breath away," is one everyone can relate to, and is
appropriate for any time of year.

Music's Echo—Greg Gilpin. A text by Thomas Moore
provides the inspiration for this innovative a cappella piece,
which uses percussion accompaniment to create a magical
effect! It begins with a simple melody, then each part joins
with its own melody as the polyphonic singing builds in a
glorious tribute to music. "How sweet the answer Echo
makes to Music at night, when, roused by lute or horn, she
wakes..." This may be used as a processional, or it may be
sung antiphonally by two or more choirs. Parts for triangle
or finger cymbals, tambourine, mid/high drum and low drum
are included. Highly recommended!
