4t Arise, My LoveBlake R. Henson. Based on
the familiar text from Song of Solomon, this
beautiful a cappella work uses colorful harmonic
structures that require care by both conductor
and singers. For better high school or university
choirs, this is superb!

BrainstormDavid L. Brunner & Scott Lounsbury.
Scott Lounsbury's poem is full of whirling images,
imaginative turns of phrase and a rhythmic
insistency that doesn't stop! David Brunner has set
his text with urgency, playfulness, electricity and
rhythmic propulsion. While a challenge to learn, it
will be a joy to perform!

l Chimes: 1. Soul RejoicingValery Gavrilin.
Soul Rejoicing opens with the stormy image of a
band of horsemen riding fiercely in the darkness
of a moonless night. Thus, with the sounds of
pounding hooves and riders' shouts, begins
Perezvony (Chimes), Valery Gavrilin's monumental
multi-movement composition subtitled On Reading
V. Shukshyn Miracle Play - "Choral Symphony,"
scored for mixed chorus, narrator, percussion and
solo oboe. Emotionally charged and rhythmically
driven from the start, this movement continues
to build with excitement and tension through
Gavrilin's brilliant use of choral texture, dynamics,
and extended melodic lines. The text (in Russian),
written in the style of Russian folklore by the
composer himself, doesn't tell a story per se,
rather it provides textual colors and strong images
through many tongue-twisting, onomatopoeic word
combinations. (Russian pronunciation guide is
available from the publisher's website.)

l Chimes: 5. Ti-Ri-RiValery Gavrilin. Ti-Ri-Ri,
the wordless fifth movement of Gavrilin's "Choral
Symphony," paints a colorful and theatrical
scene. One can almost see young men and
women gathering (for a dance, perhaps) and as
the voices enter one by one, the listener hears a
different character from each vocal part. A musical
drama ensues, but the scene ends peacefully with
the basses singing their jaunty, sturdy ostinato.

In this seventh movement of Gavrilin's "Choral

of a man's - or a nation's - journey of enlightenment
and spirituality.

A Choral FlourishLinda Spevacek. An
invigorating work, full of wonderful contrasts in
vocal textures and dynamics! "Plaudite, plaudite,
clap your hands. Psallite, psallite, play your strings"
is a recurrent motive that fuels the excitement and
intensity. With mixed meters, minor modality and
very effective hand clapping, this is an exceptionally
creative piece that will display your choir's
musicianship in a very exciting way!

H CloudburstEric Whitacre. The powerful fusion
of Octavio Paz's words and Eric Whitacre's musical

t Come SleepDaniel Brinsmead. This prize-
winning a cappella work by a talented young
Australian composer has intrigued all who have
heard it. Harmonically rich, it is a masterful example
of how to create musical drama via great melodic
interest, combined with exquisite tonal shifts
realized through superb voice leading. The text
is by John Fletcher, who was a contemporary of
Shakespeare. "Come, sleep, and with thy sweet
deceiving lock me in delight awhile; let some
pleasing dreams beguile all my fancies..."

t DawnRobert Bode & Eric William Barnum. Dawn
is a musical meditation on the coming light-filled day
and all the possibilities that it possesses. "From the
door's soft opening and the day's first sigh, filling the
room, I see before me a life of doors, one opening
on another..." The final moments of this remarkable
a cappella work are like clouds of color forming and
disappearing, ending in a tranquil silence.

Written by Hila Plitmann and inspired by a trip to

lt Four Spanish SonnetsZ. Randall Stroope.
These exquisite settings of poems by Garcilaso
de la Vega are an important contribution to the
literature for today's choirs. Included are: En tanto
que de rosa y azucena (While colors of the rose and
lily); Se para refrenar este deseo loco (As if to refrain
from this crazy desire); Hermosas ninfas que, en
el rio metidas (Beautiful nymphs who pass through
the river); Amor de mi alma (You are the love of my
soul). 16 minutes.

Randall Stroope. Translated as "Beautiful nymphs
who are in the river," this accompanied setting
of a sonnet by Garcilaso de la Vega captures
all the magical feeling of the poet's image of
lovely nymphs playing among the shimmering
stones in the tempting water of the river. A
wonderfully evocative work for better choirs, this
is absolutely stunning!

4t The Human HeartEric William Barnum. The
Human Heart is a heartfelt rendering of several
moments in William Wordsworth's poem Intimations
of Immortality. The text calls us to take nothing for
granted in our daily lives. This lovely unaccompanied
setting allows the singers to sing with joy and
freedom to embody the essence and purpose of
Wordsworth's exceptional vision of humanity.

Teasdale's immortal poem is treated lovingly in

marvelous work which will be in great demand by
mixed choirs everywhere!

sudden "stop" for an extraordinary concert finale.
