H Song for the Unsung HeroPamela & Joseph
Martin. Of the compositions written in the aftermath
of the attacks of 9/11, none is more compelling and
deeply moving than this stunning tribute to all those
who serve and protect. Joe Martin's rich melody
is bathed in emotion and gratitude to the heroes
who "lay their dreams aside, choosing honor more
than glory." When the music climbs a mountainous
crescendo to reveal the strains of My Country 'Tis of
Thee, the effect is just an overpowering statement
of patriotism and national pride. This is a musical
tapestry that aspires to the inexpressible feelings of
a nation and its people.

n A Song Sung OnceAmy F. Bernon. The hopeful
message in the song encourages us to "Let your
song be remembered, help it thrive and breathe and
grow." Effectively moving between major and minor
modes with at times a stark, interpretive piano
accompaniment, this inspiring and meaningful
selection will distinguish your group's appearance
at concerts, graduation or end-of-year gatherings.

ThankfulCarole Bayer Sager, David Foster
and Richard Page/arr.Tom Fettke. From the Josh
Groban Noel CD comes this tender ballad that
encourages everyone simply to look around us
for reminders of God's faithfulness. Tom Fettke's
inclusion of Thanks to God brings this choral setting
to a satisfying conclusion. Heartfelt expression for
any service of thanksgiving.

n There Is Sweet Music HereGreg Gilpin. Your
choir will sound magnificent when they sing this
superb setting of the famous text by Alfred, Lord
Tennyson. "There is sweet music here that softer
falls than petals from blown roses on the grass, or
night dews on still waters..." With very modest vocal
demands, this is perfect for the young choir, but
mature choirs will also appreciate its musicality and
depth. Highly recommended!

t Thirty Second Fa La LaDonald Moore. Yes! It
only takes thirty seconds to perform this unique and
tasty "Fa La La!" Use it as a warm-up exercise, a
concert opener, closer, or even a surprise encore!
A terrific vehicle for teaching independence of parts
and dynamic contrasts, this is also an introduction
to imitative style and a cappella singing!

t
Viva La Musica!David Brunner. Translated
as, "Long live music," the title phrase is the only
Spanish text in this boldly stated a cappella concert
opener. The opening musical statement in unison
is followed quickly by a dance-like, imitative section
that allows all the parts to soar. The final buildup
to the end is both dynamically and harmonically
exciting and will bring the house down!

n The Water Is Widearr. Ruth Elaine Schram.
This refreshing arrangement of the popular folksong
includes the original words plus an alternate text
based on the poem "The Search" by Robert Louis
Stevenson. "...As I look out across the sea, a bright
horizon beckons me. And I am called to do my best,
and be the most that I can be." A strong choice as a
folksong, graduation feature or concert closer, this
is simply beautiful!

n We're Here to SingRobert Schumann/
arr. Delanoy & Aranowski. Also known as The
Happy Farmer, this familiar tune is probably best
remembered from its use in the soundtrack for "The
Wizard of Oz." Set to delightful lyrics, in partner-
style, the arrangement is designed so the boys and
the girls can learn their unison parts separately,
then sing them together along with a simple
three-part mixed middle section that is equally
easy to learn. Terrific for choirs that have separate
rehearsals for male and female singers, this is a
simple, fun and endearing opener for any concert!

H When I Close My EyesJim Papoulis &
Francisco Nunez. "When I close my eyes then I can
see that I am not afraid." This song of confidence
and hope for young voices resonates with
positive lyrics, a strong melody and an expressive
accompaniment for piano and cello. Written in ABA
form, the message is enhanced with the contrasting
middle section that is a clear declaration of belief
in oneself. An enriching choral statement that we
recommend very highly!

concert closer! "A sound of hope, a sound of
peace, a sound that celebrates and speaks what
we believe. A sound of love, a sound so strong. It's
amazing what is given when we share a song. This
is why we sing..." You won't find a better song than
this one for combined choirs celebrating the joy of
music! Highly recommended!

Wink to the Little BabyMary Goetze. This
playful piece uses snippets of familiar folk songs,
including barking and other animal sounds, to make
a thoroughly delightful novelty number for young
choirs! Bouncy, with a Scottish lilt, it's easy and fun
all the way - an excellent closer or encore piece!
Highly recommended!

n Yo Vivo Cantando!Jerry Estes. Lend a Latin-
American flair to your concert with this exuberant
original piece about the joys of singing. The title
phrase is the only Spanish text. The combination of
catchy melodies that are easy to learn, lively rhythms,
and a limited range result in a terrific opener that also
fills a multicultural slot on your program.

listeners to their feet! Our highest recommendation!

n Ain't Gonna Let Nobody Turn Me Around
Rollo Dilworth. This freedom song was sung
as an anthem of protest during the civil rights
movement to spread the message of faith,
determination and perseverance. The composer
has combined it with original music, to the
words of the Langston Hughes poem Words Like
Freedom, to create a wonderful showcase for
treble voices.

Grassi. Bold and dignified, this powerful

Lazarus' poem, The New Colossus. Words and
melody come together to form a breathtaking
anthem of patriotism. Accompaniment by
piano or with the addition of the optional brass
quintet and timpani parts, this work will be well
received in school, community, and sacred
performances alike.

America the BeautifulSamuel Ward/arr. Kinyon.
This is an excellent patriotic number for young
musicians! For band alone it is a superb selection,
and it may also be combined with optional two-
part chorus, which includes a spoken "Pledge Of
Allegiance," for an unusually effective presentation!

t America, The Beautifularr. Darmon Meader.
Our beloved patriotic hymn could not be more
beautiful than in this incomparable setting. With a
minimum of divisi and some exquisite solo spots,
this is singable by virtually any SATB choir. Of the
many arrangements of this hymn available, this is
in a class by itself. Highly recommended!

Anthemarr. John Purifoy. Whether or not you
are familiar with the musical "Chess," you will want
to include this beautiful song from the show in your
patriotic repertoire. "I cross over borders but I'm still
there now... My land's only borders lie around my
heart." As performed by Josh Groban, this inspiring
song is simply breathtaking!

The American
Spirit
Mark Hayes & Pamela Tomlinson
Stewart.
Written for a combined
chorus performance at Avery
Fisher Hall, Lincoln Center, with
the composer conducting, this
major work in three movements,
with narration, is both poignant and
inspiring. I. The Spirit of Self-Reliance
and Individualism. II. The Spirit of
Equality and Justice. III. The Spirit
of Optimism and Dreams. Drawing
inspiration from the words of Henry
David Thoreau and quoting Simple
Gifts; Zion's Walls and Materna, this
is a classic Mark Hayes composition
combining stylistic, contemporary
writing with a classical foundation.
With piano accompaniment this
will be powerful, but with either the
full orchestration or the chamber
orchestration, it will be unforgettable!
