The Gift to Be Freearr. Rollo Dilworth. The
traditional Shaker hymn Simple Gifts is reinterpreted
in this setting, highlighted by layered vocal lines and
gospel-style harmonies. Opening simply, the work
gradually builds in dynamics and intensity through
several choruses and then quietly retreats into a
reprise of the opening phrase.

Dating back to sixteenth-century England, Hey! Ho!
Nobody Home! was sung by carolers who went
from door to door to receive food for their singing,

Christmas holiday. Presented as a round, this
swing-style arrangement is easy to learn and fun
to sing.

The cherished American folk hymn is treated lovingly
in this easy yet poignant setting. Simple and reverent,

the original. "My life flows on in endless song above

hymn that hails a new creation..." Exquisite!

I Bought Me a Catarr. Sally K. Albrecht. Now
available for two-part or SAB choirs, Sally's fresh
treatment of the humorous American folk song is
in "add-on" style, with a new animal introduced
in each verse. Each animal sings a distinctive call,
such as "hissy hissy" for the goose or "chimmy
chuck, chimmy chuck" for the hen. By the end,
there's a whole barnyard of animals singing their
calls together!

n I'm Goin' There! (Wayfaring Stranger)arr.
Greg Gilpin. This is more than just an
arrangement of Wayfaring Stranger. Greg has
written an original counterline which becomes
a rhythmic ostinato beneath the traditional tune
and the result is phenomenal! The familiar
melody and poignant words take on a new
level of meaning as they soar above the soulful
accompaniment in this superb arrangement!
Highly recommended!

of the legend of John Henry, complete with the
sounds of the hissing train and the hammer on
the railroad track. "Then he died with his hammer
in his hand! O Lord! Died with his hammer in his
hand..." Your singers will really give their all when

n The JourneyJoseph Martin. This two-part
arrangement is a real find for mixed or treble choirs!
Combining the beloved Simple Gifts and the famous

Symphony" in partner-song format, this is easy

remarkable how well the two melodies fit together!
Very nice!

Developing treble voice!
Let Nature Sing
Solo Songs for the
Developing Treble Voice
Various. Here is the fifth volume
in a series of solo songs for young
singers. It contains a wide variety of
songs, from spirituals and folksongs
to originally composed works.
Selected with the treble voice in
mind, songs with narrow ranges
of six and seven notes progress to
songs that expand the range as the
voice develops. The nature of the
selections is to challenge the voice,
not to tax it; to develop its expressive
capabilities, not to overextend them.
Contents include: Sometimes I Feel
Like a Motherless Child; I Know
Where I'm Goin'; The Song That
Nature Sings; Oh Shenandoah; Night
Winds; Pure, White Owl; How Can I
Keep from Singing?; There's an Air of
Joy in the Meadow; La Paloma and
This Morning Paradise.
