Spevacek. This lovely, late Renaissance/ early Baroque work is complemented by a new, contemporary English text for general use by school choirs, and also a soaring descant which adds to the emotional impact. The English text, a powerful call for peace, is not intended to be a literal translation of the original Latin (which is also included as a performance option).

Moore. Donald Moore is a master when it comes to adapting classic canons for young voices, and this is an excellent example of his work.

A pronunciation guide for the Latin is written in the vocal parts, and performance notes are also included. The melodies have no difficult leaps or accidentals, which simplifies teaching, sight- reading and memorization. Educationally, musically and compositionally solid. An excellent choice. 3192275 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 Cantate DominoRuth Morris Gray.

CD . . . 44.99 n Da Pacem, DomineJohn Purifoy. The universal longing for peace is the theme of this moving choral plea. Infused with a deep and rich harmonic ambiance, this choral provides a full vocal range for your choir to enjoy. The use of the celebrated Canon in D by Pachelbel adds appeal, while the moving spirit of the text makes it excellent for concert and festival use! 10306592 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80 Deo Dicamus GratiasVictor Johnson. Luscious harmonies, fluid melodies, and a rich piano accompaniment all come together in this inspiring and uplifting original work for mixed chorus.

Farrell Smith. Employing the text from the Requiem Mass, this dramatic, exciting, rhythmic setting propels the angular melodies, many of which are unison, forward. The contrasting, lyric B section allows for a brief respite and will challenge the singers to explore color in tone and expression. This is sure to be a compelling piece for middle school and young high school choirs. 10443549 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H Distant LandJohn Rutter. "I see a distant land: it shines so clear. Sometimes it seems so far, sometimes so near." Composed in 1990 soon after the demolition of the Berlin Wall, this deeply expressive prayer for unity is even more gripping since the attacks of 9/11. John's evocative text does not center on the "distant land" and its inherent glories, rather it emphasizes the journey of life; the "dusty roads" that we all travel together toward a united and free people. It's a cry to God for strength in the journey that is timely and profoundly moving! 3295910 SSATTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 3297658 Orchestration . . . . . . . . . . . 50.00 Domine DeusSally K.
