4 Music I HeardVicki Tucker Courtney. This song
of remembrance celebrates a profound relationship
and mourns its end. While the piece is not difficult
to sing, groups that fully express the mature text and
master the musical lines will achieve excellence.

4 My SongAudrey Snyder. Your young singers
will celebrate the music within them as they sing
their own song of confidence and joy! An uptempo
pop/gospel groove and easy back and forth melody
will make this a snap to learn and a super concert
showcase! Highly recommended!

l Mysterious MoonJanet Gardner. Longfellow's
mysterious words are beautifully set with a minor-
mode melody, designed specifically for developing
choirs. Staggered entrances create a canon effect,
and independent voice parts form partner song
moments. Stays comfortably within a one-octave
range for all.

H Ode to Peace (Based on the finale to
Beethoven's "Symphony No. 9")Jill Gallina.
Jill has created a partner song, adding original
lyrics and an original countermelody to Beethoven's
Ode To Joy. A hopeful message of world peace
is conveyed in a fun way that young singers will
thoroughly enjoy. Included in the publication
are easy brass parts (2 trumpets, 2 trombones
and baritone horn). Ideal for any occasion and a
dynamic concert finale!

H The Pasture (from "Frostiana")Randall
Thompson. One of two selections for men from
Randall Thompson's "Frostiana," this has become
a standard of choral literature for the male chorus
for half a century.

H The Path to the MoonEric Thiman. This
"cantabile" work in 6/8 for unison voices has a quiet,
gentle lilt to it that makes it effective for contest or
festival performances.

H Peace I Leave with YouW.A. Mozart/Moore.
With a melody by Mozart and an arrangement
perfectly crafted for your singers by Don Moore,
this classic canon setting is excellent for young
and developing groups. Add the easy optional
C-instrument part and sign language included in
the publication for a memorable touch. This will be
the one your audience remembers after the concert
is over.

4t The Race is RunJay Althouse. Remembering
the 2013 Boston Marathon, this reverent tribute
is an exceptional a cappella selection for concert
groups. Throughout the brief ABA format,
occasional dissonance resolves into lush choral
harmony. And at the end, a final unison note
symbolizes our unity.

n RainstormRoger Emerson. "Sound painting"
is what this creative piece is all about, and it
achieves a magical effect! The choral parts for
either three-part mixed or SATB voices are very
simple, while much of the effect is produced by the
piano and a small group of percussion instruments
(cymbals, glockenspiel, timpani, shaker & triangle).
The simple text describes the excitement of the
approaching storm: "Something's coming...I can
tell. From the heavens, from the well. Moving
Eastward, from the West. Dark and angry; will it
rest?" Finally, the chorus makes the sound of falling
rain with random finger snaps. This is very special!
Highly recommended!

H Rhythm of the RainJerry Estes. With optional
parts for woodblock, shaker, triangle, drum and
other Orff instruments, this is a terrific example of
tone painting! "Listen to the rhythm of the falling
rain..." Everything about this piece-the repetitive
text, the stepwise melody, the piano part, the
rhythm instruments-reinforces the musical image
of falling rain. Add the descant and, before your
singers know it, they'll be singing a triple partner
song! Superb!

4 Ribbons in the SkyAndy Beck. This tasteful
Native American-inspired piece celebrates the
beauty of a rainbow. As the seven colors are
revealed, use movement scarves or ribbon wands
for added effect, instructions included in the
publication. An optional recorder part adds to the
multicultural character.

t Rise up in Festive SongPierre Clereau/arr.
Liebergen. This tuneful work from the Renaissance
is up-tempo and bright. Clarity of line and a firm
harmonic base make the work easy to learn and fun
to sing. Add the optional percussion instruments to
give it even more Renaissance flavor. Appropriate
for concert and festival use, you may even change
one word to get a piece you can use on your holiday
concert. A real winner!
