arrangement will allow your choir to wow your
audience in the same way! Highly recommended!

Battle Hymn of the Republic—
arr. Peter Wilhousky.
The Wilhousky setting of
this 19th century hymn is possibly the most heartfelt
musical pronouncement of American patriotism.
Divisi sections in all parts are accessible and still
richly expressive with harmonic colors and sweeping
dynamic contrasts. Emotional and highly effective, it is
a truly magnificent setting that may be performed with
band or orchestral accompaniment. It's also the one
chosen most often by U.S. military ensembles.

smile is the beginning of love." Based on the words
of Mother Teresa, this and other selected quotes

and compassion. Melody and harmony float above a
flowing piano accompaniment and optional violin. The
piece also contains a short narrative at the beginning
and the end, focusing on Mother Teresa.

Bobby Shafto—arr. Philip Lawson. With a twist
of Brahms' Lullaby and Wagner's Bridal Chorus, this
clever arrangement of an English folksong makes a
light-hearted encore number - lots of fun for concert
or community choirs! "Bobby Shafto's gone to sea,
silver buckles on his knee; he'll come back and marry
me, bonny Bobby Shafto..."

Bonse Aba (Traditional Zambian Song)—
arr. Andrew Fischer.
Here is an exuberant a cappella
number that's loaded with African atmosphere! The
traditional Zambian words are sung throughout, with
such a buoyant rhythmic feel that you are transported
into the center of a native celebration. Bonse Aba
translates as "All that sing have the right to be called
the children of God." The song is brief, but may be
repeated as many times as desired. Various voicing
options are possible, and African percussion may
be added as the piece progresses. Your choir will
definitely want to improvise some celebratory whoops
and shouts! Highly recommended!

Bridge over Troubled Water—Paul Simon/
arr. Shaw.
This is dynamite! Kirby Shaw's
phenomenal arrangement of this Simon and Garfunkel
hit ballad is contemporary choral writing at its finest.
The light, harmonic a cappella opening is contrasted
with this soaring, fresh, gospel-style setting. Optional
solos showcase special voices. A "must" for show
and concert choirs!

Dirait-On—Morten Lauridsen. This exquisite
work is the fifth of a set of choral settings of poems
by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled Les Chansons des
Roses. With velvet choral lines and a pensive mood,
it is a deeply expressive musical statement for more
accomplished choirs.

Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting of
an original text is filled with striking dynamic contrasts.
"Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy hour, the wind,
it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain... But
music and singing have been my refuge, and music
and singing shall be my light..."

For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter.
John Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing
accompaniment is equally beautiful in either the SATB
or SA treatment. If you haven't already, consider the
instrumental accompaniment for a fresh perspective
on this sacred gem. Scored for strings, winds, harp
(playable on keyboard), and drums, it includes
instrumental lines that are as lovely as the vocal lines.
A perennial favorite, this is a tasteful blend of text and
musical expression. Vintage John Rutter.

with glorious sound and inspire your singers and
listeners with profound emotion. Highly recommended!
