l
Sonntagarr. Jill Gallina. Brahms' radiant Lied
is crafted into this lovely SSA choral work. Unison
singing establishes the melody then breaks
off into three-part harmony. Individual part-
singing in the second verse makes this small
masterwork an excellent teaching piece as well
as a performance gem.

Spirate Pur, Spirate (Oh, Breeze, Light Breeze)

this charming soprano/alto duet create a wonderful
opportunity for treble choirs to explore the beauty
of the vocal lines and develop the unified tone
quality called for in art song performances. An ideal
selection for contest, concert and festival!

n A Starry NightMary Lynn Lightfoot. "A cloud
fell down from the heavens, and broke on the
mountain's brow..." An imaginative poem by
Paul Laurence Dunbar is eloquently expressed in
this lovely tone poem for young and developing
choirs. Creative contrasts abound as an ethereal
opening in major mode leads into a spirited jazz
waltz that alternates between major and minor.
The piece closes with that same waltz fading into
the "starry night."

Stars I Shall FindVictor C. Johnson. "There
will be rest, and sure stars shining over the
rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest,
serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and
low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's
picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful musical
imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully crafted
accompaniment, contrasting dynamics, and warm,
colorful harmonies create a magical effect. This is
an extraordinarily good choice for performances all
year! Highly recommended!

H Stopping by Woods on a Snowy EveningVera
Kistler. This absolutely enchanting setting of Robert

4 The Symphony of NightMark Patterson.
This setting of the Swedish folk tune Bred Dina
Vida Vingar, with new English lyrics, describes
the magical qualities of nightfall and the beauty
of the starlit sky. "As the moon ascends the
evening sky and the sun gives way to rest, lilies
bow their heads to bid good-night and the lark
returns to nest..."

4 There is PeaceJim Papoulis. The essence
of this work, in a world of conflict and violence,
is the need for a deep understanding that peace
can come from all of us. After the opening phrase,
"Look in the eyes of the children, feel the touch of
their hands, there is peace," the verse enters, with
a full, yet still gentle sound. The refrain is more
celebratory, followed by a quiet bridge and an
ending which is calm and introspective, much like
the opening.

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!

Charles Dickens' well-known poem will resonate
with any women's choir. Heartfelt melody

teaching moments and ensure a positive musical
experience. "The pure, the bright, the beautiful
that stirred our hearts in youth. The impulses of
a wordless prayer, the streams of love and truth,
these things shall never die..."

4 Things That Never DieVictor C. Johnson.
In this heartfelt setting of Charles Dickens' well-
known poem, lyrical melodic lines contrast with lush
harmonic refrains, all in easy, accessible ranges
for developing voices. The piano accompaniment
is very nice, supportive while giving its own voice
to the performance. "The pure, the bright, the
beautiful that stirred our hearts in youth, the
impulses to wordless prayer, the streams of love
and truth...these things can never die."

on a text by Walt Whitman, this poignant setting
celebrates the beauty of the human spirit while
embracing the power of singing in community.

celebrate and sing myself..." Mixed meter and
tempo changes emphasize the text as the work
progresses from a stately opening to a grand finale.

and flow. Beautiful imagery and word painting help

for developing treble and mixed choirs.

4 The VagabondMark Patterson. Mark
Patterson's original setting of The Vagabond for
male solo voice was inspired by Robert Louis
Stevenson's poem of the same name. This
vagabond has chosen the life of the open road: a
bed that "looks up to the stars" and a solitary path
where "freedom is his only companion." This is sure
to resonate with young men.

H Velvet ShoesRandall Thompson. Now available
for mixed or treble voices, this is a stunning setting
of the famous winter poem by Elinor Wylie. "Let us
walk in the white snow in a soundless space; with
footsteps quiet and slow, at a tranquil pace, under
veils of white lace..." The choral parts sing easily, and
the piano interludes add their own winter imagery
between verses. A reflective selection that will be a
beautifully expressive moment in your concert!

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!
