In this expressive setting of a traditional Latin text,

Homage—Z. Randall Stroope. Each of us is, in
large part, the embodiment of the many experiences
and people who have sculpted our lives. Our strength,
wisdom, courage, and tears are all products of
that unique blend of our associations with others -
sometimes on a long-term basis and sometimes sharing
only moments. This profound work honors those whose
influence is the most treasured gift in our lives.

Hope—Greg Gilpin & Pamela Stewart.
This powerful and inspirational work sings of "hope"
described through the phases of life, such as a
newborn's cry, the laughter of children, the ashes of
the fire of love that has died, the quiet comfort of a
dream. Set to haunting and dynamic music with piano
or optional orchestration, the gorgeous work comes to a
moving conclusion: "Hope is not lost; hope is not gone.
It is not dead; it still lives on. Hope will arise!"

create a deeply emotional expression of hope for all
mankind. With brief narration and the echo of a Russian
folk melody, this is an important contribution to the
concert repertoire for more discerning choirs!

Breathtaking. Exquisite. This powerful prayer for peace
and mercy is sheer beauty. Layers of sound, color and
texture weave seamlessly into an intricate tapestry of

a moving, emotional plea for peace.

Omnia Sol (Let Your Heart Be Staid)—
Z. Randall Stroope.
This composition by Z. Randall
Stroope is simply too good not to consider for your mixed
or treble choir. The composer's English text speaks to the
human need to anchor words of love and commitment in
the hearts of those who have been pillars along life's way.
Omnia sol temperat, "the sun warms everything," comes
from a verse of Latin found in "Carmina Burana." An
important contribution to the choral literature!

Over the Rainbow—E.Y. Harburg &
Harold Arlen/arr. Andy Beck.
Israel

music, this is truly inspiring! A brief narration sets the
mood, enhancing the impact of this profound work: "...

The Race is Run—Jay 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.

Song for the Unsung Hero—Pamela &
Joseph Martin.
Of the compositions written in the
aftermath of the attacks of 9/11, none is more compelling
and deeply moving than this stunning tribute to all those
who serve and protect. Joe Martin's rich melody is
bathed in emotion and gratitude to the heroes who "lay
their dreams aside, choosing honor more than glory."
When the music climbs a mountainous crescendo to
reveal the strains of My Country 'Tis of Thee, the effect is
just an overpowering statement of patriotism and national
pride. This is a musical tapestry that aspires to the
inexpressible feelings of a nation and its people.
