and fun, "doo-dah day!"

Cangoma
arr. Lon Beery & Elisa Dekaney.
In the Bantu language, Cangoma means drum. The text of this piece, in
a Portuguese dialect, celebrates the end of slavery. Use congas, djembe,
tubanos, cajon, or tom-toms to add the simple drum part. A pronunciation
guide is included for this highly charged and fun-filled Brazilian folk song!

Canon!
Johann Pachelbel/arr. Alan Billingsley.
Would Pachelbel approve? Who knows. But singers and audiences surely
will! This rhythmic rendition presents the famous Canon in D with nonsensical
scat syllables. Sing a cappella or with the optional piano accompaniment. It's
guaranteed to be the most memorable three minutes of any concert program.

Cantate Domino
Ruth Morris Gray.
The familiar Latin text has been set many times by many composers, but this
dynamic and rhythmic composition rises above. Opens with a driving, marcato
theme, which is brilliantly contrasted by the expressive, legato B section.
A dramatic choral work that delivers an impressive effect.

Cantate Domino
Vicki Tucker Courtney.
Alternating between Latin and English text, this rhythmic, celebratory setting is
a fantastic opener for women's choirs! Interesting meter changes, a contrasting
middle section, and a simple piano accompaniment give the work a fresh
sound and feel that everyone will enjoy!

Mark Weston makes this Ghanaian folk song accessible for all! A pronunciation
guide is provided for the Ghanaian text, as well as English lyrics and
suggestions for optional language alternations to allow you to create your own
"language map." Rhythmic fun abounds with the percussion parts!

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.

Battle of Jericho
arr. Mark Hayes.
You've heard this famous spiritual before, but wait until you hear it in the skillful
hands of Mark Hayes! The piano part offers a fun-filled adventure; challenging,
yet doable. The choral parts are so compelling that choir members will beg to
sing them again and again. Listeners will be hard pressed to sit quietly in their
seats when these walls come a-tumblin' down!

The Beginning of Love
Greg Gilpin.
"Let us always meet each other with a smile for a smile is the beginning of
love." Based on the words of Mother Teresa, this and other selected quotes are
woven together to create a stunning lyric of love 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.

Bile Them Cabbage Down
Steve Kupferschmid.
This lively, rhythmic and humorous arrangement is pure fun from start to finish,
not to mention easy to learn! Hand-clappin', hootin' and hollerin' and even
some barking and howling fill the verses and choruses key change after key
change. Add some foot-stompin' and a fiddle and you're ready to "bile them
cabbage down!"

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..."
