There Is Sweet Music Here
Greg 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.

and truth...these things can never die."

A Summer Night, and You, and Paradise
Benjamin Kornelis.

your head, the universe has hung its lights, and I reach out my hand to touch
your face..." Garrison Keillor's lovely words are treated with sensitivity and care
in this touching piece. Evoking the warmth, longing, and hopefulness of love,
the work allows the choir to be driven by the natural rhythm of the poetry in
shaping each phrase. A beautiful love song, not to be missed!

There is Peace
Jim 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.
