This novelty piece takes "like" to a hilarious level, making fun of how often we use the word. With options to feature a soloist or small group of sopranos before all voice parts combine into a polyphonic babble of "nothing" talk, this Latin-rock style work lends itself well to simple choreography. This is, like, a very cute novelty piece about cliches in common speech!

"Listen to me like a sensible man." Everyone will sit up and listen when your mixed choir - or men's choir - hits the first measure of this infectious spiritual. Great rhythms, a touch of jazz and string bass accompaniment all come together to admonish the flock: "Not everyone who cries 'Lord, Lord' is gonna walk into the Kindgom of God." 1227552 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10458775 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4t A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad Madrigal—Kirby Shaw. This is very funny! It's a mad, mad, mad, mad madrigal indeed when the "fa-la-la's" get mixed up with the "shoo-bee-doo-bee-doo's" and the "rama-lama-ding-dong's!" Novelty madrigals are rare, and this is the best one available - it will have your audience in stitches! Highly recommended! 10455756 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4 The Mermaid's Lament—Joseph Martin & John Parker. A tale of the sea and unrequited love is artfully set here for SSA voices. This original poem is a bittersweet cry of the heart and is supported by an impressionistic piano accompaniment. The Mermaid's Lament offers great expressive opportunities for your singers, from clear unison singing to sweeping three-part textures. 10453985 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10453999 Multi-Song Accomp.

A text by Thomas Moore provides the inspiration for this innovative a cappella piece, which uses percussion accompaniment to create a magical effect! It begins with a simple melody, then each part joins with its own melody as the polyphonic singing builds in a glorious tribute to music. "How sweet the answer Echo makes to Music at night, when, roused by lute or horn, she wakes..." This may be used as a processional, or it may be sung antiphonally by two or more choirs. Parts for triangle or finger cymbals, tambourine, mid/high drum and low drum are included. Highly recommended! 10029515 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10453990 TB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10453999 Multi-Song Accomp. CD . . 44.99 4 My Singing Bird—arr.

A wonderful opportunity for poetic exploration of meaning. 10442063 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4 My Singing Bird—arr. Sheila Donahue. Many of the melodic turns in this traditional Irish Folk song mimic bird calls, emphasizing the connection between art and nature.

The simple yet supportive accompaniment allows the vocals to be showcased throughout. "Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphry font: The firefly wakens: waken thou with me..."
