H Sure on this Shining NightMorten Lauridsen.
"Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows
round, kindness must watch for me this side the
ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle
Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music
captures all of the beauty and wonder of James
Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices
(with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a
superb composition for better choirs!

4t Sweetest LoveMatthew Emery. This beautiful
text by Metaphysical poet John Donne brings a
poignant message that as long as you keep what is
most loved in your heart, you are never truly parted.
This lovely idea is held together by a common
melody sung by the sopranos, which transforms
through various key changes, symbolizing life's
always changing pulse.

H There Will Be RestFrank Ticheli. Sara
Teasdale's lyric poem looks to the stars for serenity
and promise, and this handsome setting is superbly
crafted by noted composer Frank Ticheli. Tasteful
harmonic suspensions and rich choral textures
bring this work to life with a delicate beauty
that perfectly expresses the spirit of the poem.
A superior choice for concert appearances with
more capable choirs.

n TundraCharles A. Silvestri & Ola Gjeilo. Majestic
scenes from Ola Gjeilo's native Norway inspired
Charles Silvestri's text for this contemporary
tone poem. The words and music are fused in a
poignant, lyrical way to convey the intense beauty
of the landscape. An excellent winter feature or
festival choice for mature women's choirs.

l The TygerAndrew Miller. William Blake's
famous poem The Tyger has been the inspiration
for many pieces of choral music. This interpretation
was the winner of the 2013 NDSU Edwin Fissinger
Choral Composition Contest. Appropriate for
advanced high school and college choirs, it will
display your ensemble's musicianship in a most
positive light.

t Voice DanceGreg Jasperse. This is amazing!
A wordless vocal dance, celebrating the human
voice and the joy of singing together - this
goes beyond vocal jazz into the realm of sound
painting. Unlike most vocal jazz, the syllables
used are virtually all open vowel sounds, such as
Ba va da do way and Da dee ya dan do way. For
choirs at the medium-advanced level, this creates
a compelling vocal texture such as you've never
heard! Highly recommended!

Ht Water NightEric Whitacre. This emotive work
for divisi choir, based on a translation of a poem by
Octavio Paz, uses an advanced palette of harmonic
colors for a shimmering and mysterious effect. It
provides a stellar moment in your concert hall with
your more accomplished choir.

4t Will There Really Be a Morning?Dan
Campolieta. "Will there really be a 'Morning?' Is
there such a thing as 'Day?' Could I see it from
the mountains if I were as tall as they?" This gentle
and poignant musical setting focuses on the hope
inherent in Emily Dickinson's famous poem. It
conveys the poet's timeless words with great
sensitivity and beauty for a cappella voices.

Ht William Tell OvertureGioacchino Rossini/arr.
Eschliman. Rossini would be amazed by what Julie
Eschliman has done with his famous piece! It's hard
to keep a straight face while singing this hilarious
novelty arrangement for better choirs. Sung entirely
on syllables which imitate the sounds of the original
orchestral score, this is tongue-in-cheek humor at
its best! Awesome when performed a cappella,
but equally impressive with the optional piano
accompaniment, this will earn a standing ovation!
Very highly recommended!

n You Are the MusicDan Forrest. This lush,
award-winning SSAATB work with soprano solo
hauntingly sets Amy Lowell's "Listening" text in a
most engaging manner. The piano accompaniment
and French horn solo work in partnership with the
choral ensemble.

Madrigals
Ht All Ye Who Music LoveBaldassare Donato/
Spevacek. Here's a stunning original work in
Madrigal style, this is light and airy, bright and
festive. Linda has taken a clever approach to the
famous Donato text, with lilting music and word
painting, which allows the choir to "warble" with
impunity! It's a fun introduction to Madrigals for
developing voices!

t Alleluia MadrigalDonald Moore. Develop your
choir's a cappella skills with this straightforward
original madrigal that employs traditional
harmonies, modest ranges, and lots of repetition,
making it a quickly learned piece. An excellent
choice for beginning mixed groups, this also sings
very well in the SSA and TTBB voicings, and its
text options allow for performances throughout the
school year. Very nicely done!

Come Away, Sweet LoveThomas Greaves/
arr. John Leavitt. This delightful five-voice
madrigal from 1604 is outstanding! Echo effects
and lots of interplay among the parts make the
most of the musical imagery of "running in and
out." This is guaranteed fun to rehearse and
perform! Highly recommended!

4t Come, Let's BeginThomas Weelkes/arr. John
Leavitt. This sprightly, dance-like madrigal is a great
teaching piece! A delightful concert opener, it lends
itself well to a processional with voices, hand drum
and tambourine. At just under two minutes' duration,
it is short and very sweet! Highly recommended!

wordplay and double meanings. English translation

a husband jealous of his beautiful wife. A new

edition of Certon's 16th century gem!

Je Ne Fus Jamais Si AisePierre Certon/
arr. Jerry Estes. Pierre Certon's dancing and
lighthearted work is made more accessible for
younger voices with this fine arrangement. The
harmonic and textural elements remain true to the
original, preserving the frivolity of the piece. You
may choose to sing only the French text and end at
the optional fine, or extend the length and continue
singing using the English text. Add the flute and
percussion parts to create the perfect performance.

t A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad MadrigalKirby 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!
