Light Concert & Novelty Selections
Life Is Full of RhythmGreg Gilpin. Vocal speech
allows the singer to learn how rhythms look, sound,
and feel, while developing their musicianship skills.
Add dynamics, vocal expressions, and creative fun
with hand and body percussion, if no drums are
used. The "rhythms of life" are all around us and
this unique programming piece is perfect for their
musical expression. (There is no CD for this title,
despite what is printed in the octavo.)

n Like, I Like to Say LikePepper Choplin. 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! Highly recommended!

Listen to the RainStephen L. Lawrence. This
imaginative piece will captivate your audience with
the sounds and sensations of a thunderstorm.
The whispered opening and lyrical melody set the
mood for an intriguing moment when the audience
actually becomes part of the performance. One
or more singers, the Rain Leaders, lead them
in creating a remarkably realistic-sounding
thunderstorm (using body percussion). From the
hush of the wind preceding the rain to the climactic
crash of the thunder, the effect is breathtaking!
Performance notes and ideas are included, along
with an opening narration.

n The Lobster QuadrilleDavid Eddleman. Here is a
whimsical interpretation of a Lewis Carroll poem from
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Excellent diction is
essential in telling this fantastical story, in which Alice
meets the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon, who teach
her to dance. A playful piano accompaniment and
clever vocal writing make this a lively, fun program
feature for any performance occasion!

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!

t Manly Men (Men's Chorus Extravaganza)
Kurt Knecht. Hilarious! Here is your chance to
show off the personality of your men's group with
style! Familiar melodies, such as Verdi's La Donna e
Mobile and the Toreador song from "Carmen," are
given new words to fit the egos of each different
voice part. From the arrogant Tenors who sing
louder when the pitch gets sour, to the Bassos
who will revolt if asked to sing another "dip-dip-
dip-dip-dah," this is a comic men's feature that will
positively bring down the house! Don't miss it!

march that has nothing but solfege for lyrics! You

accidentals, and movable DO with style and then

exceptionally conceived and masterfully written!
