Requiem Aeternam (Rest Eternal)
John Purifoy.
Choirs that are not prepared to perform one of the larger, more difficult settings
of the Requiem should consider this reverent work, which alternates between
Latin and English texts. The work establishes an atmosphere of gentle devotion,
yet is accessible to medium-level choirs. Highly recommended!

Rise and Shine!
arr. Rollo Dilworth.
Two African-American spirituals, Rise, Shine, for Thy Light Is A-Comin' and
This Little Light of Mine, are combined in this solid setting. They work together
beautifully! This is an excellent teaching piece, too; the performance notes give
historical background on both tunes, and the arranger's notes describe his
strategy in joining both tunes as a partner-song. Highly recommended!

The Rock Island Line
arr. Vicki Tucker Courtney.
All aboard! This energetic arrangement of the bluesy folk song has a wide
range of dynamics and accents, imitating the sound of a train. The perfect
choice for any concert, any time of the year, and most importantly, it's just fun!

Rockin' Jerusalem
Rollo Dilworth.
"Ring dem bells..." is a recurring motive in this authentic gospel-style setting
of the traditional spiritual, and the effect is fantastic! It's a song of celebration,
anticipation, freedom and hope, and the message of the text comes through
with great urgency in the layered vocal lines, supported by an amazing piano
accompaniment! Highly recommended!

Run, Mary, Run
Brian Tate.
Encouragement, determination and fundamental human rights sing out in this
spiritual with the powerful line, "You got a right to the tree of life!" Sung with
a diverse range of vocal sound in a loose, gospel-like style, this a cappella
setting of the traditional spiritual includes an optional part for djembe. With easy
harmony and very effective repetition, it really percolates!

Sambalele
arr. Will Lopes.
The word "samba" comes from a Brazilian rhythm and dance, and the word
"lele" is an expression of excitement. Vocal percussion, exciting dynamics,
snappy rhythmic figures and fun Portuguese text combine to make this a one-
of-a-kind a cappella experience for your choir and audience.

Psallite Hodie!
Victor Johnson.
Bright syncopations, mixed meter, and a contrasting, slower middle section
distinguish this original festival work as one of the best available. With
limited vocal ranges and varied textures, it will be a rewarding experience
for all! Highly recommended!

A Psalm of Life (Walk On)
Lynn Shaw Bailey.
"Lives of greatness all remind us, we can make our lives sublime...walk on,
leave your footprints on the sands of time." Based on a famous poem by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, this is an exceptional work for young voices!
Your students will be uplifted by the poet's immortal words as they are swept
up in the music. Melodic and singable all the way, this will be a memorable
experience, enhanced by historical background of the poem in the performance
notes. Highly recommended!

The Rain and the Rainbow
Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid.
This lilting piece for beginning SSA choirs reflects on the sights and sounds of
nature. The part-writing is easy, with accessible ranges, and an optional flute
obbligato adds nice tonal color. The Christina Rossetti texts upon which this is
based have a ring of familiarity: "Rain, rain, go away; come again another day...
Boats sail on the rivers, and ships sail on the seas..."

Read 'Em, John
Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory.
Here is an awesome ring-shout spiritual for young singers, which harkens
to the historic folk-music style of the South Carolina Sea Islands. Call-and-
response vocals, hand claps, and a great piano part make this a fantastic
showcase for treble choirs! Highly recommended!

Red Is the Rose
arr. Patti Drennan.
This adaptation of the beloved Irish folk song has a beautiful, flowing melodic
line in a lilting waltz-like tempo. Treble choirs will enjoy being storytellers of this
cherished Irish tale. "Twas down by Killarney's green woods that we played and
the moon and the stars they were shining..."

Red River Valley
arr. Roger Emerson.
Everyone knows this as a cowboy song, but Roger Emerson has uncovered a
quality in it that no one knew was there. Set in a haunting, contemporary style,
the tune takes on a freshness that brings it into our time. The a cappella middle
section is especially beautiful!
