Go Where I Send Thee—arr. Paul Caldwell
& Sean Ivory.
If you have a very talented choir
looking for a challenge, this is an absolutely "must
do" spiritual! Written for either SSA or SATB, both
the piano accompaniment and vocal parts are in the
authentic African-American folk tradition. The use
of the many variants of the text allows the music to
maximize the use of gospel-style modulations and
to give the singers significant one-line reminders of
some of the biblical stories on which the African-
American musical tradition is based.

Hear the Angels, Hear Them Sing—
Vicki Bedford.
The late J. Paul Williams gave us
so many wonderful lyrics for children's choirs; here
is a Christmas one that is brand new. Vicki Bedford
has fashioned a catchy melody with rhythm and
verve, and let the two vocal parts echo and play.
Smuggling in the chorus to Angels We Have Heard
on High was a stroke of genius. Children's choirs
will eat this one up.

dot" figures will make it a total blast to rehearse

concert as well as for caroling and community
