4 A LullabyRyan Murphy. The poetry of Eugene
Field is captured beautifully in this original work.
The words of the lullaby speak both to a child
falling asleep and to a child who "does not hear
his mother's song." The lilting triple meter and the
movement of the piano accompaniment imitate
rocking. Add the optional strings for a lush effect.
"And as I sing, my sweet, to you, oh, would the
lullaby I sing - the same sweet lullaby he knew
while slumbering on this bosom too - were borne
to him on angel's wing! So hushaby - O hushaby."
Highly recommended!

CONDUCTING
WOMEN'S CHOIRS
Strategies for Success
ed. Debra Spurgeon.
This is a pioneering yet practical
book and DVD devoted to all
aspects of the women's choir - a
groundbreaking contribution and
a true collaborative effort from
top professionals in the field. For
the first time in a book, choral
leaders bring together historical,
philosophical, psychological,
sociological, pedagogical, and
real-world considerations to the
women's choir - information
missing from most choral methods
and conducting texts. Areas
of focus include: working with
beginning, high school, collegiate,
and community women's
choirs; improving the sound
of women's choirs; suggested
repertoire for women's choirs;
composing for women's choirs;
building community within the
ensemble; warm-ups and rehearsal
strategies; building excellence in
women's choirs. Sections also
focus on mentoring, auditions,
seating arrangements, historical
women's repertoire, healthy vocal
development, gender issues,
history, status of the women's
choir, and much more. This book
features research, practical insights,
and round-table discussions. The
included DVD demonstrates choral
techniques and teaching ideas
with two women's choirs: Aurora,
from Luther College, conducted
by Sandra Peter; and The
University of Kentucky Women's
Choir, conducted by Lori Hetzel.
Conducting Women's Choirs is,
quite simply, essential for anyone
who is involved in the women's
choir movement and interested
in the culmination of decades of
experience and wisdom by leaders
in the profession.
