Secular Concert All Voicings medium-advanced
t DawnRobert Bode & Eric William Barnum. Dawn
is a musical meditation on the coming light-filled day

door's soft opening and the day's first sigh, filling the
room, I see before me a life of doors, one opening
on another..." The final moments of this remarkable
a cappella work are like clouds of color forming and
disappearing, ending in a tranquil silence.

D. Jason Bishop. In this, one of Schubert's first
and most successful art songs, Gretchen reflects

employs a folk-like sound to capture W.B. Yeats'
wonderfully descriptive words from The Lake
Isle of Innisfree. The movement in the piano, the

strings work together with the voices to create the
imagery of a long and pleasant journey.

cummings poem hurtle ever faster to the final
sudden "stop" for an extraordinary concert finale.

n Song to the Moon (La Luna)Z. Randall Stroope.
This is vintage, expressive writing for the upper-level
choir. Scored for voices, flute, oboe and piano, it is

lover. I am waiting, I am calling..."

with the choir through this beautiful piece.

When Stephen Paulus passed
away in October of 2014, the
music community lost one
of its most significant and
expressive voices. Mr. Paulus
was a Grammy-nominated
composer, equally at
home with choral and
instrumental works. He was
probably best known for his
arrangements of Christmas
carols, performed annually
by the Dale Warland Singers.
The titles listed here are a
small example of more than
500 works that bear his
unmistakable and unique
musical imprint.
