El Vito
arr. Emily Crocker.
A whirling, twirling Andalusian dancer is vividly portrayed in this setting of
a traditional Spanish folksong. Well-crafted vocal lines over a colorful piano
accompaniment make this an excellent choice for developing choirs to show
their Latin flair! The text is well balanced between Spanish and English, with
lots of fun "la-la-la" phrases. Highly recommended!

Evening Star
Victor C. Johnson.
Soaring melodic lines, lush harmonies and an artfully crafted accompaniment
grace this gorgeous piece, based on a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. The cello
obbligato adds a special touch to this inspiring and reflective concert work.
"O evening star, gently glowing star, fill our souls with peace tonight. Play for
us the gentle strains of your symphony of light."

Everything Is Music
David L. Brunner.
This spirited and energetic composition reflects the verve and vivaciousness of
the text by Rumi. The lively piano underlay forms a perfect foundation for the
soaring vocal lines.

Festival Alleluia
Sonja Poorman.
A solemn chant opens this thrilling mixed-meter piece. Eventually the
sequential melody, sung first in unison, develops into full homophonic writing.
Resonant chords ring in all voicings, and a glorious tonal shift heightens the
final cadence!

work for developing choirs sparkles with energy! Texts in Latin and English, a

Foreign Lands
Kathleen Ballantyne.
This winsome poem from Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of
Verses depicts a child's view of the world from atop a tree. It is set in the most
charming way, with a playful melody, complementary counterlines and a nimble
piano accompaniment. "Up into the cherry tree, who should climb but little me?
I held the trunk with both my hands, and looked abroad in foreign lands..."
This is simply delightful! Highly recommended!

Dies Irae
Ruth Morris Gray.
This is appropriately powerful and intense! Angular phrases and percussive
attacks add to the drama in this contemporary Latin setting of the Day of Wrath
text. A tour de force for intermediate-level choirs, more easily accessible than
classic settings such as those by Mozart or Verdi. Highly recommended!

Dominus Vobiscum
Jacob Narverud.
From the opening unison chant to the final "Amen," this powerful a cappella
setting of the ancient Latin text is a study in fluid motion. Treble choirs will feel
empowered when learning and performing this lovely prayer of peace.

Dona Dona
arr. Cristi Cary Miller.
This song from the Yiddish theater also found popularity in the folk movement
of the 1960s after it was recorded by Joan Baez. In this charming arrangement
for young and developing voices, an optional clarinet part adds to the ethnic
flavor while the "Dona, dona" phrases encourage sing-along audience
participation. Make the most of the dynamics and phrasing to help tell the story
of the calf on the way to market.

Down by the Riverside
arr. Lon Beery & Pamela Perec Lee.
A solid piano accompaniment keeps the momentum going all the way through
this gospel-swing treatment of the beloved African-American spiritual. Plenty of
repetition makes it easy to learn, while the optional baritone part offers flexibility
for developing male voices. Every middle school choir should have this ever-
popular spiritual in its repertoire!

Drying Their Wings
Greg Gilpin.
Greg's stunning setting of the Vachel Lindsay poem features an expressive
accompaniment that flows and weaves underneath the soaring melodic
lines which seem to rise and fall, as if flying. This exquisite text allows for
interpretation on many levels and sparks imaginative imagery. A wonderful
teaching piece, it is also a superb choice for concert or festival. A Learning
Resource Page is included.

Eatnemen Vuelie (Song of the Earth)
Frode Fjellheim/arr. Emily Crocker.
The opening musical number from the Disney animated feature "Frozen," this
song is inspired by indigenous Saami and Norwegian culture, a combination of
Saami yoiking and the Danish Christmas hymn Dejlig er jorden, or Fairest Lord
Jesus, by B.S. Ingemann. Yoik is a very old vocal tradition among the Saami
people of Scandinavia and Russia, characterized by short melodic phrases
that repeat again and again, with small variations. With English, German and
Norwegian versions of the text, synthesizer, percussion and optional male yoik.
