Jazzille as they re-create the sounds of a rainstorm
solely with body percussion. This accessible

The Battle Hymn of the Republic—
arr. Peter Wilhousky. The Wilhousky setting of
this 19th century hymn is possibly the most heartfelt
musical pronouncement of American patriotism.
Divisi sections in all parts are accessible and still
richly expressive with harmonic colors and sweeping
dynamic contrasts. Emotional and highly effective, it
is a truly magnificent setting that may be performed
with band or orchestral accompaniment. It's also the
one chosen most often by U.S. military ensembles.

Bonse Aba (Traditional Zambian Song)—
arr. Andrew Fischer. Here is an exuberant
a cappella number that's loaded with African
atmosphere! The traditional Zambian words are
sung throughout, with such a buoyant rhythmic
feel that you are transported into the center of a
native celebration. "Bonse Aba" translates as "All
that sing have the right to be called the children of
God." The song is brief, but may be repeated as
many times as desired. Various voicing options are
possible, and African percussion may be added as
the piece progresses. Your choir will definitely want
to improvise some celebratory whoops and shouts!
Highly recommended!

Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting
of an original text is filled with striking dynamic
contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy

out in vain... But music and singing have been my
refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter.
John Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing
accompaniment is equally beautiful in either the SATB
or SA treatment. If you haven't already, consider the
instrumental accompaniment for a fresh perspective
on this sacred gem. Scored for strings, winds, harp
(playable on keyboard), and drums, it includes
instrumental lines that are as lovely as the vocal lines.
A perennial favorite, this is a tasteful blend of text and
musical expression. Vintage John Rutter.
