Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child
(Traditional Spiritual)
arr. Jay Althouse.
Adapted from Jay's popular American Folk Songs for Solo Singers, this
remarkable new choral arrangement works beautifully! The languid minor-key
melody is passed from soloist to choir and part to part, often accompanied
by mournful background vocals. Not difficult to perform, but appropriately
weighty, this is a very tasteful setting that will be one of your choir's favorites!
Highly recommended!

Song of the Loons (On Wings of Song)
arr. Lynn Shaw Bailey & Becki Slagle Mayo.
Felix Mendelssohn's famous art song On Wings of Song is the inspiration for
this wonderful original text by Lynn Shaw Bailey, which honors the unique
sound of the loon's call. Your developing treble voices will soar and sound
fantastic singing "Loo hoo" as they call to the birds and float on the undulating
melody. Highly recommended!

Speak the Truth in Love
Stephanie S. Taylor.
Totally singular, this African-flavored choral teaches an important life lesson.
Honesty and integrity are the heart of the text, and the use of Swahili makes
this an amazing multicultural opportunity. The call-and-response format invites
audience participation or even multigenerational opportunities.

Stars I Shall Find
Ruth Morris Gray.
This artful setting of the Sara Teasdale poem is a stunning choice for concert or
festival. A lyrical, flowing accompaniment supports the graceful, beautiful choral
sonorities, with the floating soprano notes representing the stars in the sky. It is
also an excellent programming choice for graduation.

Stars I Shall Find
Victor C. Johnson.
"There will be rest, and sure stars shining over the rooftops crowned with
snow, a reign of rest, serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and
low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's picturesque poem sparkles
with wonderful musical imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully crafted
accompaniment, contrasting dynamics, and warm, colorful harmonies create a
magical effect. This is an extraordinarily good choice for performances all year!
Highly recommended!

The Sky Is Low, the Clouds are Mean
Jay Althouse.
Emily Dickinson's poetic description of a dark and somber day seems to
say that, like all of us, nature too has bad days. The music rises and falls
wonderfully with the text in this expressive, dramatic a cappella setting.

The Skye Boat Song
arr. Darmon Meader.
This is superb! Darmon Meader's incomparable arranging skill is evident in
every measure of this gorgeous setting of the traditional Scottish folk song.
Lovely, lyrical piano writing and lush harmonic colors in the voices distinguish
this as one of the very best folk song arrangements available for mixed voices.
Highly recommended!

So Danco Samba (Jazz 'n' Samba)
Antonio Carlos Jobim/arr. Roger Emerson.
Here is the perfect way to introduce your young singers to the Brazilian jazz
samba, or bossa nova. Just enough repetition, some simple scat singing, and
English subtext are a recipe for success. There's even a jazz tenor sax on the
recorded accompaniment track, a tip of the hat to the great Stan Getz, who
started the bossa nova craze in the US back in 1964. This is a great teaching
piece, too, with a full page of performance notes, including translation and
pronunciation guide.

A Social Madrigal
Nathan Howe.
In this clever madrigal novelty, 16th-century harmony meets 21st-century
technology! It sings the story of a couple falling in love, with some help from
Google, Facebook, and Twitter. Performed a cappella or with optional piano,
it is simply delightful in the way the words of today are sung as though by
singers in Shakespeare's time. Optional narration is provided to add to the fun!
Highly recommended!
