lt Patapanarr. David Conte. This charming
a cappella setting of the familiar carol has a bright,
rhythmic ostinato pattern that moves between the
sections of the choir. The Christmas story is told
from the perspective of shepherds playing simple
instruments - flutes and drums - the onomatopoetic
sound of which gives the carol its name. "Pat-a-
pan" is meant to mimic the sound of the drum, and
an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu," the flute.

Go Where I Send Thee—arr. Paul Caldwell & Sean Ivory. If you have
a very talented choir looking for a challenge, this is an absolutely "must do"
spiritual! Written for either SSA or SATB, both the piano accompaniment and
vocal parts are in the authentic African-American folk tradition. The use of the
many variants of the text allows the music to maximize the use of gospel-style
modulations and to give the singers significant one-line reminders of some of the
biblical stories on which the African-American musical tradition is based.
