4 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!

4e 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.

4t A Social Madrigal—Nathan Howe. In this
e 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!

4e 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!

4t Soon I Will Be Done—arr. Stacey V. Gibbs.
Premiered at the ACDA National Convention
2015, this piece marks the first double choir
arrangement for a spiritual. In a few short years
Stacy Gibbs has earned the reputation as the
most sought-after arranger of spirituals in the
U.S. Stacey's writing is always a pleasure to
sing but this one is special, with the antiphonal
choirs playing off one another and wailing sounds
building a climactic finish. The arrangement is
superb and well worth the time. Your audiences
will love it!

4 Soulspeak—Z. Randall Stroope. Esteemed
composer Z. Randall Stroope realizes the
profound, soul-searching words of Tennyson's
"Ulysses" in a grand and expansive setting.
Premiered in Carnegie Hall, Soulspeak is an
absolutely stunning program closer that is well
within the grasp of most high school, college, and
professional ensembles.

4 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.

4 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.

e 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!

4t Sweetest Love—Matthew Emery. This beautiful
text by Metaphysical poet John Donne brings
a poignant message that as long as you keep
what is most loved in your heart, you are never
truly parted. This lovely idea is held together
by a common melody sung by the sopranos,
which transforms through various key changes,
symbolizing life's always changing pulse.

4 Teach Me with a Song—Sue McTigue. This
original piece is truly inspired! A heartfelt musical
testament to children with special needs, it is
so singable, so genuine, that it will be a deeply
moving experience for your choir and audience.
"Teach me with a song, and let me sing along.
I want to hear the world sound amazing! Let
melody and harmony last my whole life long, and
teach me with a song..." Highly recommended!

e There is Peace—Jim Papoulis. The essence
of this work, in a world of conflict and violence,
is the need for a deep understanding that peace
can come from all of us. After the opening phrase,
"Look in the eyes of the children, feel the touch of
their hands, there is peace," the verse enters, with
a full, yet still gentle sound. The refrain is more
celebratory, followed by a quiet bridge and an
ending which is calm and introspective, much like
the opening.

lovely from beginning to end, featuring expert
part-writing from composer Mark Burrows. With
a text filled with anticipation of the Savior's
coming, this piece grows from a subtle opening
to a stunning high point on the aptly fitting word
"harmony." Don't miss this moving piece.

Victor C. Johnson. Images of courage, honor and
bravery abound in this moving and valiant setting
of selected lines from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's
Ulysses. A powerful accompaniment supports the
solid, artful choral writing. This poignant work is a
welcome addition to men's choral repertoire and
is especially ideal for festival choirs.

4t Three A Cappella Latin Settings—Jerry Estes.
Developing choirs will be motivated and engaged

In Terra Pax is followed by a vibrant and rhythmic

set, at Christmas, or in a general concert setting

ful teaching piece has many valuable uses.
A Learning Resource Page is included.
