Premiered at the 2008 ACDA Eastern Division Conference, this lively and playful arrangement of an American folk tune will be an excellent feature for young mixed choirs. The scat-like middle section adds to the fun. 10070876 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 H Dance on My Heart—Allen Koepke. This light- hearted contemporary-styled madrigal is a favorite with concert and festival choirs, and is on several state contest lists. 1826932 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Ht Ding-A Ding-A Ding—Greg Gilpin. This very cool original is a masterpiece of vocal layering, a "sound experience" for a cappella voices as bells. All voices sing together in the middle section before returning to vocalized bell effects. "Merrily on high, hear the bells ring. Merrily, the heavens sing. Merrily on high, hear the bells ring. O'er the earth, they ding dong ding." Now available for male choirs with optional accompaniment, this is appropriate for the holidays or any festive occasion throughout the year! Highly recommended! 10029457 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10029458 SSAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10029459 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10306019 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10066277 Two-Part or SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 H Dirait-On—Morten Lauridsen. This exquisite work is the fifth of a set of choral settings of poems by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled Les Chansons des Roses. With velvet choral lines and a pensive mood, it is a deeply expressive musical statement for more accomplished choirs. 1949080 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 3167434 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 H Dreams of Thee—Eric William Barnum. An expressive, lyrical work for SAB voices, optional solo, C instrument and piano, this has a text taken from "Lines to an Indian Air" by Percy Bysshe Shelley. A very lovely choral piece for serious middle-school or beginning high school choirs. 10008754 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 Ht 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 hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain... But music and singing have been my refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..." 10027720 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.70 e 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. 10519311 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10519310 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10519158 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 3298108 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 Elijah—Dan Davison. Dan Davison's gift for writing for developing voices is exemplified through this driving original based on the Biblical story of Elijah. The music is filled with articulations such as staccatos, tenutos, accents, and sforzandos, resulting in a lively and expressive performance. The baritone part is carefully crafted with alternate notes for developing voices, making it the perfect addition to your high school or middle school repertoire. 10445659 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45 H Erev Shel Shoshanim—Joseph Hadar/arr. Klebanow. Your choir will absolutely love this delicate Israeli folk song, with the open feeling of the desert at night while the scent of roses drifts on the cool air. Vocals weave in a sensitive arrangement, complemented by a fluid, but not difficult, piano accompaniment. Translation and pronunciation guide included. A strong choice for multicultural programs! 4958831 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 1925171 Performance CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.00 Ht Esto Les Digo—Kinley Lange. This a cappella setting of Matthew 18 in Spanish has attracted a lot of attention, and has already seen considerable festival activity. The English translation of the text is also shown: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there will I be also." 3294848 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.70 Ht Famine Song—arr. Matthew Culloton. This unique a cappella work captures the drama of the survival of the Sudanese people during the famine of the 1980s. "Ease my spirit, ease my soul, please free my hands from this barren soil. Ease my mother, ease my child, earth and sky be reconciled..." 3303263 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 He Festival Sanctus—John Leavitt. A long-time favorite on the festival circuit, this dynamic, exciting, joyous selection surpasses the ordinary! Syncopated rhythms and changing meters, combined with a sizzling piano part, make this a uniquely rewarding work. Very accessible for school and church choirs, it is a first-rate choice for any performance situation! Highly recommended! 1699032 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10047611 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10047612 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 1959857 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10047613 TTB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10047615 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 10047616 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . . . . . 40.00 He Firefly—Andy Beck. Excellent craftsmanship is apparent in this delightful tone painting as an accented vocal theme creates the image of flickering fireflies on a dark summer night. Carefully selected ranges and intervals, youthfully inquisitive lyrics, a delicate accompaniment and a whispered ending all add up to a very special concert feature for young choirs! Highly recommended! 10029937 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 H 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.

That's what your singers will feel like as they negotiate their way through this quickly-paced song with only solfege syllables for text! Full of fun and teaching opportunities, this creative original is the quintessential concert closer or encore piece. Your audience might ask you to sing it twice anyway! A total blast! 10370121 SAB or Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . 2.35 10028692 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 H Give Us Hope—Jim Papoulis/arr. Nunez.
