l Ave MariaSergei Rachmaninov/arr. Brian Beck.
This moving piece embodies all of the simplicity of
Russian Orthodox music and displays the sweeping
beauty of Rachmaninov's lyricism. The moving
music provides the opportunity to teach extended
phrases and legato style that highlight this powerful
work. During an all-night vigil, the Ave Maria would
be sung at midnight, hence 12 chime notes are
sounded at the apex of the piece, which can be
doubled off-stage for special effect.

Black Is the ColorRobert Sheldon. The
traditional folksong used as the basis of this setting
was first known in the Appalachian Mountains of
