lt Praise Be to the LordOdd Johan Overoye.
Light and celebratory, this joyous anthem for
double a cappella choir uses rhythmic, ostinato-
like vocal lines to support the melodic theme.
A sustained middle section provides contrast,
capturing the majesty and mystery of God. Time
signature changes and interesting harmonic
writing make this a good challenge for more
advanced choirs.

t Sacred Heart (Ubi Caritas III)Ola Gjeilo. Ola
Gjeilo's three-work set of Ubi Caritas settings is now
complete with Sacred Heart. Musically independent
from the other two works, Sacred Heart can stand
alone or be performed with the set. A lovely string
quartet accompaniment (including full score)
balances with the choir, making this a stunning and
peaceful adaptation of such a thoughtful text.

t Sainte-ChapelleEric Whitacre. Eric Whitacre's
Sainte-Chapelle, inspired by the medieval Parisian
chapel, was written for the Tallis Scholars. It
depicts that stained glass masterpiece through
sustained plainchant-like lines which gradually
divide into more and more parts, creating
shimmering tone clusters for a rich and expressive
outpouring of sound.

t Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)Ola Gjeilo.
For a cappella mixed voices with violin or cello (parts
included), this soundscape on the traditional O
Magnum Mysterium text has long phrases that seem
to suspend the listener in space. A full six minutes in
duration, it is a stunningly beautiful contribution to the
repertoire for medium-advanced choirs!

solo and a passage for semi-chorus or vocal trio.
With both secular and sacred texts, this is a tour
de force for festivals or accomplished choirs and a
totally unforgettable musical experience!

Anthony Bernarducci. This is a great a cappella
piece! Easy-to-feel mixed meters, djembe, and
very effective drone chords create a medieval
feeling. When the chant-like section occurs, the
effect is absolutely stunning. This has tremendous
educational value, offering many teaching moments
and a memorable performance experience for
everyone involved! Highly recommended!

Wagner. A tender text, a sweet melody, and warm
harmonies come together in this gentle lullaby for
SSA choirs. The tessitura is well chosen, allowing
your girls to sing in the sweet spot of their voices.
Fun fact: long before it was considered a Scottish
folk song, this beautiful tune originated as the street
cry of a candy peddler.

dancing leaves and blustery October days. Easily-

poem in a lyric song style. The musical painting of

4 Be With MeJim Papoulis. Today's society
seems to often encourage children to perform
tasks earlier and better, over-schedule life sooner
and grow up faster. Be With Me embraces the years
of a child's life before becoming an adult. It also
reminds us that a child's time with us is precious
and passes all too quickly. "Be with me in morning
sun, be with me when evening comes, be with me
my precious one, before you go away."

piano accompaniment and optional violin, the
new SATB and SAB voicings also contain a short
narrative at the beginning and the end focusing on
Mother Teresa. This is an extremely moving work
for choirs at all levels!

musical package that bustles through changing
rhythms with a "jingling" piano accompaniment.
Up-tempo, with layered vocal ostinati and a joyful
urgency, this is a wonderfully energetic work
that is bright and crisp as a winter morning. The
addition of sleigh bells give added flexibility to
this work that is an expressive musical delight for
midwinter concerts.

this place a better world."
