Secular Concert All Voicings medium-advanced / Madrigals
n The Stars Stand up in the AirEric Barnum. For
the accomplished mixed choir, here is a masterful
expression of deep sadness for a lost love. Based
on a text by Irish poet Thomas MacDonaugh, the
work flows with nostalgic imagery and haunting
melody. "The stars stand up in the air, the sun and
moon are gone, the strand of its waters is bare, and
her sway is swept from the swan..."

H Sure on this Shining NightMorten Lauridsen.
"Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows
round, kindness must watch for me this side the
ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle
Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music
captures all of the beauty and wonder of James
Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices
(with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a
superb composition for better choirs!

H There Will Be RestFrank Ticheli. Sara
Teasdale's lyric poem looks to the stars for serenity
and promise, and this handsome setting is superbly
crafted by noted composer Frank Ticheli. Tasteful
harmonic suspensions and rich choral textures
bring this work to life with a delicate beauty
that perfectly expresses the spirit of the poem.
A superior choice for concert appearances with
more capable choirs.

H TundraCharles A. Silvestri & Ola Gjeilo. Majestic
scenes from Ola Gjeilo's native Norway inspired
Charles Silvestri's text for this contemporary
tone poem. The words and music are fused in a
poignant, lyrical way to convey the intense beauty
of the landscape. An excellent winter feature or
festival choice for mature women's choirs.

l Upon a Wheel of Cloud (Like Rain It Sounded)
J.D. Frizzell. A dazzling showpiece for mature
ensembles, this masterful work frames a classic
Emily Dickinson poem in a dramatic, rhythmically
driven setting. Upon a Wheel of Cloud begins
a cappella and develops into an intriguing,
captivating interplay of vocal lines and piano.

t Voice DanceGreg Jasperse. This is amazing!
A wordless vocal dance, celebrating the human
voice and the joy of singing together - this
goes beyond vocal jazz into the realm of sound
painting. Unlike most vocal jazz, the syllables
used are virtually all open vowel sounds, such as
Ba va da do way and Da dee ya dan do way. For
choirs at the medium-advanced level, this creates
a compelling vocal texture such as you've never
heard! Highly recommended!

lt WaterAnders Edenroth. This innovative
a cappella work by Anders Edenroth provides
a poetic and philosophical perspective on the
transparent matter so essential to the survival
of every living creature. This composition goes
beyond music, allowing singers and audiences to
reflect on a deep message. The use of tuned water
bottles provides both an interesting soundscape
and a visual reminder of the importance of water
to human life.
10593288 SATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45
Ht Water NightEric Whitacre. This emotive work
for divisi choir, based on a translation of a poem by
Octavio Paz, uses an advanced palette of harmonic
colors for a shimmering and mysterious effect. It
provides a stellar moment in your concert hall with
your more accomplished choir.

lt We Dance!Dominick DiOrio. This minute-
and-a-half work is joyous, enthusiastic and full of
expression. We Dance! is a whirlwind ride for any
chorus, full of agile rhythms, lots of words and great
positive emotions. A superb closer for better high
schools, collegiate and adult choirs!
10575208 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
Ht William Tell OvertureGioacchino Rossini/arr.
Eschliman. Rossini would be amazed by what Julie
Eschliman has done with his famous piece! It's hard
to keep a straight face while singing this hilarious
novelty arrangement for better choirs. Sung entirely
on syllables which imitate the sounds of the original
orchestral score, this is tongue-in-cheek humor at
its best! Awesome when performed a cappella,
but equally impressive with the optional piano
accompaniment, this will earn a standing ovation!
Very highly recommended!

n You Are the MusicDan Forrest. This lush,
award-winning SSAATB work with soprano solo
hauntingly sets Amy Lowell's "Listening" text in a
most engaging manner. The piano accompaniment
and French horn solo work in partnership with the
choral ensemble.

lt You Do Not Walk AloneDominick DiOrio. This
a cappella setting of a traditional Irish blessing uses
soft dissonances and free-flowing counterpoint to
speak of those who give support in times of trial.
The occasional divisi voicing creates a sonic wash
of color and overtones. "Together in song, we do
not walk alone."

Madrigals
Ht All Ye Who Music LoveBaldassare Donato/
Spevacek. Here's a stunning original work in
Madrigal style, this is light and airy, bright and
festive. Linda has taken a clever approach to the
famous Donato text, with lilting music and word
painting, which allows the choir to "warble" with
impunity! It's a fun introduction to Madrigals for
developing voices!

t
Alleluia MadrigalDonald Moore. Develop your
choir's a cappella skills with this straightforward
original madrigal that employs traditional
harmonies, modest ranges, and lots of repetition,
making it a quickly learned piece. An excellent
choice for beginning mixed groups, this also sings
very well in the SSA and TTBB voicings, and its
text options allow for performances throughout the
school year. Very nicely done!

t
Come, Let's BeginThomas Weelkes/arr. John
Leavitt. This sprightly, dance-like madrigal is a great
teaching piece! A delightful concert opener, it lends
itself well to a processional with voices, hand drum
and tambourine. At just under two minutes' duration,
it is short and very sweet! Highly recommended!

4t A Day of Joyful SingingDonald Moore. Here
is a superb easy original madrigal for developing
voices, with optional piano, optional baritone,
a happy text and plenty of "fa la la" passages.
Faithful to the madrigal style of the 16th and early
17th centuries, this has great educational and
performance value. Highly recommended!

lt Fair PhyllisJohn Farmer/arr. Emily John.
Perhaps the best-known madrigal by John Farmer,
Fair Phyllis has a light, buoyant quality appropriate
for women's voices. Highly imitative, with accessible
ranges, this will let your singers enjoy the whimsical
lyrics and the moments of text painting. "The
shepherds knew not whither she was gone ... when
he found her, oh, then they fell a-kissing...."

A Festive MadrigalWilliam Gooch/arr. Moore.
Developing three-part mixed and SSA choirs will
achieve their finest a cappella sound with this
light choral inspired by the tune Reuben, Reuben.
"Gather folk and all acquaintance, come and sing
the night away. Gather 'round and sing a chorus,
sing we now this festive day...Fa la la la la la la la..."

t Il Est Bel et BonPierre Passereau/arr. John
Leavitt. Now available for women's voices, this
popular French chanson relates the gossipy
conversation of a pair of French housewives as
they chatter about their husbands. Dance-like
phrases echo back and forth, along with colorful
wordplay and double meanings. English translation
is included.

t Je Le Vous DiraiPierre Certon/Porterfield.
This whimsical French chanson "gossips" about
a husband jealous of his beautiful wife. A new
English text is provided, but the original French text
is included as a performance option. Limited ranges
in all parts make for easy learning of this delightful
edition of Certon's 16th century gem!

Je Ne Fus Jamais Si AisePierre Certon/
arr. Jerry Estes. Pierre Certon's dancing and
lighthearted work is made more accessible for
younger voices with this fine arrangement. The
harmonic and textural elements remain true to the
original, preserving the frivolity of the piece. You
may choose to sing only the French text and end at
the optional fine, or extend the length and continue
singing using the English text. Add the flute and
percussion parts to create the perfect performance.
