n JabberwockyDavid L. Brunner. Lewis Carroll's
playful language, vividly describing the Jabberwock,
is the inspiration for this clever, lighthearted setting.

bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jubjub bird,
and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!" Whispered

lighthearted work is made more accessible for

Johnny Said No!Vijay Singh. This folk song-
style original tells the story of young Johnny, who

A Jubilant SongSally K. Albrecht. Here is a
singable a cappella work for middle or high school
treble or male choirs that features very effective

n Lake Isle of Innisfree, TheDavid Brunner.
This idyllic piece, with text by William Butler Yeats,
highlights the various sounds that evoke Yeats's
memories of Innisfree, a lake in County Sligo that

phrases and rhythms of this engaging work for high
school SAB choirs.

n Let Beauty Awake!Laura Farnell. Robert Louis
Stevenson's poetry and Laura Farnell's music are
perfectly wedded in this exceptional work for concert
or festival choirs. There is some mixed meter, but
it is so supportive of the natural rhythm of the text
that the result is exhilarating. A dynamic work, full of
wonderful contrasts, this is an outstanding choice for
women's voices! Highly recommended!

Kirkendall. This song from the motion picture
"Rigoletto" has a thought-provoking text that makes
it appropriate for general concert performances. "I
love the part in fairy tales that's very near the end,

Lightning!Greg Gilpin. "Electric fingers
reaching, reaching, skipping, darting, fleeting,
tapping on the clouds..." The vivid imagery and
word painting in this creative original are further
sparked by dynamic contrasts, rhythmic interplay
between parts, and the agitated, eerie atmosphere
of the piano accompaniment. Set in minor

unexpected twists and turns, it really sounds like a
musical lightning storm!

a change on the horizon, there's a change that's

Pulsing rhythms are accentuated by the optional
drum parts included in the publication (congas,
medium drum, large drum). Fresh, different and
memorable, this will engage your students as they
embrace an optimistic perspective on the future.

t LineageAndrea Ramsey. Margaret Walker's
text leaps off the musical page as words crying
to be sung. "My grandmothers were strong. They
followed plows and bent to toil." This was not frailty
- this was determined womanhood and is reflected
in the bluesy organic framework of the piece.
10519323 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25
n Love Is a Rain of DiamondsGwyneth W.
Walker. Composer Gwyneth Walker has crafted
this beautiful piece where interplay between a
sparkling piano part and playful vocal lines mirrors
poet May Swenson's comparison between love and
a cascade of diamonds. A stunning work!

n Magical KingdomJohn Rutter. A wonderfully
imaginative text is perfectly wedded to a lyrical
tune in this highly rewarding original for two-
part voices. The colorful piano accompaniment
contributes its own special character throughout,
helping to create a feeling of mystery and wonder.
"Everyone has their own magical kingdom, high on
a hilltop and touching the sky; somewhere you go
when you wish on a rainbow, somewhere you can
fly... keep on believing, just keep believing in once
upon a time... the land of dreams come true." Your
students will embrace this magical song as their
very own, and will sing their hearts out whenever
they perform it! Highly recommended!

l The MagpieRuth Elaine Schram. "Look out for
the magpie!" is the theme of this clever original
setting of a British poem. Reminiscent of a folk
song, it is set in a minor key to give the music a
mock seriousness, while the whimsical text is a
delightful contrast.

t Manly Men (Men's Chorus Extravaganza)
Kurt Knecht. Hilarious! Here is your chance to
show off the personality of your men's group with
style! Familiar melodies, such as Verdi's La Donna e
Mobile and the Toreador song from "Carmen," are
given new words to fit the egos of each different
voice part. From the arrogant Tenors who sing
louder when the pitch gets sour, to the Bassos
who will revolt if asked to sing another "dip-dip-
dip-dip-dah," this is a comic men's feature that will
positively bring down the house! Don't miss it!

n Marienwurmchen (Ladybug)Johannes
Brahms/ed. Goetze. This arrangement for unison
voices by Mary Goetze of this Johannes Brahms folk
song setting is an excellent way to introduce your
young choir to singing in German! A very detailed
pronunciation guide is included, as is an alternate
English text. Delightful!

4 Matona Mia CaraOrlando di Lasso/arr. Patrick
Liebergen. Orlando di Lasso's tuneful villanelle is
set here for TBB voices, with Italian text and English
subtext. Carefully edited, it is shorter in duration
than the original SATB score and includes an
optional piano accompaniment. Written in a style
that is rustic and light, with energized syllables
of "dire, dire, don, don, don," this is an excellent
feature for developing male voices!

The Mermaid's LamentJoseph Martin & John
Parker. A tale of the sea and unrequited love is
artfully set here for SSA voices. This original poem
is a bittersweet cry of the heart and is supported
by an impressionistic piano accompaniment.
The Mermaid's Lament offers great expressive
opportunities for your singers, from clear unison
singing to sweeping three-part textures.

l A Merry AutumnPatti Drennan. Delightfully
delicate, A Merry Autumn should be sung in a
lilting meter of two. The text by Paul Laurence
Dunbar reminds us of the beauty of the fall season
with its kaleidoscope of colors. Suitable for festival,
concert and contest, this offers many opportunities
to teach tone, crisp diction, pure vowels, and a full
range of dynamics.

lt Minuet (from "Notebook for Anna Magdalena
Bach")J.S. Bach/arr. Alan Billingsley. Bring a
piano masterwork to the choral classroom! Bach's
brilliant Minuet in G Major sings beautifully. Precise
vocables embody the elegant dance, while the
well-placed vocal ranges encourage healthy tone.
Perform it a cappella, or use the optional piano part
for support.

4 The Moon and the WindPatti Drennan. These
musical settings of two Robert Louis Stevenson
poems from A Child's Garden of Verses paint a
picture of the imaginative life of a child. In The
Moon, the accompaniment provides a magical
feeling as the moon looks down on all the creatures
of the night. In The Wind, contrasts between major
and minor create a tone painting. Wonderful for
teaching text stress and lyricism, this set of two may
be performed together or individually. The optional
flute part adds much to the overall effect, which is
very charming!

n Music in YouJ. Paul Williams & Joseph Martin.
"I've heard the song of the nightingale. I've heard the
wolf cry at the moon..." A picturesque text is set to
tender music in this singable ballad that affirms the
song within us all. "If the whole world has its tune,
then I know it must be true: there must be music in
you." A lyrical gem for concerts and festivals!

n Music, Lead the Way!Laura Farnell. Laura
Farnell has drawn her inspiration for this gospel-
style composition from the work of the late Dr.
Martin Luther King Jr. and others like him, who
worked to break down the barriers of racial and
social discrimination. A gripping Henry Van Dyke
text delivers the powerful message: when we
choose love and sing together in community, surely
"peace and love will conquer hate and strife."
