l When We SingAmy F. Bernon. Possessing a text
inspired by students, this energetic and enthusiastic
original explores all of the wonderful things we feel
when we are part of a choir: "When we sing, we
feel joy, we feel pride, we feel alive!" The positive
and inclusive message of this piece aims to create
bonds between singers and within schools and
communities. Especially effective as a general
concert or festival opener, it would also be a great
choice for graduation and spring performances.

l Wide Open SpacesSarah Quartel. Commissioned
for the 2015 National Conference of the American
Choral Directors Association, Wide Open Spaces
reflects on the journeys and adventures to be found
in the wide open spaces within ourselves and in
the world around us. The uplifting melody is passed
from the upper voices to the lower voices before
the piece opens out into an expansive texture with
rich harmonies. A playful episode of scat singing is
introduced before a resolute final chorus brings this
evocative piece to a peaceful and serene close.

Will You Teach Me?Victor C. Johnson.
A poignant, inspiring anonymous text is perfectly
wedded to the music in this beguiling setting.
This is a piece that your students will hold dear to
their hearts as they sing their very best. "Will you
teach me how to dream, to face the future sight
unseen? ... Will you teach me how to soar, to see
things never seen before? But most importantly of
all, will you teach me how to be the only thing I
can be... Me?" An optional oboe part is included
in the octavo, to give the gently flowing music even
greater emotional depth. Highly recommended!

Windy NightsCynthia Gray. A dramatic poem
by Robert Louis Stevenson is the inspiration for this
intense, exhilarating work, which portrays the poet's
childhood fear of storms. The music aptly captures
the sound and excitement of a stormy, windy night,
which the text likens to a riding horseman and the
pounding of his horse's hooves. Excellent editorial
notes provide fascinating background about this
poem and its famous author. This is wonderful
poetry and music for developing choirs!

l The World in My DreamRuth Elaine Schram.
Can you imagine a world without music? This
sincere and inspirational original encourages all
who hear it to fill the void with their own unique
song, and thus fill the world with music. "What a
wonderful place, filled with beauty and grace; the
world in my dream!"

A longtime staple of the choral repertoire in the
Ferguson setting, the traditional Shaker song is now

cappella and building to a powerful ending, it's an
exciting concert opener. There is some divisi in the
final refrain as the "Sing on, dance on..." theme
grows to a delirious climax!

You Are My MusicLaura Farnell. "You are the
earth, you are my sky..." Two beautiful poems,
by Sara Teasdale and Zoe Akins, are lovingly
interwoven for the text of this lyrical, expressive
setting. Rubato phrases ebb and flow over a
romantic, arpeggiated accompaniment in this
superb concert showcase for young and developing
women's choirs! Highly recommended!

original work, the words, which simulate a tribal
language, give it a world-music feeling. In fact,

you feel as though you are taking part in a tribal
ritual. A compelling work that has become popular
in festivals and regional choral activities. Now
