Secular Concert All Voicings medium
4t The Arrow and the SongRichard Waters. There
is some divisi in this lovely setting of the beloved
Longfellow poem, but it is well within the abilities of
many high school a cappella choirs. With beautiful
harmonies and accessible ranges, it will be a
rewarding experience in concert! "I shot an arrow
into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where..."

4 As the Rain Hides the StarsElaine Hagenberg.
"As the rain hides the stars, as the autumn mist hides
the hills..." Here is an exquisite setting of a traditional
Gaelic prayer that will bring out all the ethereal beauty
of your treble choir. As the clouds finally part, the sun
shines clearly for the first time. "Yet, if I may hold your
hand in the darkness, it is enough."

n Ballade to the MoonDaniel Elder. "...Come
sing with me! The twinkling sky casts forth its tune:
O must I leave thy charms so soon? I weep with joy
beneath the moon." Marked Adagio Misterioso, this

important contribution to the choral repertoire.

l BarterMark Sirett. Barter was composed for
the Association for Music in International Schools
Honors Choir Festival in Luxembourg, 2016. It is
based on the text from the poem of the same name
by American poet Sara Teasdale. In the poem,
Teasdale promotes the appreciation of loveliness
and beauty, such as music and nature, as an
intrinsic part of life. "Life has loveliness to sell, all
beautiful and splendid things."

4 Bird of HopeKevin Nicoletti. Ella Wheeler
Wilcox's poem suggests that the bird of hope not
soar too high or sing too loud. Taking heed, the
composer created much downward movement
in the piano accompaniment, while allowing
the singers to take some risks, both high and
somewhat loud. This charming piece offers great
melodic interest in the vocal lines. Exquisite in text
and music, it is a work of depth and great rewards
for better women's choirs at the high school or
collegiate level. Highly recommended!

H BirdsongPaul Read. This touching work is
inspired by a poem written by an unknown child in
the Terezin Concentration Camp in Czechoslovakia
during World War II. The poem's positive, uplifting
message about the beauty of life is all the more
striking when placed against the backdrop of war
and the loss of personal freedom. A strong choice
for concert, contest or festival!

their kisses like waves exchanging foam..."

n Break of DayMichael John Trotta. Now
available for mixed, treble, or male choirs, this
original work contains lyric, legato vocal lines
which unfold to reveal a subtle interplay between
voices, interwoven with piano and an optional
obbligato line. The text, an account of two lovers
faced with parting, concludes with the yearning
refrain, "Stay, or else my joys will die," which gives
voice to the dichotomy of the feelings of joy and
pain associated with closeness and separation
from a loved one.

n Cloths of HeavenZ. Randall Stroope. The text is
by William Butler Yeats, an Irish poet. In this setting
the music compliments the words by following the
natural rhythm of the text. Rich in symbolic imagery,
"Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths, Enwrought
with gold and silver light, I'd spread the gold and
silver cloths under your feet: Tread softly, you tread
on my dreams." This piece is on many state and
regional contest lists.

ding dong ding." Now available for male choirs with

school or high school choirs. With an independent

Ht Earth SongFrank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting
of an original text is filled with striking dynamic
contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy
hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries
out in vain... But music and singing have been my
refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

4 EchoTom Shelton. This setting of the Christina
Rossetti poem is a wonderful teaching piece! The
melodic line in the opening section evokes feelings
of beauty, loss and remembrance; the middle
section paints a picture of grief, reality, and the
feeling of life spinning out of control. After the
climax of the middle section, there is a return to a
sense of calm, symbolizing that as time passes, we
are able to come to terms with loss.

singers and listeners!
