Secular Concert All Voicings medium-advanced
4 Ban, Ban, CalibanDan Forrest. Loaded with
excitement, this setting taken from Shakespeare's
famous "The Tempest" will have audiences both
entertained and amazed. A great concert closer,
the rousing piano accompaniment is joined by a
unique percussion ensemble (cabasa, vibraslap,
guiro, ratchet, triangle, and would you believe,
police whistle). Treble choirs rarely get to have this
much fun.

t DawnRobert Bode & Eric William Barnum. Dawn
is a musical meditation on the coming light-filled day
and all the possibilities that it possesses. "From the
door's soft opening and the day's first sigh, filling the
room, I see before me a life of doors, one opening
on another..." The final moments of this remarkable
a cappella work are like clouds of color forming and
disappearing, ending in a tranquil silence.

4 Fresh and FearlessDaniel Elder. A poem by
Sara Teasdale is the inspiration for this light, airy
work. It appropriately conveys the springtime theme
of the text, with a driving piano part that evokes the
energy and wonder of new beginnings. "The spring
is fresh and fearless and every leaf is new, the
world is brimmed with moonlight, the lilac brimmed
with dew..."

n Gretchen am SpinnradeFranz Schubert/arr.
D. Jason Bishop. In this, one of Schubert's first
and most successful art songs, Gretchen reflects
on her sudden infatuation with Faust. The piano
accompaniment, with its relentless sixteenth
notes in the right hand, depicts both Gretchen's
accumulating madness and the perpetual motion
of the spinning wheel. A pronunciation/translation
guide is provided for the German text.

4t Harvest (The Moon Shines Down)Jacob
Narverud. Absolutely beautiful, this a cappella
original was inspired by the colors and nostalgia of
the Kansas prairie in autumn. Lonely, empty spaces
in the fading landscape evoke conflicting feelings
of wistfulness and peace - a time to reflect on our
present surroundings and the deeper meaning of
life itself. For a fall concert or any time of year, this
is stunning. Highly recommended!

t I Am Not YoursZ. Randall Stroope. Sara
Teasdale's immortal poem is treated lovingly in

marvelous work which will be in great demand by
mixed choirs everywhere!

n The Lake IsleOla Gjeilo. This refreshing work
employs a folk-like sound to capture W.B. Yeats'
wonderfully descriptive words from The Lake
Isle of Innisfree. The movement in the piano, the
strumming of the guitar, and the richness of the
strings work together with the voices to create the
imagery of a long and pleasant journey.

n Little Man in a Hurry (No. 5 from "The City
and the Sea")Eric Whitacre. Full of colorful
contrasts, this final movement from "The City and
the Sea" dances with fun and humor! The rhythmic
wordplay and deconstructed syllables of the e.e.
cummings poem hurdle ever faster to the final
sudden "stop" for an extraordinary concert finale.

H Make Our Garden GrowLeonard Bernstein/

H The PastureZ. Randall Stroope. Robert Frost's
elegant poetry harkens to a simpler time and Randall
Stroope's choral setting is both lush and expressive.
Clear vocal lines and rich harmonies sing beautifully
over a supportive accompaniment, while the meter
changes at the slower tempo give the work a
freedom in line and motion. Masterfully done.

l A Prairie SunsetCecil Effinger. Now available
in a new edition, this classic setting of a text by
Walt Whitman was originally published in 1964.

the glorious beauty of a sunset. "...Pure luminous
color fighting the silent shadows to the last."

dream. Stunning!

n Song to the Moon (La Luna)Z. Randall Stroope.
This is vintage, expressive writing for the upper-level
choir. Scored for voices, flute, oboe and piano, it is
laced with the haunting, mysterious wonder of the
moon. The text is freely paraphrased from the work
of Czech poet Jaroslov Kvapil. "La Luna, your light
sees through endless time. Tell, o tell me where my
love lies. O moon, e'er you pass, wake my dreaming
lover. I am waiting, I am calling..."

H Stars I Shall FindDavid Dickau. Stars I Shall
Find is about the hope one has in that which is
desired, yet not immediately attainable. Sara
Teasdale's poem depicts stars as beacons of hope
and aspiration. Dickau's lush, romantic rendering
celebrates those hopes and dreams which inspire
and motivate. The accompaniment is in partnership
with the choir through this beautiful piece.
