two scriptures from the books of Ruth and the gospel
of John, Craig Courtney has fashioned a compelling

equally penetrating sacred concert work for military
tributes or memorial services.

Rollo Dilworth. This freedom song was sung as an
anthem of protest during the civil rights movement

perseverance. The composer has combined it with
original music, to the words of the Langston Hughes
poem Words Like Freedom, to create a wonderful
showcase for treble voices.

4 All My Trialsarr. Gwyneth Walker. A very
poignant song. Phrases such as "Hush little baby,
don't you cry, you know your mama was born to
die," or "Oh my brothers, I must leave you here
behind," view the approach of death in terms of
those left behind. The accompaniment of repeated
eighth-note chords is marked as if trembling or
sobbing. Although the harmonic language is tonal
and consonant almost entirely throughout the song,
a few dissonances appear near the end, reflecting
the pain of parting.

4 All My Trialsarr. Ruth Elaine Schram. "If religion
was a thing that money could buy, the rich would
live, and the poor would die..." Now available for

watchin' over me, my Lord." This superb a cappella

the upper voices, while contoured dynamics add
interest. The optional shaker and conga parts are a
great addition! Highly recommended!

At the Riverarr. Victor Johnson. From the
always-creative pen of Victor Johnson comes this
stunning new setting of Robert Lowry's well-loved
text. Sweeping melodic gestures, rich harmonic
moments, and a lush keyboard accompaniment
make this a song your choir will want to sing
again and again. The a cappella appearance
of the hymn tune
HANSON PLACE is a masterful
touch. Equally effective for church or school
settings. Highly recommended!
