DesJardins. With the piano and violin setting the mood prior to the voices entering, the first line of text joins with the flowing accompaniment to take the listener on a journey through the wonder of creation that surrounds us. Written for more advanced two-part treble or SA choirs, the subtle harmonic surprises in the vocal lines and accompaniment reflect a touch of the unexpected along this journey. 10679795 Two-Part opt.

An excellent festival showcase! 10606371 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 Serve the Lord with GladnessRollo Dilworth. Drawing its text from Psalm 100 and incorporating the Doxology, this package of gospel energy will lift your music program to a new level of choral praise.

This bright, festive work opens with an upbeat A section, full of fun syncopations and interesting meter changes, then moves into a lyrical, flowing B section and finally returns to a variation of the opening material.

Highly recommended! 10518362 Two-Part or SA . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10518363 Teaching P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . 22.99 Ht Sing Me to HeavenDaniel Gawthrop. This sensitive work for SATB choir is so beautifully ethereal it will take your breath away. "If you would comfort me, sing me a lullaby. If you would win my heart, sing me a love song." Expansive while staying within the framework of four-part harmony, it is a conductor's choice for larger choral festivals and a superb feature for chamber vocal ensembles. 1778844 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 3302085 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 3057700 TTBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 l Sing of Thy MerciesRollo Dilworth.

Highly recommended! 10752377 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752378 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752379 TBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 l The Gift Of Each DayJohn Rutter. John Rutter sets an original text to sublime music that harkens back to his Lord, Make Me An Instrument. With a focus on light, thanks and creation Rutter intersperses phrases of Latin text and followed immediately by their English translation. The vocal lines are often in unison with minimal SATB writing and the ranges are very reasonable. A song of thanksgiving that will be a joy to sing and hear. 10669841 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.80 Three Contemporary Latin SettingsJerry Estes. This special set of three short pieces is great for captivating and motivating developing choirs; it is now available for SATB choirs as well. The easy, repeated Latin phrases come to life with fresh musical ideas. The Kyrie, with its staccato versus legato singing, contrasts with the simple, melodic ballad feel of the Adoramus Te, which in turn is contrasted with the celebratory style and energy of the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. For school or church, sung independently or as a set, for holiday use or at any time of year, this is a powerhouse for teaching and performing!

Unison vocal textures on winsome melodies predominate in this inspirational setting of three Shaker tunes: O Brethren, Ain't Ye Happy?; Love Is Little and Simple Gifts. A lively, lilting piano accompaniment adds momentum throughout as all parts enter, calling to mind the exuberance of Shaker services. 10684291 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 n Travelin' Homearr.

Jubilate Deo II. Ubi Caritas)Mark Patterson. Here are two contrasting festival pieces that work equally well individually or as a set. Jubilate Deo features vocal pyramids in a strong, fanfare opening, followed by a lighter, syncopated section before returning to the opening idea. Ubi Caritas has a calm, almost mesmerizing texture. Perform these pieces a cappella, or with the optional festival-style piano accompaniment. 10735223 TTB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 l Ubi CaritasRichard A. Williamson.

Lovely harmonic moments throughout with opportunities to explore tone and phrasing with younger singers. Translation and pronunciation guide are included. 10737135 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 n Ubi CaritasVictor C. Johnson. A beautiful, tender setting of the traditional Latin text that features delicate melodic lines and a fluid accompaniment. The contrasting middle section provides interest and movement, and the echoed phrases, independent vocal lines, and limited ranges allow for it to be easily mastered for concert or festival. A pronunciation guide and translation are included. 10512921 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10512922 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10512923 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 l We Sing AlleluiaTom Shelton. This piece for treble voices begins with a simple, chanted "Alleluia" and then blossoms. The original text revels in the beauty of nature and the connection between people. A perfect piece for festivals, school, or church. Instrumental parts for flute, violin, and tone chimes are available. 10663265 SSAA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 Ht Wondrous Lovearr.
