Omnia - "love conquers all" - is a poignant, lush and

melodies, the lush harmonies found throughout

Educational opportunities abound, especially in
the area tuning and phrasing. A great choice for a
concert at any time of the year!

And This Shall Be for MusicVictor C. Johnson.
This warm choral setting is so beautifully melodic
and expressive, it could be precisely the way Robert
Louis Stevenson imagined his famous "I will make
you brooches" poem. This is very sweet, singable,
and musically worthy of the exquisite words. "And
this shall be for music when no one else is near,
the fine song for singing, the rare song to hear..."
Highly recommended!

And This Shall Be for MusicMary Lynn
Lightfoot. "And this shall be for music, when no one
else is near, such a fine song for singing, the rare
song to hear!" And such a fine song this is, through
the marriage of memorable music to Robert Louis
Stevenson's artful text. Extremely expressive,
complemented by luscious harmonies and a rich
accompaniment, this lovely work will showcase
choirs of all ages. Highly recommended!

H Banquet FugueJohn Rutter. Beginning
with the lyric, "Guzzle, guzzle, guzzle, munch,
munch, gobble, gobble, chomp, pass the salt and
pepper...," you can immediately see the possibilities
for a delightful, tongue-in-cheek fugue! Recorded
by The King's Singers on the sound track recording
of John Rutter's operetta "The Reluctant Dragon,"
this is a most enjoyable selection which ends,
unfortunately, as do many good banquets-with an
audible expression of contentment.

n BarterRene Clausen. "Life has loveliness to
sell, all beautiful and splendid things, blue waves
whitened on a cliff, soaring fire that sways and
sings...Spend all you have for loveliness, buy it and
never count the cost..." Sara Teasdale's wonderful
poem Barter is the inspiration for this gently flowing,
expressive musical setting. Simply beautiful, the
music does justice to the text with sensitivity and
exquisite taste!

H The Beautiful RainJanet Gardner. Teach
your young singers about musical imagery as the
playful music, text and light percussion effects
imitate the sound of falling rain. The words are by
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: "How beautiful is
the rain! After the dust and heat, in the broad and
fiery street, in the narrow lane. How beautiful is the
rain!" The "drip-drop" piano part sets the scene for
"drip-drop" vocal rain, while rainstick, drum, wood
block and triangle complete the picture. This is
simply delightful!

The Beauty of the NightLaura Farnell. This
lovely work for SSA voices expressively depicts the
beauty of the evening sky as it deepens from the
crimson twilight until the silver threads of moonlight
stream down to the earth below. An inspired
selection for treble honor choirs and contest/festival
performances. Extraordinary!

4 Become YourselfVicki Tucker Courtney. This
arrangement, from Vicki Tucker Courtney's solo
of the same title, is set in a contemporary ballad
style. The feel-good, empowering text expresses
the hope that each person will recognize their own
special and unique talents.

lt BenedictionJohn Conahan. Lush harmonies in
a warm choral texture lay the foundation for this
elegantly succinct setting of the traditional Irish
blessing. A cappella, with a few lyric alterations to
provide an enveloping framework for the listener
and offer hope for the future, this setting is ideal for
graduation, concert or worship settings. "May the
road rise up to meet you, may the wind be always
at your back... until we meet again."

l Brothers in SongLon Beery. "There is power
in our singing, like a mighty army strong. We
stand together proudly, we are brothers in song."
Carefully chosen vocal ranges and sensible part-
writing ensure success for boys in any stage of the
changing voice. Tenor I is written for unchanged
voices, tenor II for changing voices, and baritone for
changed voices, making this an ideal concert work
for any developing men's choir.

l But a Flint Holds FireAndrea Ramsey. This
socially conscience work merges a Christina
Rossetti text with words from choir students and the
community in Flint, Michigan. Spoken sections with
underscoring alternate with unison and two part
singing creating a rather dramatic work. This can
be a vehicle for you and your students to positively
affect this tragedy as half of the profits from the
sale will go directly to FlintRising's and there is an
opportunity for the audience to contribute also using
a QR code.

4 Call Me FriendRuth Morris Gray. "I can live
my life on earth contented to the end, if but a few
shall know my worth and proudly call me friend."
Edgar Guest's poetry is paired with text from
Shakespeare to create a warm, reflective text
on the importance of friendship. Subtle tempo
changes and sensitive dynamics encourage
expressive singing, and an optional obbligato
allows for a C instrument of your choice.

n Can You Hear Me?Bob Chilcott. The simple
message, "Can you see, feel, hear me, the sun
too?" is expressed through sign language as
this two-part choral is sung. Signing pictures are
included on the opening page for both British and
American sign language. A popular choice with
festival choirs!
