"Morning breaks, the earth awakens, field and forest, in anticipation, hold their breath as nature comes alive to sing." A celebration of the symphony of sound that surrounds us in the natural world comes together with a modern melody, interesting harmonies and an inspired piano accompaniment. Finger cymbals and tambourine provide added color and variety in this unique modern concert work. Highly recommended! 10684755 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 t New BeginningsJim Papoulis. New Beginnings was inspired by an exciting yet bittersweet time for students - the closing of one chapter in life and beginning another. Although many of us look forward to a next chapter in life with great anticipation, we find ourselves emotional for a chapter that will never exist the same way again. This piece is highly suitable for moving up or graduation ceremonies. 10565279 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Ht A New DayAudrey Snyder. This joyful new a cappella work is an excellent concert and contest piece. Well-crafted part writing makes this a fine choice for developing tuning, phrasing and choral style, and its use of harmony is particularly creative and rewarding. 3253465 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4 NightingaleGlenda E. Franklin. This hauntingly beautiful original piece captures the essence of the nightingale's song. The tender text is set with a delicately spun melody and flowing piano accompaniment in a gorgeous harmonic structure that is sure to appeal to musical sensibilities of your choir. This is a great piece to teach phrasing and musicality to your developing treble singers. 10689917 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10689918 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4t Now Is the Month of Maying!Thomas Morley/ arr. Kirby Shaw. This is a surprising departure from what you'd expect when you read the title. An intriguing mix of old and new, Kirby Shaw's treatment of the Thomas Morley madrigal retains the original vocal parts in dancing counterpoint on the verses while adding a fresh rhythmic refrain of fa-la-las at the beginning and end. With a shaker accompaniment, this spritely a cappella arrangement builds ensemble skills such as intonation, flexibility, balance, and blend. A fun new take on an old favorite! 10752145 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 n Now Sleeps the Crimson PetalGreg Gilpin. This sensitive setting of Alfred Lord Tennyson's time-honored poem is a musical text painting, set to lush harmonic phrases and lyric melodies. The simple yet supportive accompaniment allows the vocals to be showcased throughout. "Now sleeps the crimson petal, now the white; Nor waves the cypress in the palace walk; Nor winks the gold fin in the porphry font: The firefly wakens: waken thou with me..." Highly recommended! 10443555 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.80 10735147 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 l O Great SpiritShawn Kirchner. Simple, repeated note patterns form the melodic and accompanimental textures of this piece and combine with the text to build a feeling and sense of humility. Each verse builds toward a cascade of running eighth notes that subsides in quietness. A mood of reverence permeates the piece as Chief Yellow Lark's words, uttered with eternity in mind, reveal all of life to be sacred. Flute and piano accompaniment parts are included in the octavo. 10715674 SSA Flute & Piano . . . . . . . . . . 2.75 4 O Lux BeatissimaMark Burrows. Translated as "O blessed light, fill the hearts of all people. In work, rest; in stress, relief; in sorrow, comfort," this Latin text is featured in a gorgeous choral setting. Wonderful musical opportunities for teaching breathing, phrase shaping, pure vowel sound, and dynamic control abound in this elegantly flowing setting. A pronunciation guide is included to aid in the instruction of the Latin text. This highly recommended piece will work equally well for young treble voices or women's choirs. 10684757 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 n O Rushing WindMark Patterson. This flowing original is so singable and so meaningful, it will be one of your choir's favorites. "Come and follow me as we sail the open seas and find the place where all our dreams begin..." Full of hope and optimism, with a beautiful melody and an evocative piano accompaniment, it portrays the wind and the sea as the life force that will "bring us safely home again." 10352284 Unison/Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Oceans and StarsAmy Bernon. Paralleling the voyages we make through life with those of a river flowing to the sea, this poignant original work creates a thoughtful and meaningful atmosphere that will bring out the best in your choir. Suitable for any general concert, it is also a superb choice for graduation. "Live, you will live; grow, you will grow; sing, you will sing, you will flow..." 10509120 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10509121 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 10680940 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10499818 Multi-Song Accompaniment CD . . . . . . . . 44.99 l Oh Think of MeElaine Hagenberg. The simple beauty of a sunrise, a summer breeze, or evening stars can evoke memories of a loved one. Oh, Think of Me was inspired by a poem by Frances Anne Kemble to honor the life of a young man who died too young. With a beautiful, emotive piano art, soaring melodies and reflective moments, your singers and audience will find heartache and then resolution and peace in both the music and the text. Absolutely breathtaking! 10661176 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 n The Old MillKenneth Riggs. Rigg's intriguing setting of this poignant, reflective poem by Thomas Dunn English features an accompaniment that emulates flowing water and the turning of the mill wheel. The minor mode and 6/8 pulse effectively establish the mood for this haunting piece which will provide a unique contrast for your concert or festival programming needs. This is truly a special piece of music you won't want to miss. 10601729 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10647355 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.95 One CandleAndy Beck & Brian Fisher. It's a ready-made candle-lighting ceremony as a soloist sings with a solitary flame, a second voice adds its light, and gradually the whole choir illuminates the stage with their voices and hopes of peace. One Latin phrase, "Dona nobis pacem," is sung by the echoing chorus, then "in the glow of candlelight I see... peace for you and me." Choirs of all ages will sound their very best on this at Christmas or any time of year! Highly recommended! 10027503 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10027504 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10027505 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.85 10027506 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 10027507 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 n One VoiceTom Shelton & Maribeth Yoder- White. "One voice in the darkness. One single voice searching for truth. A voice that's filled with light and love. This is my voice reaching for you..."

An excellent choice. 3129079 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 l Quiet SeaJill Friedersdorf & Melissa Keylock. A song of hope and promise, the simple melodic idea begins in an opening baritone solo before being picked up by the sopranos and altos. This melodic idea continues to be shared freely throughout the piece. The piano accompaniment adds support and forward motion as the choir asks "Where is the quiet sea? Where is the sun so fair? Lost in the storm, lost in the clouds... yet there." 10757930 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10082630 Unison . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75 10188786 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 Rest Not!Laura Farnell.

FINDING OPHELIA'S VOICE, OPENING OPHELIA'S HEART Nurturing the Adolescent Female Voice Lynne Gackle. Lynne Gackle, Associate Professor of Ensembles and Assistant Choral Director at Baylor University, has long been an advocate for the power of singing as a catalyst for positive change and self-actualization in adolescent girls. Her landmark text is a synthesis of these ideas, reflecting her unmatched expertise on the working of the female voice and a lifetime of experience and research. Serving to enlighten and encourage teachers and choral directors of these students, Finding Ophelia's Voice, Opening Ophelia's Heart addresses the symptoms of vocal change in the female voice, along with physiological factors that affect it. Appropriate choral literature, recordings, and other educational materials are also presented. The included DVD, which may be used as a teaching tool in the classroom, provides demonstrations of the phases of vocal maturation, voice classification, vocal techniques, and other pedagogical strategies, all with the help of an all-girl choir (ages 12- 16) under the direction of Dr. Gackle. 10090243 Book/DVD . . . . . . . . . 44.95 BEST SELLERS Secular Concert SATB Buy with confidence!
