4 Agnus Dei (Requiem)—Jay Althouse.
This setting of the traditional Agnus Dei Latin text
from the Requiem Mass was specifically written to
honor the memory of the numerous victims of the
senseless mass shooting tragedies of the summer
of 2016. With a very open harmonic texture, almost
a cappella with its minimalist piano accompaniment,
this setting weaves between consonance and
dissonance with simple contrary vocal lines over
an insistent single note that tolls in the piano until
all voices combine in meditative, somber harmony.
This piece will evoke a reflective moment in your
concert or worship setting. A pronunciation guide
and translation are given for the Latin text.

Breathe Soft, Ye Winds—Greg Gilpin.
Greg Gilpin's skillful writing and sensitive
interpretation create an expressive piece that
brings understanding to the poignant text by the
18th-century poet Ambrose Philips. Stunning in its
simplicity, with intelligent voice-leading, practical
ranges and clear phrasing, this will allow choirs to
sound their very best in no time at all. "Breathe soft,
ye winds, ye waters, gently flow. Shield her, ye trees,
ye flow'rs, around her grow..." Highly recommended!

student who passed away to honor his memory.

sometimes sharing only moments. This profound
work honors those whose influence is the most
treasured gift in our lives.

contribution to the concert repertoire for more
discerning choirs!

Jenny—Ryan Kerr & Nick Myers. Fluid vocal
lines and a sensitive text shine in this powerful,
heartfelt recollection of a lost loved one. Perfectly
capturing the essence of love that lives forever, it
is at the same time both touching and haunting.
For a cappella choirs, this will be warmly received
in concert or memorial performances. "Quietly the
strain falls out of tune. Shadows steal across a
lonely moon. I miss you so..."

Kyrie (from "Memorial")—Rene Clausen.
Breathtaking. Exquisite. This powerful prayer
for peace and mercy is sheer beauty. Layers of
sound, color and texture weave seamlessly into an
intricate tapestry of devotion. From the larger work,
"Memorial," written in response to the events of
September 11, 2001, Kyrie is a moving, emotional
plea for peace.

Lullaby—Daniel Elder. This contemporary
concert/festival piece is truly inspired, in music and
text. "Away, where the sunlight is beaming through a
deep, cloudless blue, and the treetops are gleaming

A Lullaby—Ryan Murphy. The poetry of Eugene
Field is captured beautifully in this original work.
The words of the lullaby speak both to a child falling
asleep and to a child who "does not hear his mother's
song." The lilting triple meter and the movement
of the piano accompaniment imitate rocking. Add
the optional strings for a lush effect. "And as I sing,
my sweet, to you, oh, would the lullaby I sing - the
same sweet lullaby he knew while slumbering on this
bosom too - were borne to him on angel's wing! So
hushaby - O hushaby." Highly recommended!

O Nata Lux—Tom Porter. Fluid melodic lines
depict the gentle birthing of light from light in this
reverent setting of the classic Latin text. Poignant
harmonies support the interwoven countermelodies,
creating layers of sound that climax in the final
refrain and fade into sweet reflection on the repeated
phrase, "O nata lux."

Oh Think of Me—Elaine 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!
