H When I Close My EyesJim Papoulis. "When I
close my eyes then I can see that I am not afraid."
This song of confidence and hope for young voices
resonates with positive lyrics, a strong melody and
an expressive accompaniment for piano and cello.
Written in ABA form, the message is enhanced
with the contrasting middle section that is a clear
declaration of belief in oneself. An enriching choral
statement that we recommend very highly!

n Who Has Seen the Wind?Edwin T. Childs.
Christina Rossetti's intriguing poem about the
mysteriousness of the wind provides the text for
this engaging, gentle concert offering for young and
developing choirs. The flute provides interesting
color and a distinctive third part when both vocal
parts unite in an effective partner song format.
A learning resource page is included.

H Why We SingGreg Gilpin. The consummate
concert closer! "A sound of hope, a sound of
peace, a sound that celebrates and speaks what
we believe. A sound of love, a sound so strong. It's
amazing what is given when we share a song. This
is why we sing..." You won't find a better song than
this one for combined choirs celebrating the joy of
music! Highly recommended!

n With a Hey, Ho, Nonny, Nonny No!Cynthia
Gray. Commissioned by the Cincinnati Children's
Choir Festival, this delightful work is written in the
style of a madrigal and is absolutely infectious. It
is a marvelous, accessible choice for young choirs
and your singers will love the joyful, merry style and
rhythmic feel. It is especially appropriate for spring
concerts and end-of-year performances.

Wynken, Blynken, and NodGreg Gilpin. The
delightful Eugene Field poem is a fantasy bedtime
story about three children sailing and fishing
among the stars from a boat (which is a wooden
shoe), symbolizing a sleepy child's blinking eyes,
nodding head and trundle bed. Greg Gilpin's
original music is rhythmic and up-tempo, reflecting
the story in a playful and wonderfully teachable
way! Highly recommended!

l Abenlied (Evening Song)Felix Mendelssohn/
arr. Russell Robinson. A delicate Lied sensitively
set for two-part or three-part voices. The piano
accompaniment is especially beautiful and
appropriate for this masterwork from the Romantic
era. Teaching opportunities abound to introduce
a simple German text, exquisite phrasing and
musicality, and historical context and style. Optional
English lyrics are included, as well as a complete
IPA guide for the German text.

Afternoon on a HillCynthia Gray. Edna St.
Vincent Millay's vivid poetic imagery and emotional
message come to life in this lovely, expressive
piece. "I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers and not pick one..."
Now for both mixed and treble voices, it is simply
exquisite! Highly recommended!

4 All Days Are NightsRuth Morris Gray.
Shakespeare's beautiful love poem is set brilliantly
for choral singing that is full of emotion and
dynamic interest in its interpretation of the text.
The vocal ranges, well-written harmonies, and
accessible accompaniment make this a perfect
choice for middle schools. A stunning work for
emerging choirs. Highly recommended!

4 All My Heart Shall Sing with JoyGreg Gilpin.
An exciting original piece that portrays the joy that
we feel in our hearts when we experience and
share our gifts of music! Shifting rhythmic patterns,
joyous melodies and an energized accompaniment
create a festival-type setting of this accessible
piece. A lyrical, expressive middle section sets up a
beautiful contrast which resolves once again into a
dynamic closing section. A wonderful way to both
advocate for music and present a festive concert
work for young choirs! Highly recommended!

AlterationsAndrea Ramsey. "A sweet, free
thought inside my head as I lay down upon my
bed, and I think of how the world could be." The
text for this piece was written by a former student
of the composer. This hopeful and optimistic text
is reflected in this contemporary flavored concert
work. Simple melodic ideas and a sharing of those
ideas between the voices and a whimsical piano
accompaniment create a musical moment that is
dance like and full of joy.

H Seize the Day—arr. Roger Emerson. From award-winning composer Alan
Menken, this is the exciting show-stopper from the Disney movie "Newsies."
Featuring a very strong "brotherhood" text, it begins with a chorale-like opening
and then drives to a riveting climax. Powerful! . . . .

Singing Peace Canon—Donald Moore. "Peace, peace, singing peace,
singing peace to all this night." This simple text is set with a lovely melody
built around the tonic triad and then carried into canon. This piece is a snap to
learn but creates a beautiful texture with a timely message for all. Accessible
vocal ranges fit singers of any age in this two-part canon, while an optional
C-instrument obbligato adds a third voice to this graceful piece.

Song for Sarajevo—Judy Collins/arr. Audrey Snyder. This emotionally
charged song by Judy Collins from 1994 was written for the children of the
Bosnian War of the 1990s, but has continuing meaning for today's children of
conflict. "I dream of peace, I dream of flowers on the hill, I dream I see my mother
smiling. When I close my eyes I dream of peace." Moving!

Songs of Peace—Jeremiah Klarman/arr. David Chase. Two separate
pieces under one cover! Hineih Ma Tov from Paslm 133 is rousing, dance-like
and full of energy. Oseh Shalom from the Book of Job has a slow opening that
leads to a more dance-like setting. Both works express the hope and desire for a
peaceful world. Pronunciation guide and translation are included.

Together We Are!—Brian Tate. Together we are one human family! This
gospel-styled song of peace and unity really rocks! Opportunities for solo or
small groups and improvisation abound throughout. Repeated rhythmic patterns
make this piece easily accessible to any choir. Add some percussion to the piano
accompaniment and take it to the next level!

Unity (Psalm 133)—Keith Hampton. From the composer of the perennial
bestseller Praise His Holy Name, the piece Unity is a response to all the violence
in our cities and around the world. Adapted from Psalm 133, the verses state that
unity is like the love of a mother or father holding their child who has been killed
because of violence in the street. Equally appropriate for the concert stage or the
worship service, this admonition for peace in a dynamite gospel setting will be a
powerful work that unifies your choir and brings hope to your audience. "Behold
how good and pleasant it is when people dwell in unity."

We Will Sing the World Whole Again—Mark Burrows. This song begins
by having choir members state something hurtful that has been said to them in
an overlapping texture that shows that we have all been affected by pain and
violence, and yet we choose to sing. From its opening section of cacophony to
the powerful refrain, this original song will inspire your singers and your audience
to rise above their hurt and the violence in our world. "We will rise from the
senseless pain and violence. Fear will fail and love will win. And a new song will
echo in the silence. We will sing the world whole again."

What the World Needs Now Is Love (Broadway for Orlando)—
Hal David & Burt Bacharach/arr. Seth Rudetsky.
This new arrangement of

in response to the June 12, 2016 shooting massacre at the Pulse Nightclub.
Raise your voices in song to honor the victims and the LGBT community of
Central Florida.
