and historical significance of Edgar Allan Poe. Your

n The Dawn's Awake!Laura Farnell. Just as The
Dawn's Awake!, a poem by early twentieth-century
poet Otto Bohanan, uses personification and vivid
imagery to describe the beauty of the sunrise, Laura
Farnell's music conveys the hope of looking forward
to a brighter future. Developing men's choirs will
realize their full potential when they sing this serious
work, which is a refreshing change of pace from
the abundance of lighter fare in the repertoire. "The
dawn of a thousand dreams and thrills, and music
sings and rings in the hills."

Mendelssohn/arr. Russ Robinson. There's no better
way to celebrate the birth of Felix Mendelssohn
than with this flexibly scored arrangement of one

educationally rewarding as it is beautiful!

n Double, Double Toil and TroubleLeeann
Ashby Starkey. You can almost envision the
three witches dancing around their kettle
adding the ingredients for their potion in this
choral adaptation of the witches scene from
Shakespeare's Macbeth. Starting simply with
one voice singing the main theme, the piece
builds continually toward a climatic and frenzied
ending. The accompaniment is supportive but
also supplies much of the frantic and mysterious
mood. Great text and a fun sing. Available in
SATB or SSA voicing.

The Dream KeeperRollo Dilworth. A persistent
underlying rhythm gives this setting of the Langston
Hughes poem a powerful, mysterious drive. "Bring
me all of your dreams, you dreamers. Bring me all
of your Heart melodies, that I may wrap them in a
blue cloud cloth away from the too-rough fingers
of the world..." Use conga drums to enhance the
impact of this compelling work!

n Flight of the GracklesJohn Parker & Janet
Gardner. What a wonderful tone painting! The
superb text and menacing music conjure a
conspiracy of five grackles, which are blackbirds
notorious for their loud, cacophonous cries, as they
devour a field of grain. A thrilling work for young
choirs! Highly recommended!
