Neither I nor you." Christina Rossetti's mysterious
and intriguing text is presented in a beautiful

both mixed and treble voicings, the lyrical choral
phrases are supported by an expressive piano
accompaniment to create a musical atmosphere
that lifts and turns like the blowing wind.

dynamic contrasts. Artful and haunting.

n Wide Open SpacesSarah Quartel.
Commissioned for the 2015 National Conference
of the American Choral Directors Association,
Wide Open Spaces reflects on the journeys and
adventures to be found in the wide open spaces
within ourselves and in the world around us. The
uplifting melody is passed from the upper voices
to the lower voices before the piece opens out
into an expansive texture with rich harmonies. A
playful episode of scat singing is introduced before
a resolute final chorus brings this evocative piece to
a peaceful and serene close.

n Will There Really Be a Morning?Ruth Morris
Gray. This delightfully fresh, creative setting of the
beloved Emily Dickinson poem is joyful, hopeful
and dramatic with anticipation. Complemented by

or festival use. A learning resource page
is included.

Will You Teach Me?Victor C. Johnson. A
poignant, inspiring anonymous text is perfectly
wedded to the music in this beguiling setting.
This is a piece that your students will hold dear
to their hearts as they sing their very best. "Will
you teach me how to dream, to face the future
sight unseen? ... Will you teach me how to
soar, to see things never seen before? But most
importantly of all, will you teach me how to be
the only thing I can be... Me?" An optional oboe
part is included in the octavo, to give the gently
flowing music even greater emotional depth.
Highly recommended!

l The Wind in the HemlockJohn Purifoy. Mixed

evocative work with a text by Sara Teasdale that

this an expressive addition to your concert and
contest repertoire!

l
The WindFranklin Gallo. This is the perfect
work for the developing treble choir. The range
and tessitura of the vocal parts lend themselves
to cultivating the skills of developing singers
while giving teachers the opportunity to introduce
common compositional techniques. The Wind
transports the listener to the fanciful, playful, and
sometimes mischievous youth that is eternally
heard in the howls of the wind.

Windy NightsCynthia Gray. A dramatic poem
by Robert Louis Stevenson is the inspiration for this
intense, exhilarating work, which portrays the poet's
childhood fear of storms. The music aptly captures
the sound and excitement of a stormy, windy night,
which the text likens to a riding horseman and the
pounding of his horse's hooves. Excellent editorial
notes provide fascinating background about this
poem and its famous author. This is wonderful
poetry and music for developing choirs!

4 Winter LullabySusie Lampert & William
J. Smith/arr. Laura Farnell. This tender lullaby
moves along with a gentle lilt as it sings of the
sweetness and joy of childhood. Not a winter piece
in the traditional sense, this lovely work paints a
charming picture for treble choirs. The two vocal
lines are woven together with the warm piano
accompaniment and cello obbligato to make a
superb showcase for young choirs.

4t The Wisdom of the MoonSusan LaBarr. The
Wisdom of the Moon expresses how easy it is to be
happy when things are difficult, but how we all need
to learn how to persevere during difficult times. A
sentiment of hope that is reflected in the tonality
and joyful triple meter. A great chance to feature a
soloist. Exceptional!

n The World in My DreamRuth Elaine Schram.
Can you imagine a world without music? This
sincere and inspirational original encourages all
who hear it to fill the void with their own unique
song, and thus fill the world with music. "What a
wonderful place, filled with beauty and grace; the
world in my dream!"

You Are My MusicLaura Farnell. "You are the
earth, you are my sky..." Two beautiful poems,
by Sara Teasdale and Zoe Akins, are lovingly
interwoven for the text of this lyrical, expressive
setting. Rubato phrases ebb and flow over a
romantic, arpeggiated accompaniment in this
superb concert showcase for young and developing
women's choirs! Highly recommended!

Ht You Are the New DayJohn David/arr. Knight.

repertoire of The King's Singers, this a cappella
SATB arrangement, with just a couple of divisis,

appeal of this amazing vocal group.

l You Stayed with MeTaylor Scott Davis.
A beautiful melody and a wonderful piano
accompaniment captures the essence of the
poetry of John Thornburg. Open harmonic
writing, a true bass part, some mixed meters and
an a cappella ending section are just some of the
wonderful choral moments that your men's choir
will experience in this piece. This composition
also allows your choir, in a safe place, among
their friends, to explore feelings and emotions
not always available to them as they move
through adolescence. A truly special musical and
emotional experience.

4 You've Been on My MindAudrey Snyder.
Growth, change, love and loss - these are all a part
of growing to adulthood. This gentle original offers an
introspective look at these emotions with accessible
and well-crafted pop-style harmonies and a lyric that
singers will embrace as their own. Accompanied, or
optional a cappella, for women's choirs.
