4 All My Heart Shall Sing with Joy—
Greg 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

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!

If Music Be the Food of Love—Rene Clausen.
This beautiful poem of love begins with seven
words from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night and then
moves to Colonel Heveningham's original words. As
the colorful imagery of the text unfolds, the music
reflects the textual meaning. With cascading melodic
lines and nontraditional harmonic progressions, the
music touches on several tonal centers and closes
with a recap of the opening section with the final
measures repeating the most poignant words of the
poem Sing On.

interjections, and a tender final realization that
declares "Yes, it's music!" This piece sets up the
educational opportunity to challenge your students
to think about what music really is. Wonderful!
