Secular Concert All Voicings medium-advanced / Madrigals
H O My Love's Like a Red, Red RoseRenee
Clausen. Rich harmonic textures, sweeping piano
lines, and 19th century Romantic nuances bring
this Robert Burns poem to life in Rene Clausen's
exquisite choral setting. Scored for divisi choral
forces, piano, violin and cello, it is a breathtaking
treatment of a well-known poem that has become
a distinguished addition to the choral repertoire for
more experienced choirs.

4 O Notte (O Night)Z. Randall Stroope. Richly
melodic and flowing, O Notte brings the poetry
of Michelangelo and Friedrich Ruckert to life.
"O night, o sweet though somber span of time."
The text makes this a good choice for a concert
closer, and the accessible ranges, supportive
accompaniment and artistry of the vocal writing
lend this work to high school, university, and
community choirs.

H The PastureZ. Randall Stroope. Robert Frost's
elegant poetry harkens to a simpler time and
Randall Stroope's choral setting is both lush
and expressive. Clear vocal lines and rich
harmonies sing beautifully over a supportive
accompaniment, while the meter changes at the
slower tempo give the work a freedom in line and
motion. Masterfully done.

l
Selene's BoatDon Macdonald. This new
composition explores the power of the sea-
wayfarer goddess Selene and her power to harness
the moon's influence over the tides. It uses a very
contemporary a cappella texture, vocal glissandos,
and fall-offs all based on the g minor pentatonic
scale to create a lush and cinematic work with jazz
influences. An accompaniment for HAPI or other
tuned percussion make this a truly special work for
your concert.

t SleepEric Whitacre. This expressive, lush choral
work by Eric Whitacre combines an enigmatic
text and expansive chordal harmonies into a
sublime musical statement of release and quiet
resolve. With a text by celebrated American poet
Charles Anthony Silvestri, it is a particularly moving
perspective on the journey into sleep and, finally, to
dream. Stunning!

n Song to the Moon (La Luna)Z. Randall Stroope.
This is vintage, expressive writing for the upper-level
choir. Scored for voices, flute, oboe and piano, it is
laced with the haunting, mysterious wonder of the
moon. The text is freely paraphrased from the work
of Czech poet Jaroslov Kvapil. "La Luna, your light
sees through endless time. Tell, o tell me where my
love lies. O moon, e'er you pass, wake my dreaming
lover. I am waiting, I am calling..."

H Stars I Shall FindDavid Dickau. Stars I Shall
Find is about the hope one has in that which is
desired, yet not immediately attainable. Sara
Teasdale's poem depicts stars as beacons of hope
and aspiration. Dickau's lush, romantic rendering
celebrates those hopes and dreams which inspire
and motivate. The accompaniment is in partnership
with the choir through this beautiful piece.

l SunriseMichael Hennagin. Melodically rich with
soft dissonances that seem to depict the sunbeams
gently shining over the horizon. The Whitman text is
full of lovely imagery, and the entire work displays
a perfect marriage of voicing and accompaniment.
Simply lovely.

H Sure on this Shining NightMorten Lauridsen.
"Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows
round, kindness must watch for me this side the
ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle
Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music
captures all of the beauty and wonder of James
Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices
(with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a
superb composition for better choirs!

H There Will Be RestFrank Ticheli. Sara
Teasdale's lyric poem looks to the stars for serenity
and promise, and this handsome setting is superbly
crafted by noted composer Frank Ticheli. Tasteful
harmonic suspensions and rich choral textures
bring this work to life with a delicate beauty that
perfectly expresses the spirit of the poem. A
superior choice for concert appearances with more
capable choirs.

H TundraCharles A. Silvestri & Ola Gjeilo. Majestic
scenes from Ola Gjeilo's native Norway inspired
Charles Silvestri's text for this contemporary
tone poem. The words and music are fused in a
poignant, lyrical way to convey the intense beauty
of the landscape. An excellent winter feature or
festival choice for mature women's choirs.

t Voice DanceGreg Jasperse. This is amazing!
A wordless vocal dance, celebrating the human
voice and the joy of singing together - this
goes beyond vocal jazz into the realm of sound
painting. Unlike most vocal jazz, the syllables
used are virtually all open vowel sounds, such as
Ba va da do way and Da dee ya dan do way. For
choirs at the medium-advanced level, this creates
a compelling vocal texture such as you've never
heard! Highly recommended!

4t WaterAnders Edenroth. This innovative
a cappella work by Anders Edenroth provides
a poetic and philosophical perspective on the
transparent matter so essential to the survival
of every living creature. This composition goes
beyond music, allowing singers and audiences to
reflect on a deep message. The use of tuned water
bottles provides both an interesting soundscape
and a visual reminder of the importance of water
to human life.

Ht Water NightEric Whitacre. This emotive work
for divisi choir, based on a translation of a poem by
Octavio Paz, uses an advanced palette of harmonic
colors for a shimmering and mysterious effect. It
provides a stellar moment in your concert hall with
your more accomplished choir.

Ht William Tell OvertureGioacchino Rossini/
arr. Eschliman. Rossini would be amazed by
what Julie Eschliman has done with his famous
piece! It's hard to keep a straight face while
singing this hilarious novelty arrangement for
better choirs. Sung entirely on syllables which
imitate the sounds of the original orchestral
score, this is tongue-in-cheek humor at its
best! Awesome when performed a cappella,
but equally impressive with the optional piano
accompaniment, this will earn a standing ovation!
Very highly recommended!

n You Are the MusicDan Forrest. This lush,
award-winning SSAATB work with soprano solo
hauntingly sets Amy Lowell's "Listening" text in a
most engaging manner. The piano accompaniment
and French horn solo work in partnership with the
choral ensemble.

Madrigals
Ht All Ye Who Music LoveBaldassare Donato/
Spevacek. Here's a stunning original work in
Madrigal style, this is light and airy, bright and
festive. Linda has taken a clever approach to the
famous Donato text, with lilting music and word
painting, which allows the choir to "warble" with
impunity! It's a fun introduction to Madrigals for
developing voices!

t
Alleluia MadrigalDonald Moore. Develop your
choir's a cappella skills with this straightforward
original madrigal that employs traditional
harmonies, modest ranges, and lots of repetition,
making it a quickly learned piece. An excellent
choice for beginning mixed groups, this also sings
very well in the SSA and TTBB voicings, and its
text options allow for performances throughout the
school year. Very nicely done!

t A Day of Joyful SingingDonald Moore. Here
is a superb easy original madrigal for developing
voices, with optional piano, optional baritone,
a happy text and plenty of "fa la la" passages.
Faithful to the madrigal style of the 16th and early
17th centuries, this has great educational and
performance value. Highly recommended!

lt El Grilloarr. Russell Robinson. This arrangement
of Josquin's tongue-in-cheek "day in the life of a
cricket" offers an opportunity for three-part mixed
choirs to experience this classic literature. Mostly
homophonic, with several call-and-response
moments, this delightful arrangement may be
sung a cappella or with the provided piano part.
Italian and English texts are included, as is a
pronunciation guide.
10736746 Three-Part Mixed . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10
t Fair PhyllisJohn Farmer/arr. Emily John.
Perhaps the best-known madrigal by John
Farmer, Fair Phyllis has a light, buoyant quality
appropriate for women's voices. Highly imitative,
with accessible ranges, this will let your singers
enjoy the whimsical lyrics and the moments of text
painting. "The shepherds knew not whither she
was gone ... when he found her, oh, then they fell
a-kissing...."

t
A Festive MadrigalWilliam Gooch/arr. Moore.
Developing three-part mixed and SSA choirs will
achieve their finest a cappella sound with this
light choral inspired by the tune Reuben, Reuben.
"Gather folk and all acquaintance, come and sing
the night away. Gather 'round and sing a chorus,
sing we now this festive day...Fa la la la la la la la..."
