and accessible for the developing treble choir. A

H Amazing Gracearr. Jack Schrader. Absolutely
inspired! Jack's perspective on this beloved melody
is to use a slow, gospel style. The authentic piano
accompaniment has all the piano licks you could
possibly want, and supports the arrangement just as
well as the marvelous orchestral track. In a creative
twist, the last verse features the instruments on the
melody as the choir acts as "back-up singers" to
the piano. Part of our American heritage, Amazing
Grace is a hymn everyone knows, and this
arrangement adds a richness to the melody that
you simply must hear to appreciate.

n Amazing Gracearr. Bruce Stevenson/ed. Craig
Courtney. "And when this flesh and heart shall fail,
and mortal life shall cease, I shall possess within
the veil a life of joy and peace." This seldom heard
verse provides a poignant climax to a rich, fresh
rendition of the much-loved hymn. The addition of
the cello obbligato adds to the depth and warmth of
this steadfast arrangement for SATB voices.

4 The Ash Grovearr. Mark Patterson. This gentle
setting of the beloved Welsh folk tune features a lilting
piano accompaniment and a lovely obbligato part for
oboe or clarinet (both parts are included). With some
rhythmic variation and extended cadences from the
original folk song, this lyrical setting presents all the
beauty that the text so aptly describes. With the
opportunity to feature a soloist in the opening section,
the texture expands from unison and two-part to a
rich choral texture with warm, pleasant harmonies.
This lovely concert selection presents a wonderful
opportunity to teach phrasing and musical expression
to developing choirs.

l
Auld Lang SyneMark Sirett. Often translated as
"times gone by" or "days long ago," this is a song
of friendship and goodwill. Traditionally associated
with New Year's Eve festivities, this Scottish air is
also appropriate as a farewell at any event or even
graduations. This setting includes much of the
original Scots as well as an English translation.
Piano and flute accompaniment parts are included
in the octavo.

4 Barb'ry Allenarr. Dan Davison. Exciting
rhythms, an accompaniment that imitates
the snare drum, and an original melody in the
Mixolydian mode make this arrangement an
attractive choice for SSA choirs. The uptempo
Celtic feel along with a lot of unison and two-part
singing makes this selection appealing to a wide
variety of treble ensembles.

n Bandyrowearr. Susan Brumfield. "Way up
yonder above the moon, a bluebird sits in a silver
spoon. Kitty alone and I..." This Irish nonsense
song is a whirling, twirling kaleidoscope of sound
- an excellent showcase for treble choirs in middle
school and up! "To me tat, me tear, me ditt'n o-dill,
Kitty alone and I."

n Banjo Samarr. Jay Broeker. Based on an
American folk tune from the southern folk tradition
of the early 1900s, this selection is an upbeat
showpiece that incorporates a banjo player, a bit
of non-improvised scat singing, a fun text, and
the option of clog or tap dancers to create both
rhythmic and visual excitement!

Bile Them Cabbage Downarr. Steve
Kupferschmid. This lively, rhythmic and humorous

A step-by-step guide
HOW TO MAKE
A GOOD CHOIR
SOUND GREAT
Various Composers.
This remarkable DVD presents a
systematic approach to improving
the sound of choirs of all ages,
types, and stages of development.
From vocal warm-ups to rehearsals
to culminating performances,
this DVD provides a step-by-step
guide to help choral ensembles
to reach their full potential. The
key components are: Creative
positioning of singers in rehearsals
and performance; Placement of
individual singers (voice matching);
Developing expressiveness through
facial engagement, movement,
and emotional connections to the
text and music. In this DVD, many
different standing positions are
demonstrated and the numerous
factors involved in deciding which
position to use are discussed. Dr.
Charlene Archibeque demonstrates
unique placements that work in
varied rehearsal situations, including
standing, sitting, using risers, and
dealing with a flat floor. She also
explores the most effective positions
for performance situations, taking
into consideration the acoustics
of the venue, the strengths and
weaknesses of the choir, and
the repertoire to be performed.
A focal point of this DVD is the
demonstration of the decision-
making process involved in the
placement of individual singers
within a section. Blend, balance,
intonation, musicianship, and
aural skills - as well as strength
of each voice and timbre of each
singer - are factors that affect these
decisions. Unique "before and after"
comparisons, suitable for showing to
singers, highlight the contrasts prior
to and after voice matching and/
or positioning of singers for specific
repertoire. The powerful effects
of capturing each singer's innate
expressiveness and imagination are
displayed via contrasting examples
of engaged and unengaged singing.
This DVD, with its unprecedented
combination of explanations,
graphics, and singer demonstrations,
offers a unique and valuable
resource for both conductor-
teachers and singers.
