This poem was discovered in a dark cellar in Cologne, Germany where thousands of Jews hid from persecution from the Nazis. "I believe in the sun even when it is not shining... I believe in God, even when He is silent." This plaintive setting is in both German and English, and may be performed in either or a combination of both languages.

This original selection combines folk and gospel elements in a laid-back style in the pattern of a traditional spiritual. A symbolic text leads to crossing the metaphoric River Jordan as the music recalls songs from early America. The piece opens with brief solos, builds to a hand clapping bridge, and concludes only after full choral harmonies fade and voices unite on a single pitch. 10738905 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10738906 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10738907 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 I Couldn't Hear Nobody Pray arr. Victor C. Johnson. A slow opening section blossoms into a rhythmic, energetic setting of this traditional spiritual for soloist and choir. A cappella throughout, with a call-and- response texture between the soloist and the choir, this dynamic concert work presents an opportunity to teach the historical context and style of the piece in an exciting arrangement that is sure to energize the singers and audience alike.

Inspired by Sarah Williams' poem The Old Astronomer, the exceptional text in this new concert work tells of the irony of life's moments. This appealing piece features an optional cello obbligato which combines with the lovely, flowing piano part to create a supportive accompaniment.

This mysterious and thought-provoking concert work begins with the simple call of "I hear oceans" and melts into lush choral writing enhanced by interesting harmonies and textures. This unusual choral will work well as a festival piece or for an honors choir setting. 10689418 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10689418E SATB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10737678 SSA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 I Want to Be Ready arr.

Slow and reflective, this piece provides rich textures and glorious harmonies for a sweet moment in your service or concert. 10757397 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 Homeward Bound arr. McKay Crockett. After racking up over a million views on YouTube, this unique a cappella stunner by Brigham Young University's Vocal Point and the All-American Boys Chorus is now available for SATB divisi choirs. Contemporary a cappella harmonies and layered choral textures support the soloists during the folk- like verses and full choral refrains. The familiar Holst melody makes a few appearances, and a three-part treble chorus (or descant group) is an ethereal addition at the end. "Bind me not to the pasture; chain me not to the plow. Set me free to find my calling and I'll return to you somehow."

This modern folk song is whimsical, lively, and fun to sing while providing plenty of good teaching opportunities. The well-written accompaniment, with optional parts for fiddle, string bass, banjo and tambourine, adds to the authentic feel. Very nicely done! 10708677 Two-Part . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 How Can I Keep from Singing? Robert Lowry/arr. Russell Robinson. The well-loved song by Robert Lowry takes on a more reflective and emotional style in this elegant, simple setting for mixed voices. Accessible choral parts make this a good choice for developing a cappella singing. A refreshing take on a beloved work that will program beautifully as an a cappella concert feature or a poignant opener or closer. 10684069 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10684069E SATB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10684071 SAB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10684071E SAB ePrint . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 How Sweet the Sound Philip Lawson. A new refreshing setting of such a well-loved hymn, this Amazing Grace was originally written for The King's Singers and a women's choir. It is mesmerizing and also challenging. The setting lends itself to be performed in numerous configurations - antiphonally, in the round, or concert formation. 10748251 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45 Hushaby Ellen Gilson Voth. This arrangement presents the challenge of singing a familiar lullaby with a freshness and a tender but well-supported tone. The contrasting middle section is intended to be dreamlike, with cascading images of horses that are moving quickly then gradually slowing their pace. The ending allows the choir to be luxurious with time, and to enjoy the final hum fading into silence. A wonderful artistic arrangement - highly recommended! 10663238 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 Hushabye, Nanita Nana Mary Donnelly & George L.O. Strid. The gorgeous Spanish lullaby A la Nanita Nana is paired with a new melody in this creative partner song. This piece may be performed in Spanish or English and includes a pronunciation guide. Use either the piano accompaniment and optional flute obbligato, or the beautifully styled accompaniment CD track for your performance. Equally appropriate for the holidays, or for use throughout the year.
