age. The reharmonized and modern piano part pro-

4t Going Across the Mountain—Ellen Gilson
Voth. This arrangement contrasts the unbridled

special person behind, along with the promise of
return. In the style of an Appalachian folk song, this

This challenging piece for better a cappella choirs

learn and fun to sing! Now available in a two-

4t 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."
Inspirational!

Sonne)—Thomas Juneau. 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

is silent." This plaintive setting is in both German
and English, and may be performed in either or a
combination of both languages. Moving!

4 I Can See the River Jordan—Jay Althouse.
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.
