The title of this piece, though it never actually appears in the lyrics, provides an overarching metaphor for the text. The ebb and flow of the piano accompaniment represents a turbulent sea, while the text presents themes of strength, guidance, and living by example in this inspirational choral.

The Music of Stillnessais a beautiful and emotive setting of Sara Teasdale's poem 'There Will Be Rest'. Sonorously scored choral phrases conjure up images of 'stars shining, rooftops covered with snow, crystal peace...finding the music of stillness'. Following a serene opening, the piece rises and falls through both affecting climaxes and passages of great tranquility, ending with the same sense of stillness with which it begins. 10739016 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 3.75 4 My Baby Sings Soprano—Jake Averitt.

Great piece for teaching diction and expression! 10735170 TB T(B)B . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 4 Nda Wana—arr. Michael Barrett. An African game song in Venda accompanied by djembe and hand clapping. It begins with a single voice part, and as the song progresses more voices are added, creating more complexity and density. Makes a great processional piece! Translation and pronunciation guide provided. 10708968 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 4e Nightingale—Glenda E. Franklin.

This is a great piece to teach phrasing and musicality to your developing treble singers. 10689917 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 10689918 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4 Nine Hundred Miles—arr.

Highly recommended! 10696087 SATB with Clarinet . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 4t Now Is the Month of Maying!—Thomas Morley/arr. Kirby Shaw. This is a surprising departure from what you'd expect when you read the title. An intriguing mix of old and new, Kirby Shaw's treatment of the Thomas Morley madrigal retains the original vocal parts in dancing counterpoint on the verses while adding a fresh rhythmic refrain of fa-la-las at the beginning and end. With a shaker accompaniment, this spritely a cappella arrangement builds ensemble skills such as intonation, flexibility, balance, and blend. A fun new take on an old favorite! 10752145 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 4 O Antiqui Sancti—Hildegard von Bingen/ arr. Michael Engelhardt. This thrilling work for women's chorus from Michael Engelhardt offers something totally unique for your program. A mix of sustained vocal lines and articulated passages along with both contrapuntal and homophonic writing make this a truly remarkable composition. A fascinating combination of old and new, Latin with bass and percussion, this piece will be a favorite of your singers! 10746432 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.65 4t O Clap Your Hands—Victor C. Johnson. "O clap your hands, all ye people. Lift up your voice, sing alleluia!" The opening fanfare-like section is complemented by a contrasting legato middle section before returning to the joyous opening statement. The coda features an exhilarating conclusion, complete with hand claps and repeated declarations of the primary text. A superb selection for women's choirs! 10736683 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 4 O Lux Beatissima—Mark Burrows. Translated as "O blessed light, fill the hearts of all people. In work, rest; in stress, relief; in sorrow, comfort," this Latin text is featured in a gorgeous choral setting. Wonderful musical opportunities for teaching breathing, phrase shaping, pure vowel sound, and dynamic control abound in this elegantly flowing setting. A pronunciation guide is included to aid in the instruction of the Latin text. This highly recommended piece will work equally well for young treble voices or women's choirs. 10684757 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 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. 10593346 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.35 e Oceans and Stars—Amy Bernon.
