4 The Lighthouse—Andy Beck. 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.
Superb voice leading, along with sweeping
musicality and phrasing, make the warm
harmonic twists and turns accessible for any
choir. Expressive and elevating!

t Lineage—Andrea Ramsey. Margaret Walker's
text leaps off the musical page as words crying
to be sung. "My grandmothers were strong. They
followed plows and bent to toil." This was not
frailty - this was determined womanhood and
is reflected in the bluesy organic framework of
the piece.

n Lullaby—Daniel Elder. This contemporary con-
cert/festival piece is truly inspired, in music
and text. "Away, where the sunlight is beaming
through a deep, cloudless blue, and the tree-
tops are gleaming with a fresh morning dew..."
Appropriate for any occasion, including mem-
orials, it is a stunning work!

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

pronunciation guide provided.

He Omnia Sol (Let Your Heart Be Staid)—
Z. Randall Stroope. This is simply too good not to
consider for your choir. Omnia sol temperat, "the
sun warms everything," comes from a verse of
Latin found in "Carmina Burana." The composer's
English text speaks to the human need to anchor
words of love and commitment in the hearts
of those who have been pillars along life's way.
An important contribution to the choral literature!

For Good (from "Wicked")—
Stephen Schwartz/arr. Mac Huff.
From the
Broadway show "Wicked," which is a new take on "The
Wizard of Oz" from the witches' point of view, this is a tender,
expressive ballad with a touching lyric. "Like a comet pulled
from orbit as it passes a sun. Like a stream that meets a boulder
halfway through the wood. Who can say if I've been changed for
the better because I knew you, I have been changed for good."
Its message about how we can affect each other's lives is one
your students will easily relate to, and it will inspire them to sing
their best in performance! Highly recommended!
