He Al Shlosha D'varim—Allan Naplan. Al Shlosha
D'varim is a lyrical setting of an essential maxim
from Jewish morality laws, translated to mean:
"The world is sustained by three things: by truth,
by justice, and by peace." Available for SA or
mixed voices and piano, this has become a
standard in the choral repertoire.

4t Ave Generosa—Ola Gjeilo. This setting of Hilde-
gard von Bingen's Ave Generosa text uses a
hauntingly joyful tonality, paying homage to the
mysterious story of Mary. A beautiful middle
section is surrounded by contrasting modal
beginning and ending sections. The juxtaposition
of sustained and moving moments holds true
to the composer's style, while the harmonic
structure and vocal construction offer very fresh
textures. Highly recommended!

4 Babethandaza—arr. Victor C. Johnson. Exuding
sizzling, rhythmic energy, this traditional South
African folk song arrangement is a multicultural
programming winner! A cappella, with percussion
parts included for shakers, djembe, and hand
drum which add authentic texture and flavor. With
some elements of call and response and clever
layering of parts, it is singable and easily learned.
A helpful pronunciation guide and translation
for the Swahili text is also included. Highly
recommended!

n Ballade to the Moon—Daniel Elder. "...Come
sing with me! The twinkling sky casts forth
its tune: O must I leave thy charms so soon?
I weep with joy beneath the moon." Marked
Adagio Misterioso, this evocative work has been
appearing on festival lists all over the country, and
for good reason - it is an important contribution to
the choral repertoire.

H Battle Hymn of the Republic—Peter Wilhou-
sky/arr. Russell Robinson. The Wilhousky setting
of this 19th century hymn is possibly the most
heartfelt musical pronouncement of American
patriotism. Divisi sections in all parts are accessible
and still richly expressive with harmonic colors
and sweeping dynamic contrasts. Emotional and
highly effective, it is a truly magnificent setting
that may be performed with band or orchestral
accompaniment. It's also the one chosen most
often by U.S. military ensembles.

Ht The Battle of Jericho—arr. Moses Hogan. This
setting of the traditional spiritual is a showpiece
for better choirs and a superlative example of
the compositional skills of Moses Hogan. From
the opening ostinato rhythms to the thrilling
conclusion, the drama and intensity of this work
is truly extraordinary.

He Bonse Aba—arr. Victor C. Johnson. Sizzling with
celebratory rhythmic energy, this African folksong
loosely translates as: "Those who sing have
the right to be called the children of God." The
only accompanying instruments are hand drum
(treble drum), djembe (bass drum), and shaker,
which add authentic flavor and opportunities for
improvisation. The vocal parts are easily learned
due to their repetition and call-and-response style.
Highly recommended!

soulful spiritual arrangement, expertly edited by
Henry Leck of the Indianapolis Children's Choir.

H Cornerstone—Shawn Kirchner. The composer
pulls out all the stops on this gospel piece. The
piano part soars; the tenor soloist dramatically rises
above the choir. Long a favorite of SATB choirs,
men now have their chance to enjoy this one.

4 Count the Stars—Andy Beck. A poignant
original English text combined with Latin phrases
from the Requiem Mass lays the foundation for
this tender song of remembrance. Deeply emotive
musically, with exquisite lyricism, this piece was
commissioned by the classmates of a high school
student who passed away to honor his memory.
Contemporary cluster chords, beautifully sculpted
phrases, and expressive dynamics leave the
listener with a sense of awe and wonder.

H Dirait-On—Morten Lauridsen. This exquisite
work is the fifth of a set of choral settings of poems
by Rainer Maria Rilke entitled Les Chansons des
Roses. With velvet choral lines and a pensive
mood, it is a deeply expressive musical statement
for more accomplished choirs.

He The Dream Keeper—Rollo Dilworth. A persistent
underlying rhythm gives this setting of the Lang-
ston Hughes poem a powerful, mysterious drive.
"Bring me all of your dreams, you dreamers. Bring
me all of your Heart melodies, that I may wrap
them in a blue cloud cloth away from the too-
rough fingers of the world..." Use conga drums to
enhance the impact of this compelling work!

Ht Earth Song—Frank Ticheli. A cry for peace in a
world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting
of an original text is filled with striking dynamic
contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy
hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries
out in vain... But music and singing have been my
refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

Ht Esto Les Digo—Kinley Lange. This a cappella
setting of Matthew 18 in Spanish has attracted a
lot of attention, and has already seen considerable
festival activity. The English translation of the text

in My name, there will I be also."

t Even When He Is Silent—Kim Andre Arnesen.
Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in Trond-
heim, Norway, Even When He Is Silent masterfully
expresses the sentiment of the text - hope in
times of despair. Beautifully melodic, with rich
harmonic texture, this is a stunning work for better
a cappella choirs! "I believe in the sun even when
it is not shining..."

Ht Famine Song—arr. Matthew Culloton. This
unique a cappella work captures the drama of
the survival of the Sudanese people during the
famine of the 1980s. "Ease my spirit, ease my
soul, please free my hands from this barren soil.
Ease my mother, ease my child, earth and sky
be reconciled..."

H For the Beauty of the Earth—John Rutter. John
Rutter's engaging melody over a flowing accom-
paniment is equally beautiful in either the SATB
or SA treatment. If you haven't already, consider
the instrumental accompaniment for a fresh per-
spective on this sacred gem. Scored for strings,
winds, harp (playable on keyboard), and drums,
it includes instrumental lines that are as lovely
as the vocal lines. A perennial favorite, this is a
tasteful blend of text and musical expression.

He Galop (from "Solfege Suite")—Ken Berg. Have
you ever tried to ride an accelerating horse while
singing solfege? That's what your singers will
feel like as they negotiate their way through this
quickly-paced song with only solfege syllables
for text! Full of fun and teaching opportunities,
this creative original is the quintessential concert
closer or encore piece. Your audience might ask
you to sing it twice anyway! A total blast!

Ht Gaudete!—arr. Michael Engelhardt. From Piae
Cantiones, this setting of Gaudete! is in a progres-
sive style, yet well suited to the medieval melody.
Its energy is derived from the accented rhythms
and dance-like percussive elements, all adding to
the joyous nature of the piece. Percussion parts
for four players are available separately.

Nunez. Expressing a powerful message of hope
for a better world, this dynamic piece strikes
a universal chord for all to hear! The quiet and
subdued opening gradually builds to a dramatic
musical statement using hand claps and short
solos for a climactic ending. "Give us hope and
we'll show you the way." Highly recommended!
