"There will be rest, and sure stars shining over the rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest, serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful musical imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully crafted accompaniment, contrasting dynamics, and warm, colorful harmonies create a magical effect. This is an extraordinary choice for performances all year!

A creative depiction of the frenetic energy of a storm, this piece utilizes body percussion and drums to mimic the sounds one might experience during a storm. That, coupled with the descriptive text, make this piece worthy of study for your treble or women's choir. Truly exciting! 10735244 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.25 H The Storm Is Passing Over—Charles Albert Tindley/arr. Barbara W. Baker. This is a lot of fun! Even choirs with limited experience singing gospel music will be able to perform the syncopated and heavily accented vocal parts with ease. The final repeated chorus features stunning dynamic contrasts, hand claps and a dramatic ritard before the final ending. A very strong choice! 3093036 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 5467071 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 , H Sure on this Shining Night—Morten Lauridsen. "Sure on this shining night of starmade shadows round, kindness must watch for me this side the ground..." In this third movement of his song cycle Nocturnes, Morten Lauridsen's flowing music captures all of the beauty and wonder of James Agee's poem. Set for accompanied SATB voices (with some divisi), and now for TTBB, this is a superb composition for better choirs! 3303314 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 10606833 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10083682 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 n There Has to Be a Song—Andrea Ramsey. The text comes to spirited life as this gospel- style setting lauds the value of a song to improve the quality of our lives. Chord symbols are included for the addition of instruments or improvisation by the accompanist. This is a song that needs to be sung! 10186970 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 10186971 SA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 H Three Quotes by Mark Twain—Andrea Ramsey. This delightfully provocative piece for treble voices is based on three very short, witty texts by Mark Twain: The Silent Fool; Telling the Truth and My Dear Mother. The music changes with each short section, moving from ragtime to a waltz and finally to the blues. Great fun for all! 10080294 SA or Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 te Tongo (Polynesian Folk Song)—arr. Greg Gilpin. This traditional canoe song from Polynesia sounds very impressive with hand claps and percussion instruments adding to the choral texture. The echoing voice parts suggest people communicating from canoe to canoe as they travel between islands. The Polynesian text is simple, and a pronunciation guide is included. A refreshing change of pace in the multicultural category, this popular piece is now available for SAB. Highly recommended! 10752388 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.00 10515746 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10514270 TB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 H Tres Cantos Nativos—arr. Marcos Leite. This exciting work is freely based on three melodies sung by the Kurao tribe - a group of native Brazilian indians living in the forests of northern Brazil. Percussive rhythms and vocal layers are enhanced with live percussion instruments and effective hand claps to bring unique musical colors to your concert hall. A popular choice for festivals and all-state choirs. 5539655 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.75 H True Light—Keith Hampton. Opening phrases of the traditional spiritual This Little Light of Mine launch this exciting work into Keith Hampton's original words and music, which feature a sixteen- measure soprano solo sung to lines from tenth- century poet Grigor Narekatzi's Book of Mournful Chants: "Don't let the light that You've given me die, And don't desert my mind. But let the one who serves You Praise You again and again." The repeated responses "He lives in us as True Light" and "God gave the world True Light" give solid impact to every phrase. School and church choirs will revel in the spiritual depth and driving rhythmic feel of this extraordinarily soulful choral! 3700850 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.95 t Tshotsholoza (Go Forward)—Jeffery L. Ames. Now available for mixed or men's voices, this rousing arrangement of the popular African freedom song has become a standard in the choral repertoire. With call-and-response vocals, African text, and rhythmic percussion accom- paniment, it transports the listener to South Africa, where the song is often referred to as the "unofficial anthem" of the country. It was used in the soundtrack of the Oscar-nominated movie "Invictus," and served as South Africa's "battle call" at the 2010 World Cup. This is essential multicultural programming! Highly recommended! 10276407 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.45 3304220 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.75 4 Tue, Tue—arr. Ruth Morris Gray. Vocal ostinatos join one by one in the opening of this rhythmic arrangement of an authentic Ghanaian folk song. Unison lines, block triads, and a reset of the dynamics in the choral bridge are a blast. Repeated sections make for quick learning and easy memorization. Plenty of teaching moments here, along with a nice pulse and groove that choirs will enjoy. A pronunciation guide is included, and choreography is available on the When We Sing! DVD. 10752447 SAB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752448 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752449 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752450 TBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.90 10752451 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 27.99 10778379 DVD-When We Sing! . . . . . . . . 39.99 H Tundra—Charles A. Silvestri & Ola Gjeilo. Majestic scenes from Ola Gjeilo's native Norway inspired Charles Silvestri's text for this contemporary tone poem. The words and music are fused in a poignant, lyrical way to convey the intense beauty of the landscape. An excellent winter feature or festival choice for mature women's choirs. 10276418 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.55 10297376 Instrumental Parts . . . . . . . . . . 45.00 , Ht Ubi Caritas—Ola Gjeilo. Originally published for mixed voices, this stunning work has reached a large audience in a very short time, and has been published in SSAA and TTBB voicings as well, to meet the growing demand. The reviews are in — it is an exceptionally strong choice for every a cappella choir! 10025943 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.60 10046201 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 10067366 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.60 Ht Wana Baraka—arr. Shawn L. Kirchner. This upbeat Kenyan folk song is a popular choice for concert and festival choirs. The arrangement builds with great excitement, leading to an extensive rhythmic play on the word "alleluya." 3298859 SSATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.20 3303468 SSA. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.05 10054840 TTBB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 Ht Wanting Memories—Yasaye M. Barnwell. "I am sitting here wanting memories to teach me to see the beauty in the world through my own eyes..." As recorded by Sweet Honey in the Rock, this extraordinary a cappella piece speaks to everyone of the precious gift of life. 3225760 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 He When I Close My Eyes—Jim Papoulis. "When I close my eyes then I can see that I am not afraid." This song of confidence and hope for young voices resonates with positive lyrics, a strong melody and an expressive accompaniment for piano and cello. Written in ABA form, the message is enhanced with the contrasting middle section that is a clear declaration of belief in oneself. An enriching choral statement that we recommend very highly! 3299169 Two-Part. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15 10683354 SAB Cello & Piano Accomp. . . . 2.25 10086103 P/A CD . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 26.99 , 4t Will the Circle Be Unbroken—arr. J. David Moore. This wildly popular arrangement is a favorite with choral festivals all over the country.

A favorite for women's choirs, now available for mixed voices. 10704230 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95 10341993 SSAA . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.95 H Will There Really Be a "Morning"?—Craig Hella Johnson.
