May You Be Lifted Up

Rise Up, Shepherd Unruh Ssa/Tsax/Pf

This African song contains easy ostinato patterns that are simple to learn but sound wonderfully complex when all put together. An excellent selection for concert or festival use.

To Thine Own Self Be True

The message is so positive, so healthy, and the music just carries it effortlessly. Never has Shakespeare's words been set more simply and truthfully. An excellent spring concert selection for high school voices. Easy.

Life Has Loveliness

Commissioned by Manhattan Concert Productions and premiered at Carnegie Hall, this is a selection that celebrates the beauty of life. The writing is straight-forward, melodic and interesting. A strong high school concert selection that is easy to medium in difficulty.

Create in Me

Nick Strimple has composed a set of three easy anthems, and lacking in difficulty is absolutely true. But elegant and distinguished also describes these settings of familiar texts. This setting of Psalm 51 is for unison choir orsolo voice and organ accompaniment.

Ding Dong Merrily on High

Here is a Christmas carol set in a style reminiscent of the big band sound. This clever setting was releasaed for SATB just last year and was a run-away hit. This revoicing for SAB will enable more choirs to enjoy singing it. Easy to medium in difficulty.

Boats Sail on the River

The title is a bit deceiving because this Rossetti text is lauding the clouds of the sky over the boats and ships. Selected for the Judith Herrington series, this is a delightful song for children's choirs. A lilting 6/8 metercarries the flowing message steadily. Easy in difficulty.

Lost in Wonder, Love and Praise

Howard Helvey is known for his modern approach to hymnody. His melodies have breadth and grandeur, and his accompaniments carry the loftiness of a high cathedral. Yet his music sounds like it was meant for the congregation. Trulya hymn of praise it can fit most any season. Easy to medium in difficulty.

Hodie

A familiar Christmas classic, this arrangement begins with a chant-like opening. The carol emerges in a strong statement from the treble voices. The TB voices soon add responsive punctuations, then the parts move into a canon. The writing is simple but solid, easily learned and sounds impressive. Great for high school. Easy to medium in difficulty.

Quieta Nox: mysterium : (Silent Night: A Mystery)

Referred to as the Aleatoric Silent Night, this is a breakthrough arrangement that is easily learned with dynamic effect. After singing the well-known carol as we all know it, it blossoms into individual statements taht emerge freely in independent rhythms creating a cacophony of polyphony that embraces the listeners. Choirs are encouraged to include sign language to heighten the effect. Easy!

What Is Water?

The question in the title may seem abstract but learning that the poet was five and the profundity behind her thoughts is the first impressive moment. The first melody line holds the weight of the question. The second melody dances while your thoughts become dazzled. Returning to the first theme you enjoy the unanswered questions of the ages from the innocence of youth. Easy.

Sing Glory to the King!

This joyful and tuneful carol uses 12/8 to its fullest, bouncing between 4 dotted quarter notes to 6 quarters in a measure, and the effect is delightful. Smuggled into the piece is a touch of What Child is This. But his originalmusic is so strong it carries the day - a lovely verse and powerful chorus that is the title. Released in SATB just last year, it became a run-away hit, demanding this SAB revoicing. Easy to Medium in difficulty.

Peace to the World

The text is the familiar Dona Nobis Pacem (grant us peace), and the melody is a gentle cascading tune that is developed with ease. In the middle of the song is the most spectacular thing: an aleatoric rendering of the text in numerous languages that make the message even more profound. The performance possibilities are endless with ideas for choreography and sign language to heighten it further. Simple and yet meaningful, great for high school, churches, community choirs, and easy to medium in difficulty.

I Sing Because

Virtual choirs have sprung up all over the place as choirs find ways to stay connected during this pandemic. High School choral director, Chris Rust, was inspired to write about why we sing and the message has caught on. Choirs cannot wait to be singing next to each other again, and this will be a favorite then as it is for the virtual choir.

Waniska (Arr. Tate) (SATB)

The Cree Indians from the North American continent have a delightful morning song that has been artfully arranged by Brian Tate. Beginning with bird sounds the melody line is first presented by the sopranos. A pedal point is set by the tenors and basses as the altos take their turn with the tune. As with so many Tate arrangements, staging is easily a part of the presentation, as the simple lines cross and lift one another. Some suggestions are provided but each group will find their own path. Wonderful for high school, community choir and college. Easy to medium in difficulty.
