GENERAL CONCERT & CONTEST Jubilate, Exsultate!

Music and additional words by Victor C. Johnson Contemporary choral harmonies and a driving piano accompaniment are the hallmarks of this exuberant setting of the traditional Latin text. A legato English language section in the middle provides contrast before an energetic return to the original material. Highly recommended for concert or contest! n SATB (46392)................................................................... $4.00 n SAB (46393).................................................................... $4.00 n SSA (46394).................................................................... $4.00

Count the Stars

Words and music by Andy Beck This tender song of remembrance features a poignant original text combined with Latin phrases from the Requiem Mass. Close cluster chords, beautifully sculpted phrases, and expressive dynamics leave the listener with a sense of awe and wonder. Not to be missed! n SATB (46366)................................................................................................................ $4.00 n SAB (46367).................................................................................................................. $4.00 n SSA (46368).................................................................................................................. $4.00

Words by Alfred, Lord Tennyson, music by John Leavitt Alfred, Lord Tennyson’s comforting text is beautifully set as a lullaby for SSA voices. The natural rocking motion suggests not only cradling the little one, but also the waters of the western sea, from which father may one day return. Arch-shaped phrases and carefully tuned cadences will highlight the stress and release of the musical line. n SSA (45596)..................................................................... $4.00 PianoTrax 9 (45595)........................................................ $90.00

If You Love Me

Words and music by Jay Althouse This emotive a cappella work radiates sincerity and musicality. The text is based on a 19th-century Pennsylvania German marriage fraktur, which is a kind of decorative calligraphy that commemorates important life events. Filled with lush contemporary chords and expressive nuances, this exceptional piece encourages artistry. n SATB, a cappella (45597)................................................ $4.00

I Will Sing

Words and music by Andy Beck A nature-inspired text reveals beautiful music all around “and if you listen closely,” even inside of yourself. Andy’s craftsmanship and artistic fingerprint are evident throughout— from the sparkling piano introduction and hushed opening phrase, to the memorable refrain, ascending bridge, and most surprising finish. Not to be missed! n 3-Part Mixed (45706)...................................................... $4.00 n 2-Part (45707)................................................................. $4.00

Echo

n SSATB, a cappella (45714)............................................................................................ $4.00

Words and music by Sally K. Albrecht Attention Orff educators! A pentatonic melody is sung in unison then echoed from part to part. Simple body percussion further engages students and ensures a kinesthetic rhythm experience. The ostinato accompaniment can be played on a piano or easily adapted for barred instruments. Optional shaker and drum add even more layers.

Singing Peace Canon

SoundTrax CD (45687)................................................... $56.00

Words and music by Sally K. Albrecht The bass section lays out a captivating minor key line, followed by the entrance of syncopated tenors. Altos add their percussive part, and the sopranos offer another layer in the exciting contrapuntal introduction of this dynamic concert and contest feature. In the middle, mixed and changing meters intensify the piece to its “voices resound” height just before the independent parts return. A joyful a cappella prize!

Traditional Melody / arr., with new words and music, by Donald Moore It’s a snap. Teach the melody (built around the tonic triad) in unison first and then the canonic choral parts will easily fall in place. Conservative vocal ranges fit singers of any age. An optional C-instrument adds a third voice to the graceful round. n 2-Part (45656)............................................................................................................... $4.00 PianoTrax 9 (45595)......................................................................................................$90.00

Lift Every Voice and Sing

Words by James Weldon Johnson, music by J. Rosamond Johnson / arr. Greg Gilpin This contemporary spiritual boasts a rich history as a song of liberation and has been dubbed the “Black American National Anthem.” Greg’s tour-de-force arrangement opens with a powerful unison before developing into thick gospel harmonies. Perform with the SoundTrax CD or the SoundPax parts for guitar, bass, and drumset. Both words and music will resonate long after the final glorious chord! n SATB (45680)................................................................................................................. $4.00 n SAB (45681).................................................................................................................. $4.00 n SSA (45682).................................................................................................................. $4.00 n TTB (45683)................................................................................................................... $4.00 n 2-Part (45684)............................................................................................................... $4.00

What Do the Stars Do?

Words by Christina Rossetti, music and additional words by Victor C. Johnson A delicate piano introduction leads the listener to an elegant setting of Christina Rossetti’s inquisitive poem. Well-conceived voice leading makes the fully realized choral harmony beautifully singable, and each voice part gets a turn with the celestial melody. Text painting, lyrical lines, warm suspensions, emotional range—it’s all here, ready to amaze audiences and adjudicators. n SATB (45657)................................................................... $4.00 n SAB (45658).................................................................... $4.00 n SSA (45659)..................................................................... $4.00

Te Deum

By Ruth Morris Gray Riveting and majestic, this contemporary setting of the traditional Latin text is sure to impress. Choirs both large and small will easily achieve a big sound. Modal harmonies convey a sense of urgency throughout, and an optional descant brings the piece to its dramatic close. n SATB (45649)................................................................... $4.00 n SAB (45650).................................................................... $4.00 n TBB (45651)..................................................................... $4.00

GENERAL CONCERT & CONTEST Like Dust I Rise (A Choral Song Cycle) Music by Mark Hayes, text by Maya Angelou

This stirring set includes four individual movements that may be performed separately or combined into a 12-minute song cycle.

The Lighthouse

Words and music by Andy Beck The title of this piece never appears in the lyrics, but provides an overarching metaphor for the text. Themes of strength, guidance, and living by example are at the heart of this inspiring choral. Superb voice leading makes the warm harmonic twists and turns accessible for any age choir, and the ebb and flow of the piano represents a turbulent sea. Expressive and elevating! n SATB (46386)................................................................... $4.00 n SAB (46387).................................................................... $4.00 n 2-Part (46388)................................................................. $4.00

Jazz Kyrie

By Andy Beck Bossa nova (Portuguese for “new trend”) is a musical genre that began in Brazil in the 1950s. The combination of samba rhythms, jazz sonorities, and lyrical melodies created a new, sophisticated style that was soon embraced by musicians worldwide. Here’s a quintessential bossa nova on just three Latin words. Optional flute and/or vibraphone (available free online) add another smooth layer to this hip contemporary choral. n SATB (45613)................................................................... $4.00 n SAB (45614)..................................................................... $4.00 n 2-Part (45615)................................................................. $4.00

On the Pulse of Morning

In 1993, Maya Angelou recited this poem at the inauguration of President Bill Clinton, making her the first African American and the first female poet to deliver an inaugural recitation. Subsequently, Angelou’s audio recording of “On the Pulse of Morning” won a Grammy Award® for “Best Spoken Word” in 1994. Mark Hayes opens with a resounding “See Me Rise” choral fanfare before presenting the hope-filled latter half of the poem with rhythmic exuberance.

Caged Bird

A folk-like setting of Maya Angelou’s empowering poem, which compares a bird’s longing to be liberated with that of all people. Hayes chooses a minor key with plenty of harmonic tension and a walking tempo that suggests the footsteps of those who have come before. The final Picardy third is the ultimate symbol of freedom.

Equality

This contemporary gospel-style rouser denounces oppression and serves as a choral anthem for equal rights. A confident solo voice helps deliver a determined message in the unwavering words of Maya Angelou. If performing as a set, an alternate ending segues directly into the closing movement of “Like Dust I Rise.” When performing separately, Mark Hayes includes an upward modulation that propels us to the final, most spirited refrain.

Is It Music?

Words and music by Nick Page This change-of-pace charmer recreates the conversation between a pair of birds as they observe children singing. The birds consider what the sounds are, why the sounds are made, and most importantly, “Is it music?” Kids will embrace telling the animated story with playful tempo shifts, dramatic fermatas, comic interjections, and a tender final realization that, “Yes, it’s music!” Optional clarinet and string bass parts are available for free online.

Words by Christina Rossetti, music by Jay Althouse This text-driven setting of Rossetti’s treasured poem is top-tier. A well-developed choral interlude sounds like swirling winds with legato lines and captivating harmonies to spare. Most notably, Jay’s masterful text painting weaves the sound of the breeze throughout. Artful. Haunting.
