Dear Music Educator, Each year at Alfred Music, we greatly look forward to unveiling our sparkling new choral, classroom, and vocal releases. After all, this is when we get the opportunity to share our carefully chosen and educationally sound resources with talented conductors and teachers like you! But we know it doesn’t stop there; as a matter of fact, that’s only the beginning. Next, you’ll study our offerings, selecting only those pieces that speak to the artist in you, address the needs of your singers, or provide a tool to build your program. If you are like us, you value materials that equally showcase strengths and build skills. Sound about right? Then you’ve come to the right place—that’s precisely what we’re so very proud to present! This year we’ve included two special features:

Andy Beck Director of Choral Designs, Classroom & Vocal

Michael Spresser Director of Pop & Lawson-Gould

1. You’ll notice “Choral Classics” listed at the end of each musical category. These selections are tried-and-true chorals, not to be missed. Please visit alfred.com/choralclassics to see sample pages and hear recordings of this recommended repertoire. 2. We’ve scattered some helpful hints and teaching tips throughout this catalog. Each is designed to introduce you to, or remind you of, excellent rehearsal and/or performance practices that you might want to try this coming season. Please enjoy reviewing the latest and greatest from Alfred Music. We hope you will find not only exactly what you are looking for, but also that something special you’ve never even imagined!

Listen to the Wind

Words and music by David Waggoner A gently floating piano theme introduces an uplifting, nature-themed text in this sensitive piece for developing voices.

In the Arms of an Oak

Words and music by Andy Beck This special piece is a loving tribute to those who stand strong throughout life’s seasons and storms.

Highly recommended! n 2-Part (43591) �� $4.00 PianoTrax 8 CD (43590) �� $90.00

Mix It Up! Intonation, blend, and balance are often improved by placing singers in different choral formations. If you always arrange by section, try a mixed formation, standing in a circle, or even scattered back-to-back duets. 4

A Broadway Song

Words and music by George M. Cohan / arr., with additional words and music, by Sally K. Albrecht and Jay Althouse Cohan’s famous show tune gets a lively partner song treatment! A complimentary countermelody ensures that developing singers will perform the independent musical lines with success. Add the optional choreography (printed in the publication and on the Step One!

n SATB, a cappella (43592) �� $4.00 n SSAA, a cappella (43593) �� $4.00

Sing a New Song

Words and music by Dave and Jean Perry A perfect piece for exploring textures with intermediate choirs: an opening theme flourishes into well-conceived three-part polyphony, which is then balanced by a homophonic middle section before the counterpoint returns.

How Like a Winter

Words by William Shakespeare, music by Ruth Morris Gray The sorrowful text from Shakespeare’s 97th sonnet is artfully set for choirs with mature musical taste. Sing the liquid phrases with a beautiful line and observe the tempo nuances in order to attain the most expressive performance. Sublime. n SATB NEW!

Guys and Gals! Now and then, plan a special feature for just the women or just the men. Working with these targeted ensembles offers the opportunity to develop a solid section sound, as well as bolster team morale.

In the Evening

Words and music by Jay Althouse A unison pitch becomes a cluster chord and then blossoms into full contemporary choral harmony. Ample text painting, passing dissonance, and sensitive tempo and dynamic changes make this an excellent choice for accomplished choirs.

(A Partner Song with “Give My Regards to Broadway”)

Words and music by Sally K. Albrecht and Jay Althouse “Ask me to sing, and I’ll give you a part of my soul. Ask me to sing, and I feel happy and hopeful and whole.” Powerful as an opener, closer, or for a combined choir concert, this inspirational contemporary musical theater-style choral opens simply and builds to an exquisite finish. Don’t miss the choreography on the Step One! DVD and at alfred.com/video.

n 2-Part (45425) �� $4.00 PianoTrax 8 CD (43590) �� $90.00

Forget Not My Heart

Words by John Parker, music by Vicki Tucker Courtney A poignant original text is beautifully harmonized for women’s voices in this tender ballad.

GENERAL CONCERT & CONTEST / CHORAL DESIGNS

A Newer World

Words from “Ulysses” by Alfred, Lord Tennyson; music by Greg Gilpin Anthemic, heroic, and bold, the words of Alfred, Lord Tennyson spring to life through superb choral writing and a stirring piano accompaniment. A powerful opening theme builds to a final avalanche of sound, evoking the spirit of adventure. “To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.”

Words and music by Jay Althouse This haunting contemporary work features a wistful text about the departure of summer and the coming of winter. Rich, a cappella harmonies and thoughtful dynamics heighten the mood of this stunning piece. Impressive. n SATB, a cappella (45433) �� $4.00

n SATB (45436) �� $4.00 n SAB (45437) �� $4.00 n TBB (45438) �� $4.00

Love Those Languages! No matter the age, all choirs benefit from singing in foreign languages. Looking for a place to start? Latin texts are a wonderful way to teach vowel purity.

PianoTrax 8 CD (43590) �� $90.00

Pirate Story

Words by Robert Louis Stevenson, music and additional words by Kathleen Ballantyne A basket on a grassy meadow sets the stage for our journey through a child’s imagination. The delightful Stevenson text is set in a rollicking sea chantey style, with both voice parts given the opportunity to sing melodic and harmonic ideas. A small group adds another layer over the final vibrant chorus. n 2-Part (43601) �� $4.00 PianoTrax 8 CD (43590) �� $90.00

Light, You Will Have

Words and music by Amy F. Bernon Perfect for graduation or end-of-year concerts, mature choirs will revel in the lush harmonies and divisi writing of this artistic piece, with words and music of equal caliber.

Creative Concerts! When programming your performances, consider themes. These next three selections make a delightful concert set, while still offering variety from piece to piece. 14

Caterpillar

Based on a poem by Christina Rossetti, music and additional words by Ruth Morris Gray Based on a poem by Christina Rossetti, this creative treble choral will both educate and entertain. A playful piano accompaniment and agile choral parts reflect the inching of a caterpillar in motion. Sensible two-part writing allows every singer to take a turn on the main melody as well as a contrasting counterline. Delightful!

n SATB (43613) �� $4.00 n SAB (43614) �� $4.00 n 2-Part (43615) �� $4.00 PianoTrax 8 CD (43590) �� $90.00

The Itsy Bitsy Spider

This Is the Day!

Words inspired by Psalm 118, music and additional words by Sally K. Albrecht A triumphant fanfare motive is echoed across the choir before breaking into a joyous refrain, punctuated with rhythmic handclaps. Suitable for concert, festival, and church use, this celebratory choral features optional parts for trumpet and snare drum. n SATB (45372) �� $4.00 n SAB/3-Part Mixed (45373) �� $4.00 n 2-Part (45374) �� $4.00 SoundTrax CD (45375) �� $56.00

A Bit of Drama! Invite a choir member with an expressive speaking voice to read the text aloud just before performing a poetic piece. It adds a theatrical touch, plus enhances understanding for both singers and listeners.

The Bumblebee

Words and music by Sally K. Albrecht A true charmer! The original text cleverly hovers along the pitches of the major scale, and a slower middle section (in the parallel minor) provides a perfect opportunity to discover and discuss tempo and tonality. Sally’s staging suggestions are available on Step One! DVD and at alfred.com/video.

Dona Nobis Pacem
