Along the Way

Arranged by JAMEY RAY

Along the Way presents a message that we all need to hear in our world right now. The piece reminds us of the importance of friendships and encouragement throughout life’s journey. Robust lyrical writing is contrasted with contemplative a cappella section. Varied use of compound meter and occasional divisi provides an approachable challenge for any mixed choir. Along the Way is a wonderful addition to any concert or graduation program. (3:37)

My Jesus, I Love Thee Words and Music by Adoniram Judson Gordon Arranged by Jamey Ray This is a new setting of a beloved hymn by talented arranger Jamey Ray. The piece allows each voice part to be celebrated and offers a beautiful a cappella section in the middle. (4:50)

What could be better than a truly accessible setting of the classical patriotic piece by one of the rising stars in the choir arranging field. Jamey Ray uses his talents as the arranger of the popular group Voctave to present a rewarding and approachable patriotic closer for your choir. (3:37)

On This Silent Night

This truly lovely Appalachian folk song is given a hauntingly beautiful setting by arranger Jamey Ray. This will work nicely for a choir with strong women’s voices, with occasional divisi, but the men’s parts stay with a strictly two-part voicing. Simply gorgeous! (3:09)
