Perform it as a tribute to a significant individual or for the many gifts we experience as a part of the progression of life. 50600463 SATB div. a cappella���������������� $2.10 Craig Hella Johnson Clear Our Heart, O God Tom Trenney This musical setting of a contemporary text by J. Philip Newell celebrates self-awareness and openness to God’s message. With subtle shifts in tonality and wide swings in dynamics, harmonic complexity and textual clarity, this piece requires a mature choir. 50600484 SATB divisi����������������������������������� $2.10 Therefore, Music Craig Hella Johnson Written as part of the 50th Anniversary Tribute Concert of the Minnesota Chapter of the ACDA – “to the music teachers that have inspired us,” this text is expansive and can be used in any setting in which the intention is to invite awareness and recognition of the mysterious and loving tapestry of life. Woven into and between musical phrases is spoken narration, lifting up this extraordinary text by Michael Dennis Browne. 50600464 SATB�����������������������������������������������������������������������������������$1.95 You Do Not Walk Alone The Light of Common Day Dominick DiOrio Shawn Crouch This setting of a traditional Irish blessing speaks of those who give support in times of trial with a musical tapestry of unadorned a cappella mixed chorus, using soft dissonances and free-flowing counterpoint. The occasional divisi creates a sonic wash of color and overtones. Together in song, we do not walk alone. With a text excerpted from the poignant and insightful Wordsworth poem, composer Shawn Crouch has crafted music that flows as if one long line or brushstroke of continuous sound. 50600395 SATB�����������������������������������������$2.25 Dominick DiOrio Shawn Crouch 50600396 SATB div. a cappella����������� $2.10 Lodestar Andrea Ramsey Choral Series Dale Trumbore Opening with the phrase “How you wonder what you are,” this poem, described by the composer as a sort of “fable for adults,” is set for mixed voices with soprano solo as a work of lyricism and reassurance, intense, colorful, dissonant and worthy of the best choirs. 50600403 SATB div. a cappella�����������$2.25 Dale Trumbore Andrea Ramsey soft blink of amber light Jocelyn Hagen This piece, written for the Houston Chamber Choir for SATB divisi with flute, clarinet, marimba, cymbals and piano and with a text by poet Julia Klatt Singer is a multi-faceted tapestry of sound and color.

The melodic line in the opening section is constructed to evoke feelings of beauty, loss and remembrance. A middle section paints a picture of grief, reality, and the feeling of life spinning out of control. After the climax of this middle section, there is a return to a sense of calm, symbolizing that as time passes, we are able to come to terms with loss. 50600445 SATB����������������������������������������������������������������������������������$2.25 4 G. SCHIRMER CONCERT & FESTIVAL Er ist gekommen Leave My Heart Its Songs Clara Schumann/arr. Brandon Williams Dominick DiOrio One of four songs presented to Robert Schumann by his wife Clara, this setting is a shining example of the composer’s ingenuity, and is a wonderful introduction to Romantic era style and performance practice. A setting of a sonnet by Amy Lowell commissioned by the Smith College Chorus explores conflicting emotions one finds in a relationship. The broad and lyrical music evokes the passion of new love and the fear that one day it may end. With piano, two violins and viola. 50600446 SSA������������������������������������������� $2.10 50600402 SSA������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� $2.10 50600404 String Parts (Digital)������������������������������������������������ $15.00 Stars Brandon Williams Dale Warland Holy Harmony Stars and all things related to the night are prominent themes in much of Sara Teasdale’s poetry. The composer captures this unending excitement and wonder that the poet holds for stars in this beautiful and lush composition. Jonathan Adams This setting of an anonymous 15th century text mixes polyphony with homophonic writing, offering broad contrasts in dynamics and range/ tessitura that are appropriate for high school and festival choirs. The text offers deep meaning that will draw your singers in and resonate profoundly with them. 50600447 SATB div. a cappella�����������������������������������������������������$1.95 Sing Me to Sleep Stuart Chapman Hill The first release of the Andrea Ramsey Choral Series is an amazingly beautiful piece by Stuart Chapman Hill. The text (by the composer) is thought provoking and perfect for women’s choir in high school and up. The ranges are appropriate, the piano is supportive but independent. Stuart Chapman Hill 50600408 SATB divisi���������������������������������������������������������������������� $2.10 To a Young Child Dale Warland Written for the Clarion Chamber Chorale of Omaha, Nebraska, this Gerard Manley Hopkins poem Spring and Fall is full of beautiful, figurative and profound language. It speaks to the human condition in a compact way. And although the subject is complex, the message is simple and requires similar simplicity in performance with freedom and rubato in this powerful and inspirational composition. 50600407 SATB div. a cappella�����������������������������������������������������$1.95 Rollo Dilworth Choral Series 50600532 SSA�������������������������������������������� $2.10 Dale Warland Choral Series Rollo Dilworth An Old Irish Blessing Kevin Memley With lyricism and sonority, this is the perfect concert closer or graduation song, easily-learned and yet full and lush with immaculate craftsmanship. Dale Warland 50600466 SATB�����������������������������������������������$1.95 Charm Me Asleep Robert Sieving The atmospheric mood of this work set to a text by Robert Herrick is intended to suggest a brief moment between wakefulness and sleep as one drifts off to another realm.

Dominick DiOrio This short minute work is joyous, enthusiastic, and full of expression - a whirlwind ride for any chorus, full of agile rhythms, lots of words and great positive emotions.

SCHIRMER Jon Washburn Choral Series Sing No Sad Songs for Me Rob Teehan This text is adapted from a heartfelt poem by nineteenth century English poet Christina Rossetti.

David Archer The words of this Christina Rossetti poem are simple, but spiritually profound. They speak of trusting in unknowable things, and of appreciating the miracle of our existence. The music is lyrical and contrapuntal with wide dynamic contrasts and moments for your singers to express their individual musicianship. 50600422 SATB div. a cappella���������������������������������������������������� $2.10 Kirke Mechem Series La Llorona Jon Washburn This heartfelt Mexican folksong features altos for much of the melody, a strumming piano accompaniment (or harp), glistening women’s glissandi and a soaring soprano solo descant.

Such a child may turn out to be the voice that brings about the changes needed to remedy our relationship with the planet. This original and hopeful text by the composer is set in a unique, somewhat jazzy style. 50600424 SATB div. a cappella�����������$2.25 Lullaby Matthew Emery In this setting, the composer employs warm, lush harmonic language along with a lovely, lyrical treatment of the familiar bedtime poem by Thomas Dekker.
