This original work sets a well-known Emily Bronte poem in a lyric song style. Flowing vocal lines and rich musical colors offer choirs many opportunities for expressive singing. The SATB version is adapted and arranged by Jacob Narverud.

Autumn Vesper

SATB Octavo

Choristers Guild

"We have a secret, just we three, the robin, and I, and the sweet cherry tree. The bird told the tree and the tree told me, and nobody knows it but just us three!" This charming anonymous text captures much of the essence of childhood - playfulness, a close connection to nature, and the irrepressible exuberance which makes keeping juicy secrets virtually impossible. This delightful setting features a cheerful melody along with impetuous meter shifts and playful dynamic contrasts to create an engaging concert piece for young choirs.

We Have a Secret

Two-Part Octavo

Heritage Music Press

The haunting yet whimsical quality of this piece, almost folk-like in nature, is truly refreshing! The lyrics center around a child who loves to sing during the day while playing, and at night "cries for those who have never loved and for those who never sing." These words will stir the emotions of all who hear them, and the lovely, flowing music really lets them shine!

She Sings ...

Hal Leonard Corporation

Treble choirs will appreciate this empowering text that invites us all to begin the process of reclaiming and healing those parts of ourselves that are, at the same time, both vulnerable and powerful. This music is modern and raw with notated parts for body percussion and cajon. An opening unison a cappella section sets up the rhythmic feel of these in-your-face lyrics and style, and the piano joins later to provide extra support and texture for the stacked harmonies. Powerful!

Never One Thing

SSA Octavo

This is a truly unique and very effective selection for two-part male or treble voices! Ideally suited as a festival opener, processional or concert piece, this modal, chant-like work with optional hand drum is easy to prepare and will lend a mysterious, medieval character to your performance! Stunning!

Medieval Gloria

TB Octavo

This joyous and rhythmic a cappella celebration of hope, joy and peace is perfect for developing choirs. Your students will appreciate the high performance value, and you'll love the easy harmonic layering patterns and independent vocal lines that make learning a snap. Add the lively djembe part for an authentic East African flavor. A pronunciation guide and translation are included.

Baraka na Wewe

Three-Part Mixed Octavo

Boosey & Hawkes, Inc

If you're looking for something different in a "music" song, consider this original inspired by the native music of Venezuela. Full of infectious rhythms and playful melodies, with some very effective hand claps, it conveys a positive message through charming Spanish lyrics which are great fun to sing.

Yo le Canto Todo el Dia

Santa Barbara Music Publishing

This gently rocking sea shanty was generally reserved for the end of a long voyage when the sailors would be leaving the ship. The "her" in the song refers to the ship, and the lyrics express the hardships of the voyage. This lyrical arrangement is ideal for beginning tenor-bass choirs. The musical setting is often in two parts but expands occasionally to three parts in this easily learned version.

Leave Her, Johnny

TTB Octavo

Colla Voce Music LLC

If you're looking for something a little different to perform in the spiritual style, take a close look at this nicely rhythmic setting by Greg Gilpin. Interlocking vocals sing over a pulsating piano accompaniment that interprets a text of joyous anticipation, awaiting the Lord's coming. For school or church choirs, this is a refreshing and satisfying work that will be enjoyed by all who hear.

Keep Your Lamps Trimmed and Burning

Fred Bock Music

This work is pure magic! Short rhythmic phrases repeating and building on top of one another, contrasting sections, a dynamic and rewarding conclusion. The traditional Latin text makes it appropriate for sacred or secular performance.

Non Nobis, Domine

"There will be rest, and sure stars shining over the rooftops crowned with snow, a reign of rest, serene forgetting, the music of stillness holy and low." This masterful setting of Sara Teasdale's picturesque poem sparkles with wonderful musical imagery! Soaring melodic lines, an artfully crafted accompaniment, contrasting dynamics, and warm, colorful harmonies create a magical effect. This is an extraordinary choice for performances all year!

Stars I Shall Find

Mary Lynn's prowess in writing for developing voices is clearly evident in this joyous original. Not only will it fit your chorus like a glove, but the expert layering of melodic and rhythmic ideas flows so naturally, your singers will learn it quickly and perform it with gusto. Vibrant!

Celebrate with Jubilant Song

This very accessible piece pairs a beautifully written vocal and piano score with the Langston Hughes poem that warns us to "Hold fast to dreams... for when dreams go, life is a barren field frozen with snow." With multiple voicings, it can work well for any choir from middle school or older and is a perfect choice for graduations or any event when you want to inspire.

Hold Fast to Dreams

A perennial festival favorite, particularly for younger choirs, the arranger catches the mood of the train theme of the piece in a most artistic and delightful fashion.

Nine Hundred Miles

Voice Subcategory

A joyful original based on a text by Ruth Dwyer. For unison voices with an optional second part accompanied by piano.  A part of all-state lists as well as church music festivals around the country.  While slightly challenging, this composition is extremely well written and will be an excellent addition to any worship or concert setting.
