Tackling the issue of negative self talk, this powerful text encourages us to replace our negative thoughts with positive ones. Pointed, angular, and repetitive phrases represent the swirling thoughts in a person's mind which transform into affirmations in the final statement: "I am strong. I can do this."

Written in an accessible singer-songwriter style, this piece celebrates finding one's true self. A solo gives way to choral accompaniment figures, followed by duetting voices and, finally, a warm homophonic choral texture that broadcasts an affirming message through answering rhythms and clusters. The piano accompaniment is engaging yet easy enough for a student, with opportunities for improvisation.

Sweetly sentimental, John Howard Payne's text is beautifully set in this concert piece that can be effectively programmed for final concerts or graduation events. The verses feature first the upper voices and then the lower in unison before breaking into tender harmonies, and a flowing melody line gently carries the lyrics throughout.
