This Little Light of Mine

Adapted from the gospel-style interpretation of the hymn His Eye Is on the Sparrow originally performed and recorded by the Georgia Mass Choir, this setting is an inspirational choice for gospel, church, and concert choirs.

I Sing Because I'm Happy

Boosey & Hawkes, Inc

"You are the source of my strength, You are the strength of my life..." This was a big contemporary hit a decade or more ago, and it is still as meaningful today in this powerful arrangement. "...I lift my hands in total praise to you."

Total Praise

Carl Fischer LLC

This gospel-style original draws inspiration from the work of the late Martin Luther King Jr. and others like him who worked to break down the barriers of racial discrimination and social injustice. A gripping Henry Van Dyke text delivers the powerful message: when we choose love and sing together in community, surely "peace and love will conquer hate and strife." A perfect concert closer!

Music Lead the Way

From two very important composers of our time, the lyrics in this monumental work challenge ideas of racism and discrimination, while the music combines jazz and traditional choral techniques. No Color offers choirs the chance to declare that no color can come between us.

No Color

SATB Octavo divisi

With text by William Edward Hickson, this song shares the important adage that "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again."

Lord, Make Me an Instrument of Thy Peace

This great gospel blues call-and-response song has been given a spirited treatment in a rousing rendition for tenor-bass chorus.

With an excellent tenor soloist and added bass and drums, this concert closer will bring down the house!

John, the Revelator

TTBB Octavo

Beckenhorst Press

This soulful setting of an original text invokes a gospel music tradition, preaching its text through declamation and bluesy harmonies: "God wouldn't bring you this far to leave you; no height nor depth nor anything else can separate us from the love that God will show." Your choir and audience will love the narrative episodes between refrains, the effective styling of the piano part, and the closing vamp that builds to its emphatic ending: "God will not ever let go!"

God Wouldn't Bring You This Far to Leave You

This is dynamite! Kirby Shaw's phenomenal arrangement of this Simon and Garfunkel hit ballad is contemporary choral writing at its finest. The light, harmonic a cappella opening is contrasted with this soaring, fresh, gospel-style setting. Optional solos showcase special voices. A must for show and concert choirs!

Bridge Over Troubled Water

Rhythmic, driving, and intense, this arrangement of the traditional spiritual with themes of home, journey, and trial is based on the 1950s Mahalia Jackson version with an Afro-Cuban beat. Add string bass (part available as a download from the publisher's website) and improvised percussion to the piano accompaniment for a truly dynamic performance that will excite your singers and audiences alike.

I'm on My Way

Once the gospel swing gets started, it just never lets up in this powerful selection that is a dynamic musical statement for today's choirs. Its 9/8 meter coupled with an expressive, hopeful text is compelling enough, but the bluesy piano accompaniment and the generous use of seventh chords make this a completely irresistible choral feature.

Shine on Me

This beloved anthem of the civil rights movement retains its gospel flavor in this accessible arrangement. With simple harmonies, it is appropriate for use by most choirs. A supportive piano accompaniment completes the authentic feel of this rousing selection.

Lift Every Voice and Sing

An exciting, unique arrangement of this wonderful African American spiritual, rich in texture and vibrancy and sure to invigorate any concert! With or without the rap section, and supported by piano and optional bass and percussion for three djembes and shaker, the upbeat soulful groove established by the choir is so fun to sing! The piano part is available as a free download from the publisher website.
