The traditional Latin text and original musical setting help to express our hope for peace and healing for our world, as well as to give space to honor and mourn all that has been lost. Part of the five-song May You Heal Project, these titles offer music of comfort, peace, renewal, and self-awareness as part of our pandemic recovery. The cycle in its entirety: When Science Triumphs; Dona Nobis Pacem; May You Heal; Responsibility; I Celebrate Myself.

Dona Nobis Pacem

SATB Octavo divisi

Editors Choice Year

Series

Santa Barbara Music Publishing

Traditional Latin phrases are interspersed with lines of English text in this rhythmic and exciting sacred work for more advanced tenor-bass choirs in high school and beyond. Layered vocal writing with closer modern harmonies is punctuated with a driving piano accompaniment that heightens the syncopated rhythms and mixed-meter setting. Sing it at Christmas or throughout the year.

Hodie

TTBB Octavo

Broude Brothers

Probably Faure's best-known and most frequently performed work next to his Requiem. The lovely melodic lines are over triplet figures in the accompaniment, which can be done on piano, harp, or with a small orchestra.

Cantique de Jean Racine

SATB Octavo

BriLee Music Publishing

Utilizing a classical style of composition, this piece just might transport you back to the time of Mozart! Full of educational opportunities, the musical style and interpretation is authentic sounding, and the Latin text, generous doubling, and well-supported choral parts make this an easily learned concert or festival choice that is sure to impress.

Exultate Justi

SAB Octavo or SA(T)B or Two-Part Mixed (opt. tenor)

Neil A. Kjos Music Company

Your congregation will immediately recognize the familiar old Irish verse in this setting that is appropriate as a benediction or when saying farewell to a beloved member. "And until we meet again, May God hold you in the palm of His hand." Now choirs from adult to children may enjoy this delicate and expressive work, and you might think of combining choirs for a particularly effective musical offering.

Blessing

Heritage Music Press

The Hornpipe movement from Handel's "Water Music Suite" has been creatively adapted for voices, complete with an original text: "Cantate Deo... Sing alleluia... lift your voice and sing with joy forevermore." With its contrapuntal texture, imitative vocal lines, and piano and optional B-flat trumpet accompaniment, this familiar melody sets up a concert or festival selection that really shines.

Cantate Deo

Three-Part Mixed Octavo

Alliance Music Publications, Inc.

This a cappella setting of Matthew 18 in Spanish has attracted a lot of attention, and has already seen considerable festival activity. The English translation of the text is also shown: "Where two or three are gathered in My name, there will I be also."

Esto Les Digo

Oxford University Press

The delicate melody befitting this familiar text gains gentle momentum by a continual movement in the keyboard. A quintessential piece for spring from renowned composer John Rutter.

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Shawnee Press

This familiar song sounds and feels as if it has always been a part of the folk song or spiritual genre. In this a cappella setting, optional percussion can be utilized to enliven the texture. Equally appropriate in concert or worship settings, this wonderful arrangement offers solo opportunities and creative new melodic material before the final refrain. A perennial favorite.

Shut de Do

Voice Subcategory

Boosey & Hawkes, Inc

Aaron Copland's quintet from "The Tender Land" translates beautifully into this setting for combined chorus with band! Although it makes a perfect choice for Thanksgiving, the wonderful vocal lines make it a magnificent showpiece any time of year. The SATB choral part can stand alone, and offers a piano 4 hands accompaniment. The optional concert band accompaniment is at the medium level and requires the choral part for performance. It's a fantastic way to program music by a great American composer!

The Promise of Living

SATBB Octavo

Pavane Publishing

This energetic and celebratory piece opens in a 7/8 that absolutely dances and graciously returns for a joyous conclusion after the middle section poetically expresses the beauty of creation. The SATB voicing can be sung together with the SSA voicing. A great festival piece!

Awake, My Soul, and Sing!

SSATB Octavo

Galaxy Music Corporation

This gospel-inspired opening to "A Vision Unfolding" provides a powerful introduction to themes of justice, equality, and unity. Robert Bode's text asks for God to reach down with justice in times of tribulation and calls us to reach out to those who may be struggling. A memorable melody acts as a mantra, inspiring others to heed the call of justice.

Reach Down, Lord

The Sanctus, including the Benedictus, is a joyful celebration and acclamation, part of the Mass ordinary and canonical hours. Here, as it stands alone, it is all of that and more. This powerful and inspirational gospel-style arrangement includes a piano accompaniment that does not disappoint!

Sanctus and Benedictus

Beautiful modern a cappella divisi harmonies set this short text in both Latin and English that encourages us all to find the hope within. Sections alternate between serene slow-moving harmonies and quicker places that utilize more rhythmic layers to propel the work forward. Stunning!

Alleluia Votum

Walton Music

This curious text depicts a town in southwest England with ties to the Arthurian legends, the Holy Grail, and the story of Joseph of Arimathea. Beautifully crafted, the music soars and weaves, painting the many pictures of the beautiful story.

The Glastonbury Thorn

SATB Octavo or SSATB

A profoundly moving text, written on a cellar wall during the rise of Nazi Germany, joins with original music to create a deeply emotional expression of hope. With brief narration and the echo of a Russian folk melody, this is an important contribution to the concert repertoire for more discerning choirs!

Inscription of Hope

Hampton Roads Music Group, LLC

An elegant choice for concerts or services, this setting of a traditional Latin liturgical text is for a cappella choir with optional solo or descant. Beautiful close harmonies and straightforward rhythms keep it accessible, and a helpful translation and pronunciation guide are also included.

Veni Sancte Spiritus

The ancient joy-filled word "Alleluia" is paired with contemporary harmony and gently syncopated rhythms that sometimes function as an ostinato. Independent parts weave in and out to create a brilliant musical tapestry, which includes a contrasting, more lyrical middle section. For Christmas or general use, this work will admirably showcase the abilities of mature ensembles.

Alleluia

Based on a Latin translation of Psalm 3:4, this song takes the listener on a musical and emotional journey. With a driving piano accompaniment throughout, the first half of the song uses a minor mode and dissonance to convey a sense of despair, while the second half features a peaceful major mode to depict relief and joy.

Voce Mea

Carl Fischer LLC

Beginning in the heart of turbulence, this setting of Coty Raven Morris' text captures the feeling of being swept into a storm and, instead of fighting it, finding calm within ourselves. The work concludes with a thoughtful nod to the Tindley hymn The Storm Is Passing Over, bringing the journey to a reassuring close of peace and resolve. Perfect for high school choirs.
