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

Series

Voice Subcategory

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

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

Editors Choice Year

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)

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

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

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

This traditional Latin hymn is simple, singable, and elegant. Easy vocal layering lets the voices sing in independent parts as they dovetail one another before joining in a quiet chordal ending. Accessible for young voices and exquisitely beautiful!

Ubi Caritas

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

Alliance Music Publications, Inc.

A dramatic original work that sets text from Revelation 8-11, this virtuosic and exciting work isolates one apocalyptic sequence – the sounding of seven trumpets, each one heralding a more horrific event than the trumpet before it. A few short lyrical solo lines in the middle break up the frantic pace of the beginning, then beautiful homophonic harmonies bring a tranquil contrasting section before a reprise of the dramatic opening melts into a soft but ominous closing.

Revelation

SSATBB Octavo

This lovely work for treble voices and piano is a lyric, fluid rendering of the familiar text from the Book of Hours (1541). Elegantly simple, it offers the opportunity for young choirs to explore tone, blend, and musical sensitivity while offering a message of comfort. An ideal way to close a concert or service.

God Be in My Head

SA Octavo or Two-Part

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.

Don't Calm the Storm

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

Timothy C Takach Publications

Beatitudes

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

Sara Teasdale's poem of thanks inspired this beautiful, melodic setting for a cappella choir. A quiet opening builds into a gorgeous, resounding climax before coming to a more reflective, thankful close. The piece could provide a tender, thoughtful ending to a concert, or be part of a theme of thanksgiving.

Grace Before Sleep

An original work in a neoclassical style, this offers the opportunity for younger choirs to sing this Latin text in a polished and mature style that will help them sound amazing! In a variety of voicings, all of which are really just two parts, this accessible piece is sure to impress at concerts or festival performances.

Veni, Sancte Spiritus

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

Walton Music

This vigorous work based on Psalm 98 employs alternating 3/4 and 6/8 meter with excellent effect. The frequent changes of meter, percussive quality of the accompaniment, and nontraditional chord structure show the influence of Spanish music on the composer. The piece is short and quickly learned, with lots of excitement to make it a good opener.

Shout for Joy

Here's an exciting work that will make a great concert opener! Mostly in 7/8 meter, it will give a nice but achievable challenge to your chorus. A good selection for honor choirs and festivals! "Let everything that hath breath praise the Lord!"

Praise Ye the Lord
