Written to celebrate the unique beauty of unison treble voices, this contemporary piece highlights the importance of friendship and community. Flexible text options make it an excellent selection for all types of treble choirs and a great choice for a school concert, community event, or worship service. A dynamic piano accompaniment and a vivid poetic text help voices soar as they sing, "Won't you come with me? Be all we can be? Sharing joy and welcome, hope and courage, shining light that might encourage all God's children all around us to reach for what's next." The memorable melody resonates especially well with developing voices, and an optional descant helps bring the piece to an inspiring close.

Reach Toward What's Next

Unison Octavo

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.

The anthem is a clear call to visionary work and will be a fitting complement to themes of peace and justice, equality and welcome, outreach, witness, or community. Accessible for choirs of all sizes and abilities, don't miss this memorable selection.

Kama Muta

Already a classic in the Disney songbook, this reimagined version from the sequel series "High School Musical: The Musical: The Series" is sure to be a hit with your choir!

We're All In This Together

SATB Octavo w/ Duet or Small Group

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!

Inspired by Psalm 133, Hine Ma Tov is translated "How good it is for all of us to dwell together in peace."

It's an enjoyable original work that can serve many purposes!

Horizon of Harmony

A celebratory, highly rhythmic composition. The Swahili title means "We are one" - meaning all human beings have much in common. The energetic djembe sets the tone, the piano adds its own rhythmic design, and the singers dramatically deliver the message.

A cry for peace in a world torn by war, this poignant a cappella setting of an original text is filled with striking dynamic contrasts. "Sing, Be, Live, See... This dark stormy hour, the wind, it stirs. The scorched earth cries out in vain... But music and singing have been my refuge, and music and singing shall be my light..."

Earth Song
