Also set as a children's book, this powerful text quite literally sings itself. With a divided bass ostinato and accessible harmonies, this a cappella work is a poignant tool to help young people discover their self-worth. Newly engraved and edited by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's work, this version includes a keyboard reduction, updated punctuation, and notes on the piece. A rhythmic and lively work with an important message!

No Mirrors in My Nana's House

SATBB Octavo

This piece begins with a brilliant toccata presented by the organ and quickly answered by the brass quintet. The dialog created in the opening of the piece continues throughout, creating an energetic listening experience.

Flourishes

Brass Quintet & Organ

The first two preludes were written in homage to the Debussy Preludes; the titles at the end in the manuscripts. They were inspired by the shores of Lake Superior in northern Michigan. The third prelude, Swing Set, is a virtuosic prelude which uses a twelve tone row in a playful way, first outlining it as a swinging bass line with counter rhythms that recall musical styles as diverse as Minimalism and Romanticism.  Gin Fizz is a rollicking blues-inspired piece and is lighthearted and fun. In C, Too uses the familiar pedal point of the repeated note C, but also channels Ragtime, and contains a few quotes from other works. Music, Pink and Blue was inspired by the Georgia O’Keeffe painting of the same name.

Collected Works for Piano

Piano Collection

From a set of three short works, this selection, written for VOCES8, explores the comfort of being with a loved one. With expressive lines that connect deeply to the text, the music features warm harmonies that offer moments of reflection and hope.

Stay with Me

SATB Octavo

This charming a cappella setting of the familiar carol has a bright, rhythmic ostinato pattern that moves between the sections of the choir. The Christmas story is told from the perspective of shepherds playing simple instruments - flutes and drums - the onomatopoetic sound of which gives the carol its name. "Pat-a-pan" is meant to mimic the sound of the drum, and an accompanying lyric, "tu-re-lu-re-lu," the flute.

Pat-a-Pan

This purely instrumental version of the composer's very popular choral setting of this classic spiritual moves metaphorically from tears, to falling to our knees, to asserting the strength that comes through faith and unity.

Let Us Break Bread Together

Violin, Viola, Cello Trio

Contents:1. In Flight 2. Quiet Paths, a Pond 3. Something Underfoot! (scurrying) 4. Interlude This Stillness 5. Celebration The Music of the Spheres.

All Nature Sings

Woodwind Quintet

A flowing piano accompaniment supports expressive choral writing in this arrangement of a traditional Irish sea song, giving it energy and warmth. More advanced ensembles will appreciate its lyrical style and accessible yet rewarding textures.

Ten Thousand Miles Away

TTBB Octavo

As recorded by Sweet Honey in the Rock, this extraordinary a cappella piece speaks of the precious gifts of life and loved ones. Newly updated by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's works, this version includes a keyboard reduction, additional dynamics, clarified vocal percussion, and notes on the piece. The mixed-choir versions are in the original key, while the treble version is transposed up a minor third. Enjoy this fresh engraving of the original choral treasure.

Wanting Memories

SATB Octavo w/ Solo Voice

This Robert Lowry hymn dates back to the 1800s in the United States. References to persecution, once thought to refer to early Quakers, may be heard in the modernized lyrics – yet faith and courage prevail. This arrangement emphasizes the celebratory and life-affirming aspects of the song.

How Can I Keep from Singing?

Four rhythmic ostinatos underscore the lilting melody in this work scored for a cappella mixed choir and solo or small group. Speaking to the hope found in each child that's born, this piece reminds each of us of our value and unity. Newly updated by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's works, this version includes a keyboard reduction, additional dynamics, and notes on the piece. A moving selection for school and community choirs.

We Are

SATBB Octavo w/ Solo or Small Ensemble

What library would be complete without this exquisite piece by Randall Thompson? A dramatic work on the text of II Samuel 23:3,4 that runs the spectrum of dynamics and demands vocal control.

The Last Words of David

Classic choral repertoire at its best! The combination of Robert Frost's remarkable text and the musical mastery of Randall Thompson make this selection an absolute must in any choral library. From the set of seven country songs on texts by Robert Frost.

The Road Not Taken

Robert Frost's outstanding text is magnificently enhanced by Randall Thompson's music in this choral standard for concerts and commencements. Thompson's setting of the entire Frost work "Frostiana" is a keystone of the choral literature.

Choose Something Like a Star

The delightful poem by Robert Frost in an equally delightful setting by Randall Thompson makes an excellent selection for more advanced treble choirs.

A Girl's Garden

SAA Octavo

Lush, slow-moving harmonies bring Sara Teasdale's text to life in an evocative and finely crafted a cappella setting. Advanced high school and collegiate ensembles, especially those inspired by the VOCES8 sound, will enjoy the challenge and beauty of this work.

Give Me Your Stars

SATB Octavo divisi or SSAATTBB

A true masterpiece for a cappella chorus. The name Randall Thompson is as much a part of choral music as is the voice. Once you've mastered this, you'll have a truly stunning performance piece. His masterful compositions are all standards in the repertoire. A choral classic!

Alleluia

Based on a short story about Viking sailors lost at sea encountering the dreaded Kraken, this rollicking original sea shanty is a rewarding challenge for mature tenor-bass choirs. The narrative text reads like a Norse poem, and the setting brings excitement and drama to the tale.

The Kraken

TTB Octavo

Originally composed as a dance theater piece, this sobering work should maintain a strict tempo. Written for a cappella mixed choir, the dense harmonic texture and drastic dynamic shifts help deliver the message that we must advocate for justice today. Newly updated by a scholarly committee dedicated to Dr. Barnwell's works, this version includes a keyboard reduction, additional dynamics, and notes on the piece. There is also an option for alternate voicing to make this piece more accessible to your singers.
