"Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream?" There are many beautiful moments in this lush setting of a poem by Edgar Allan Poe. Expressive and substantive writing, this is a work that better mixed or treble choirs will find rewarding.

A Dream Within a Dream

SATB Octavo

Andre Thomas is a master at the spiritual form, and his skill is clearly evident in this gem! Easy to sing tonally, but with divisi voices, the layers of sound and the constant rhythmic patterns add vitality and intensity and are sure to make this the highlight of your Christmas program! Add the optional congas and tambourine for that authentic effect. Don't miss the exciting new men's arrangement!

African Noel

This is different! Using a fictional language combined with a powerful English text, this exceptional piece effectively combines narration, rhythmic chanting and whispers, singing, vocal percussion, stomps with drum, and a driving piano accompaniment to create an atmosphere of drama and mystique. Not to be missed!

Bringers of Noise

SAB Octavo

Copyright Year

An exploration of light, shadow, and the elemental nature of fire, this enthralling selection captures the flickering spirit and raw power of a growing blaze through a mix of English imagery and rhythmic Latin chanting. Dynamic contrasts and choral effects – including accented handclaps and a dramatic final exhale – make this an exciting selection for school and community choirs.

Fire Dance

Featured in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, this shadowy cinematic selection has a secular text in both English and Latin. The haunting minor-key theme is harmonized in shimmering thirds that float above distant staccato chanting, and a minimalist piano part mirrors the film score's bell-like tones.

In Noctem

Voice Subcategory

An absolutely stunning setting of this beloved folksong.  This arrangement appears on festival lists year after year in its original mixed voicing, and is destined to do the same revoiced for treble and tenor-bass choirs.

Shenandoah

SSAATTBB Octavo

Fluid vocal lines and a sensitive text shine in this powerful, heartfelt recollection of a lost loved one. Perfectly capturing the essence of love that lives forever, it is at the same time both touching and haunting. For a cappella choirs, this will be warmly received in concert or memorial performances. "Quietly the strain falls out of tune. Shadows steal across a lonely moon. I miss you so..."

Jenny

Now all choirs can enjoy this famous hymn tune arranged by Alice Parker, originally written for the Robert Shaw Chorale. The strong walking pulse and juxtaposed motives have made it exceptionally popular for over 50 years.

Hark, I Hear the Harps Eternal

Written by the United Mexican States' first well-known female composer, this vals Mexicano (Mexican waltz) makes a charming a cappella work for high school, community, or collegiate choirs. The textured setting offers well-conceived choral parts throughout, sometimes using lower voices to provide a dance-like underscore for the lilting melody; an agile soloist is featured at the end. In Spanish throughout, a full translation and pronunciation notes assist in the understanding and mastery of the text.

Tipitin

Accompanied by a vibrant piano and optional hand drum, a driving echoed verse bursts into a dancelike mixed-meter refrain, brilliantly capturing the nature of Sara Teasdale's vivid poetry. The contrasting B section takes a more contemplative approach, gradually growing to a recapitulation of the spirited main chorus.

Lovely Chance

This is a comprehensive collection of two-, three-, four-, and five-part rounds. Highly recommended.

Rounds for Everyone from Everywhere

Unison Book

Translation: "I am one with the great spirit." Equally suited for mixed, treble, or tenor-bass choirs, this flexible arrangement opens with a Native American flute, the sounds of flowing water, and tuned singing bowls. This setting features solo voices and an original refrain in English that is later paired with the authentic tune.

Famously recorded by the Robert Shaw Chorale, this traditional spiritual has a very happy swing to it. The music perfectly reflects the joy of the text. It's one of the many fine spiritual settings from the Robert Shaw/Alice Parker collection.

Saints Bound for Heaven

Edgar Allan Poe's fast-flying words are brought to life in this vibrant, high-energy piece. Employing echo singing, chromaticism, and back-and-forth meter changes, this setting is one and a half minutes of pure excitement! The composer uses only the nonseasonal text, so it can be programmed year-round. It's an ideal feature for both your collaborative pianist and advancing treble singers, with plenty of cross-curricular options.

The Bells

SA Octavo

Textured choral writing glides effortlessly over a graceful piano accompaniment in this elegant setting of the text by Chilean poet and Nobel Prize-winner Pablo Neruda. Artistically done in a romantic choral setting, this original musical work embodies the romanticism of its lyrics.

Aqui Te Amo

Drawing on a variety of primary sources based on extensive field research, this set of three indigenous melodies from the island of Bali is presented in a charming suite for treble choirs. The piano accompaniments reflect compositional techniques that imitate the gamelan, a traditional Balinese instrument, and the harmonies are tastefully added allowing the melodies to shine. Translations and pronunciation guides are provided.

Three Balinese Folk Songs

Two-Part Octavo or SA

A vibrant a cappella setting of the beloved spiritual, this arrangement opens with a short and expressive solo and quickly breaks into a rhythmic groove featuring lively African percussion and powerful vocal harmonies. One Swahili phrase meaning "It's me, O Lord" punctuates the piece, including a soaring treble trio in the middle and an optional closing descant.

Standin' in the Need of Prayer

SATB Octavo with Percussion

Opening rubato, this robust work soon breaks into a driving gospel feel that will raise the roof! If you're looking for an anthem that will give your congregation a rousing worship experience, this is definitely worth a second look!
