Keep Yo' Lamps

SSATB Octavo

Here is a traditional Lakota lullaby sung by mothers to their young boys. The Lakota language has become nearly extinct, but composer/arranger Linthicum-Blackhorse has made it his life's work to bring the language back to life. In this arrangement, the IPA pronunciation guide is included in the body of the music in order to make it accessible to all singers and choirs. Dedicated to the victims of the Robb Elementary School mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Chante Waste Hoksila

Written in answer to a call for connection in troubled times, this song is about persistence, community, and moving ahead. "One foot in front of the other" is a metaphor for determination and forward motion. The composer speaks of "love warriors" like Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Mother Teresa, and Gandhi - all of whom started their movements out of love for their people, not out of hatred of someone else.

Lead with Love

Premiered at the 2021 ACDA National Conference.

Invictus

TTBB Octavo

Fix Me, Jesus

This arrangement by one of America's leading arrangers of spirituals captures the pain of this world while celebrating the hope of the life yet to come. Though slow in tempo, it has a strength, energy and drive about it. A short tenor solo which encourages some ad lib and the use of the full range of all of the voices makes this arrangement truly stand out. Worthy of the best tenor/bass choirs but accessible by all tenor/bass choirs, this is a must-have.

Steal Away

Ideal to program at Christmas or throughout the year, this arrangement from one of the most respected arrangers of traditional spirituals is a perfect message of peace for mixed or tenor-bass high school, community, or collegiate a cappella choirs. The message of the song encourages us to be good humanitarians, soldiers for peace, and an example of hope for others.

Hold Out Your Light

Given everything our communities, choir, and world have experienced recently, we could all use a bit of light! This music encourages us to tend to our hearts and to others, remembering that each of us has the power to bring light into our own lives - and into the lives of others.
