We Are Fed

Rise Up to Greet the Morning Dawn

SATB Octavo

Here's a joyous opener with handbell accompaniment to add some sparkle to your holiday concert or service. The 15th-century text is a familiar though slightly updated excerpt of Wolcum Yole from Benjamin Britten's "Ceremony of Carols." The choral harmonies have an open, ancient feel that matches the text. This piece was commissioned and premiered by the Rochester Choral Arts Ensemble as part of their Ketterling Carol series.

Welcome Yule

A driving gospel number fun for both your choir and pianists with its full 4-hand piano accompaniment. Based on Psalm 118 "This is the day the Lord has made".

Rejoice and Be Glad

SATB Octavo Piano Four Hands Accompaniment

Based on Hildegard of Bingen's traditional chant and inspired by her agile and hypnotic lines, this piece emulates its text about the wind. Xylophone obbligato, finger cymbals, and tambourine heighten the intensity of the flowing vocal lines.

Aer Enim

SSA Octavo with Percussion

"I'm not the person I used to be, I'm not the person I want to be, but I'm becoming... home to myself." This simple original song of individual growth and self-discovery is an ideal choice for younger treble choirs. The contemporary ballad setting is easily learned and can be meaningfully performed for moving-up ceremonies, graduations, or any concert setting.

I Am Becoming

Two-Part Octavo or SA

With a classic text by Walt Whitman, Each of Us speaks to our shared humanity and rights, the responsibility we have to the earth and its blessings, and our limitless human possibilities. The piece starts with the energy of individual and diverse voices, each perfect and worthy to be celebrated. As they multiply and come together, the gathering, relentless rhythmic intensity makes clear the power of the collective voice that is the very heart of choral music.

Each of Us

This innovative work tackles some of the most pressing environmental crises in recent history. The choir sets the scene with an urgent ostinato before shifting to storytelling mode, giving details of natural disasters and their effect on the planet. Each voice part portrays a different element, using singing, stomping, breath, sandpaper, and pouring water to elicit the sounds of the earth. The final line states, "We are in a new abnormal." An evocative work for advanced choir.

Elemental

SATB Octavo divisi

Composed for the Voices of Hope, a women's prison choir, this powerful text written by a choir member speaks to all of us who are in need of any kind of help. Set with just a bass line, the choral lines stand independently and bring an urgency and undeniable groove that makes you want to sing along.

Lift Me Up

SAB Octavo

With just flute accompaniment, the otherwise a cappella setting of an anonymous 16th-century carol from Gascony is a unique Christmas selection with a Middle Eastern feel that evokes the timelessness of the desert landscape.

Winds Through the Olive Trees

SATB Octavo with SSA Treble Choir

Made popular by artists like Joan Baez and Dolly Parton, this traditional Appalachian folk song is narrated from a young woman's perspective, telling of lessons she learned from her mother's struggles. This arrangement is an empowering choice for treble choirs wanting to express their inner strength and wisdom.

Silver Dagger

SSA Octavo divisi

This atmospheric setting for treble voices of the traditional Song of Mary and Song of Simeon texts is unaccompanied with a meterless feel. Set with English lyrics, both movements shimmer with assertive dissonances and soaring text painting.

Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis

SSA Octavo  or SSAA

Perfect for younger singers, this song blends the positive message of spreading peace, love, hope, and joy with an upbeat tune. The text is based on a quote from Mother Teresa. The setting may be performed by unison choirs, or with an optional descant to create a two-part texture. Add ukulele for extra fun!

Peace Begins with a Smile

Unison/Two-Part Octavo

Unexpected harmonies and a playful barbershop-style tag characterize this short yet challenging arrangement of the traditional anthem.

The Star-Spangled Banner

SSAA Octavo

Written for two-part a cappella voices, these arrangements of three Hebrew prayers are easily learned and flexible for any number of singers looking to sing about grace, praise, and blessing.

Three Hebrew Prayers for Two Voices

Two-Part Octavo

A call to the creative spirit in all of us, the initial haunting chant invocation leads to a lively mixed-meter section that layers and builds throughout the piece. The concise text is in Latin, accessible for both concert and worship settings.

Veni Creator Spiritus

Siegfried Sassoon's text depicts the unbridled joy at the end of the First World War mixed with bittersweet sorrow. The final phrase, "the singing will never be done" hints at the irony of this joy amid terrible loss. In this lovely a cappella original setting, this last phrase may be repeated many times, and the audience may be encouraged to join in the song. It can create a stunning way to close a concert and will work very effectively as a recessional or in the round.

Everyone Sang

Emily Dickinson's poem is set with unaccompanied harmonies that speak to the darkly mysterious quality portrayed in the text. Useful at any time of year, but especially effective for the winter solstice or Advent, or anytime we deal with darkness in our lives.
