A folksong from the province of Leyte, Philippines. Listen to the arrangement of the haunting melody, simple harmony, and the gentle influence of a Spanish habanera in the background.

Another fresh arrangement from Jennifer Durham, this time with piano accompaniment. The tasteful accompaniment provides a few harmonic surprises while supporting your chorus (and not overwhelming it!). Soloists have opportunities to shine if desired. The final verse moves to a stirring climax, after which an optional solo brings the piece to a satisfying close.

An energetic new setting of the classic sacred text, "Cantate Domino" was commissioned as a competition piece by maestro Rolandas Daugela for the Cantate Domino International Choral Festival and Competition of 2017.

The piece opens with a triumphant fanfare, accompanied by an energetic rhythmic figure in the tenors and basses. This first theme is contrasted by the second section - a warm, contemporary "benedicite" theme, followed by a lyrical, folk-inspired "quia mirabilia". The final section is an exciting reprise of the first theme, but this time the tenors and basses carry the fanfare in four-part harmony while the sopranos and altos provide the driving accompaniment. In the final bars of the piece, the choir ascends in a powerful crescendo to a magnificent final cadence.

For a cappella SATB chorus with some divisi. Score includes piano reduction (for rehearsal). Also included: bonus version without piano reduction (for easier reading for singers).
