I can live my life on earth contented to the end, if but a few shall . . . call me friend. Success, by people's poet Edgar Guest is paired with a few lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 50 to create a warm, reflective text on the importance of friendship. Subtle tempo changes and sensitive dynamics encourage expressive singing, and an optional obbligato allows for a C-instrument of your choice.

I don't wanna work. I wanna bang on the drum all day! Here's Todd Rundgren's 1983 well-known chorus in a super-fun arrangement for developing choirs. Sally's creative touch adds a speech chorus, where performers mimic the sounds of various drums in a rhythmic stack. For an inventive twist, double the spoken parts on percussion instruments, buckets, or even coffee cans!

UPC: 785147046813. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 91 and Julian of Norwich, 1342-1416. Text by Julian of Norwich. Scripture: Psalm 91.
“All Will Be Well†is, above all, a song of hope. While it is easy to become discouraged by the systems of injustice that pervade our world, Julian’s text reminds us that life and love always prevail. Care should be taken to sing each refrain with this conviction and confidence while still respecting the suggested dynamic markings, as too much power can jeopardize the gentle folk-style of the piece. The verses should start with room to grow dynamically, building throughout, leading to strength and conviction in the refrain.

Dedicated to the sacrifice and courage of health workers during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, composer Goodall has set tender music to selected anonymous texts and a quote from Mahatma Ghandi. The harmonic rhythm is slow and comforting, a charming rhythmic motif is present throughout (reminiscent of the Indian musical concept of tala). Accessible vocal parts and a beautiful piano accompaniment. Sopranos divide briefly.

A light gospel sound inhabits this offering that begins in an easy-going manner with a solo or the men’s voices. Before long, the choir joins a robust refrain featuring a dynamic—but not impossibly high—soprano descant. Certainly a consideration for the smaller (SAB) choir that has a lot of passion to share with the assembly.
