Several superb settings of this moving poem by Sara Teasdale precede this one, but Kevin Memley has earned the reputation to take us somewhere new, even with classic texts. Premiered at the ACDA Western Convention, this SSAA setting with piano is entirely new and gratifying. Always melodic and harmonically fulfilling, this new setting works best for advanced high school, college and community treble choirs. Medium.

The poem by Yeats that serves as the text for this Ron Kean piece has been set by many fine composers. Ron's approach is unique, bringing in overtones through whirlies to add an ultra-spiritual dimension to the impact of the work. Ron's vocal writing is always careful, pulling lines into one another with suspended results. Singers simply love to sing them because everyone is equally important. Selected for the Iris Levine Treble Chorus Series, this piece fits any general program for advanced treble high school, college and community choir. Medium.

The drone of the bells, the whispers from the choir, the Stevenson text, set the mood for winter. The choir's harmonies dance around the central tonality like a cold wind, always returning respectfully to the earth. A lovely piece for the fall concert for advanced high school and college treble ensembles. Medium to difficult.

Professor Sharon Gratto has built a career providing historical context to multicultural and folk music. Pavane Publishing is proud to launch her new series with this classic tune attributed to Huddie Ledbetter. A simple three-part treble choir accompanied by a stand-up bass gives an authentic American home-spun quality to the work. Truly fun to sing, this arrangement sounds just the way the song should always be sung.

Langston Hughes' poem is set for choir and piano exceptionally well by composer Anthony Bernarducci. The composer says, â??When beginning to set this short yet powerful poem, it became clear to me that each stanza had its own character contributing to the overall message.â? For this reason, he set the music in a similar fashion. Each stanza has its own musical independence, but also deliberate 'connective tissue' to join the sections together. The text speaks a message of the strength of inner power. While the choir introduces the text, the cello plays a melody similar to the opening vocal solo meant to portray that our strength is always within us even in the moments of darkness. Masterfully written, this piece will be an impactful addition to your concert programming.
