Brian Tate wants to help bring us all together and uses his imaginative music and community-building texts to make it happen. Each vocal part gets its own statement, and they sequence together into a rollicking chorus. Available a cappella for almost every voicing, it is now arranged for 2-part voices with accompaniment. Easy and fun.

In my opinion our world is currently in great need of reestablishing strong connections one to another, be it with family and friends, neighbors and strangers, nations and nations, or with those of different cultures and religions. In his important book, I and Thou, philosopher-theologian Martin Buber says that the most meaningful life is centered on relationship. As a musician, I felt compelled to express the I-THOU thesis through the human voice. In searching for the right words to express this sentiment, I was fortunate to find Kazuaki Tanahashi’s eloquent poem, “Encounter.” Mr. Tanahashi is a poet, Zen artist, scholar and peace activist.  This combined-voices version has been adapted from an SATB scoring that features prominently in the original song cycle, I-THOU, written for vocal quartet, commissioned and premiered in 2018 by Fourth Coast Ensemble in Chicago. —Wayland Rogers About the Series: Doreen Rao, 2019 Robert Shaw Award recipient, launches her culturally inclusive choral series, Global Encounters for Young Voices, featuring accessible treble- and mixed-voice works for developing choirs.

From 1717 to 1718, Handel composed eleven multi-movement, psalm-based anthems, commonly known as the Chandos Anthems (he was resident composer for the First Duke of Chandos during this period). is setting of verses from Psalm 96 is drawn from Anthem 4b, “O Sing unto the Lord a New Song” (HWV 249b). Chepponis’ thoughtful editing and arranging of this gem—based on original sources, as well as practical considerations— make it accessible to many choirs that may not have the luxury of a large SATB choir. Listen to the recording and follow along with the score in this preview video:.

Sung for years as an alternative memorial acclamation at Sunday liturgies, Deiss' well-known refrain is coupled with verses that sing a strong reminder that Christ saves us by his death and resurrection and brings joy even in the midst of sorrow. Works well for the opening procession, the communion procession, or the Song of Farewell during the Rite of Final Commendation. Assemblies know this piece by heart.

Superstar Bruno Mars wrote this friendship song for his debut album Doo-Wops & Hooligans. This attractive arrangement is accompanied by piano with optional ukulele or guitar. Plus, the SATB can even be sung a cappella. Sopranos take the melody, while the other parts provide supportive harmonic grooves and stylized backing vocals. Familiar, flexible, and fun!
