UPC: 038081561400. English. Words by Robert Frost.
Robert Frost's famous poem describes the woods as lovely, dark, and deep, and the same can be said about this appealing setting for winter concerts. The minor key casts a pensive backdrop for the vivid imagery of the text. The composer shows her teaching prowess by sculpting a line that harmonizes easily when sung in thirds and fits together perfectly when echoed from part to part. Developing choirs will appreciate the balance of emotional depth in the words and approachable challenges in the vocal parts. Sing the cue notes to quickly convert the 2-part voicing to S.S.A.

UPC: 038081581330. English. Traditional Welcome Song.
This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance. Built on the familiar tune (plus some new material and a few English words), this general music class favorite is fully developed as a choral arrangement. Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.

This simple yet elegant setting is sung on just two short Latin phrases. A partner song approach gives each voice part independence, while a brief B section includes some homophonic choral harmonies. Halfway through the piece, a delicate descant-like third part is introduced and floats gently above when the lyrical theme and counter theme return. Excellent concert or contest repertoire for developing groups.

Sponsored by the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, this folk song is from a collection of songs native to the area. ââ¬ÅTengoââ¬Â translates as ââ¬ÅI haveââ¬Â but what the song is really saying is ââ¬ÅI have plenty.ââ¬Â It is a playful children's folk song which teases a neighbor in sharing the animals' ââ¬ÅI haveââ¬Â and what they produce, compared to the neighbor who has nothing. Judith Herrington has arranged it delightfully for 2-part voices with an entertaining piano accompaniment.

An emblem that transcends cultures, religions, and time periods, the flickering candle offers a message of joy, hope, and peace that can reach every human heart. Start with the spark of a single voice on the opening solo, and then light your choir's inner flame when the entire group joins. Simple, with a folk-like quality; artful, as the composer explores dark versus light, major versus minor.
