ISBN 9781491160022. UPC: 680160918621. Key: D minor. English. Sara Teasdale, adapted by Meredith Tompkins.

Sara Teasdale was a celebrated American poet who lived at the turn of the twentieth century, known for her classical style and pure, openhearted writing. At the young age of twenty-three, she became a published author and went on to release a total of eight award-winning collections of poetry in her lifetime. Love-Free is a reflective poem that appears in Part I of Rivers to the Sea, published in 1915. In the text, the narrator experiences a range of emotions centering around lost love and the desire to either separate from or rekindle it. Reminiscent of an antique music box, the text is paired with a waltz-like accompaniment in a lilting 3/4 pattern. Melodic exploration of the natural minor scale is achieved through mostly step-wise motion and some carefully placed, text-painted leaps ranging from a minor third to a sixth. With some unison, SA, and SSA sections, this piece can show off the wide array of colors and textures available to treble choirs.

When the revised English translation of the Catholic Mass was introduced in 2010, Tony Alonso’s Mass of Joy and Peace quickly became one of the most widely sung eucharistic settings. In this edition, Tony has adapted the eucharistic acclamations for ecumenical use. The Joy and Peace acclamations will find a home in organ-based worship or celebrations led by piano, guitar, or contemporary ensemble. A setting of great versatility and accessibility, Joy and Peace will help inspire the sung prayer of assemblies across Christian denominations. This is the choral/accompaniment edition. The C instrument parts are optional.
