You may have studied this beloved Schubert art song in voice lessons, and now you can share it with developing choirs in a well-constructed, approachable arrangement. The choice of key fits comfortably within range and the Romantic era harmonies are easy to hear. Whether there are two or four hands at the piano, listeners will be hooked by the rippling water and leaping fish in the playful accompaniment. Concerned about the German words? A rhyming English translation provides a charming option. Listen to Fischer-Dieskau's iconic recording as an introduction to the piece or an extension of learning.

Designed for impact in performance without stress in rehearsal, this strong concert/contest opener (or closer) features an accessible Latin text that alternates with English lyrics. A bold unison, sung in sweet-spot vocal ranges, leads to an antiphonal treatment of the marcato theme. A softer section, in three-part counterpoint, provides contrast before returning to the original melody. This celebratory piece works on any program, at any time of year, and provides wonderful lessons for developing choral singers.

There's nothing like the refined, ageless cool of a swing classic. “Wham (Re-Bop-Boom-Bam)” is about as “hep” as it gets, with a catchy melody and colorful lyrics that offer a snapshot of the era's finest musical slang. Roger Emerson's arrangement is patterned after the 1939 version by Mildred Bailey (as featured in the TV series Lessons in Chemistry), reflecting its tight jazzy harmonies and snappy syncopated rhythms.
