Kevin Memley used the words of Soren Engström for this tender piece commissioned in memory of a college student. The text carries questions that remind us of the fraility of life and encourage us to enjoy our time alive. The music holds all the characteristics that have made Memley one of the most sought-after composers of our day – an inspiring melody, rich harmonies, a captivating piano part, and a touching ending. Medium in difficulty for high school, community and college choirs.

A unison pitch becomes a cluster chord and then blossoms into full contemporary choral harmony. Ample text painting, passing dissonance, and sensitive tempo and dynamic changes make this an excellent choice for accomplished choirs.

UPC: 785147964605. English. Text Source: 'Now is Christ risen from the dead' by Timothy Dudley-Smith. Text by Timothy Dudley-Smith.

Embracing the original meaning of the word “carol”—a joyful song, also a kind of dance in a ring—this setting of a Dudley-Smith text captures the spirited jubilation of the Easter season. The recommendation to designate verses for women or men is not absolute, as the piece works quite well with equal voices or even just a solo voice. Joyous!

UPC: 840126962086. 6.75x10.5x0.036 inches. Isaiah 49:13, Psalm 108:2, Romans 15:11.

From the opening bell tones in the piano, this anthem awakens the worshipping church to praise. Incorporating the early-American hymn tune PISGAH, this original piece celebrates the sacred call of music in proclaiming the joy of the Lord. The folklike character in the substance of the music is displayed in the melodic contours and rustic harmonic vocabulary. This is the day for singing and for sending alleluias soaring!

UPC: 038081562094. English. West Indies Folk Song.

A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.

UPC: 038081561592. English. William Blake.

Captivating. Adventurous. With just a hint of danger. This feisty minor key setting of William Blake's gripping poem immediately garners attention with a ferocious fanfare. Then a jaunty, detached piano motive (which later becomes a choral counterline), leads to contemporary choral writing firmly rooted in traditional techniques. Angular intervals and syncopated agitation provide energy, vim, and vigor. Guaranteed to be a highlight of rehearsals, concerts, contests, and festivals.
