UPC: 785147783404. English. Text Source: Based on Romans 8:35-39. Text by Shirley Erena Murray. Scripture: Romans 8:35–39.
Here’s one of those pieces that is immediately appealing, easy to learn, but crafted to withstand time. Which is a good thing, as True’s melodic setting of Murray’s take on Romans 8 has many opportunities for use! It is preferred that a cantor sing the verses, unless the choir has excellent diction. Use a soloist on the verses, if desired. .

After weeks of waiting, it's finally time to open those holiday gifts. As the kids gleefully tear into their presents, wrapping paper, ribbons, tags, and bags go flying---it's a gift wrap riot! This rockin' hand jive is a total blast. The vocal parts pretty much teach themselves, so there's plenty of time to add the familiar hand motions or learn Andy's full choreography (printed in the score and available as a free ChoreoTrax video online). If holiday novelty numbers have become a tradition at your school, you won't want to miss this one!

After combining a beautiful, traditional Irish melody with a fascinating nineteenth-century text, Marilyn Biery then added a relatively simple accompaniment, a straightforward C instrument part, and effective two-part vocal writing to create a synergistic whole! There is some brief SATB divisi near the end of the piece, but the AB parts are completely optional.

UPC: 038081568157. English. Words by Haven Gillespie.
Jolly jing-a-ling-a's provide hip transitions and bright bookends in this jazzed-up version of the great Christmas standard. Kirby's arrangement fits the tune like a glove, and will last in your library year after year. Eight bars in the middle may be repeated as many times as desired, and opened up to include vocal and/or instrumental soloists, improvisation, scat singing, gradual stacking of written lines, etc. Just be sure to save a little something for the shout chorus that follows! SoundPax includes four horn parts, but easily adapts for rhythm section alone.

UPC: 785147828303. English. Text Source: Psalm 23, The Revised Grail Psalms Scripture: Psalm 23.
The call-and-response nature of the refrain makes assembly participation about as easy as possible, the women of the choir support the assembly and the men provide a bit of easy harmony, all over a relaxed accompaniment. While not requiring an exceptionally large vocal range, the cantor should ideally have a solid low range (down to a low A) with the ability to sustain the upper D at a couple of points in the verses. For cantor or soloist.

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.
