Recorded by GRAMMY winner Bill Withers in the 70s, this optimistic song has become a beloved and respected favorite. Robert T. Gibson's groovin' arrangement stays true to the R&B style of the original while employing some gospel techniques designed to show off your SATB singers. Optional electric bass and drumset parts fill out the sound, or perform with the super-charged SoundTrax accompaniment. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

UPC: 038081312798. English. Traditional French Country Song; English translation by Sigmund Spaeth; based on an arrangement by J. B. Weckerlin.
These 18th century French country songs are delightful whether performed as a set or singly. Popularized by J.B. Weckerlin's solo settings in 1913, these new choral arrangements may be sung in either French or English. In both strophic settings, SSA singers become villagers reflecting on life and love.

UPC: 038081532011. English. Words adapted from poems by Sir Richard Fanshawe; Francis Beaumont; music; new words; by Jay Althouse.
Practical, timeless advice abounds in this jaunty contemporary choral with texts lifted from Renaissance-era poetry and a translation of ancient verse. The opening melody winds around the tonic triad before the B section breaks into colorful contemporary harmony in a chorale setting. Light, yet legit.

A bombastic and stately theme, based on stacked modal harmonies, gives a triumphant air to this contemporary setting of the traditional Latin text. Hushed B and C sections offer contrast before recapitulating the grandiose opening and an even fuller final cadence. Timpani, tubular bells, and triangle (which may be downloaded for free) may be performed by a single percussionist and add to the riveting drama.
