From the composer: Written as a statement of support for, and allyship with, our Black brothers and sisters (as well as all people of color). Too often, in any aspect of life, we explain away other people’s experiences instead of seeking to understand experiences that differ from our own; we’re so busy talking about our own viewpoints that we fail to listen to the voices we most need to hear. I asked Tony Silvestri to write a text that could function as a personal statement from me to people I need to listen to—especially to my friends of color. This the text that resulted—words that speak powerfully for any situation where we need to listen to those who have been marginalized or mistreated, not heard or believed. For SATB or SSAA choir with piano and optional guitar.

The delicate harmonic beauty of this piece is truly stunning. Though short in length, there is immense opportunity for magical expressive moments. With close harmonies weaving in and out of consonances and unisons and flowing passages paired with moments of rhythmic energy, there is so much music to be made. A repeating ending of layered melodies that gradually fades al niente will have your audience holding their breath. Composed as a set of three compositions, also look for Day of Fire and Sun (15/3898H) and Home–Thoughts, from Abroad (15/3844L).

Textured choral writing glides effortlessly over a graceful piano accompaniment in this elegant setting of the romantic text by Chilean poet and Nobel Prize-winner Pablo Neruda. Variations in tempo and contrasts in dynamics guide singers to a nuanced performance of a fully developed form, creating a complete musical story. The purity of Spanish vowels invites beautiful choral singing (phonetic and IPA pronunciation guide included). Exquisite. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

UPC: 888680614188. 6.75x10.5 inches. Czech. Sara Teasdale/Kevin Memley.

Several superb settings of this moving poem by Sara Teasdale precede this one, but Kevin Memley has earned the reputation to take us somewhere new, even with classic texts. Premiered at the ACDA Western Convention, this SSAA setting with piano is entirely new and gratifying. Always melodic and harmonically fulfilling, this new setting works best for advanced high school, college and community treble choirs. Medium.
