The familiar African-American spiritual in a fresh rhythmic setting!

Well-planned key changes ensure successful a cappella modulations for less-experienced groups. Three notated percussion parts are included in the publication.

UPC: 038081581330. English. Traditional Welcome Song.

This lively welcome song traditionally accompanies the West African fanga dance. Built on the familiar tune (plus some new material and a few English words), this general music class favorite is fully developed as a choral arrangement. Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.

After a year with limited music making, there could be nothing better. Imagine throwing open the shutters to sing with your neighbors as this beautiful piece unfolds. It's consistently lyrical and legato, with peaks and valleys built into the dynamics to heighten emotions and capture joy. We love this expressive piano part, especially the delicate music box-inspired introduction. Don't miss the dramatic modulation before the pinnacle refrain crescendos to a big finish.

2-part choir and piano

Composed by Douglas E. Wagner. Choral. Octavo. Heritage Music Press #15/3612H. Published by Heritage Music Press (LO.15-3612H).

The woods are lovely, dark and deep, but I have promises to keep, and miles to go before I sleep. The iconic Robert Frost poem is set to a familiar British folk tune, and the result is pure beauty. The vocal scoring is strophic in nature, beginning in unison and continuing with slight variation and color on succeeding verses. A lovely modulation lifts the emotional effect for the last verse.

Composed by Greg Gilpin. Choral. Hanukkah. Octavo. Heritage Music Press #15/3601H. Published by Heritage Music Press

Arranged by Jonathan Brannon. The lively, animated Royal Oak tune is set here for two simple parts. Singable by adult voices, but perfect for children's choirs, this is a very easy anthem to add to their repertoire if they know the tune, and a wonderful introduction to this bouncy Bri. General.
