At the end of every day, there will be stars. Stars are the inspiration for this stunning concert work that offers the reassurance only nature can bring. A lilting piano theme weaves its way through cascading vocal lines that seamlessly expand from pristine unisons into sumptuous sonorities. Your altos will especially love their glimmering, glistening interjections. Be sure to observe notated dynamics, which lean into several well-approached suspensions and taper to twinkling resolutions.

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.

Andy Beck brings his gift for vivid text painting, evocative piano motives, and tuneful melodies to a favorite wintertime poem. Though not a word-for-word setting, the themes of the Elinor Wylie's words are evident from the snow-covered introduction, winding melody, and expressive andante, to the silken harmonic palette and lacy choral layers. Choose this piece with the confidence that it has been carefully constructed to encourage musicality and artistry from any ensemble. Program the eloquent concert and contest work from fall to spring, anytime there might be snow on the ground. We shall walk in velvet shoes . . . under a veil of lace.

The title is a bit deceiving because this Rossetti text is lauding the clouds of the sky over the boats and ships. Selected for the Judith Herrington series, this is a delightful song for children's choirs. A lilting 6/8 meter carries the flowing message steadily. Easy in difficulty.

This playful piece is perfect for the beginning of the school year. Charming lyrics, penned by a 7-year-old student, capture the joy of autumn. A unison verse swirls into simple call-and-response punctuated by a bridge in beginning 2-part harmony. A cheerful key change tosses the leaves higher into the air before tapering to a quiet I love fall leaves ending.

UPC: 785147847700. English. Text by Mary Louise Bringle. Scripture: Romans 8:31–39.
The alternation of 5/4 and 6/4 meters adds interest to this lyrical tune. Two vocal parts alternate as well in the opening verses, adding the congregation and a descant for the final verse. Note that the last two measures ask for each vocal part to divide into dyads. A reproducible unison part (hymnal version) is included in the octavo.
