New 2-part voicing! Here's an inspired setting that faithfully retains the Hawaiian character of Israel Kamakawiwo'ole's cover. In this well-crafted treble version, both sections of the choir take a turn singing the classic melody, while the opposite part interjects with independent aloha's. This easy-to-do treatment performs well with the light piano part, an optional ukulele/guitar, or the professional SoundTrax accompaniment. It's a special arrangement that honors the depth of the original, the spirit of Brother Iz, and the beauty of the earth.

Black as the midnight, and white as the snow; gold as the sunshine, my cat of calico. A bouncy and buoyant melody is supported by a folk-song-style piano accompaniment and some easy-to-sing harmonic patterns in this truly charming 2-part original by Andy Beck. Singers won't be able to get enough of the tongue-twisting patter text as they tell the tale of the whimsically colorful cat. Directors can take special pride in teaching the optional cue notes and accented descant that adds a fluffy coat near the end. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

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. .
