When I found Born on a Fishing Boat in an issue of Poetry While You Wait in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I was immediately struck by Ms. Lius simple, evocative words. While I sat in the cafe on a cold January day waiting for my coffee, I closed my eyes and envisioned what it might be like to lie on my back in a small fishing boat and look up at the stars. I stole the free booklet of poetry and trudged home in the snow, already hearing the piano part in my mind. I would encourage anyone who is interested in learning more about Mei-Li Lius life and work to purchase her book Ten Thousand Miles from Home, published by Dragon Press (ISBN: 9780976137009). I sincerely hope I have honored her art with this setting. Born on a Fishing Boat I was born on fishing boat Lying in basket Ocean tide rocking me to sleep Papa fishing all-day and all-night Mamas washings hanging on line Above my head Misty sea washing my face Northern wind whispering to my ears Angel of sea kissing my forehead Beneath paper moon My little arms out from the cradle Out to the breeze Happy, born on fishing boat By the sea.When I found aBorn on a Fishing Boata in an issue of Poetry While You WaitA in Colorado Springs, Colorado, I was immediately struck by Ms. Liuas simple, evocative words.

This simple yet elegant setting is sung on just two short Latin phrases. A partner song approach gives each voice part independence, while a brief B section includes some homophonic choral harmonies. Halfway through the piece, a delicate descant-like third part is introduced, which floats gently above when the lyrical theme and counter theme return. Excellent concert or contest repertoire for developing groups.

UPC: 038081562100. English. West Indies Folk Song.
A great fit for choirs of any age or ability! Harry Belafonte sang this joyful West Indies song on his 1956 album Calypso. Dr. Robinson's arrangement has just the right amount of repetition versus development, and will come together quickly with intuitive voice leading and some stylistic syncopation. One a cappella refrain just after the key change features the conga to keep the groove going, and a final descant adds a rhythmic counterline above. Build up the Jamaican vibe with our light SoundTrax accompaniment or the notated percussion part (available free online). The theme: build your house on solid ground.

This simple, yet elegant melody is reminiscent of a Welsh or Scottish folk song, but it's a new, original choral work from Carl Strommen. Carl's solid choral writing will make your choir sound its very best. And the beautiful text (My heart's in the highland above the heather blue.) evokes images of lush meadows of the British Isles. Wonderful opportunities to work on choral phrasing.

UPC: 038081544229. English. Lynn Ahrens.
Infused with the syncopated rhythms of the West Indies, this arrangement from Once on This Island is guaranteed to bring the house down! Low voices maintain the groove while upper voices dance above in perfect harmony. Whether you choose to add choreography or not, you won't be able to stand still! Both the optional SoundPax and SoundTrax CD preserve the island-influenced instrumentation of the Broadway score.

The familiar Latin text has been set many times by many composers, but this dynamic and rhythmic composition rises above. Opens with a driving marcato theme, which is brilliantly contrasted by the expressive, legato B section. A dramatic choral work that delivers an impressive effect.

This beautiful German carol, famously harmonized by Praetorius is here arranged for women's voices. Beginning in a gentle and homophonic style, the singers begin polyphonic singing with each voice part rising above one another creating beautiful lines and vocal independence. An optional piano or harp part is offered for choirs needing the support but longing for such a beautiful and stylistic piece for their winter/Christmas concert.

A fluid piano accompaniment imitates the motion of a tempestuous sea as legato voices ride above. The contour of the melody and the depth of the text create a beautiful marriage of music and words. Incorporate the cello part (included in the octavo) to add another haunting layer.

Kirby Shaw puts his contemporary stamp on this traditional spiritual for SSA voices. The haunting and powerful story is sung above a driving accompaniment of piano, electric bass and djembe. Full three-part harmony fills the piece, moving back and forth from longer notes to more rhythmic phrases with an optional descant, too. All creating a dynamic sound that treble choirs will love to learn and perform.

Beginning with a solo statement, then adding choral parts in unison and two, then three parts, the texture of this Christmas spiritual proclaims peace on earth and the Christ-child born in glory. Never rising above mezzo forte, it rocks the baby gently and proclaims his radiant promise. SSA, a cappella Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.
