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.

Practical, timeless advice abounds in this jaunty contemporary choral with texts lifted from Renaissance-era poetry and a translation of ancient verse. The opening melody winds around the tonic triad before the B section breaks into colorful contemporary harmony in a chorale setting. Light, yet legit.

UPC: 038081512945. English. Traditional Carol.

You know this Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this before! Alan Billingsley's contemporary interpretation brings the traditional tune up to date. The SATB voicing sounds great a cappella, while a funky accompaniment works well to support the SAB and SSA. Bass and drums on the optional SoundTrax CD pump up the R&B groove, or add your own vocal percussion.

Jay Althouse revisits a little-known gem by George Gershwin from nearly 100 years ago: a winsome melody winds over a terrain of jazz chords before melting into lush choral harmony. Flexible tempos and expressive phrases lend themselves well to poignant, heartfelt singing.

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.

A bombastic and stately theme, based on stacked modal harmonies, gives a triumphant air to this contemporary setting of the traditional Latin text. Hushed B and C sections offer contrast before recapitulating the grandiose opening and an even fuller final cadence. Timpani, tubular bells, and triangle (which may be downloaded for free) may be performed by a single percussionist and add to the riveting drama.
