ISBN 9781491160022. UPC: 680160918621. Key: D minor. English. Sara Teasdale, adapted by Meredith Tompkins.

Sara Teasdale was a celebrated American poet who lived at the turn of the twentieth century, known for her classical style and pure, openhearted writing. At the young age of twenty-three, she became a published author and went on to release a total of eight award-winning collections of poetry in her lifetime. Love-Free is a reflective poem that appears in Part I of Rivers to the Sea, published in 1915. In the text, the narrator experiences a range of emotions centering around lost love and the desire to either separate from or rekindle it. Reminiscent of an antique music box, the text is paired with a waltz-like accompaniment in a lilting 3/4 pattern. Melodic exploration of the natural minor scale is achieved through mostly step-wise motion and some carefully placed, text-painted leaps ranging from a minor third to a sixth. With some unison, SA, and SSA sections, this piece can show off the wide array of colors and textures available to treble choirs.

There's nothing like the refined, ageless cool of a swing classic. “Wham (Re-Bop-Boom-Bam)” is about as “hep” as it gets, with a catchy melody and colorful lyrics that offer a snapshot of the era's finest musical slang. Roger Emerson's arrangement is patterned after the 1939 version by Mildred Bailey (as featured in the TV series Lessons in Chemistry), reflecting its tight jazzy harmonies and snappy syncopated rhythms.
