A showpiece of technical skill and lyrical wizardry in the 2018 sequel, Mary Poppins Returns, this jaunty and cheeky turn-of-phrase masterclass is a testament to Mark Shaiman's understanding of the enigma that is Lin-Manuel Miranda. With chances for soloists to re-create the wordsmith's most twisting and turning rap sections, the 6/8 romp of the main chorus is absolutely singable and memorable, with a blast being had by all involved!

Lofty musical aspirations are met and surpassed in this Psalm setting, which is the next installment in the composer's exploration of the Psalter. Modern melody meets classic text to celebrate the creative power of God in a sacred tone poem filled with fascinating sonic moments. Lush and expressive, the opening is a soundtrack of praise. Later the piece recounts the days of creation and the unfolding of the universe while counterpointing with the Latin phrase, Cantate Dominum. This is a stunning choral moment that builds intensity to a rhapsodic melody soaring to dizzying heights. This significant anthem ends quiescently with a final affirming Amen.

Lin-Manuel Miranda calls this song a love letter to New York that lets us know who the Schuyler sisters are outside the context of Hamilton. Through an innovative combination of rap, patter singing, character-driven musical themes, and a supporting chorus, we are introduced to three outstanding women from the Revolutionary War era. Alan Billingsley's supercharged arrangement sounds just like the original Broadway score, with stylized solos (both spoken and sung) and plenty of satisfying choral sonorities and riffs. Work!
