Composed by Peter Foggitt. ChoralNow. This PRINTED version is available to purchase as a regular sheet music title for delivery by post. Octavo. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #CN9P. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.CN9P).

An abundantly versatile composer, Peter Foggitt in A Christmas Lullaby tunes in to the spirit of minimalism that has inspired so much remarkable music since Tavener, Gorecki and Part discovered a new gift to be simple in their ground-breaking works of the 1970s and 1980s. To the nativity scene painted in words by John Addington Symonds the unchanging-changing chords of the limpid accompaniment for organ or piano bring an aura of rapt intensity and communion. With the clarity of an icon, this is a cradle song for an infant king who is also the Prince of Peace and a child in a manger, and a study in expressive and disciplined singing for SATB chorus.

New to the Carl Fischer family, Abeni Janae (b. 2001) brings a fresh voice in her arrangement of this wonderfully rich African American spiritual. Accessible for mixed choirs of all sizes and abilities, there is pathos and passion in every phrase.
Keep in mind what this spiritual text represents, especially if you can relate to it on a personal level. Since it is a traditional spiritual, it is important to use appropriate pronunciations. That means it is acceptable not to pronounce some of the words the way we normally would in American English. For example: Do not pronounce the “t” in “little” too much, opting to pronounce it closer to “liddle.” Do not pronounce the “-er” in “longer” too much, opting to pronounce it as “lon-guh.” Whether or not the choir sings with much or minimal vibrato is at the discretion of the conductor/director.Mostly, have fun singing this piece!If you have any further questions about the background of this piece or anything of the sort, feel free to contact me at missabenijanae@gmail.com.

Level 2. Composed by John M. Feierabend. Choral. Conversational Solfege. Music Education. Octavo. GIA Publications #527. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-527).

Text by Noel Goemanne.

Conversational Solfege is a dynamic and captivating first-through-eighth grade general music program that enables students to become independent musical thinkers with the help of a rich variety of folk and classical music. It is organized around increasingly complex rhythmic and melodic content. Each new rhythmic or melodic element is discovered first in patterns and then reinforced with folk songs, rhymes, and classical examples. Central to the Conversational Solfege program is the use of music harvested from our rich and diverse American musical history. This variety of music serves as a common thread that spans and bonds generations. Each book contains varied song material so the teacher can select appropriate music for the lower grades or older beginners. This 12-step teaching method carefully brings students from readiness to, ultimately, creating music through inner hearing and then transferring their musical thoughts into notation—in other words, to compose music! This CD provides 14 classical selections referenced in Conversational Solfege Level 2. These examples provide reinforcement for emerging literacy skills, and they also enable students to listen to wonderful classical examples with greater attention. Listening to classical music can be challenging for elementary students. With nothing to hang onto, the many notes can be too much to comprehend and attention soon wanes. But with minimal literacy skills, students will have enough musical information to discover that classical music can be accessible and appealing. In the included booklet, timings are given for each selection and the portions of the music that are readable by the students are reproduced. Whether using this CD with Conversational Solfege instructional materials or simply as a resource of classical music with simple to read rhythmic and melodic material, both teachers and students will delight in discovering this wonderful music through literacy. This series is a complete, innovative approach to teaching music that will stay fresh year after year. CONTENTS Conversational Solfege Unit 5: 1.

The traditional Latin eternal light text is beautifully brought to life in this artful a cappella work by contemporary choral composer Ruth Morris Gray. With plenty of room for rubato and dynamic expression, this piece employs a variety of choral textures with an approach that is simple yet elegant. Efficient part-writing achieves occasional dissonance with minimal divisi, and a delicate descant illuminates the final moments of this superb setting.
