The piece was commissioned by Kevin Scully, Director of Creative Arts, for the Port Washington School District, New York, with special thanks to the Ed Foundation and HEARTS for their unwavering support. Performance Notes This lighthearted piece is a great way to bring multiple choirs together in harmony. It may be sung by a single SATB choir, though it is intended to be performed by multiple choirs of varying age levels. Song of the Sound was written for an all-district feeder festival piece for combined elementary, middle level, and high school choirs. Here is a suggested outline for combining multiple choirs: Rehearsal Letters A to B: Elementary choir only (two-part, Soprano, Alto) Rehearsal Letter B: add Middle Level Soprano, Alto with Elementary choir Rehearsal Letter C: Middle Level choir only Rehearsal Letter D: High School choir only Rehearsal Letter E to the end: Everyone! Song of the Sound: Running on the beach, digging in the sand, Seaweed in my toes, bucket in my hand. When I'm at the shore, way above the rest, These are all the things that I love the best. Skipping like a stone on the water, diving deep in the silvery foam, Swimming far where the land cannot hold us, where the lighthouse calls us home. Flying free above the marshes, soaring high above the sea, Where the tern and cormorant and plover call to lands we cannot see.Come let us go to the water, let us go to the singing shore: Where the gentle breezes whisper and the mighty breakers roar. We will look to the shining ocean, to the East, where the new day dawned: We will sing a song of the edge of the world and the waiting sky beyond. -Poem by Robert Bode (Hope Springs Retreat Center, Ohio.

Sharaf was moved to write this tribute to all involved in the Boston Marathon massacre—those who were victims, those who died, and those who showed the best of humanity in the aftermath. He imagines heartbreaking beauty praying for peace and forgiveness. Now, in addition to the vocal solo, this beautiful memorial is also available for mixed voices a cappella.

'The towers are burning, the church has been ransacked, the town hall lies in ruins, the strong have been hacked to death, the virgins defiled, and wherever we look we see fire, plague and death which breaks both heart and spirit.'Karl Amadeus Hartmann uses bold colours to depict the image of the Thirty Years' War, the consequence of religious strife throughout Europe. The composer's only choral work sets poetry by Andreas Gryphius and culminates in a muted call for peace. Hartmann undertook a revision of the music in his cantata Lamento for soprano and piano in 1955.

English. Text Source: African American spiritual.

Right from the unsettling opening notes in the keyboard, it's clear that this arrangement of the traditional spiritual is something special. The yearning for comfort in times of trouble (breaking heart, sorrow) on the journey through life is underlined by delicate, sensitive scoring that is nonetheless easy to learn. A stunning work, a powerful musical message.
