This little-known African-American spiritual has a good high school or university choir in mind. In this arrangement about Mary and her baby the bass line rocks through the piece making this a great upbeat selection for your Christmas program! Duration: ca. 3:20.

Blake Wilson's Ave Maris Stella focuses on the idea of Mary as a source of strength and power. Melodically rich with earthy harmonies and diverse texture this is a very impressive setting of the well known Latin text. An excellent choice for high-level high school choirs and above.
