This rebooted triptych of short operas is family friendly and full of fun, while paying tribute to the African tradition of storytelling for all ages. Sister Sparrow, Sister Robin and Madame Partridge retell the antics of Bre'r Rabbit and his nemesis Bre'r Fox in Briar Patch, The Pot of Sense, and Madame Partridge and her Eggs. Okoye's music blends African American musical styles of jazz, blues, and gospel with contemporary concert music sounds. Combined with Moore's libretto, the result brings to mind a meeting Langston Hughes and Gilbert and Sullivan on steroids, en route to the Black church. A concert version of Briar Patch will be available for full orchestra with five soloists. Libretto by Carman Moore. The music blends African American musical styles of jazz, blues, and gospel with contemporary concert music sounds. Intended for all audiences. NOTE: Each story from the Tales from the Briar Patch is derived from African folk tales. The character Bre'r Rabbit is actually the trickster, Anansi the Spider, of ancient Ghanaian folklore. While many people associate him and his friends with Joel Chandler Harris' Uncle Remus stories, the stories predate Harris and hist stories. The creators updated the language, using all animals to portray the story, with the trio of spirited birds narrating. Producers find that the works rate well with all audiences and are especially useful for community discussions and engagement.

Noted composer M. Roger Holland has taken antiphons from the 2010 Roman Missal and paired them with psalm verses, creating compositions that have wide use in the liturgy. Some parishes will want to use these pieces on the appointed day for entrance or communion processionals. Others may find use for them throughout the entire year, perhaps using them as a weekly song through the season. The songs work well as stand-alone processional pieces and many choirs will want to use them as choir anthems or congregational songs during the preparation of the gifts and altar. While utilizing official texts of the Roman rite, they can be used by congregations of any denomination. Roger explores the wide breadth that is African American music, you’ll find lyric ballades, spiritualinspired offerings, gospel-style songs, and pieces with a more uptempo feel. This is the third volume in this series. Contains: When He Calls on Me • Not by Bread Alone • Hide Not Your Face • Hosanna • The Lord Is Truly Risen, Alleluia For cantor or soloist.

This melodic gem from the early-American hymn tradition is thoughtfully presented by carefully maintaining the spirit of the source material. The arrangement unfolds naturally from a single line and gradually moves with care through the various ranges of the chorus. A spaciousness in the harmonic treatment adds an air of mystery and sacred reverence to the anthem's impact.

Based on the traditional American shaped-note melody The Promised Land (first published in the 1800's), Beyond the Stars captures the spirit of the early American church musicians who voiced their enthusiasm for life and the freedom of worship through both vocal and instrumental music. The music features several mini-variations wrapped up in four large variations (Fast, Fast, Slow, Fast-recapitulation). The composer has created new thematic material for each variation by excerpting motifs from three separate phrases of the original shaped-note melody. A stunning and powerful work for winds. Dur: c. 6:20.
