This swingin' arrangement gives the old favorite children's song a fantastic update! Jazzy rhythms and hip harmonies abound in the accompaniment, while the vocal parts remain simple and accessible for young singers. New lyrics in a contrasting middle verse accentuate the courage and resolve of the determined little arachnid. Very cool!

This charming anthem is a great addition to your adult and/or children's two-part repertiore. The exuberant spirit of Psalm 150 inspires the simplicity of the song. The attractive, animated melody in the refrain is set in a two-part dialogue. The rhythm shifts slightly in the verses while still incorporating the choral interchange. Consider this for your combined-choir efforts. Performance of this work is a wonderful way to celebrate community and our shared individuality as the people of God.

Have you ever heard of a bear with wings? Or a biffalo-buffalo-bison? How about a wallaboo? A. A. Milne, best-known as the author of Winnie the Pooh, penned this playful poem about amusing animals, both real and imagined, at a zany zoo. This clever children's choral offers plenty of musical moments (including independent counterlines and logical 2-part harmonies) in between giggles. Perform with a light, bright tone and crisp consonants on the patter-like words. Two likely results: hilarious rehearsals and a roaring crowd!

Kids will embrace telling the animated story with playful tempo shifts, dramatic fermatas, comic interjections, and a tender final realization that, Yes, it's music! Optional clarinet and string bass parts are available for free online.

UPC: 785147995708. English. Text by Kazuaki Tanahashi.

In my opinion our world is currently in great need of reestablishing strong connections one to another, be it with family and friends, neighbors and strangers, nations and nations, or with those of different cultures and religions. In his important book, I and Thou, philosopher-theologian Martin Buber says that the most meaningful life is centered on relationship. As a musician, I felt compelled to express the I-THOU thesis through the human voice. In searching for the right words to express this sentiment, I was fortunate to find Kazuaki Tanahashi’s eloquent poem, “Encounter.” Mr. Tanahashi is a poet, Zen artist, scholar and peace activist.  This combined-voices version has been adapted from an SATB scoring that features prominently in the original song cycle, I-THOU, written for vocal quartet, commissioned and premiered in 2018 by Fourth Coast Ensemble in Chicago. —Wayland Rogers About the Series: Doreen Rao, 2019 Robert Shaw Award recipient, launches her culturally inclusive choral series, Global Encounters for Young Voices, featuring accessible treble- and mixed-voice works for developing choirs.

A piano accompaniment that suggests the gentle rocking of a boat at sea sets the scene for this fanciful nighttime adventure, featuring a text adapted from a traditional nursery rhyme. With a melody built around a minor triad, it's a clear introduction to minor tonality. A couple of cues allow for optional three-part harmony at the end.
