Lyrical voices float over a Bach-inspired piano accompaniment in this beautiful setting built on five common Latin words. Three independent melodies are introduced one at a time and eventually layered to create artful polyphony that is easily achieved. Cue-sized notes in the SAB/3-Part Mixed provide options for changing voices, and the treble arrangement can be sung in either two or three parts. An ideal vehicle for improving vocal production and building musicianship.

A Christmas classic updated with a fresh Latin groove! Syncopated rhythms energize the vocal lines, which remain true to the carol's original harmonization. A new Fa la la refrain and bridge build excitement leading to the third verse, and a key change near the end results in a big finish. Add the SoundTrax CD, SoundPax, and complete choreography from the Movin' DVD for even more pizzazz!

Designed for impact in performance without stress in rehearsal, this strong concert/contest opener (or closer) features an accessible Latin text that alternates with English lyrics. A bold unison, sung in sweet-spot vocal ranges, leads to an antiphonal treatment of the marcato theme. A softer section, in three-part counterpoint, provides contrast before returning to the original melody. This celebratory piece works on any program, at any time of year, and provides wonderful lessons for developing choral singers.

Joyful syncopations propel us forward in this educational concert or contest selection. Contemporary yet logical sonorities come to life for developing choirs building their skills within limited vocal ranges. Notice how the marcato beginning and end contrast with a B section that is a touch more legato. Though sung entirely in Latin, there are only two sentences of text and a pronunciation guide is included. Perfectly crafted for intermediate groups, with the precisely vocal ranges you're seeking!

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.

Fans of Andy's Firefly and The Moon will love this clever piece written especially for 2-part choirs. Captivating vocal lines take flight over a chilling piano part and evoke the presence of the nocturnal mammal. Quick-changing dynamics, textures, and articulations are both the challenge and the reward of this vivid and vigorous, moody and modal gem. A true thriller that will add variety to programs year-round.

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!

All aboard for a bouncy rendition of the authentic American train song, a song that has been recorded by many folk artists through the generations. The largely pentatonic tune truly chugs along and includes a few blue notes, adding to the fun. Greg's perky arrangement offers independent voice parts, engaging rhythmic counterpoint, and even a few vocal train whistles---woo woo!

This darling little charmer reads like step-by-step instructions for assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Andy's writing provides the perfect lesson plan to teach part-singing: Part II sings an eight-bar melody, Part I sings their complementary eight bars, the two combine, we add some simple parallel harmony on the refrain, and voilà! Teachers will thoroughly appreciate the easy-to-play piano part and compact vocal ranges (no one sings higher or lower than a D). In a surprise, not-so-hidden message, the lyrics explain that the pieces are scattered, not broken, and though they have come apart, when they fit back together, we'll have a wonderful work of art. It's a double metaphor about points of view, or voice parts, coming together.

At the end of every day, there will be stars. Stars are the inspiration for this stunning concert work that offers the reassurance only nature can bring. A lilting piano theme weaves its way through cascading vocal lines that seamlessly expand from pristine unisons into sumptuous sonorities. Your altos will especially love their glimmering, glistening interjections. Be sure to observe notated dynamics, which lean into several well-approached suspensions and taper to twinkling resolutions.
