How fun! A unique setting of words adapted from a familiar English folk song. Handclaps, leg taps, and brushing palms decorate each voice part from the first statement of their independent line to the final layered recap. A departure from the traditional tune and tempo, Ruth's jaunty melody and andante interpretation creates a feeling of motion in triple meter.

Translati on: I am one with the great spirit. Equally suited for mixed, treble, or tenor-bass choirs, this flexible arrangement opens with a Native American flute, the sounds of flowing water, and tuned singing bowls. Next, two robust solo voices introduce the core sections: the traditional melody with Eastern Band Cherokee Indian lyrics; and an original English-text refrain that later pairs with the authentic tune. Please visit alfred.com for complete background information and performance suggestions for this stunning selection which premiered at the 2022 ACDA Southern Region Conference.

Scattered handclaps, syncopated rhythms, and bright harmonies make this well-crafted setting a joy to perform! A modulating breakdown section in the middle offers the opportunity to incorporate the dance. Downloadable percussion parts are available online.

No matter which voicing suits your group, be sure to consider adding choreography (available free online), and the toe-tapping SoundTrax accompaniment.

A festive setting of the English round that will come together quickly at that busy time of year! A rousing antiphonal treatment (a fanfare) leads into the traditional tune, followed by a newly composed bridge. Later, the unison melody becomes a 2-part, and eventually a 3-part round. A wonderful opener for holiday performances!

SAB choir, assembly, piano accompaniment, violin, guitar - Beginning

UPC: 785147946403. English. Text Source: John Rippon',s A Selection of Hymns, 1787, alt. Scripture: 2 Peter 1:4.

From the Revival collection (octavo packet G-9405, spiral-bound G-9538), this arrangement uses the traditional tune FOUNDATION. The accompaniment has a folk quality that is both compelling and comforting. For added texture (as with all of the pieces in Revival), the final stanza of this hymn can be sung in unison, and includes an alternate harmonization of the accompaniment with a soprano descant.

English.

Thomas Simaku 's Albanian Wedding Song for SSA choir. This song is part of a set published as Three Albanian Folk Songs for Female Choir. Qenke veshur me të bardha (Dressed in White - Kosova) is the most popular wedding song which is sung not only in Kosova, but in every Albanian wedding. As in most folk songs, these tunes are remarkably short. The melodies themselves have not been altered, but have been extended, enriched in texture, and presented in different ways. The melodic lines serve as a point of departure for the proliferation of a distinct harmonic vocabulary for each song. Within the overall folk idiom of the piece, each song has its own flavour and character.

Optional drum and tambourine parts enhance this madrigal-influenced tune, which includes a festive Fa-la-la section in counterpoint. Well-crafted vocal parts are easy to learn and continue to develop as the song unfolds. This would make a festive processional for holiday performances of any kind.

The wind is cold, the branches bare, but hearts are warm and bright. Despite the chill of December, it'' all about hope, peace, and kindling kindness. As you'd expect from a round, a simple melody easily stacks into a complete choral texture. Even better, the conservative-range tune ensures a good fit for all voices. Groups of any age will master the canonic form and enjoy delivering the heartfelt, non-holiday message.

You know this Christmas carol, but you've never heard it like this before! Alan Billingsley's contemporary interpretation brings the traditional tune up to date. The SATB voicing sounds great a cappella, while a funky accompaniment works well to support the SAB and SSA. Bass and drums on the optional SoundTrax CD pump up the R&B groove, or add your own vocal percussion.

UPC: 038081563053. English. Words by William Butler Yeats.

Lilting music resembles a folk song from the British Isles in this happy setting of Yeats' text, inspired by memories of childhood summers spent in the Irish countryside. The 12-line poem expresses a city-dweller's longing for the simple, tranquil life of Innisfree. Includes proven part-singing strategies---the tune first appears in unison, then becomes a canon; a peaceful bridge passes the melody through lower voice parts, while others sing sweet counterlines; and a modulation leads to full triadic harmony.

With the help of the arranger, this English tune sings a story from the Victorian Era of a girl who sewed and was delighted to receive a “paper of pins” from her suitor along with a host of other gifts, though all she wishes is for his heart. A wonderful selection filled with interesting and musical moments for young women's ensembles and choirs.
