original text is
beautifully harmonized
for women's voices in
this tender choral.
Gentle dissonances and
suspensions, as well as
expressive dynamics, lend
themselves to an emotive,
sensitive performance.
Simply gorgeous.

This
expressive medley
combines two beloved
Christmas carols,
creating a gentle
lullaby. Even so, it has
moments of joy that are
sung forte, and
lots of dynamic contrasts
that help the lyrics come
to life. As you work on
this piece, try to
remember the volume level
that is indicated in the
score. Its very easy to
sing everything
mezzo-forte while
you are learning words,
notes, and parts, then
add the dynamics in
later. However, when you
practice this way, you
will have to un-learn the

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.

Practical
, timeless advice abounds
in this jaunty
contemporary choral with
texts lifted from
Renaissance-era poetry
and a translation of
ancient verse. The
opening melody winds
around the tonic triad
before the B section
breaks into colorful
contemporary harmony in a
chorale setting. Light,
yet legit.
