1. Oh, the Beautiful Treasure; 2. We Will Walk with Mother and Mourn; 3. Hop Up and Jump Up. Explore the American heritage of Shaker hymnody with these three settings of lesser-known, very appealing Shaker spirituals. Each brief setting grows from its underlying melody to make an exceptionally unified arrangement. With a different technique as the focus for each arrangement, these minute-long pieces make fine vocalises for your choir. Oh the beautiful treasure, with its square rhythms, horn calls, and harmonic texture opening out and closing, is excellent for teaching chord tuning. We will walk with Mother and mourn, with its smooth, stepwise, rising and falling melody, is a fine exercise for legato singing. Hop up and jump up, with its crisp rhythms and phrase fragments tossed from part to part, calls for rhythmic clarity and clean entrances and cutoffs. SSAA a cappella; 13 pages, plus editorial notes; duration: 3:15 min.; range: g to f; difficulty: easy-medium; from the Nina Gilbert Choral Series.

This powerful choral anthem was written by Broadway songwriters Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty in honor of the 40th anniversary of The Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, DC. Lynn's text uses harmony as a metaphor to represent acceptance, and Stephen's inspirational music is a canvas of hope and strength. Robust piano, bass, and drum parts provide a sturdy pop accompaniment for three full voicings designed to accommodate any four-part group.

SSAA, a cappella

For SSAA, a cappella. Composed by Maria Löfberg. Vocal/Choral, Secular Choral. A cappella. Choral Octavo. Treble Clef Music Press #80300167. Published by Treble Clef Music Press (SU.80300167).

This supple and mellifluous setting seems to grow from plainchant--its largely stepwise motion grows naturally out of text accents, and individual sections are singled out now and then, for variety in texture. This deceptively simple piece is intelligent and lovely. SSAA a cappella; duration: 2’00; range: a-g; difficulty: medium.

A single voice states the opening phrase before it returns in ethereal 4-part women's harmony in this gorgeous setting of the mass text. Close harmonies and gentle motivic imitations throughout invite an intimate sense of wonder. Intricate divisi writing provides a satisfying challenge for advanced choirs. Highly recommended!
