Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.928962 Composed by American Traditional Lullaby. Arranged by Donald A. Mills. A Cappella,Children,Folk,Traditional. Octavo. 2 pages. Donald A Mills #3372897. Published by Donald A Mills (A0.928962). This song is a lullaby, a traditional American folk song. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: All the Pretty Little Horses (also known as Hush-a-bye) is a traditional lullaby from the Early United States. The origin of this song is not fully known, but the song is commonly thought to be of African American origin, yet the tune is more easily identified as English or Scottish in origin. This SATB a cappella arrangement by Donald A. Mills ranges in the middle-to-upper levels of expertise. The singers must have a command of breath control, of keeping the tonal center under control, and in an ability to sing in a dissonant chord. The song's duration is comfortable for concert or competition. This beautiful tune is not commonly recognized but is a long-standing lullaby in the American tradition of music.Also available here as a ttbb arrangement.Your chorus and your audiences will love the sweet words, harmonies and melody. Such a rich American tradition. Sing the song as a soft lullaby, in a dream-state. Softly...softly...gently. See and hear more arrangements and compositions by Donald A. Mills at www.SheetMusicPlus.com by entering his name in the search rectangle of that web site.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.886923 Composed by Isaac Watts. Arranged by Justin M. Ryan. Baroque,Contemporary,Easter,Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. Justin M. Ryan #3049153. Published by Justin M. Ryan (A0.886923). The hymn, When I Survey the Wondrous Cross, was written by Isaac Watts, and published in Hymns and Spiritual Songs in 1707. It is significant for being an innovative departure from the early English hymn style of only using paraphrased biblical texts, although the first two lines of the second verse do paraphrase St Paul at Galatians 6:14. The poetry of When I survey... may be seen as English literary baroque.[1] The hymn's fourth verse (His dying crimson...) is commonly omitted in printed versions, a practice that began with George Whitefield in 1757.[2]This arrangement is for SATB Choir and is performed at a Moderate tempo. It is broken up into 4 verses plus please watch verse 3. The Soprano melody has been slightly adjusted but still follows the same harmonic movement as in Vs. 1 and 2. Enjoy this wonderful Lenten Classic.Tune Information Composer: Lowell Mason (1824) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Incipit: 11232 34323 33343 Key: F Major or modal Source: Adapted from a Gregorian Chant

SATB choir unaccompanied - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.1.3407-E Composed by James McCullough. Secular, 20th Century, Creation/Nature, Folk Song. 10 pages. Duration 4 minutes, 45 seconds. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3407-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3407-E). English. Psalms 55:6.This haunting folk tune is classified as Type I, which are hymns sung to settings of traditional ballad tunes. This classification was devised by Phillips Barry (1880–1937), who was a pioneering Early American folk hymn specialist and folk tune collector. The melody of O Tell Me Where the Dove Has Flown is in the Dorian mode. It is repeated five times in this edition, making the design of the entire work strophic in structure. The text authorship of the verses is unknown, rendering them as a traditional text. This setting includes five of the surviving six ABAB rhymed verses.This work was first performed in 1965 by the Boston University Marsh Chapel Choir conducted by Dr. Max Miller in a worship service. Duration: 4:45.

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1393984 Composed by Martin Shaw (1875-1958). Arranged by John Ross. 20th Century,Christian,Religious,Sacred. 10 pages. John Ross #977437. Published by John Ross (A0.1393984). In 1915 the English composer Martin Shaw (1875-1958) wrote the hymn-tune High Road. Its vigorous and intensely lively tune is a perfect match for the words Let all the world in every corner sing by the English poet and priest George Herbert (1593-1633). High Road appeared in various hymnals of the early 20th century but has since slipped out of common use. The present arrangement expands the hymn-tune into an SATB anthem.

SATB choir divisi and piano - Moderately Easy - Digital Download SKU: MQ.50-6094-E Composed by Benjamin Kornelis. Lent. 8 pages. MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music #50-6094-E. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers - Digital Sheet Music (MQ.50-6094-E). English.The poetic early 20th-century text explores the vast reach of God's love by contrasting it to human experiences. The first half of Benjamin Kornelis's tune is sturdy and pentatonic—lending an early American feel, and the second half softens, introducing the 7th of the scale. Additional contrasts—between unison and divisi voices, accompanied and a cappella sections, and the build-up and release of tension—act in service to the text throughout. The piece ends, after a climax in the last stanza, with a gentle restatement of the opening phrase: The love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell. Duration 3:00.

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1096166 Composed by Karen Ivana. 21st Century,A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Medieval. 4 pages. Karen Ivana #700123. Published by Karen Ivana (A0.1096166). This carol is set to words taken from a Medieval lyric (circa 1400) which may be one of the oldest poems in the English language about Mary and Jesus. It has been described as one of the first Christmas carols, and tells of the Annunciation, where the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary telling her she would bear a child.This music is for four part mixed choir (SATB) and is based on a beautiful original folk tune (in Phrygian mode) and takes harmonic inspiration from early music but with a twentieth century English feel. It is gentle and reflective with some gorgeous harmonies and melodies; a successful performance requires a reasonable level of intonation and phrasing.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1077080 Composed by William Henry Monk. Arranged by Piacere Music Sheets. A Cappella,Praise & Worship,Romantic Period,Sacred,Spiritual. Octavo. 10 pages. Piacere Music Sheets #681177. Published by Piacere Music Sheets (A0.1077080). Opus/Catalog Number: IWM 1 Key/Tone: E flat major Movements/Sections: Andante Year/Date of Composition: 1861 Difficulty: Grade 2/12 (Easy) Obs.: This hymn is sung by Christians all over the world in times of sorrow and deep distress. The lyrics were written in 1847 by Henry Francis Lyte, an English pastor, poet and musician, only a few weeks before he died from tuberculosis. He was inspired by Saint Luke's account of Christ's appearance with His two disciples on the way to Emmaus: They urged Him strongly: Stay with us, for it is nearly evening; the day is almost over. (Luke 24:29). The music was composed by William Henry Monk, music editor of the famous Anglican Church hymnal Hymns Ancient and Modern, and it was included in the first edition of that hymnal in 1861. Mrs. Monk has described in her own words the context: This tune was written at a time of great sorrow - when together we watched, as we did daily, the glories of the setting sun. As the last golden ray faded, he took some paper and penciled that tune which has gone all over the earth. This score is the complete version of Abide With Me for choir SATB. Included: Full score and separated parts for each voice.

Choral Choir,Choral (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1228242 By Frank Sinatra. By George Gershwin and Ira Gershwin. Arranged by John Fries. 20th Century. 4 pages. John Fries #824360. Published by John Fries (A0.1228242). Please contact me by email at jfries@ptd.net to make a special request or to find out all that I have to offer and to express your comments or concerns. Thanks, John.  This song began life in 1930 as a nine-bar phrase with the working title There's No Stopping Me Now.  Its title phrase Nice work if you can get it came from an English magazine.  It was one of nine songs the Gershwin brothers wrote for the movie A Damsel in Distress in which it was performed by Fred Astaire with backing vocals by The Stafford Sisters.  The song was published in 1937.  The first jazz recording of the work was by Tommy Dorsey three weeks after the release of the film.  The song was recorded by many jazz singers and adopted by bebop instrumentalists; Jerry Newman recorded pianist Thelonious Monk performing the tune in 1941 at Minton's Playhouse, a nightclub closely connected with early bebop, and he subsequently recorded it several times.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1143904 Composed by Igor Korneitchouk. 20th Century,A Cappella,Contemporary,Religious. Octavo. 37 pages. Studio at the Post #744209. Published by Studio at the Post (A0.1143904). Duration: 16 minutes, 33 pp. Description: Exodus is a great story that belongs to everyone. Not only is it central to Judaism, not only is it integral to the Christian Bible, it is an immortal story that has been, and continues to be, an inspiration to oppressed peoples everywhere on this planet. It is relevant not just as ancient scripture but as living text, to be rediscovered by each new generation of an ever-widening Family of Man. The theme of struggle against oppression and slavery was just as relevant to the early Christians persecuted in Ancient Rome as it was relevant to the American Civil Rights movement of the 1960's, just as relevant to the Soviet Jews wishing to emigrate as it is to the South African Blacks resisting Apartheid. From the Dark Ages and the Spanish Inquisition, to Ghandi's emancipation of India, to the Holocaust, to, full-circle, the ongoing struggles in Palestine today, the story of Exodus is a guiding light in a dim and often grim world. According to the composer: The Story of a Leader is a collection of ‘re-chorales’ I created one summer when I was totally immersed in a post-educational obsession with the 371 Chorales by Johann Sebastian Bach. We used to study these to learn the rules of harmony and voice-leading (no parallel fifths, avoid crossed voices, etc.) at the Cleveland Institute of Music where I began my compositional career. That summer, now a professor of music in my own right, I discovered many broken and bent rules by the master himself and, along with the glory of being able to work through these Chorales myself at the piano, I felt an incredible feeling of liberation and possibilities unmediated by instructors of music theory. I began by stripping away all that Bach wrote, leaving only the hymn tunes which were not his to begin with. These tunes existed long before Bach used them for his tonal experiments, some attributed to Martin Luther, or someone else, others simply listed as ‘anonymous’. The same is true for the texts, which were then translated into English mostly in the 19th century (the provenance of each can be found herein on the first page of each of my reharmonizations). In some cases I modified the text to fit the context. I selected 12 of these ‘re-chorales,’ linking them together based on their texts in a kind of logic that worked for me, and created a narrative that told The Story of a Leader (Moses). This story is highlighted in the music with such techniques as cross-modal harmonies, points of imitation, a beer drinking song in one instance, and in another, to symbolize the parting of the seas for Moses’ people, an inversion of the soprano line in the bass..
