SSAA choir, harp, and keyboard - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.6420-E Composed by David Conte. Christmas, Christmas-Sacred. 12 pages. Duration 2 minutes, 15 seconds. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #6420-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.6420-E). English.Released in 2007, this original setting of an anonymous 19th-century text is written in verse-anthem style. The scoring for chorus, harp, and keyboard makes it an ideal companion piece for Britten’s A Cermony of Carols and Susa’s Carols and Lullabies. Equally effective with organ or piano, making it practical for use in both churches and schools. This is especially true for the three new arrangements with keyboard accompaniment only. Duration 2:15.

Published by Kathleen McGuire (A0.1093646). The Seattle Women's Chorus originally commission this rollicking arrangement, which includes optional accompaniment for alto sax, trumpet, synthesizer, electric guitar, bass guitar and drums (parts and full score available separately). The melody in the verses passes between the altos and the sopranos, with rich 4-part harmony in the choruses. With the success of the new stage musical Nine to Five, this is a timely song to add to any women's choir repertoire.

Octavo. 14 pages. Duration 2 minutes, 55 seconds. Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital #1.3488-E. Published by Galaxy Music Corporation - Digital (MQ.1.3488-E). UPC: 600313134883. English.In 2002, I was commissioned by the Turtle Creek Chorale to compose a three-movement star-themed piece for their upcoming 'celestial' concert. I immediately knew that I wanted strings and celeste to serve as my 'heavenly' accompaniment; but what text should I choose? After immersing myself in poetry, I whittled it down to three that sang to me: Creator of the Universe, a Plato translation; We Are the Stars, an Algonquin Native-American poem; and (I couldn’t resist) Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856134 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Christmas. Octavo. 2 pages. Liz Garnett #3023031. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856134). This traditional carol tells of one of the darker parts of the Christmas story, the slaughter of the innocents, from the perspective of the mothers whose children are torn from their arms. The arrangement takes the haunting, plaintive melody, and turns the 'lully-lullay' of a lullaby into the tolling of a bell. The order to slay the children wrenches the music into a new key, and the final verse is bare, halting, desolate.Ranges:Tenor: G4-F5Lead: D#4-D5Bari: A flat 3 - A4Bass: F3 - F#4(N.B.

Written during a time where women's voices were often silenced, and just one year after her marriage, Night Song at Amalfi vibrantly illustrates the stuggle to be a woman in a society that expected women to be submissive, and the stark reality that she andmany other women faced.While women's rights have made great strides over the years, women and other minority groups still stuggle to have their voices heard. This song is for all of them.This piece was commissioned by the New Canon Project, a partnership between the American Choral Directors Association, the American String Teachers Association, and Rising Tide Music Press, with support of the Sphinx Venture Fund. This piece is written for school-aged groups, but is accessible to choirs of all levels and challenges the choir with part independence and modal writing. This piece starts out very open and celestial, then turns dark as the reality of unending silence setsin. There is hope, but also anger, confusion, and numbness. - Marina Quintanilla

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.507005 By Paula Cole. By Paula Cole. Arranged by David M. Hoyle. 20th Century,Classical,New Age,Pop,Rock. Octavo. 11 pages. Lindley Studios #117417. Published by Lindley Studios (A0.507005). Arrangement of The Ladder for 4-part women's choir: SSAA and piano/keyboard. The lyrics are in a confessional style, while there's a theme of self-determination in the metaphorical ladder of the refrain... The song features on Paula Cole's debut album Harbinger (1994) and runs the gamut of emotions from the urgent, unaccompanied opening strains and melancholy of the verses – to the striving, optimistic, melodic refrain and the joyous climax with divided voices. The original main vocal melody is given to the first sopranos, with the rest of the choir offering a gentle, rhythmicised ah accompaniment in the verses. The crunchy chords and occasional dissonances of the original are dramatised and intensified by the live choral setting. The piano part often operates independently, providing harmonic and rhythmic support and a robust bass in louder passages. No sheet music was originally issued with the song – perhaps because of the richly detailed texture of the women's backing voices – and this arrangement by David M. Hoyle represents the first commercially-available transcription/arrangement.
