Practical, timeless advice abounds in this jaunty contemporary choral with texts lifted from Renaissance-era poetry and a translation of ancient verse.

Bongo and hand drum accompaniment highlight this African-styled work filled with rhythmic intensity. The simple "alleluia" text allows the melodic and rhythmic lines to take center stage. An add-on section makes it an exciting piece, building to a powerful finish.
Written in response to numerous unfortunate tragedies in 2016, "Agnus Dei" (with a text from the Requiem Mass) honors the memory of victims. Two chromatic, contrary vocal lines weave over an insistent single note, which tolls in the piano until all voices combine in meditative, reflective, somber harmony.
The title provides an important timestamp for an unprecedented year. Veteran choral composer Jay Althouse constructed this very special work in remembrance of lives lost during the pandemic. His setting of the traditional Latin text is built upon a melody inspired by nature: "Near the end of my walk that day, I heard a bird singing three notes over and over again. I came home and began writing. The bird's song is the first three notes of the opening melody." Solemn, prayerful, and poignant.

Much repetition and a catchy makes this 7/8 number deceptively easy to learn. Opens with eight measures in 7/8, then a smooth, homophonic andante section in 4/4, followed by a repeat of the opening 7/8 section. Great for competitions and festivals.
Andrew Lloyd Webber has added his own special touch to a new musical adaptation of The Wizard of Oz. Here's a fantastic choral arrangement of Glinda's new heartfelt ballad, sung to Dorothy and Toto.
