Here is a stunning choral work inspired by the beauty of an autumn day. A lyric melody, lush harmonies, and a poetic text are combined with a sensitive piano accompaniment to paint a colorful musical picture. You can almost see the leaves take flight when your choir sings the melodic refrain, and you will get a true sense of foliage falling layer upon layer as the second verse begins to echo and overlap. An expressive choral piece for concert and contest.

Composer: Andy Beck

"Sing we a song that takes but a minute." This clever a cappella original captures all of the character and charm of a true Renaissance madrigal and adds a touch of timeless (or rather, "timed") humor. Two brief verses and three short refrains of classic choral singing that only takesàwell, you knowàto sing.

Composer: Donald Moore

A unique arrangement of one of the all-time great friendship songs . . . unique because it can be performed with a swing beat OR with even eighth notes. The straightforward treatment means it's easy-to-learn in just a few rehearsals so it's perfect for the beginning . . . or the end . . . of the school year. A good choice for movement.

Especially arranged for double 3-part mixed or SSA choirs, each phrase of this famous Italian madrigal is sung by Choir I and repeated precisely by Choir II, many times overlapping to create a textured choral sound. Russell Robinson's masterful adaptation includes an English or Italian text, a useful pronunciation guide, and informative performance notes that will help educate your students.
