Andrea Ramsey : At the Spring Dawn

Poet Angelina Weld Grimke was an important figure in the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920s. Here she describes the dawning of a new day, a text captured by the composer in colorful and descriptive writing. Scored for marimba (optional piano) and treble voices, this is a beautiful example of word painting as the choir sings, it is good to love, it is good to be alive.

Composer: Andrea Ramsey

A colorful and evocative piano accompaniment underpin a colorful choral setting of this beautiful late romantic text. The ranges for the women's voices are set in a way that will help build their technique while also building for success. This is a real winner for women's choirs.

Composer: Kevin T. Padworski

British singer/songwriter Laura Mvula has crafted a song portraying the cycle of life of a female and the accompanying questions, emotions, and feelings of desperation. These emotions are captured beautifully in this arrangement for women's voices. The pop style is strong and free and a wonderful opportunity for your women's choirs to connect to these important lyrics in an arrangement that never gets in the way of the powerful emotions.
