Rhythmic vitality and melodic invention characterize this jubilant original! An engaging theme is peppered with occasional mixed meter and the general nature of the text makes the piece appropriate for school or church use. A contrasting lyrical B section opens up into three-part mixed harmony, giving directors an opportunity to work on blend and balance. A quick learn!

Composer: Patricia Mock

Vivid rhythms and exciting minor to major tonalities are the hallmark of this concert selection. Fine choral writing for young voices is brilliantly displayed, with great vocal ranges for the changing voice and a mixture of textures and styles. An excellent festival showcase.

Composer: Victor C. Johnson

John Jacobson and Mac Huff set out with the goal of writing a song that would motivate people to celebrate our differences and stand together with P.R.I.D.E. Written for the World Arts Festival of Freeport, IL with a mission stating that art and creativity are tools for building a better future, this is a song with a world music feel, a powerful drum beat and music that is as up-beat as the message.

Composer: Mac Huff | Performed By: Dizzy Gillespie
