Daisy Fragoso : Deus Meus

Based on Ruth 1:16, Deus Meus highlights the friendship shared between Ruth and Naomi, teaching the importance of loyalty and commitment. Set with Latin text, the piece provides opportunities for singers to perfect pure vowel sounds while singing gentle, legato phrases.

Composer: Daisy Fragoso

Will Lopes : La Vida

La Vida is a Latin-style piece that blends the Spanish text with the syncopated and energetic Brazilian style, Choro-Samba. The text celebrates life with an encouraging worry-free message to live life fully every day. To capture this exciting text, La Vida incorporates word-playing, melodic imitation, body movements, and a dynamic piano accompaniment to keep it in the groove.

Douglas Beam : The Arrow and the Song

Longfellow's famous poem is set here with beauty and simplicity for treble voices. Soaring, echoing melodies feature on top of the rolling, syncopated accompaniment. The piece was commissioned for the 30th Anniversary of the Palatine Children's Chorus.

Composer: Douglas Beam

Henry H. Leck : Two South African Freedom Songs (Singabahambayo, Haleluya! Pel tsa rona)

Available separately: 3-Part Treble a cappella; SATB a cappella.
