'Wait on the Lord' is based on the text in Psalm 27:14 and Isaiah 40:31, put together by Rosephanye Powell. This beautifully harmonized piece starts out with the basses, then builds, adding each voice one at a time until measure 13 when all voices are singing together. 'The Word Was God' is another text by Rospehanye Powell, based on John 1:1-3. In this piece, both the male voices and the female voices get their opportunities to shine. Each part is divisi at one point or another. Robert H. Young's 'Show Us Your Mercy, O Lord,' is based on the text in Psalm 85:7-11,13. In this piece, the women split up into gorgeous four-part harmony, the men's voices create a great vocal accompanyment throughout. Robert h. Young's other gem, 'The Christ-Child' is an excellently composed choral with a few divisi parts to sweeten-up the lush chords throughout. His 'Treasures in Heaven' is another piece not to be missed with ample amounts of soli men and women sections throughout. The challenging chord progressions and multiple dynamic changes will allow your large advanced choir to show their chops |
