This set of seven movements uses a broad palette of choral orchestration. The first piece, "The Lands Around My Dwelling" (Inuit), features free and changing meters and frequent divisi. Movement two, "As My Eyes Search" (Chippewa), is energized by close canonic entries. Movement three "War Song" (Sioux), is a vigorous piece with canonic imitation and some tone clustering, starting with a single voice parts and expanding to full SSAATTBB texture. Movement four, "Love Song" (Nahuatl), in alternating 8/8 and 9/8 is a lyrical, rhapsodic setting of a ravishing text. Movement five, "Pleasant It Looked" (Winnebago), features a soprano soloist (imitating a boy soprano) and is a quiet meditation. Movement six, "Upward Going" (Tewa), is again move vigorous, and Movement seven "Two Dream Songs" (Wintu), concludes the work in a quiet benediction.

"Brave" - Celebrating the power of the human spirit and the connections between us, this contemporary pop anthem by Sara Bareilles encourages people to speak up and advocate for themselves. She wrote, there's so much honor and integrity and beauty in being able to be who you are, (and) it's important to be brave because by doing that you also give others permission to do the same. "Love Song" - This jazz/pop hit by soulful songwriter Sara Bareilles soared to the top of the Billboard charts and will showcase your singers at their best. "Winter Song" - This haunting song by Sara Bareilles and Ingrid Michaelson is a poetic reflection on the winter landscape and longing for love, with layered vocals and a rich harmonic underpinning. A starkly beautiful choice for winter programs and pop, jazz and concert ensembles. "Armor" - From Sara Bareilles' 2019 album Amidst the Chaos, here is an artful arrangement of this female-empowerment anthem. A solid rock back beat along with a gospel style piano part create a strong anthem for your women. "A Safe Place To Land" - This powerful and poignant ballad was written in response to the immigrant crisis which gripped the United States in 2018. Masterfully arranged by Mac for concert choirs. The a cappella opening sets the stage for a powerful choral ballad and sets up the important lyrics.

Stanford University's elite 15-man a cappella ensemble brings us "Fleet Street," a manic, dramatic, surprising, very funny collection of 15 originals, written, arranged and performed by the group. "The King of Plumland," "All Original," "Life Sized Barbie" puts the lie to the contention that there's no dating at Stanford; "Everyone Pees in the Shower" shines the harsh light of truth on humanity's dirty little secret; "Love Song" is a tender tale of kisses, double homicide and bodies under the floor; "Lawyer" is a crazed tale of what we all suspect goes on behind the scenes at "Boston Legal," "Olympic Recession," "Losing Laura," "Clear Skies," "Teen Angst" basically beats the concept to death, "Pokey the Penguin" is pure children's book silliness, "Life" describes your life in such a way that suicide is really the only option, "Gift of the Gods/The Dawn of Battle" and the final cut, "The Lords of A Cappella," with the deathless chorus line: "Although we may seem fearsome, we ain't got Salmonella, and we are the Lords of A Cappella!" This is inspired silliness, written especially by Michael Solomon, Michael Bernstein and others. "Fleet Street" is funny stuff that must either be enjoyed in a live performance with a pitcher of beer, or on this CD! All lyrics are featured on the foldout liner notes, which have a full-bleed closeup of a hunk of swiss cheese (don't ask!)
