Invictus [level: Medium] Nancy Hill Cobb | Robert J. Ward Choral Series
voicing: TTBB | catalog number: SBMP 1025 | duration: 3:30 | price: $1.95
accompaniment: piano
A song of bravery and hope, the ending phrase proclaims “I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul.” The music majestically projects the meaning of the text, and a bravado piano accompaniment provides great support and vitality.

Sanctus [level: Medium] Randall Johnson | Randy and Rachel Stenson Choral Series
voicing: TTBB | catalog number: SBMP 1045 | duration: 3:35 | price: $2.25
accompaniment: piano, tympani
Upbeat and dramatic, an optional timpani joins the piano to add to the rhythmic drive of this outstanding piece. The traditional Sanctus text leads to aleatoric treatment of ”Praise God” in several languages, accompanied by the baritones in unison singing the “Old Hundredth” melody, that text in English:
“From all that dwell below the skies,
Let songs of hope and faith arise,
Let peace, goodwill on earth be sung,
Through every land on every tongue.” A recapitulation of the rhythmic Sanctus concludes the piece.

Take, O Take Those Lips Away [level: Medium] piano accomp.: Mary Ellen Loose - J. Edmund Hughes | Edith Copley Choral Series
voicing: TB | catalog number: SBMP 1029 | duration: 1:50 | price: $1.95
accompaniment: piano
This piece can do well on its own merit, or it can be joined by two others in a unique Shakespeare Suite, each piece being for a different voicing. To perform all three, divide the SATB choir, the women getting their turn first with Sigh No More Ladies (SBMP 1028); next the men perform Take, O Take Those Lips Away; and finally all join in with It Was a Lover and His Lass (SBMP 1030). Clever writing abounds for both the voices and the piano. Add a bit of staging to make the performance extra special.
