Two German Chorales [level: Easy]
arr. Rebecca te Velde
| Robert J. Ward Choral Series
voicing: unison or 2 part | catalog number: SBMP 459 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: keyboard
Robert Ward: “When I think of music for young voices, I think of essentially conjunct melodic movement, limited vocal range, diatonic harmonic and melodic structure, and a supportive yet independent accompaniment. For this octavo, composer Rebecca te Velde has taken two very singable 16th century German chorales and breathed into them a fresh and vibrant keyboard accompaniment. These two chorales are perfect vehicles for teaching beautiful tone, intense legato singing, and accurate intonation. I have used them with the Stillwater Boys Choir and give them my highest recommendation.”

Vivos Voco [level: Difficult]
Joan Szymko
voicing: SSAA | catalog number: SBMP 615 | duration: 5:40

The text consists of Virtutes, literally, "moral virtues," the name given to the short statements inscribed (primarily in Latin) on church tower bells in medieval times. Bells rang outward, chasing away the evil spirits that were believed to hover over the rooftops, and upward, as prayers to the heavens. Not only were church bells rung to ward off evil spirits, but to protect the faithful from storms, fires, human enemies and disease.VIVOS VOCO I call the livingFLEO MORTUA I cry for the dyingMORTUOS PLANGO I wail for the deadCONSOLO VIVA I console the livingDISSIPO VENTOS I disperse the windsCOMPELLO NUBILA I drive away the overcast of the skyThe composer has provided great drama with handbells ringing high above the choir, as well as the piano doing its best to be imitative of bells. A very dramatic piece that is excellent for the large choir.

Within the Circles of Our LIves [level: Medium]
Giselle Wyers
| Giselle Wyers Choral Series
voicing: SSATB | catalog number: SBMP 1395 | duration: 4:25
| price: $2.05
accompaniment: a cappella
The profound text by Wendell Berry offers some possibilities for choirs wishing to add a bit of staging to their performance. The composer, reflecting on the text, uses ascending intervals of the fifth, sixth, and fourth as motives symbolic of a circle. At the conclusion, the sopranos having been together throughout, now divide into two parts, echoing each other to add to the drama of the ending. This is a cleverly constructed composition that will delight singers as they bring it to life.

Ye Jaliya-o [level: Medium]
Joan Szymko
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 726 | price: $2.60
accompaniment: percussion
From the notes by the composer: I am an admirer of traditional West African music, with its direct simplicity and wonderful rhythmic complexity. I have composed an original piece of music with text excerpts from “The Pulse of Life” by Catherine De Vinck interwoven with the dominant Lambango lyric:
“Ye Jaliya-o, Allah le ka Jaliya da”
Oh music, God created music.
The “you are the heart, you are the sound....” “Pulse of Life” chant begins as an undercurrent that rises and falls until it overtakes the piece. The rhythms in this piece are clearly African influenced, as is its tonality. The raised fourth (C sharp) is characteristic of Sauta, one of the kora traditional tunings. The kora is a 21 s. Also available in SSA.
