CoverSulle Mulle [level: Medium]
arr. Alo Ritsing | Baltic Series edited by Vance Wolverton
voicing: TTBB | catalog number: SBMP 182 | price: $2.15
accompaniment: a cappella

Vance Wolverton: The last thing I expected to find in Estonia was Barbershop-style singing, but that is exactly what "Sulle Mulle" is. The infectious dotted rhythm of the soprano melody is underlaid by an equally infectious rhythmic ostinato in the alto parts. "Sulle Mulle" should be sung with great gusto and highly exaggerated pronunciation for optimal effect. Sing it in the original language, or use the excellent English version.

CoverThe Dark Around Us, Come [level: Medium]
Giselle Wyers | Giselle Wyers Choral Series
Digital Room Octavo
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1528 | price: $1.75
accompaniment: piano

This setting of Wendell Berry’s evocative poem “The Dark Around Us Come” can be sung as a stand-alone piece, or as the completion of a set of pieces Giselle Wyers calls “Three Hymns for the Earth”: 1: “The Dark Around Us Come, 2: I Go Among Trees, and 3: “The Waking”.

In this poem, Berry describes an imaginary tribunal of all the elements and creatures of the earth, including humans: “light, leaf, foot, hand, and wing”. These living creatures meet in darkness- a darkness of spirit, or the literal darkness of a shadowed forest, to attempt reconciliation. Wendell Berry seems to suggest that humankind must come to “know” all of the earth and join in harmony with the planet as “One household high and low” so that "all the earth shall sing.” This piece embodies the sorrow of our failings to reconcile with the earth, but ends with a poignant hope and optimism, as is reflected in Berry’s simple yet radiant text. The composer hopes by singing this work, we will find a way towards “rejoicing mind and eye, rejoining known and knower."
