- Ev'ry Night When the Sun Goes Down
- arr. D. Shawn Berry
- The title song is joined by another American folk song, ANGELS WATCHING
OVER ME. This arrangement really sings. The independence of parts will

- Gloria
- Debra Lynn
- GLORIA was composed for choirs with substantially fewer male than female
members. The piece presents opportunities for choirs to gain a sense of
accomplishment and understanding:Themes are anticipated in the accompaniment
making pitches easier to find and changes in patterns easier to remember.Short
a cappella sections help give singers a sense of accomplishment and offer
an effective ghance in texture for listeners.The use of polyphony makes
all parts important; unison singing adds to the strength of the piece.
