Three-Part Treble with Optional Hand Percussion-When I Sing is a new ChroalQuest work by Rosephanye Powell that expresses the joys of choral singing! The text written in collaboration with the girls chorus of Auburn Junior High School in Alabama moves from I to We in this rhythmic soulful piece and gives young singers the opportunity to experiment with circle song structure. ChoralQuest« an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for middle-level choir is a program published by the American Composers Forum. The series is designed to breathe new life into the available repertoire for choral students in middle school and junior high. At the heart of this program are new works written by a diverse group ofleading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Based on the success of ACF's decade-long BandQuest« program ChoralQuest has a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece.
