Good news for male choruses this setting by Stacey Gibbs never expands to divisi voices as he so often does. OK there are a few chords near the end but that's it. That means this joyful Spiritual can work with about any size choir in church or in concert. Great for high school college and community choirs. Easy.

Pavane by Gabriel Faure contains one of the most luxurious and haunting melodies. With a stirring text by Rev. Russell Kane Allan Petker cultivated a choral setting that has been popular for years. This new edition isset for 2-part mixed voices with keyboard and optional obbligato. For Lent Communion or general use.

Using a cappella voices and violin obbligato this new American sea-chantey mourns the loss of the storyteller's love Annabel Lee. An excellent concert piece for high school.

Stacey Gibbs has built a reputation for outstanding arrangements of spirituals. Many ACDA performances and commissions later we are proud to announce the Stacey Gibbs Choral Series. Only Stacey could deliver a new setting of this famous spiritual that honors its heritage and breathes new life at the same time. College choirs high school chamber choirs and church choirs will enjoy this new setting.

A new addition to the Houston Children's Chorus Classic Series this Baroque anthem has been excellently arranged by the Series conductor Steve Roddy. Typical suspensions and resolutions from this Italian composer grace theanthem. Marge Roddy's fitting text is doubled with an alternate wedding lyric that make this a wonderful concert selection.

This new setting of the Welsh melody used in the motion picture Empire of the Sun works well with piano or harp accompaniment. The carol-like text also makes it a perfect selection for Christmas.

Mendelssohn's final chorus from Psalm 95 has been excerpted and arranged for SAB voices by scholar Robert S. Hines. The three parts sing easily in counterpoint and the resulting harmonies are lovely. Excellent for church or concert.

The text from Matthew 11:28-30 forms the lyric framework for this expressive anthem. Gentle vocal echoes and rich harmonies create an atmosphere of peace andserenity.

John Dowland (1562-1626) has been rediscovered thanks mainly to a new album by the recording artist Sting which features the music of this great English Renaissance composer. Edited by scholar Dr. William Belan the music isprovided in contemporary notation as well as in individual parts as they were first presented.

In a few short years Richard Burchard has become one of the most sought-after and commissioned composers for choral music. His choral writing is romantic and rich harmonically with dense contrapuntal lines. Now he has brought that excellence into an extended work on the Seven Last Words accompanied by divisi strings. This is a breath-taking work. A keyboard reduction for organ that can also accompany the work has been provided. It is a sacred piece that will also perform well in concert venues. Church community and college choirs will find this a worthy piece to program. Medium in difficulty.

Commissioned by the National AGO Rosephanye created THE CRY OF JEREMIAH for choir organ and orchestra. The 4 movement work has been a tremendous success also available with a reduced percussion accompaniment. This is the dynamic opening movement which demands our attention from start to finish. A great anthem for church or concert.

Halloran's setting of this spiritual has long been established as the definitive arrangement. Dick Bolks has revoiced it for SSAA choir and included an accompaniment. Jack's classic edition rings through thanks to Mr. Bolks' superb handling of the task.
