Written by songwriting legend Johnny Mercer, Dream has been covered by artists from Ella Fitzgerald to Michael Bublé.

These Last Gifts, for a cappella chorus, is a setting of Robert Fitzgerald’s translation of an elegiac poem by the Latin poet Gaius Valerius Catullus (84-54 BC). The poem spoke powerfully to me as it addresses the premature death of a brother, something I experienced myself. It was on a journey to Bithynia, what is today a part of northwestern Turkey, that Catullus visited the grave of his brother and wrote this lament. The work was premiered by the Harmonium Choral Society of Morristown, New Jersey, Anne Matlack, Artistic Director. SATB Chorus, a cappella Duration: 5'30 Composed: 2015 Published by: Distributed Composer Minimum order quantity: 8 copies. To order quantities fewer than 8.

The great Harold Arlen wrote this for an unsuccessful Broadway play. But you can't keep a good song down. This has been recorded by Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Goodman and many more. Here is a treatment that begins with the choir in unison for the first two verses establishing an easy swing style. The bridge keeps swinging but with tight harmony and it is followed by a dynamite choral scat section. It goes out swinging as hard as it began but with hip, jazzy harmony and a Basie ending.
