This darling little charmer reads like step-by-step instructions for assembling a jigsaw puzzle. Andy's writing provides the perfect lesson plan to teach part-singing: Part II sings an eight-bar melody, Part I sings their complementary eight bars, the two combine, we add some simple parallel harmony on the refrain, and voilà ! Teachers will thoroughly appreciate the easy-to-play piano part and compact vocal ranges (no one sings higher or lower than a D). In a surprise, not-so-hidden message, the lyrics explain that the pieces are scattered, not broken, and though they have come apart, when they fit back together, we'll have a wonderful work of art. It's a double metaphor about points of view, or voice parts, coming together.

Paul D. Weber writes a beautiful and graceful anthem with a text by Jaroslav Vajda, reflecting on the Parables of the Lost. The lyrical melody is sung in unison and canon, and the accompanying flutes provide a sense of seeking. Use this anthem when the stories of the Lost Coin, Lost Sheep, or Lost Son are included in the lectionary readings.

There is a word in South Africa, Ubuntu, which recognizes that we are better as individuals and entire communities when we root ourselves in relationships. When we care for each other and embrace our essential unity, humanity thrives. This very special original song invites singers and audience members to live Ubuntu, connected as one global family. Two-part singers will quickly learn the naturally syncopated hook, echo phrases, and no fuss harmony. A small drum circle, an opening narrator, a few rap soloists, and some resonant descant voices guarantee an impressive performance. This is the type of piece you'd hear at convention, hope your kids can handle, and then rejoice when you realize they can!
