Dale Warland Choral Series-The Whole Sea In Motion sets a prose text from Agnes Grey a 1907 novel by the British author Anne Brontë. In choosing this text to set the composer was struck by the first sentence which begins 'Nolanguage can describe [...] the sky and ocean' and then proceeds to do just that detailing the narrator's experience of the ocean in a vivid keen language. Within the musical setting of the text the ocean is representedalternately in the ebbing and flowing of the aleatoric Piano accompaniment and in overlapping melodic lines in the chorus. Duration: ca. 5 min

William Schuman's setting of a poem by Genevieve Taggard takes as its theme the necessity of simple pleasures and the importance of each person. This version is for upper voices. The song is in a loose rondo form and the music alternates between the main jerky almost angry music and the smooth but still precise middle section with its growing self-belief.

Originally composed for Anne Akiko Meyers and then orchestrated for Marin Alsop's 20th season at the Cabrillo Festival of Contemporary Music this lovely lyric work was transcribed for band under the composer's supervision.Accessible to musicians and audiences yet extremely sensitive with its dramatic sonorities the music is both soothing and subtle even as the tonality is stretched.

Score-Arguably America's most notable art song Samuel Barber's masterwork has been brilliantly arranged in this edition for strings by John Moss. Written for voice in 1938 and based on text by noted poet James Agee Barber's music is highly emotional a quality apparent in this skilled setting for strings. With solo parts for violin and viola this edition is a superb opportunity to teach 20th century music at its very best.

Score and Parts-Composed as a tender tribute to a lost friend this was not meant to be a mournful piece but rather a joyous remembrance of a life ended too soon. The work features two primary themes that ebb and flow as the music progresses. Soaring melodic linesand rich orchestration help bring character and distinction to this effective and emotional piece. Dur: 4:00
