Allan Robert Petker: Sing Noel: SATB: Vocal Score

Sir Walter Raleigh wrote down some enjoyable words about eating and years later Allan Petker has set them to music. It may sound like a seafaring song or an English drinking ode but the theme is food and baked together the harvest is ripe.

In this children's musical the Christmas story is told through a delightful and funny text and six joyful songs. A mingling ofwell-known carols and new songs make this a fun and easy project.

Designed and commissioned as a concert opening piece “I Will Sing ” demands attention and drafts even the most reserved into singing. Available with optional brass (2 tpts 2 tbns) and percussion the accompaniment iscrisp and rhythmic. The choral sentences are exuberant and driving and soon break into canon. A soft and reflective middle section exalts the oneness of God before a return to the opening fanfare. Ending with strength andexcitement it is great for festival and general use.

This choral piece uses canons to create a showcase for choirs that is absolutely irresistible! The captivating melody dances in your imagination until you can't help but sing along!

SATB-Commissioned for the 50th anniversary of the Los Cancioneros Chorale in Los Angeles this 8-minute work combines classical themes with a syncopated rhythm. The opening and closing sections are fast and driving while the middlesections are more serene. Based on Psalm 100 (Make a Joyful Noise) the work is fitting for concert or church use. Although performable with organ and piano the original orchestration includes strings harp and percussion.
