This poem has long been a favorite of singers due to its deep passion and expressive imagery, not to mention the warm vowels at the end of each line. In this artistic setting, Greg Gilpin incorporates a contemporary harmonic palette, expressive tempo nuances, and elegant dynamic shading to form a colorful garden of sound. The final chord suggests the rose/thorn quality of love, as singers sustain sweet dissonance. Give special consideration to the S.S.A. voicing---the romantic text may have great appeal to your ladies.

This is a refreshing setting of a Robert Burns text sure to lend variety and life to your next concert or contest performance. The underlying eighth notes remain constant as grouped in twos or three within the meters as they shift between 4/4, 7/8, 3/8, and 6/8. A middle section gives respite in 4/4 meter as the singers proclaim, I will love thee still, my dear, Till all the seas run dry. A challenging work for high school or community choirs, but worth the effort.

SATB div., Piano.

Perhaps the oldest song of friendship, Robert Burns wrote the words to Auld Lang Syne in 1788 and set them to music using the melody of a previously existing Scottish folk song. This tune was later changed to the version most often heard today. Both melodies are presented here in this masterful Paul Clark arrangement that musically evokes warm memories of the past, and a positive feeling of friendship and hope for the future. Opportunities for musicality and expressive playing make it appropriate for bands of a wide range of experience. Auld Lang Syne is the perfect closing selection for your Holiday, or any, concert!
