Published by Nicholas White Music (A0.1257177). A vigorous and engaging setting for chorus and organ of Amy Lowell's poem A Winter Ride.Who shall declare the joy of the running!      Who shall tell of the pleasures of flight!     Springing and spurning the tufts of wild heather,      Sweeping, wide-winged, through the blue dome of light.     Everything mortal has moments immortal,      Swift and God-gifted, immeasurably bright.     So with the stretch of the white road before me,      Shining snowcrystals rainbowed by the sun,     Fields that are white, stained with long, cool, blue shadows,      Strong with the strength of my horse as we run.     Joy in the touch of the wind and the sunlight!      Joy!  With the vigorous earth I am one.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.990685 Composed by Stephanie K. Andrews. Contemporary. Octavo. 29 pages. Stephanie K Andrews #6432151. Published by Stephanie K Andrews (A0.990685). Crystal Veil Suite was composed in 2018 for REVEL, an Austin, Texas based classical music group led by Dr. Carla McElhaney, and for Chorus Austin, also of Austin, Texas, Ryan Heller, Artistic Director. The premiere of the piece took place on December 1, 2018, at the Existential Solstice concert, part of REVEL's Radio Project concert series. The Existential Solstice concert, a collaboration between REVEL and Chorus Austin, featured music and poetry meant to elicit vivid imagery of winter scenes. As a lifelong Texan, this required a stretching of my creativity, as you well might imagine. The A section of the first movement, The Snow, was written in Phyrigian mode to evoke the melancholy mood that may accompany a long winter, with descending patterns in the viola and the right hand of the piano painting a gentle snowfall. The B section contrasts with a faster tempo, suggesting an intensification of the snowfall, before returning to the melancholic A section. The second movement, Frost and Wind, paints a snowstorm with its faster tempo, swirling winds in the right hand of the piano and in the choir, and bitter frost evinced in all voices. Finally, in the third movement, Snow, a shift to the major mode and tranquil melodic lines suggests a return to a gentle snowfall following the storm, with contemplative motives in all voices, until a lone robin's voice and sunlight bring us hope of spring's return.

Gardner Music (A0.799653). An intense hell-fire blazes throughout Day of Wrath. Though it begins quietly and mysteriously with the haunting Dies Irae chant, the audience is swept into a picture of hell painted by light and sound as the piano viciously churns-out its relentless melody against the turmoil of the choir... Driving to the ultimate end: Understanding whom we are to fear.But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him. Luke 12:5 (King James Version)Day of Wrath is a performance not soon forgotten. Choreographed lights and sound add to the illusion of hell-fire and brimstone, while cello harmonics sail above the choir with an eerie crystalline presence. An opener, a closer... A crowd-pleaser for sure. If you want to break-up the praise and worship a bit, Day of Wrath will certainly wake up the audience!PURCHASE INCLUDES FULL SCORE AND ALL PARTS - Priced as a choral score (so, please purchase one copy per performer...Thank you!)Instrumentation: Cello, Narrator, SATB, Piano, Timpani, Cymbals, Bass DrumPremiere: University of Nebraska at Omaha - University ChorusDifficulty: Intermediate/AdvancedText from KJV version of the Bible and Dies Irae (Tomaso de Celano)To learn more about the composer, please visit https://www.dmgardner.com

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.963826 Composed by Amy Morales. Christian,Concert,Sacred,Standards. Octavo. 10 pages. Amy J Morales #4407528. Published by Amy J Morales (A0.963826). Wonder is a sacred SATB piece that exemplifies the majesty of God's creation. Near the end of the piece, the text shows the amazement in having a personal relationship with the Almighty Creator.Great for a scared recital or church setting. Cover design by Christy Ash (christyashportfolio.weebly.com) Wonder - Lyrics by Amy MoralesI walked along a winding road in search of finding truth untold;And there Your greatness I behold. I am amazed and wonder to myself of Your story. I see the crystal clear, still river. The streams speak soft in tranquil whisper. Yet strong, ne'er ceases to astound me. I am amazed and wonder to myself of Your beauty.As the sun gives forth her light to shine, the Heavens sing of power divine. A song within the earth I find. I am amazed and wonder to myself of Your glory.The budding of the garden lily. The setting of the Morning Star.No mind can fathom who You are. I stand amazed and wonder to myself, You are mighty.Myself, I find so weak and needy, so small compared to this great beauty,then ponder why You'd reach way down to touch me. I stand amazed and wonder to myself why You'd love me.

Choral Choir,Choral,SATB Chorus divisi - Digital Download SKU: A0.1418462 Composed by Cassy Gress. 21st Century. 10 pages. Cassy Gress #1000029. Published by Cassy Gress (A0.1418462). On April 8, 2024, I had the privilege to be able to view a solar eclipse in totality. I'd previously seen one at around 99% totality, but 100% is a completely different experience. I periodically glanced at the sun in my protective glasses, watching the disc shrink down to nothing, not expecting much other than the absence of a sun. But I looked away for a moment, and my son suddenly cried, It's there!I turned and gasped: the sky was a flat twilight blue, and a crisp brilliant ring glowed in the sky, safe to view with the naked eye. The world was still, strangely silent, alien and new. We all tried to grab as many pictures as we could. After a few minutes, the moon continued its arc across the sky, and the sun's glare abruptly reappeared, already blinding even as a sliver. I can still see that ring in my mind's eye, fiercely burning, as if someone had literally cut a circle out of the sky and exposed another universe behind it.In this piece I tried to capture the growing ominous wonder of an eclipse approaching totality. While the 2024 eclipse was not visible in Russia, the Russian word for sun, Ñолнце (solntse), has a lily-like fragility to it that the English equivalent does not. Various parts of the choir repeat the word throughout the piece, and the repeated ts and s sounds should create a percussive susurrance. Stagger breathing should be used throughout.Also repeated is the Russian word for moon, луна (luna). As the eclipse approaches that crystalline moment of totality, the moon becomes more and more prominent and the text more chantlike. The refrain, first sung by a solo bass at bar 7, and sung in variation by the other parts thereafter, is repeated in its original form once by the sopranos near the top of their range. This represents the sun in final desperate ecstasy, before it too collapses into the inevitability and madness of occultation.After an indefinite sudden pause, the shock of the moment, the choir reverently sings suscipe deprecationem nostram. Glorificamus te. As the moon frees the sun from its cold grip, the menace of the previous section threatens to return, but just as quickly fades, revealing once again Ñолнце в небе (the sun in the sky).

SATB choir, Piano - Digital Download SKU: LX.15-3668H Composed by Mark Hayes. Secular Christmas. Octavo. 12 pages. Heritage Music Press #e15/3668H. Published by Heritage Music Press (LX.15-3668H). ISBN 9780787765859. Text: Wendy Mathis Parker.It’s a wonder of winter when ice crystals form, high in the sky on a cold winter's morn. Watch the magic of winter as snow crystals fall, drifting down from the clouds, a delight for us all. A lovely e-minor melody begins in unison voices, then eases into a rich G-major choral harmonic fabric. With a brief passage of independent vocal scoring and a few places with accessible divisi, this is truly a splendid musical winter portrait!
