A Summer Vacation
Alone
Dear March, come in!
Dirge in Woods
Going to Heaven!
Heart, we will forget him
I felt a funeral in my brain
I\'ve heard an organ talk sometimes
Laurie\'s Song from The Tender Land
Martin\'s Song from The Tender Land
My Heart Is in the East
Nature, the gentlest mother
Night
Old Poem
Pastorale
Poet\'s Song
Queenie\'s Song from The Second Hurricane
Sleep is supposed to be
The Chariot
The sun is coming up from The Tender Land
The world feels dusty
There came a wind like a bugle
Vocalise
When they come back
Why do they shut me out of Heaven?

Lili Boulanger was the sister of the famous music teacher Nadia Boulanger. She was a composer for the last 10 years of her tragically short life - she died at 25. Her music is generally beautiful delicately coloured and touching standing in the main line of French music exemplified by Faure albeit somewhat tinged with the influence of Debussy's Impressionism.These four Songs are settings of texts by de Calone and Maeterlinck among others with an English version by Jane May. The first song Dans l'immense tristesse speaks of a mother's grief on the death of a child. Attente (Expectation) is about the anticipation of love Reflets isgentle and reflective yet tinged with fear which breaks out towards the end whereas Le Retour (The Return) deals with the return of Ulysses to Ithaca.

This exciting and accessible collection for upper voices (scored for SA choir and Piano) features five brand new songs by celebrated choral composer Bob Chilcott. Drawing on five very different texts Chilcott guides the voices through a number of styles and moods; the songs include the rousing 'All for Love of One' gentle 'The Truth is Great' and thought-provoking 'All things pass'. The central song 'Circles of Motion' is a fervent and positive setting of Joy Harjo's well-known 'Eagle Poem' and the collection is completed by the funky 'Red Boots On' which uses jazzy rhythms and harmonies to bring Kit Wright's text alive. This is Chilcott at his very best - a welcomeaddition to the repertoire of any upper-voice choir.

Selected for the Jo-Michael Scheibe series this may be the most powerful song of encouragement for men's choir on the planet. The William Ernest Henley poem sets the stage but it is the dynamic musical writing for both voice and piano that rock the house. Opening with a gentle chant establishes the theme but the surprise hits as the keyboard assumes control. Superb choice for a dedication graduation or concert program. Medium in difficulty.

'Where The Gentle Avon Flows' arranged for mixed voice choir SATB with piano accompaniment.

Young men's choirs will love learning and performing this Stephen Foster gem. The interesting melody that moves from one voice to the other serves for great vocal teaching and production. The text though romantic lends itself to interpretation by the singer leading to moving musical moments. Your guys will sound great with this choral!
