1. Oh, the Beautiful Treasure; 2. We Will Walk with Mother and Mourn; 3. Hop Up and Jump Up. Explore the American heritage of Shaker hymnody with these three settings of lesser-known, very appealing Shaker spirituals. Each brief setting grows from its underlying melody to make an exceptionally unified arrangement. With a different technique as the focus for each arrangement, these minute-long pieces make fine vocalises for your choir. Oh the beautiful treasure, with its square rhythms, horn calls, and harmonic texture opening out and closing, is excellent for teaching chord tuning. We will walk with Mother and mourn, with its smooth, stepwise, rising and falling melody, is a fine exercise for legato singing. Hop up and jump up, with its crisp rhythms and phrase fragments tossed from part to part, calls for rhythmic clarity and clean entrances and cutoffs. SSAA a cappella; 13 pages, plus editorial notes; duration: 3:15 min.; range: g to f; difficulty: easy-medium; from the Nina Gilbert Choral Series. SSAA, a cappella Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

Matthew Whittall's (b. 1975) Love is Little (2009) is a modern motet taking a Shaker hymn tune as its cantus firmus. The original melody is gradually slowed down, looped and fragmented, forming a quiet, ambient soundscape in which each singer performs their own partly freely. It is suitable for larger choirs, but also performable by as few as 20 singers.

A fresh and delightful new take on an old Shaker Hymn. Arranger John Maclane Schirard has given us an a cappella arrangement that is extremely fun to sing and keeps the audience on the edge of their seat all the way until the rousing ending.
