	At the cry of the first bird for SATB voices unaccompanied EMH-015	SATB	2'50"	English	McGrath, Ethan	Info/Listen/Buy »
As is often the case with my work, this music seemed to naturally grow out of the text—a haunting medieval poem about the death of Jesus Christ. The poem’s enigmatic symbolism and otherworldly affect resulted in what was for me an unusually mysterious and ethereal composition. Some of the inspiration for the work came from […]
	Hymn to the Virgin (SATB) for SATB choir a cappella CHR-1101a	SATB	3' 12"	English ⋅ Latin	Fawcett, David	Info/Listen/Buy »
The words of this carol/motet are well-known from Britten’s teenage tour-de-force, but that double-chorus setting is out of the reach of most church choirs. The powerful text, alternating English and Latin in the style of medieval carols, warrants an additional, simpler setting. The work is suitable for concert performance, as well as for liturgical use […]

	Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger for SATB choir, piano, and optional trumpet JDM-004	SATB	4'	English	Durham, Jennifer	Info/Listen/Buy »
This beloved folk tune has been arranged with optional, muted trumpet (the timbre adds to the mood of the piece). The piano accompaniment expands the 4-part harmony of the choir to suggest more contemporary harmony with a few jazz chords. It’s not overdone, however; “Poor Wayfarin’ Stranger” is still a traditional, compelling portrait of a […]

	The King of Blis 10 Nativity Rounds for partnered voices BKR-001	Equal Voices ⋅ SSAA	Each round 1′30″ to 2′ (in performance)	English ⋅ Latin	Kogler, Brian	Info/Listen/Buy »
All vocal groups need short, portable items in their repertoire. A round is a melody which can unfold into harmony, the prime tool of choral directors who wish to develop in singers an ability to listen to others while holding an independent line. Rounds build cohesion among singers and provide opportunities for improving ensemble, sight-reading, […]
