Choral Choir (SA) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.956380 Composed by Glenda E. Franklin. Contemporary. Octavo. 8 pages. Glenda E. Franklin Publications #6268953. Published by Glenda E. Franklin Publications (A0.956380). If you're looking for a lyrical piece with limited Latin text, this piece is for you. Not only do the sopranos get their usual melody, the alto part feels more like a second melody than a harmony part. The ABA form naturally breaks the piece into manageable study sections within a class period. The flute is the icing on the cake! 

Chorus - Digital Download SKU: AX.00-PO-0002883 Where Can We Find Peace? - 2-Part (with Opt. Sign Language). Composed by Jay Althouse and Sally K. Albrecht. Secular Choral. 11 pages. Alfred Music - Digital Sheet Music #00-PO-0002883. Published by Alfred Music - Digital Sheet Music (AX.00-PO-0002883). UPC: 038081187341.The beautiful melody could certainly stand alone, but when the optional flute or recorder enters, playing Amazing Grace in counterpoint to the melody, well, it's the icing on the cake. And the text is profound in its grace: we find peace and joy in the smile of a stranger, in the face of a girl and boy. Simple and touching, this choral work will allow your choir to make music, not just sing the notes. Add the sign language (included in the publication) and the SoundTrax CD for a truly moving performance. Included on Put On a Show! DVD #27433.Recorded Acc. Available; Sign Language.

About two and a half minutes long, the energetic piano part makes this song delightful.This arrangement is written to include a class songwriting project - in the section from measure 52 to 72, take student suggestions for pairs of items they are grateful for (e.g. friends and family, cake and ice cream, etc.). You can also write an entire new verse as a class for m. 72 to 88, again filling in things you grateful for, following the format of the first verse ('Tis a gift to ____, 'tis a gift _____), or just use the first verse lyrics again in this section. My own students were grateful for Chic Fil A sandwiches in this section.Please contact me at mattarnettmusic.com if you would like additional suggestions for the songwriting activity.
