Published by Timothy Piper (A0.1015164). Glorificamus Deum is a setting of Psalm 23. This setting works well in both a church service and a concert setting.It takes the very traditional words of the psalm, and spins them with a fresh new approach. The music takes you on a journey from a quiet beginning, into a jazzy-pop expression of wonder as the words joyfully proclaim that goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life.... An added refrain of Glorificamus Deum adds an accent of exuberance throughout the piece. This piece of music is not difficult and is accessible to most choirs. Mostly sung in unison, it goes into two parts briefly, but the two parts are canonic and thus, easy to master. The piece is musically interesting for the conductor of a youth ensemble. The range is just over an octave and has young people singing in their head voices. There are opportunities for controlled expressive singing, and also opportunities for more exuberant let-it-out singing. The piece goes back and forth between the major and minor modes. It has one particularly challenging interval with a descending major 7th. As well, there is a large dynamic range and some excellent opportunities for rubato and watching the conductor carefully in the softer, more expressive sections. This piece is fun, melodic, and will be a favorite with every chorister, the instant it is learned.

Choral Choir (SA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1015165 Composed by Timothy Piper. Contemporary,Standards. Octavo. 4 pages. Timothy Piper #4755031. Published by Timothy Piper (A0.1015165). Tavern is a SS or SA choral piece. It is a setting of Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poem Tavern. This setting provides a lovely hopeful melody which will wrap your audience in the poetry. The range is excellent for youth choirs, drawing them up into their head voices. Advanced choirs can enjoy working towards a nuanced and perfect performance of this work while it is still accessible for younger choirs who will love the simplicity and catchiness of the main melody. This piece can be performed alone or with its two companion pieces, Travel and Afternoon on a Hill.
