High voice and piano - Medium - Digital Download SKU: MQ.8673-E Composed by Steven Mark Kohn. 15 pages. E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital #8673-E. Published by E. C. Schirmer Music Company - Digital (MQ.8673-E). English.This text has been adapted from Mark Twain's The War Prayer, which he wrote in 1904-5 to protest America’s involvement in the Spanish-American War. His family convinced him to keep if from publication, fearing it was too controversial. Published after his death, Twain makes the case that if God causes all things to happen and blesses select people, then He must also, willingly, deny others his blessing. It is the other side of prayer, the unspoken side, which Twain so brilliantly characterized in The War Prayer. Duration 8:00.

High Voice,Vocal Solo - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1027761 Composed by Alicia Willard. 20th Century,Blues,Contemporary. 34 pages. Alicia Santee-Davis #2923157. Published by Alicia Santee-Davis (A0.1027761). Periwinkle is a song cycle that was originally composed for mezzo-soprano and piano, but has been arranged for soprano and piano; it is a collection of character pieces using original poetry by Alicia Willard. High High Shoes is an upbeat, rhythmically active piece that illustrates the exhilaration and anxiety in reaching for one’s desires. Wings is a hauntingly slow array of uneasy dissonances, using only one line of text that is chopped into fragments and slowly arranged into a comprehensible statement. Boulders on Our Shoulders has a lilting jazz feel, including several piano solos that incorporate many aspects of the blues. Follow the Borrowers is much more introspective, with the music vividly conveying what the text colorfully provides in such lines as I’ll caress the tongue shapes. The title of the cycle is taken from a line of poetry in which the periwinkle dirt in the sky is introduced, providing one of many colors that are portrayed in the pieces. Periwinkle was written in 2009 and premiered at the University of North Carolina School of the Arts by Stephanie McAllister, mezzo-soprano, and the composer at the piano. After its recomposition, the soprano edition was premiered in Fairbanks, Alaska in 2016 by Amy Ingram, soprano, with the composer at the piano.

Published by Judy Lane Music (A0.915900). Judy Lane's own words are used in this comforting and powerful song with a message. The song is for a solo performance at a praise and worship church service.The song of the Angel came clear in the night. Pray cease your worry and calm your fright. Our Lord left his footprints as clear as the day. Just follow them, follow them all of the way, But Lord though I try hard, I stray from your path. I slip when it's frosty and trip over stones. The wind blows me sideways, the fog clouds my eyes. Oh Lord I am lost, Lord I am lost, Lord I am lost. When I woke the next morning the world seemed more clear. Gone were my worries, more calm my fear. Those footprints were shining the way seemed more clear And the song of the Angel will forever with me stay.

Gorton (A0.999888). Thirst is a powerful outcry against one's inner demons, a rebuttal to the negative thoughts that we all have experienced at times, and a prayer for peace. Broad and dramatic, with a virtuosic and powerful piano accompaniment, this song will provide great dramatic contrast and substance to any vocal program. More appropriate for the advanced singer, this piece would work well as part of a set (see other Gorton compositions for ideas). Your pianist will love this piece!
