A very lively arrangement which in some ways imitates a brass band, particularly in the accompanying parts. It's a silly song, lyrically and should be performed with lots of gusto and acting. .

A bilingual (first verse in Spanish and second verse in English) inspiring piece dedicated to all those who make an impact in our lives. Gracias was written as a tribute to teachers, family members and friends who have supported me throughout the years and I know all of us have people in our lives like that. Arranged for SSAATTBB, Gracias is meant for advanced High School choirs and beyond. Here is the text: Gracias por compartir tu fe, por darme la esperanza de un mundo mejor. Gracias por darme de tu luz, por enseñarme a imaginar, a crecer y a volar. Gracias por compartir tu corazón y sobre todo gracias por tu inspiración. Thank you for being by my side, for lending me a shoulder and teaching me to fly. Thank you for understanding me, for knowing how to cheer me up and how to make me smile. Thank you for sharing your own soul with me and most of all for all the things you’ve done for me. Y sobre todo gracias por tu inspiración. --- Feel free to contact me with questions. www.leandrobizama.com Note: it will look better when printed in octavo size.

Composed by Angela Salvaggione. Score. 11 pages. Imagine Music - Digital #VMW171. Published by Imagine Music - Digital (IZ.VMW171).

8.5 x 11 in inches.

Musically, the text gives indication as to the style of each verse. The first verse's gentle, flowing feel is the comfort of knowing we've been walking a path together. The second verse, a bit stronger, with the full choir entering, builds this comfort and joy of common experience. The third verse, with its darker text, should also have a more misterioso feel, but don't let it drag. Our parting is approaching. The fourth verse should have a lighter, more sparkling feel, with streams and snowflakes and growing understanding that though what may seem final is not, merely a new way of being. The resoluteness of the fifth verse reflects the strength of knowing that the path we have shared together regardless of our proximity, and gives us strength and joy in knowing that our lives are bettered by our shared experiences. The coda, beginning in measure 95, brings us back to a more settled feel, as we are comforted by the memory of those shared experiences. By the final bars, we arrive at a restful state, comfortable knowing that though time has passed and circumstances have changed, we have been blessed by what we've experienced together.

If you've always wanted to try this one, but the vocal runs scared you off, this is the arrangement you've waited for. The vocals and the piano have been simplified, but it is still challenging and doesn't lose any of the familiar sounds your audience wants. Perfect for church choirs, older voices, or less experienced singers. A classical standard every choir should experience.

Composed by French Carol - unknown. Arranged by Connie Boss. Celtic,Christmas,Irish,Multicultural,Sacred,World. Score. 11 pages. Connie Boss #6403321. Published by Connie Boss (A0.801673).

This lovely French carol is about two women that found out that Jesus was born and that he was very special. They went around the town to let everyone know. They made food for Mary and Joseph. They warned others to be very quiet as to not awaken Jesus if he was sleeping. This is in SATB parts with piano accompaniment. It has a unique intro and the last verse has SATB taking turns. cdboss@cvalley.net

Bring a Torch Jeanette, Isabella

French Carol

Arranged by Connie Boss

 

Bring a torch

Bring a torch

Bring a torch

Bring a torch Jeanette, Isabella.

 

Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!

Bring a torch, to the stable call

Christ is born, tell the folk of the village

Jesus is born and Mary's calling.

Ah![a] Ah! Beautiful is the Mother!

Ah! Ah! Beautiful is her Child

 

Who is knocking on the door?

Who is it, knocking like that?

Open up, we've arranged on a platter

Lovely cakes that we have brought here

Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!

Knock! Knock! Let us celebrate!

 

It is wrong when the Child is sleeping,

It is wrong to speak so loud.

Silence, now as you gather around Him

Lest your noise should waken Jesus.

Hush! Hush! See how He slumbers;

Hush! Hush! See how He's fast asleep!

 

Softly now unto the stable,

Softly for a moment come!

Look and see how charming is Jesus,

Look at Him there,] His cheeks are rosy!

Hush! Hush! See how the Child is sleeping;

Hush! Hush! See how He smiles in His dreams

Lucious harmonies make this familiar, 15th century Christmas carol fresh again. The piece begins with percussive 'dings' and 'dongs' as they mimic the ringing of church bells. The remainder of the piece splits into four part women's harmony with flowing, moving lines in each vocal part. Excellent selection for church, school or professional ensembles. May be sung in English or French.

English Text
Bring a torch, Jeanette, Isabella!
Bring a torch, to Bethlehem come!
Christ is born. Tell the folk of the village
Mary has laid him in a manger.
Ah! Ah! beautiful  is the Mother!
Ah! Ah! beautiful is her child!


Who is that, knocking on the door?
Who is it, knocking like that?
Open up, we've arranged on a platter
Lovely cakes that we have brought here
Knock! Knock! Knock! Open the door for us!
Knock! Knock! Knock! Let's celebrate!

It is wrong when the Baby is sleeping,
It is wrong to speak so loud.
Silence, now as you gather around,
Lest your noise should waken Jesus.
Hush! Hush! see how the Baby slumbers;
Hush! Hush! see how the Baby sleeps!


Softly now unto the stable,
Softly for a moment come!
Look and see how charming is Jesus,
Look at him there, His cheeks are rosy!
Hush! Hush! see how the Child is sleeping;
Hush! Hush! see how he smiles in dreams!

This is a joyous anthem for Resurrection Sunday, or Easter as most like to call it. :)  It is for SSATB choir with piano accompaniment.  The words are by Fortunatus, translated by John Elling.  I've created a new melody for the old hymn that should be pleasant to sing for a savvy choir.  It is suitable for adult and high-school age choirs.

We think this is the finest arrangement we've heard of the patriotic work that many believe should be our national anthem. Mark Hayes' arrangement uses fresh, new harmonies and is thoroughly inspirational. Optional narration includes writings by Jefferson, Lincoln, and Martin Luther King. Vocals are not difficult for a piece of this order. Consider for use at festivals. InstruPax includes: director's score, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, 2 French horns [opt. baritone], percussion.

AM00118. This arrangement is a choral reduction to a standard SATB choir. Also, the organ accompaniment will likely be easier to read and play for most organists than a condensed score. Even if you are doing the full choral arrangement, you may want to use this organ accompaniment arrangement.  The organ accompaniment was further simplified in October 2023.  If you purchased before this date, request a new download from the publisher.  There should be no cost since you've already bought it.

This beautiful song should be sung with a wide range of dynamics for full effect. It's reminiscent of classic Celtic folk songs like Londonderry Air (O Danny Boy), and I've tried to echo some of that sort of harmony in the arrangement. Backing track is available to buy from me if you get in touch. YouTube performance of my choir singing it will be uploaded sometime in the next few months.

2018 Holiday Contest Entry

SSAATTB

This arrangement should be performable by a high school choir, but can also be appreciated by a more advanced choir.

Willie Nelson's iconic song, made famous by Roy Orbison, was written about a disabled street vendor that would sell gift wrap, ribbons, and pencils during the holiday season. It was later embellished and published as a short story. It's a beautiful, yet somber song, that reminds us that not everyone is jolly during the Christmas season. This is a good piece for the middle of a concert to provide a contrast to the typical Christmas genre or to bring awareness and support to those that struggle during the season.

Pretty Paper is typically a simple country song with swinging 8ths, but I've arranged it with full harmonies and straight 8ths for a completely different feel. You could still perform it with swinging 8ths if you'd like more of the original character of the piece. I originally thought it would be an a Capella arrangement and arranged all of the voice parts first, but felt it needed a bit more rhythmic pull and added the piano. It could still be performed a Capella for a more simple, thoughtful performance.

A beautiful, heart-felt, sacred hymn with music by Kevin G. Pace and text by Mary Ann W. Snowball.

Text:
Who am I that when I fall, Thou offers only grace,
That when I see my weaknesses, pure love shines from thy face?
Who art Thou who cried for me in ever-wors’ning pain,
That when I’m trapped in senseless sin, still suffered for my gain?

Only my Savior can love me that much; only He died for my soul.
Only my Savior has scars to atone; only He makes me feel whole.

Who am I that Thou redeems my prideful, unkempt soul?
That when I stray from righteousness, forgiveness is thy goal?
Who art Thou who bled for me with drops like falling rain,
That when I’m slow to show my love, still wipes away each stain?

Only my Savior can love me that much; only He died for my soul.
Only my Savior has scars to atone; only He makes me feel whole.

Who am I that Thou should save, redeeming ev’ry flaw?
That when I suffer selfishness, Thou shows me greater laws?
Who art Thou who gave His life so I might live with Thee,
That when I’ve given up all hope, still wants to be with me?

Only my Savior can love me that much; only He died for my soul.
Only my Savior has scars to atone; only He makes me feel whole.

By Queen. By Freddie Mercury. Arranged by Richard Swan. Contemporary,Film/TV,Pop,Rock. Octavo. 38 pages. Richard Swan #729002. Published by Richard Swan (A0.1128381).

This is a fairly challenging sing, with some gloriously high notes (top Gs) for the soprano 1s. It needs some strong soprano 2s as well, and some tenors will probably need to use head voice at times. I've stuck as closely as I could to the original harmonies while splitting the solo parts between the choir parts. I hope you enjoy it. I'll have a YouTube link up at some point. There are some slightly dodgy-sounding rehearsal tracks which you can buy from me if you get in touch through my choir (London City Voices), and I soon should have a backing track you can purchase too, although a karaoke one will work if it's the same structure as the original song.

This R&B classic works so well you just might be amazed. It is voiced for solo-SATB. (If you have an alto ((or soprano)) with a deep rich tone, you've found your lead vocalist).

This arrangement combines the best of Carole King's words with the soul of Aretha. Since this is more of an R&B groove you won't hear the dissonance and syncopation used for many of the jazz choral tunes you'll find here, but it is not short on feeling (especially with a soulful lead). It is an easy piece to perform and should be well received (especially by the Baby Boomers). Just don't move it too fast.
