Published by Bilsco Music (A0.1475304). SCORES INCLUDED:Full Score & Parts Scores: Solo+Sopranos, Mezzos+Altos, CajonPERFORMANCE NOTES FROM THE COMPOSER:I AM is a singing meditation. It is both a piece that honors the individual and the whole. It is meant to affirm an individual's worth, as well as the whole collective. When a choir prepares for a performance, they rehearse a piece dozens if not hundreds of times. I wanted the experience of rehearsing I AM to be an ongoing declaration of the singer’s value. Therefore, every phrase in this piece is an affirmation. When a singer finds themselves singing the piece outside of rehearsal, they will be singing words that are positive and affirming. I cannot express how much joy that brings me as a composer.Musically, I AM is both complex, with its 7-part vocal split, contrasting rhythms, and varying accents, yet simple in its repetition, lyrics, and tonality. Each of the 7 parts sings a unique affirmation throughout the piece. They are simple statements like, I am enough and I am love, but can hold so much complexity depending on an individual's relationship with the statement. In the middle of the piece, there is an aleatoric section where each singer contributes their unique affirming statement. It creates a chaotic building of sound before coming together for the first and only time in the piece to sing I AM as a whole choir in block chords.  It is one of my favorite moments in the piece because simple and complex are just a beat apart.I AM was commissioned by the Grand Rapids Women's Chorus and premiered on May 10, 2024.  If you would like to hear more about the creation of the piece, you can hear the composer's original explantions on Youtube.

Choral Choir,Choral,SSAA Chorus - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1447110 Composed by Harmonised by J S Bach (1685 - 1750). Arranged by Andrew Emmet. A Cappella,Christian,Christmas,Religious,Sacred. 4 pages. Andrew J Emmet #1026889. Published by Andrew J Emmet (A0.1447110). SSAA A Cappella arrangement.When I came to make an SSA arrangement of this, It was obvious to me that the bass part was such an important part of the arrangement, that it had to somehow stay there. It just didn't fit for an Alto 2, so I put it in as Sop 2, putting it up an octave, with a couple of minor adjustments. It sounds a bit like a descant, but it's always needed for the harmomies. I think it works well!

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1094448 By Lana Del Rey. By Elizabeth Grant and Rick Nowels. Arranged by Z Wagner. A Cappella,Contemporary,Pop,Rock,Wedding. Octavo. 17 pages. Z Wagner #698500. Published by Z Wagner (A0.1094448). SSAA or SSAT Arrangement (originally arranged for The Gathering Acappella, Emory University's women+ acappella group). Arrangement may be adjusted for co-ed groups. Arrangement gets more layered as it goes on, with options for duets/trios and improvisation for the soloist, and fun lines for everyone (no more boring alto lines!). Well suited for mid-sized groups and chamber choirs to larger groups. Tempo is slower than performance tempo for the sake of learning/MIDIs (you might choose 130 or even 140 for performance). Best if you have A2s with range, but that lowest note may be cut for those who can't reach it. Great memories attached to this piece, I hope your choir enjoys it too! - Z.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Digital Download SKU: A0.1007507 Composed by R. LaBanca. Contemporary. Octavo. 7 pages. R. LaBanca #3416041. Published by R. LaBanca (A0.1007507). This piece is based on text that I wrote several years ago. As a lover of the horror genre I have always had a fascination with the romantic creature known in modern culture as the vampire. I imagined in my mind the interaction between a mortal and an immortal creature. How would the mortal describe a romantic encounter with this creature that exists in the shadows, untouched by time? I used descriptive text to communicate the visceral details of this experience and make the listener create in their mind how the experience would have felt if they had experienced it. The encounter is intense, and painful but once it ends the narrator feels empty and only has a mysterious melody to keep as a memory. I set the text for treble voices because I felt that the close harmonies I could accomplish with voices in the same register would lend itself well to the imagery. The piece is lush and smooth when the text demands it and sharp and angular when the text calls for that sound. Once the interaction is over, the voices break off into an aleatoric section in which each voice sings the phrase Songs only bones can hear fading away into nothingness just as the text suggests the vampire moves into the velvet void.

Liz Garnett #3918669. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856183). Until I arranged this song, I had never noticed how gloomy the lyrics are. But the music is just so unremittingly cheerful that one can only assume the dysfunctional relationship it celebrates included some great sex. The song's title and hook line also provides a wonderfully singable vocable for the accompanying parts.N.B.

This song was made famous for people of my generation by Madness, but those just a little older may remember the original version as sung by Labbi Siffre himself.This arrangement draws on the Madness version in the rhythmic feel of its riffs, but honours the song-writer's request to use all the correct lyrics (and I've highlighted the place where Madness don't so you can make sure to get it right too).N.B.

Barbershop Quartet. 6 pages. Liz Garnett #1068100. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.1491362). This ballad from The Prolcaimers 11th studio album, Angry Cyclist is a poignant celebration of their home city. Its melody and lyrics both carry the wistfulness of responding to a place that is deeply loved, whilst fully aware of its flaws. The arrangement respects the simplicity of expression of the original, with a largely homophonic and mostly diatonic setting, with just a few moments of chromaticism or diatonic dissonance to point up the sense of nostalgia, and vocal lines that you can pour your heart into.Vocal Ranges:Tenor: E4 - E5Lead: C#3 - D5Bari: B3 - B4Bass: E3 - A4N.B.
