Published by Rebecca J. Wood (A0.996562). Hear 30 second clip beginning at measure 1. Arrangement about 1 min 30 secs performance time.  I love this little child/mother song. If one keeps the title Angels, the surprise ending will be kept to the end. Lovely harmonies and emotions, with the climax at m 52 followed by the surprise ending.Milk this little song for all it's worth. My heart swells just for going through it in my head!! Feedback would be appreciated.   After thinking about ANGELS, I HAVE TO TELL YOU the most important line in the song. After the Daddy tells the child what angels are, he says, They call them angels in Heaven (beautiful spot in the son), but we call them MOTHERS down here. Such a tear-jerker, I think!!

Choral Choir,Choral (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.890640 Composed by Stella ter Hart. Concert,Folk,Jewish,Standards. 8 pages. Stella ter Hart #3455425. Published by Stella ter Hart (A0.890640). Inspired by the 1,116 orphaned Polish children who, as Holocaust survivors, were brought to Canada after World War II  and became known as The Redeemed Children. These tunes, and others like them, were the only possessions they had  and their only direct connection to the past.  I received a copy of a book of tunes (unarranged) while speaking at a conference; an elderly gentlemen came up to me, pressed them into my hands and asked me to help keep them alive. The work features two tunes, both on the theme of motherhood.  The first tune describes a young mother shushing everything around her so that her little son can sleep.  The second tune rejoices when the poor are raised up and a barren woman's house is filled with the laughter of children.To honour the integrity of the tunes, this work features idiomatic writing and harmonies and captures not only the rhythm but also the intended mood and sentiment.  Brief solo opportunities feature a soprano and alto in a traditional 'cantor' style section.  Shifting from sweet and gentle to driving and energetic, this is an excellent work to build musical expression, story telling and deep empathy.Suitable for all intermediate level treble choirs for any recital, concert or festival occasion.Duration:  4:05                                                                                                                                                                         Key Structure:  Eflat major and C minor                                                                                                                             Level:  intermediate                                                                                                                                                       Language: Yiddish and Hebrew (translations and pronunciation guide provided)composer contact:  www.stellaterhart.com

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.856134 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Liz Garnett. A Cappella,Christmas. Octavo. 2 pages. Liz Garnett #3023031. Published by Liz Garnett (A0.856134). This traditional carol tells of one of the darker parts of the Christmas story, the slaughter of the innocents, from the perspective of the mothers whose children are torn from their arms. The arrangement takes the haunting, plaintive melody, and turns the 'lully-lullay' of a lullaby into the tolling of a bell. The order to slay the children wrenches the music into a new key, and the final verse is bare, halting, desolate.Ranges:Tenor: G4-F5Lead: D#4-D5Bari: A flat 3 - A4Bass: F3 - F#4(N.B.

Published by Robert Hales (A0.1411444). This is an accompanied SSAA arrangement of the up-beat Act 1 finale Bright New Day from the 1983 musical Blood Brothers.This arrangement has a short intro based on the transition in the original musical and then contains all 6 versus of the original song. The melody alternates between the sopranos and altos and there is some call and response in the later versus. The highest note in the soprano 1 part is top Ab5 and lowest note in alto 2 part is F3.Blood Brothers tells the nature versus nurture story of twin brothers separated at birth in 1960's Liverpool and, with the brothers growing up at opposite ends of the social spectrum. Bright New Day is about one of the brothers and his mother moving from the condemned inner-city slums of Liverpool to a new council house in the nearby town of Skelmersdale during the early 1970's, before he meets his brother by chance again.

Choral Choir (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1194181 By Dave Froman. By Dave Froman. Chamber,Contemporary. Octavo. 19 pages. Dave Froman #793601. Published by Dave Froman (A0.1194181). 2022. SSAA, piano, flute and bassoon / 6 minI was taken in by the story in the poem “Tree-Burial� by William Cullen Bryant, a 19th century American romantic poet - about a Native American ritual of burying a child high among the trees rather than in the ground. This ritual and the words spoken seem a powerful balm in the face of grief and sadness. The text reflects the mother’s tenderness to the child - sorrowful but loving and beautiful. I found the poem in a collection of “Poems About Trees,� celebrating sacred groves, wild woodlands, and bountiful orchards, paying lyrical tribute to these majestic beings with whom we share the earth.Composed for women’s voices, the flute and bassoon add a doleful fullness to this piece. My composition borrows from the longer poem.Also available in SSA & piano, flute, oboe/clarinet and bassoon.Performed here by the Rocky Mountain Chamber Choir - Virtual Singers.If you would like to premiere this piece, please reach out to davefroman@gmail.com.
