This whimsical piece by Philippine composer/performer Ryan Cayabyab praises the coconut palm tree and its many uses while continually reminding us that the coconut is NOT a nut! This arrangement by Jay Dougherty will steal the hearts of your audience and make them want to dance along. It is written for 4 part treble voices (or quartet) and solo (five total voice parts). While most arrangements of this song are in 8 or more parts, this version has been parsed down to make it more accessible to groups needing fewer parts.

NOTE: There is a 10-copy minimum purchase. However, the per-copy price is set to the lowest possible setting at $1.99. If you want this song with one one a part (quartet plus solo), please understand that with the 10-copy minimum (10 x $1.99), you're still paying only $20 for legal access to this music. The arranger gets nearly nothing, and you're getting great legal music for $4 per quartet member.

Latin.

O strength of Wisdom,which circles the spherescomprehending everythingin the one way which holds life,having three wings, of which one rushes to the heights and another drips with sweat from the earth, and the third flies from all sides. Praise be to you as it is fitting to you, O Wisdom.

English.

Stephen Chatman’s setting of Sara Teasdale’s whimsical poem pertaining to a brown-thrush, April, love and kisses, emulates the meaning, strict rhythm, rhyme and strophic structure of the text. The soft rolled chords of the harp-like piano accompaniment highlight the lilting 6/8-meter, folk-like melody, and consistent homophonic choral texture. The repetitive lines, “Love me, love me, love me!�, and “kiss me, kiss me, kiss me!�, inspire the musical refrains. One of a set of six of Teasdale's love songs. Duration: 1:45.

One for the upper voices, this traditional spiritual has been given a bit of a makeover with snatches of other Christmas carols.  Despite being SSAA (and SSSSAAAA in the last bar!) this is well within the range and difficulty level of a reasonably competent choir.  Just make sure the tune(s) are prominent and don't rush the last bar.  (Could be transposed down for the men.)  Ideal for a Christmas concert or Lessons & Carols.
