Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.891215 Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Laurie Betts Hughes. Children,Contemporary,Country,Folk. Octavo. 34 pages. Dandelion Music Press #3256941. Published by Dandelion Music Press (A0.891215). Lights of the Western Sky is a compilation of 3 celestial American folk songs collected by Ruth Crawford Seeger, commissioned by Casper Children's Chorale to celebrate the 2017 total solar eclipse visible in Casper, Wyoming in honor of Mick McMurray. The pieces are connected not only by the folk style and the star subject, but also by tracing the course of a day, and by focusing on the connection of the outer world to the inner soul.I. Bright Morning Stars-- An additive processional on the ultimate theme of children singing. Though the traditional verses state that the fathers are down in the valley a-prayin''' and the mothers have gone to heaven a-shoutin' (or vice versa), the lyrics have been freely adapted in the folk tradition of floating verses (adapting lyrics to personal experience) to describe the children's experience. The opening percussion motif is intended to evoke Aaron Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man.II. Oh, Watch the Stars-- Oh, Watch the Stars and Great Big Stars, combined in unique ways. The two songs used, Oh, Watch the Stars and Great Big Stars, are distinct in their own right. They have been fused together in this movement, borrowing the text from one and using the tune from the other, and modifying one to partner with the other when presented simultaneously. A fusion of two styles, this movement opens solemnly and culminates in a hoedown showdown.Laurie Betts Hughes, ASCAP | www.LaurieBettsHughes.com

Arranged by Michael Thomas Coull. 20th Century,Christmas,Comedy,Holiday,Pop. 14 pages. MTC Publishing #860671. Published by MTC Publishing (A0.1268112). Snoopy's Christmas - Choral Arrangement for SSA and Piano by Michael Thomas CoullA follow-up to The Royal Guardsmen's earlier hit Snoopy vs. the Red Baron, the 1967 hit Snoopy's Christmas is a fictional account of how Snoopy was directed to go out and fight the Red Baron on a bitterly cold Christmas Eve.  The Baron has Snoopy at his mercy after a long dogfight, but instead of shooting him down he forces Snoopy to land and offers Snoopy a chivalrous holiday toast.  Afterward, Snoopy and the Red Baron fly their separate ways, 'each knowing they'd meet on some other day'.The song begins with a chorus singing O Tannenbaum.  The middle of the song is bridged by chimes ringing out a phrase from Hark the Herald Angels Sing.  And the song also references the 1914 Christmas Truce of World War I which was initiated not by German and British commanders, but by the soldiers themselves in the trenches.This arrangement of Snoopy's Christmas for SSA and piano accompaniment is a great song to sing at any choirs end of year holiday concert.  A classic Christmas song that is always a crowd favourite!

Choral Choir (SAB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.862746 By Simon And Garfunkel. By Paul Simon. Arranged by Iain Jackson. Pop,Rock. Octavo. 8 pages. Iain Jackson #4582317. Published by Iain Jackson (A0.862746). This arrangement is designed to be fun and accessible for community and school choirs. The key is different from the original song to bring it within a comfortable range for amateur singers. I have kept as close as possible to Simon & Garfunkel's rhythms and harmonic style, but divided up the melody so Sopranos and Altos sing the first verse and chorus and then the men lead in the second verse. All then sing to the end in harmony and there are some entertaining flourishes along the way. There are two bars with an optional divide for the men but sticking within the ranges specified below.

Published by Chorister's Guild - Digital (C7.CGE347). Written to commemorate the recent flooding in Louisiana, this strong and emotional work captures the spirit of hope that evolves when a community comes together in the face of a tragedy. Swirling winds and a raging storm yield to a chorus filled with hope: I must try to believe that the sun is shining, even amid the darkest storm ...to believe that the sun is always there, even when I cannot see. Conservative ranges, vivid text painting, and singable lines are all set atop a supportive piano part to allow this piece to make a powerful and positive statement.

Choirs, audiences and directors can all relate to the fact that there are times in life when blackening clouds seem to surround us. But the soaring melodic refrain reminds us that the magic way to turn the gloom to day is to sing and sing and sing. The accompaniment swells with wave-like motion under vocal lines that capture the joyful flight of hearts that take wing when we sing.
