What Child Is This? is a Christmas carol whose lyrics were written by William Chatterton Dix, in 1865. At the time of composing the carol, Dix worked as an insurance company manager and had been struck by a severe illness. While recovering, he underwent a spiritual renewal that led him to write several hymns, including lyrics to this carol that was subsequently set to the tune of Greensleeves, a traditional English folk song.

By Stevie Wonder. By Stevie Wonder. Arranged by Steve Burks. Pop,Soul. Score. 7 pages. Steven L. Burks #6249377. Published by Steven L. Burks (A0.902510).

This inspirational R&B piece is appropriate for tenors who are comfortable with periodic chest voice above F4, or who are able to mix registers effectively when producing the pitches F#4 and G#4. Its melodic range is from E3 to G#4. You Will Know is a good programming choice when themes of inspiration, encouragement, and spirituality are fitting. Its duration is approximately 3:20, a slight abbreviation of the original recording as ad libs have been omitted.

The lyrical content is appropriate for non-adult singers; though post-pubescent singers are more likely to have success performing it due to periodic work above the break. Pedagogically, this piece affords singers an opportunity to work on breath support (due to its periodic long tones), vibrato, and grace notes (which by African American performance practice, occur frequently enough that notating them would have been impractical). In general, ornamentation is a central feature of African American singing, and the best way to absorb this style is to listen to great examples.

Composed by Melanie B. Guerin. Broadway,Musical/Show,Pop. Octavo. 4 pages. Melanie B Guerin #3585793. Published by Melanie B Guerin (A0.854322).

This short song was written as the finale to the musical production 'Clamor & Ranting,' produced at the Greater Hartford Academy of the Arts in December 2015. It is a celebration of what music means and what music can do. A simple chord progression repeats under the increasingly joyful sounds of a choir, building to three-part harmony with optional solo ad libs.

I sing, I breathe, 

I remember, I grieve, 

I move, I play, 

I celebrate, I pray, 

I speak, I stir, 

I am powerful, I am heard, 

I learn, I feel, 

I am comforted, 

I am new, I am revealed 

I shine, I'm proud, 

I'm a symphony out loud, 

I sing, I'm strong, 

I am music, I am song
