Sylvia Miles #713687. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1111404). This charming Christmas poem by UA Fanthorpe tells of the stable cat's feelings at having been left out of the Gospel story. Light-hearted but spiritual. In this SATB setting, I'd encourage all singers (especially A, T and B) to think feline!

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1229657 By Sylvia Miles. By Traditional Welsh. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Celtic,Folk,Irish,Wedding. Octavo. 3 pages. Sylvia Miles #825418. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1229657). Ar Lan y Môr is a popular tradtional Welsh folk song, and as with many folk songs, there are various versions. My personal preference is for this version; it paints a seashore picture that I can imagine, and I'm completely convinced by the romantic element!Musically speaking, I love the alternating 3 and 4 beat bars; they make me think of waves coming irregularly to the shore.Pronunciation notes: slight roll on all 'r' sounds; rye - 'ye' as in bye-bye; 'ch' as in loch, back of throat; 'll' is said H L - run them together 'hl'. Everything else is written phonetically.Translation: 1. Beside the sea grow red roses, and white lilies, and there lives my true love, sleeping all night and rising in the morning. 2. Down where the sea laps at the flat rock, we walked together, and spoke words of love; lilies grow there, and branches of rosemary.3. By the sea are blue pebbles, golden flowers, everything that's beautiful - and also my dearest sweetheart.

Choral Choir (SSA) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1199481 Composed by Noel Stookey. Arranged by Sylvia Chapa. Celtic,Christian,Folk,Holiday,Irish,Wedding. Octavo. 4 pages. Sylvia Chapa #798550. Published by Sylvia Chapa (A0.1199481). Irish Blessing (May the Road Rise to Meet You) SSA Choir Arrangement with Piano or Harp Accompaniment (Piano Accompaniment mp3, solo piano, available separately on ArrangeMe.com) A beautiful 3 part treble arrangement with an elegant accompaniment for piano or harp is suitable for any Irish occasion, including St. Patrick's Day, but also appropriate all year round at weddings, funerals, graduations, anniversaries, farewells, good wishes, or family gatherings, and useful for any blessing on the path of life at any time.  Performance time is only 1:23, so it serves well as an encore to bid farewell to an audience.  Should you wish to extend the length of the performance, the soprano line may be sung as a solo or played by a violin with the accompaniment before the choir sings the entire piece.  The accompaniment stands on its own as a piano or harp solo.  Listen to the piano accompaniment/solo sample on this webpage.  If the 3 part harmonies and the rich accompaniment are too challenging this year, consider the 2-part a cappella arrangement by Sylvia Chapa on ArrangeMe.com #798514.  It's easy to learn with the rehearsal learning track #798519.  Be aware this 2 part arrangement with simple harmonies is not compatible with the rich accompaniment of the SSA 3-part choir arrangement on this page, and cannot be sung with it.  The 2 part arrangement is a cappella, and very easy to learn, very intuitive.

Choral Choir (SAB) - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1112802 By Traditional Poitou, France. By Sylvia Miles. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Christmas,Early Music,Folk,Multicultural,Praise & Worship,World. Octavo. 9 pages. Sylvia Miles #714767. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1112802). This ancient carol comes originally from the Poitou region of France, and it's not difficult to imagine it as a dance, like many early carols. The singer says: Get up, neighbour, get going, run, see the baby in the crib - God is born on earth. Choose the very best of your flock, neighbour, and give it with all your heart to Joseph and Mary. Hell is finished; Heaven has the victory. Neighbour, let's sing the praises of the long awaited Messiah. The harmonies are deceptively simple, and from time to time deliberately dissonant, in keeping with ancient modal music styles. (The scoring is SAB - I taught it to my French choir, and as for many 3 part choirs, it's actually S/A/ deep voices!).

Sylvia Miles #804048. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1205860). This beautiful prayer is the Aaronic Blessing, given by Moses to Aaron, for the people of God. I wanted it to be uncomplicated and accessible, and as far as possible to follow the rhythms of speech. This version is for 2-part choir, S and A, with an optional top note, and piano accompaniment.The singing is interspersed by a simple piano motif symbolising cheerfulness.I wrote it (proud mama) to mark this year's ordination to Deacon of my daughter. It's one of her favourite prayers.(Though she says the prayer she uses most often is Help!).

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1230028 By Sylvia Miles. By Traditional Japanese. Arranged by Sylvia Miles. Folk,Multicultural,World. Octavo. 4 pages. Sylvia Miles #825791. Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1230028). This lovely Japanese folk song depicts spring, the season of cherry blossom; it's eagerly anticipated and everyone goes out to the parks and the countryside to breathe their fill of the magical fragrance.Originally 'Sakura' was an urban song of the Edo period of the 17th and 18th centuries. Like many eastern melodies it uses a pentatonic scale. It's often sung in international settings, as a song representative of Japan.I wrote this arrangement at a time when my choir only had a few (not very confident) Tenors and Basses, so wherever possible I put them together.Although it's presented as SATB, it's easy to see that the Ts and Bs support each other!The aim is to combine a feeling of timelessness (the sustained lines of the Ts and Bs) with a blossomy feeling of floaty weightlessness (Ss and As). Hope you enjoy singing it!

Published by Sylvia Miles (A0.1118650). I can't resist U A Fanthorpe's Christmas poems, written each year to send out to friends, now published by Enitharmon Press. This poem hooked me on the first reading - like the birds, it just ASKS to sing! Try to capture the swooping of the swallow, the brashness of the wren, the melody of the blackbird - and then, the soundless yet penetrating quality of the owl's verse.

Fanga Alafia is a chant of welcome, from Liberia, in the Yoruba language.Fanga Alafia means hello, we dance a welcome; Aa shay aa shay means come and be with us.It's arranged for SAA, basically treble voices. It's a great song for youngsters (or indeed the young at heart).The second altos, with their skippy rhythm, have the fun of lightening the whole piece - not something that A2s are often asked to do!In the call and response section, especially in verse 4, you could have 1s and 2s doing the call / response, with a sort of contest to see who can sound more welcoming. The song sounds great with a drum.
