Neil A. Johnson From the opening verse (a baritone feature or optional solo), this lively and clever arrangement of the American folksong classic will be a real crowd-pleaser.

It has limited ranges and is loads of fun!

NEW CONCERT MUSIC FROM ROGER DEAN PUBLISHING CO. Repertoire for festivals, community choirs, and collegiate ensembles

Faith, Hope, and Love A Choral Triptych

Music and Orchestration by Mark Hayes Words by John Parker Inspired by a familiar passage of scripture, this 15-minute work is written in three movements, each one exploring a theme of the title. “This Is Faith” begins with a treble solo. After growing into soaring passages sung by both choirs, the movement ends with a reprise of the beginning solo and the statement I believe dawn will rise again. This is faith. “While I Breathe, I Hope” is an energetic and rhythmic contrast to the first piece, full of syncopation and joyous lyrics that communicate a message of hope.

“Love Conquers All” celebrates the beauty of creation and that love is what binds us all together. Set in a dance-like 6/8 meter, it builds to a momentous climax and then concludes with a quiet, unaccompanied “Amen” set in a polyphonic style.

Faith, Hope, and Love may be performed in its entirety or as individual pieces. Either way, this music is perfect for concerts, festivals, or worship services, whether performed with Mark Hayes’s own orchestration or piano alone.

We are pleased to have the privilege of bringing these new settings of traditional Latin texts to choirs in North America. Written by Korean composer Hyun Kook, these stylistically diverse works are equally effective as stand-alone pieces or in any combination to form a set in concert. (We would like to acknowledge Gwang Myeong City Choir, conductor Young Jin Kim, and pianist Hye Jung Kim for providing the recording excerpts included with this catalog.)

Lux aeterna

O magnum mysterium

Lush, dense harmonies characterize this setting of the familiar text from the Requiem mass.

Challenging even for accomplished choirs, the work involved in rehearsing the piece will be rewarded by deeply moving concert experiences for audiences and performers alike.

With a very tender opening, the musical treatment of this Christmas text inspires a sense of transcendental awe as the music traverses a number of keys. About halfway through, the homophonic texture changes with canonic restatements of the opening theme before ending with quiet Alleluias and Amens.

Ubi caritas Notated without a key signature, this setting of the first part of the traditional text evokes a sense of mystery as chromatic voice leading shapes the vocal writing, leading to a climax in C Lydian. Short but profound, this piece provides an excellent opportunity to explore less-conventional harmonic structures.

15/4024R SATB divisi a cappella ........................... $1.85

O lux beata Trinitas 5

Opening with a chant-like tenor solo, this

exciting piece in 8 has the effect of one long crescendo, as the texture grows through the addition of voices and increasing dynamic level. Full of rhythmic energy, the intensity of the piece builds as two phrases of text are continuously cycled through the voices.

This exceptional arrangement is a staple among the repertoire of concert spirituals written specifically for women. In it, Carey uses the full range of the mature female voice to convey the deep pathos and the exuberant cry for hope that this traditional text conveys.

Bold musical lines and expansive harmonies distinguish Carson Cooman’s powerful and introspective setting of a well-known George Eliot text. So shall I join the choir invisible whose music is the gladness of the world.

With text by a former Poet Laureate of West Virginia, this haunting work expresses the longing and wonder of a teenage girl who grew up in an isolated part of Appalachia. The chilling piano accompaniment frames the writing for women’s voices, which alternates between two and four parts.

Russell L. Robinson

You, the instrumental teacher, have been given the “opportunity” to work with a choir. Whether or not the decision was made by you or for you, moving from the realm of Sousa to the land of sopranos can be a disconcerting prospect for even the most experienced band or orchestra director. But fear not—trained instrumentalist turned choral director Russ Robinson, has written I Know Sousa, Not Sopranos! to help you survive your foray into this strange land. Dr. Robinson’s goals with this guide are simple—to show those educators who have been trained in instrumental music that they already possess many of the musical skills necessary to teach choral music, and to present, in a straightforward and accessible manner, knowledge and awareness of key areas unique to directing a choir.

TEXTBOOKS

Hogey’s Journey A Memoir

Eph Ehly

This book was written to help classically trained choral directors begin a vocal jazz group or improve an existing ensemble. Chapters include It’s a Matter of Style, explaining the three general categories of vocal jazz, swing, Latin, and ballad; Sound Reinforcement, which includes practical information on all the components of a sound system, including specific types of equipment and set-up; and Choreography, Staging, and Programming, focusing on the great debate: shall we dance?

The life of legendary choral conductor and clinician Dr. Eph Ehly is a life lived in passionate dedication to living to learn, learning to teach, and teaching to learn how to live. With this memoir, he opens a window into that remarkable life and the steadfast personal and professional philosophies that guide it. As you journey through the book, you will find yourself invigorated and saddened, entertained and challenged, and, ultimately, reminded of what truly matters in a life—not just the life of a choral conductor/educator, but the life of one who strives for balance, contentment, and joy in all aspects of life.
