you can also hear
'All

Once the page
loads, if
you scroll down a little, you'll find an MP3 audio
clip of the piece
(you'll
see a small "speaker" icon). The ensemble featured in
the audio clip is
the
San Francisco Choral Artists, conducted by Magen
Solomon.

Once again, that Webpage link is:

=============================
Three Songs from Twelfth Night - SATB a cappella -
Greg A. Lapp - text
by
William Shakespeare bp971114
This set, which includes O Mistress Mine, Come Away
Death, and Hey,
Ho, the
Wind and the Rain , is melodic in nature but
challenging. The first is
a
lilting melody with rhythmic intrigue. The second uses
dissonance to
create a
wailing over lost love, and the last is a musical
farce to match the
character of the text.

Serenade - TTBB w/piano - David Clemensen - text by
Henry Wadsworth
Longfellow
It's pretty easy as TTBB goes. Text is below.

Stars of the sum-mer night!
Far in yon a-zure deeps,
Hide, hide your gol-den light!
She sleeps!
My la-dy sleeps!
Sleeps!

Moon of the sum-mer night!
Far down yon wes-tern steeps,
Sink, sink in sil-ver light!
She sleeps!
My la-dy sleeps!
Sleeps!

Wind of the sum-mer night!
Where yon-der wood-bine creeps,
Fold, fold thy pin-ions light!
She sleeps!
My la-dy sleeps!
Sleeps!

Dreams of the sum-mer night!
Tell her, her lo-ver keeps
Watch! while in slum-bers light
She sleeps!
My la-dy sleeps!
Sleeps!


If your choir can handle it, I'd really recommend
Water Night by the
young
composer Eric Whitacre. Stunning contemporary piece,
done a cappella.
You'll
love it.

Eric

========================================Take a look at R. Murray Schafer's "Epitaph for
Moonlight" It's a
very evocative piece.

Kevin

===================================Must do Murray Shafer's "Epitaph for Moonlight"
Susan Nace
susanna_co(a)juno.com
==========================
Our "night" set in our Spring Concert this year
included

Sure on this Shining Night
Samuel Barbar
Mata del anima sola
Antonio Estévez
Water Night
Eric Whitacre

==================================I am a composer and was commissioned to write a
storybook choral work called "Good Night..." by the
White Heron Chorale in Appleton, WI. Rick Bjella, the
director, is also the choral director at Lawrence
University. The work has had a number of performances,
including the IFCM conference in Rotterdam. It is
humorous and is of moderate difficulty.

The premise of the text is a night-time adventure by a
little girl who goes exploring in her neighborhood at
night. She encounters Ol' Lady Brody walking her dogs,
the Anderson's late-night shenanigans, and an
astronomer and his field-scope looking at
constellations. It was meant to be sung TO children
and has had a good deal of success. I would be glad to
send you a perusal score and recording if you're
interested.

Best, Randall
