Anne-Marie Hildebrandt is drawn to Irish melody and this piece is not exception. Here she sets the traditional Irish tune for unaccompanied treble voices with soprano solo. It works great with high school or older voices.
Most voice teachers and singers still prefer the pianistic, wonderfully gratifying editions made by Alessandro Parisotti (1853-1913) of early Italian arias. This newly researched edition, with updated composer attributions, features new, clean music engravings. The collection includes the original contents of 24 Italian Songs and Arias of the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries plus four additional Parisotti editions. Also includes international phonetic alphabet for each song text, word for word translations for study, historical introduction for each aria, and a preface on Parisotti and his approach to this music. This compilation includes the High, Medium High, Medium, Medium Low, and Low editions in one book, perfect for teacher reference. The “Complete” set is comparable to a retail price of $49.95 if components are bought separately.

Not often does a song so completely capture the spirit of a new world, but this one does with an exclamation point. Proud, expectant, hopeful, assuring, as full as the Statue of Liberty, this dynamic piece celebrates all these things with dignity and grace. Destined to be an American classic for high school and college treble choirs. Medium to Difficult.
The word lullaby conjures up a gentle bedtime song, and true to form, Gartan Mother's Lullaby is that and so much more. Under arranger Jaysmith's care there comes an added mystery and caress, rich with images of crickets and fog and lambs and such. Delicately written for treble chorus, appropriate for high school, college and community ensembles. Medium.
SATB
A multi-movement work for choir, piano, and cello from Alice Parker using several Emily Dickinson poems. Expertly crafted vocals that are both complex and singable. The piano is supportive and yet exists as its own entity. The cello soars above as a heavenly voice. A fantastic selection for high school, university, and community choirs.
