Truly a song that needs no introduction! This national treasure is arranged for success with power and respect for the original song. Quoting “America the Beautiful,” the arrangement begins with a flourish before settling into the opening, lesser-performed verse of the Irving Berlin standard. Gradually building to a massive finale, this anthem will have the audience singing along and cheering even before the final notes are sounded.
Scripture: II Chronicles 7:14; Psalm 33:12
I believe in the sun even when it's not shining
I believe in love even when I feel it not
I believe in God even when He is silent.
Commissioned by the St. Olaf Festival in Trondheim, Norway, Even When He Is Silent masterfully expresses the sentiment of the text – hope in times of despair. Beautifully melodic, with rich harmonic texture from the fresh compositional voice of Kim André Arnesen.
“The text was found written on a wall at a concentration camp after World War II. Imagining what that person went through makes the words so powerful. As I read them, it was a Credo – when everything is dark and difficult in life you might wonder where God is, or if God is there at all. This is about keepign faith in God, love, and hope. I think of the sun as a metaphor ofr home.“Even without think of metaphors, the text has a deep meaning. Even if people take away your freedom, your friends, the people you love – they cannont take God away from you.”
– Kim André Arnesen
Old Joe Clark is a tremendously fun American folksong from the Appalachian region. Fantastic and fun vocal lines are supported by a lively, yet accessible, piano accompaniment. Add spoons and clapping/stomping for a great time!

Bonk' abaphable is a tremendously fun arrangement by South African musicicians Michael Barrett and Mbuso Ndlovu. This celebratory isiZulu song is a quick learn that will pay dividends for audiences and choirs! Add percussion, clapping, and ululations to make the most of this work.
Recorded by Train, this recent hit is a happy and sweet selection about love and friendship. Instrumental parts are available but this sincere selection can be performed with guitar only or even a cappella and is available for many voicings including 2-part and men's choirs.
