“Coventry Carol” is one of the most popular carols in the English language. Dating from the 16th century, the tune has been arranged hundreds of times. This setting by composer Dan Davison presents the tune for TTBB voices with finger cymbals. Try it with your high school, college/university, or community male chorus.
Excerpted from What Sweeter Music, this seasonal evergreen shines anew in a creative arrangement designed for success. Thoughtful directors will find this artfully rendered gem a splendid addition to their traditional Lessons and Carols services and holiday concerts. Each section of the choir will discover expressive interest and the accompaniment reflects the heart and hand of a pianist. A welcome addition to the Christmas canon!

This classic Disney song with clever lyrics will be a delightful showcase for men's voices and great entertainment across the generations! With piano and optional bass and percussion.
Beginning with the repeated phrase “Hey! now, now, now” as a whisper in the bass voice and expanding to all voice parts throughout the piece, this carol portrays the exciting news of the new born baby Jesus. The excitement of sharing a secret becomes too much to contain by the end of the music.
Argento has crafted a five-movement suite from his 1964 opera “The Masque of Angels.” Designed as a mini choral drama, it includes a Processional for the angels; the well-known Gloria; the colorful Arrival of the Archangels; a majestic Sanctus; and a joyful Recessional. Best for larger ensembles, this suite is a showcase for magnificent choral sound. Orchestra parts are available on rental.
The anonymous Middle English text is a beautiful, poignant contemplation of mortality, and Argento's setting of it casts a quiet, haunting spell. The men's chorus is occasionally joined by an insistent single chime note. The complete major work “Te Deum” (48002908) was performed at the 2017 National ACDA Conference in Minneapolis.
Arranged for a capella mixed chorus (SSAATTBB). This delightful piece with parallel text to the popular hymn, proffers a simple yet beautiful original melody line, drawn out in 8-part harmony. This arrangement was featured as the title track on the BYU Singers album My Redeemer Lives.
