From The Civil War by Frank Wildhorn and Jack Murphy, this dramatic song brings the reality of war into strikingly personal terms as a young soldier sings of his father and his own mortality. A powerful choice for men's chorus! With violin. Available: TTB. Duration: ca. 3:53.
Your pianist takes an equal role in this exquisite ballad that is tinged with melancholy. A superb selection for a more mature or community ensemble. “Here's to life, here's to love and here's to you.”
New in the Timothy Seelig choral series, this uplifting song is a powerful work of affirmation and inclusion that supports our shared spiritual heritage. “If I dance with the storm, I'll be safe in your arms.” A fantastic concert finale!
Sicut Locutus Est (BWV 243) – TTBB
A creative a capella setting of one of the most beautiful melodies ever sung.
A show-stopper if there ever was one! Each section of the men's choir gets their chance to “sound off,” sometimes to the amusement and other times to the disdain of the other sections. Percussion parts help bring the fun to both performers and listeners.
Men's choirs will truly enjoy this interesting and spirited new original about river men and the logging industry at the turn of the century. The energetic, rhythmic feel frames a contrasting middle section. Historical notes and definitions of lumber industry vernacular are included in this educational gem, equally appropriate for concert or festival.
Originally written for Kiss Me Kate, this Cole Porter tune has become a treasured part of the Great American Songbook. A sultry bass line and finger snaps command attention right from the first sizzling measure. Clean jazz writing makes the harmonies jump right off the page. Add the optional SoundPax or SoundTrax to bring the sound of classic Broadway to your stage!
No one but Mark Hayes could take this Gershwin masterpiece and make it into an absolutely rip-roaring, no-holds-barred choral work. You want rhythm? You'll get it, in more ways than you can count in this outstanding arrangement of one of America's great songs. A classic, by any standard.
This modern day jazz classic written by Barry Manilow using the lyrics of Johnny Mercer is paired with the timeless “Autumn Leaves,” also a Mercer lyric with music by Joseph Kosma. This arrangement is respectful of both songs, weaving them together to sing a message of loving someone who's gone as well as growing older and remembering days past. Breathtaking!
