by KAREN MARROLLI for SATB and Hand Drum

This bold and exciting new piece was inspired by the wild beauty of the High Desert of New Mexico. The delicate relationship between resources and inhabitants in this area of the world highlights our responsibility to be good stewards of the Earth. The music begins simply and builds throughout, illustrating both a growing urgency and a growing and varied chorus of voices coming together to give thanks. This hearty new work makes for an excellent concert/festival opener or processional. Hear and See the complete score: https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1742

NEW RELEASE FOR TTBB
“Play me the music I cannot hear…” A beautiful and heart-warming new piece about neurodiversity for Tenor-Bass ensembles with piano accompaniment. Written in the form of a conversation, this popular-song style choral work flows along with plenty of rhythmic interest and dissonant harmonies. As the piece goes on, the audience learns that the “light” being described represents the unseen value of those who are neurodivergent, and that we can work through this disconnect in communication if we stand together, regardless of cognitive identities. See & Hear: https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1752

Powerful harmonies. Captivating lyrics. High school and college Tenor-Bass ensembles of all sizes will bond together singing this ballad and creed of true friendship. With glorious suspensions and modern parallel a ca****la movement, this choral piece explores the promises we can make to the people we love -- that when life's storms set in, we'll be right at their side, waiting with them for the wind to stop howling and the sky to open.

Moonlight, a literal reflection of sunlight, is a promise that the sun is still shining -- even when the sun is not visible.

by Joel Snyder & Jane Kozhevnikova for SATB
https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1714

“Golow an Tewlder" (Cornish for "Light the Darkness") is derived from the early Celtic language of Cornwall, spoken in the Southwestern corner of Britain and related to Welsh and Breton. In this lovely lullaby we are encouraged to be forces of light in an all too often dark world. Singable and sincere, with a delightful melody and supportive piano accompaniment. A sweet addition to any program.

03/28/2023

NEW RELEASE by Melinda Bargreen for SATB
https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1710

Melinda Bargreen has written an impassioned, empowering new work for unaccompanied mixed chorus. With rich harmonies in full eight-part divisi throughout, this piece is bold and unifying. Written in response to choruses being "silenced" during the Covid pandemic, yet applicable to any challenging situation one faces in everyday life: "there is no way to stop our hopes, our dreams, our music.” Especially appropriate for large ensembles.

NEW RELEASE: Go Forth by Matt Carlson
See & Hear: https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1703

"Wherever you go, go forth!" This simple, mostly unison song for any choir has a supportive piano accompaniment and encouraging lyrics that invite us all to "go forth" by leading with compassion and grace. It would be especially appropriate as a tribute for any kind of teacher appreciation event or for departing friends at year-end or graduation events.

NEW RELEASE by Mosh Ben Ari, arr. Ross Fishman
See & Hear: https://sbmp.com/SR2.php?CatalogNumber=1707

Tenor-Bass choirs will have a blast singing this joyful Israeli Song for Peace. This uplifting new arrangement begins slowly and somewhat plaintively, and, as it repeats, gradually increases in tempo and excitement. Sung in Hebrew and Arabic, the text translates as "Peace will come upon us, yet." With accessible ranges, a supportive and tasteful piano accompaniment, hand claps, optional solo opportunities, and optional djembe, this song is sure to be a hit!

03/10/2023

NEW MUSIC FROM AIDAN VASS
Good luck holding back tears with this one. Written for USC's Apollo Chorus and set to a simple, gorgeous text by Rudyard Kipling about admiration and unconditional love. Composer Vass highlights the natural beauty of the text with a memorable, creative melody. Tenor-Bass choirs will love singing these harmonies and pianists will love playing this fascinating accompaniment. This "homage to mothers" is captivating and poignant!
