voice. (3 to 5) Same as CC 312
Battle
Hymn Of The Republic
CC 514 – SATB,
This very dramatic setting demands mature, full voices. A grandiose
ending brings the music to a stunning close. (3 to 5) Same as CC 131
I’m Just A
Poor Wayfaring Stranger
CC 513 – SATB,
This setting of the song has numerous features that your choir will
enjoy. Contemporary harmonies in keeping with the message of the
text. (3 to 5) Same as CC 134
In The Bleak
Midwinter
CC 509 – SATB, A
setting of the popular melody and text by Gustav Holst. It’s found
in almost every hymnal. Contains some unusual modern harmonies that
are a joy to sing. (3 to 5) Same as CC 137
It Is Well With
My Soul
CC 505 - An easy
arrangement of this well known hymn. (1 to 3)
Oh, Thou From
Whom All Goodness Flows
CC 501 – SATB, A
rather unusual setting in which the music develops in the manner of
a set of variations. Contrapuntal with contemporary harmonies. (4
to 5) Same as CC 128
Pretty Little
Jesus
CC 508 – SATB,
This traditional spiritual is perfect for Christmas season
performance. Slightly contemporary, but very accessible harmonies.

) with choir. (2 to 3)
Rejoice And Be
Merry
CC 502 – SATB,
This traditional English Christmas text is set to new music in a
distinctly contemporary harmonic style making extensive use of
changing meters. Incorporates a contrapuntal refrain “Gloria in
excelsis Deo.” An exciting, joyous and challenging piece. (4 to
5) Same as CC 132
Shine On Me
CC 506 – SATB,
This 19th century hymn by B. B. McKinney is rarely heard

opportunities for vocal improvisation. (3 to 5) Same as CC 139
Winter

This text, adapted from one by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is sometimes
called "A Winter Carol". Ideal for the cold days of winter. (2 to
3) Same as CC 142

increasingly complex set of 5 variations on the original melody and
harmonies. Highly contrapuntal with contemporary harmonies. (3 to
5) Same as CC 153
Worthy Art
Thou To Be Praised
CC 510 – SATB,

style. At times there are mildly dissonant contemporary
harmonies. (3 to 5) Same as CC 149
