Puget Sound Youth Ensemble; Dan Davison, conductor
This dramatic work uses the sound and methods of the late Baroque period as introduction to the classics. Tenor and bass parts have limited ranges that will work well with any age, including those with a changing voice. Great teaching and per-formance piece!
The Chowan University Women's Chorus; Dr. Gregory Parker, conductor This song tells the sorrowful legend of the Cherokee Rose, that grows wherever a Native American mother's tears have fallen. Multiple voicing option allows you to choose what suits your choir, from middle school and beyond. Substitution between voice parts and instruments gives you further options.

Panther Creek High School Chamber Choir; Brad Bensen, conductor This brief, up-tempo, joyous song from early 1800-hundred programs easily, showing off young choirs singing a foreign language: first verse in German and the second in English. Easy learning with excellent performance notes!
Kantorei, Richard Larson, conductor
An excellent work for beginning high school choir, with flowing lines, contained ranges and straightforward accompani-ment. Engaging romantic poetry by Percy Bysshe Shelley will appeal to maturing young singers. The optional C instrument enhances the lyrical texture of a wonderful concert piece.
Le Petit Chæur; Lynne Gackle, conductor Just right for your young voice, this work received instant, enthusiastic response from the start. Christina Rosetti's lovely poem inspired David Childs to write this gorgeous work. It offers ample opportuni-ties for the developing voices to express the beautiful imagery of the text.
Hal Leonard studio singers
A classic work from the Swedish choral tradition, it is sung every year at the start of the summer holidays by thousands of school choirs. Its hymn-like simplicity and unstrained lines make it an excellent addition to concert and worship services. For developing voices as well as mixed choirs of all ages. English text.
