How Do I Love Thee?

Ascribe to the Lord

This driving anthem is one of Rosephanye's best-sellers and is now available in SAB voicing. The God-honoring Psalm text is raised to a dynamic level that begs for an urgent response. This piece is uniquely moving. Great for high school and adult choirs in church or concert.

Divi Sirmi Kumelini

This traditional Latvian a cappella selection appears to be all about horses--horses eager to run--and run they do! However, it is really a mythological song about heavenly affairs and two grey steeds with their golden saddles and silver harnesses. An occasional 7/8 measure keeps us on our toes, as a variety of percussion instruments add to the excitement. A pedal-tone drone, moving from part to part, keeps the energy high and the pitch in check.

Let the Church Roll On

Want to pep up a worship service, or rouse the audience with a super encore? This is the piece to do it. There's some fun levity in this good ol' spiritual, especially the part about the choir singer. You'll have to see the song to know what that's about. Best of all, this arrangement has all of Stacey's stylin' but it's easy, almost all 4-part SATB (only a little soprano divis at the end). For church and school, high school ages and up, easy to medium.

Joshua

Stacey is known for his dynamic and expressive arrangements of spirituals, and his setting of Joshua proves why. He preserves the traditional spiritual while bringing in fresh and creative changes that lift it to new heights. As you would hope, the walls of Jericho do come down, and the endings shines in spirit and victory.

Du Dob Dob

A Lithuanian sutartine is the basis of this creative arrangement selected for the Bruce Rogers series. Beginning with foot stomps and hand claps, an energy is established immediately. The tune is an enchanting folk song introduced by the altos. The story is really a question - do you love me? Piano and percussion play a light but effective role. The piece grabs your attention and holds it magically to the very end.

Hymn to the Night

This well-known poem by Longfellow metaphorically paints the calming qualities of the night. What Richard Burchard does musically is enrapturing. The listener is immersed sonically into the poem even deeper. It is an obvious concert closer but standswell at other times too. Eight-part a cappella choir and tenor soloist will work best with advanced high school, college or community choirs. Medium difficulty.

I Go to the Rock

Come and Go (to that Land)

Glory Hallelujah to duh Newborn King

Organ Flourish on Joy to the World : Organ

Written in the French organ/ toccata style (in the style of Mulet's Thou Art the Rock), this is a joyful setting of a popular Christmas classic. While not easy, this piece is not outside the reach of the average organist who mayhave experience with this style or with standard French literature. This challenging and rewarding selection is a showstopper for a Christmas organ concert, or a wonderful postlude for Christmas Eve services.

Oh, It's Goin' To Be A Mighty Day

Out of the Deep I Have Called unto Thee

Combining Psalm 130 and 139, along with a text by Isaac Watts, teacher and composer Robert H. Young gives us another of his a cappella treats. His contemporary madrigal style that incorporates a harmonic romanticism is bestparalleled with a fine dessert. Rich in texture, his writing is so well-crafted, church choirs enjoy singing his work as do fine college ensembles.

Walk With Me, Lord (Arr. Powell) (SATB)

You have to hear it to believe it. The National AGO commissioned this beloved spiritual to be arranged with organ accompaniment. Who else but Rosephanye Powell understands both mediums well enough to make them merge into such a pleasing and powerful expression? Church choirs will find it most appealing, but schools with access to organ will also enjoy it. Easy to medium in difficulty.

Hold On!

Stacey Gibbs wants to “bring life” to the spiritual for use in the concert hall. This arrangement confirms why his arrangements are so popular: the rhythms and harmonies are fun to sing and he builds things up to arousing finish. This arrangement for women's voices reminds us to “keep your hand on the plow as you climb higher and higher...just hold on.”

Christus Natus Est

Rosephanye's music captures a flavor that respects the difficulties of her ethnic heritage. It is a wonderful and powerful statement in so many ways.African-American poet Countee Cullen is the text source Rosephanye has chosen to set to music and one understands why when the words are read.
