Halloween Parade for SATB, SAB, SSA, and 2-Part Choir

by Pinkzebra

A fun and upbeat song about a parade of kids in Halloween costumes. Bursting with youthful excitement, it captures the fun of dressing up as favorite characters, collecting candy, and marching through the neighborhood on Halloween. Perform with the accompaniment MP3 and help your choir members rehearse with the part-dominant MP3 practice tracks, available in a multi-user bundle to share with your whole choir.

Bright melodies, infectious rhythms, and an uplifting spirit drive the music forward, creating a piece that feels both joyful and forward-looking. Brimming with personality and momentum, this work is sure to energize performers and audiences alike.

Sing It from the Mountains for 2-Part and 3-Part Mixed Choir

by Jill Gallina

Perfect for middle and elementary school choirs as well as church children’s choirs, this bright arrangement sets the beloved Go Tell It on the Mountain as a partner song with a gospel-style original tune. Add the track for even more fun!

We Are One

We Are One for SATB Choir, Piano, and Flute

by Joyce Rouse

This charming song begins with indigenous chants, then blossoms into an anthem for our common humanity. Chosen by the United Nations as a New Song for Peace, it has become a favorite around the world and is sung and played widely. With a sing-along chorus, it often inspires a conga line of dancers. Grab a shaker or drum and make this a unique wake-up opening anthem or a finale with flair.

I’ve Been Looking at the Sky Again for SATB/Unison Choir

by Grace Coberly

A spinning mess of harmony, wonder, and unfinished thoughts – using a simple two-chord progression and a few handfuls of jumbled polyphonic text, I’ve been looking at the sky again invites singers and listeners alike to look up and get lost in the miraculous bigness of the world.

Hurricane

Hurricane for SATB, SAB, SSA, and 2-Part Choir

by Pinkzebra

Full of determination and confidence, this empowering song is about being steady and reliable when a friend needs you most. Using storm imagery and other metaphors, the lyrics show how to provide strength and support when a friend’s life feels like a hurricane.

Incredible to Me

Incredible to Me for SA Choir

by Garrett Breeze

This catchy partner song uses imagery of shapes and how they fit together as a metaphor about belonging. A great way to introduce two-part singing to your choir.

Rock Him Gently for 2-Part Choir

by Jill Gallina

Combining the traditional What Child Is This? with the original countermelody Rock Him Gently, this partner song is flexible and accessible to two-part voices of any combination. Add the optional violin or flute obbligato for even more sweetness, or use the accompaniment track that features a gentle arpeggiated guitar.

Flowers for You for TBB Choir

by Dan Miner

Perfect for the developing tenor-bass choir, this short and sweet original provides an accessible opportunity to sing a cappella. A charming poem by Edward Smyth Jones is paired with accessible harmonies, conservative ranges, and expressive writing, making this an outstanding concert or festival selection.

The Daffodils

The Daffodils for SATB and SSAA Choir

by Grace Coberly

This setting of I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud establishes and then rearranges its own original folk tune. Rather than drawing on the sweetness of Wordsworth’s flowers, the piece accentuates the unearthly, almost magical energy one encounters when isolated in nature through which, if left unchecked, one’s imagination might run wild.
