CARL FISCHER

E PLURIBUS UNUM
E Pluribus Unum, "out of many, one", is the phrase on the Seal of the United States. Never codified by law, the phrase was considered a de facto motto of the United States until 1956. This sets the tone for this strong setting for developing tenor-bass ensembles.  Gilpin affords singers the opportunity to develop independent part-singing with pure, uniform, Latin vowels.

BRILEE MUSIC

CHICKEN ON A FENCEPOST
Chicken scratchin' fun abounds in Gilpin’s arrangement of this 19th century dance reels Hello Susie Brown and Four in the Middle. Even though this is a novelty piece, it is full of teaching opportunity, rehearsal fun and is sure to be a performance gem.

CHORISTERS GUILD

TAFTA HINDI
Look no further for that unique multicultural programming gem. Gilpin's setting of this Middle Eastern folk song is bright, fun and flirtatious! The text, in classic Arabic, tells the story of a traveling salesman selling Indian muslin, taffeta and other pretty material and wares for women to purchase. The Arabic is repetitive, easily learned, and helps fuel the rhythmic feel of the melody and overall style of the piece. A pronunciation guide and translation are provided, along with helpful performance notes.

WHEN THE TRAIN COMES ALONG MEDLEY
Three popular spirituals: When the Train Comes Along; This Train; and The Gospel Train comprise this dynamic and rhythmic mini-medley. Packing tons of energy, it’s also a fabulous choice for use as a closing number or encore.  Gilpin’s smart piano accompaniment emulates the rhythmic motion of a train and provides added interest and excitement.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SNOW
Creating a mood full of wonder, mystery and anticipation, Gilpin's expressive original is a superb choice for your winter or holiday concert. The hauntingly beautiful minor melody is first stated in unison. It then expands into full harmony, culminating in an ending of quiet unison. This piece provides wonderful opportunities to teach phrasing, text interpretation, rubato and to experience a full range of dynamics. "I see footprints in the snow, where they lead, I do not know. Who is this traveler all alone? Should I folloW... or turn for home?"

GOIN' NOW TO SEE THE BABY
Driving rhythms, syncopation, and a full spectrum of dynamic create an air of mystery and a sense of anticipation in this memorable contemporary original. Strong unison lines are complemented by full harmonies and a short descant for either a soloist or small group of sopranos lifts propels the piece to its dynamic conclusion. You don’t want to miss this Christmas showpiece, which will provide a marvelous contrast to your holiday programming.
