Adeste Fideles
Beauty in simplicity best
describes Greg’s new Latin
setting, Adeste Fideles, for the
Christmas season. The unison
singing gently seated above a
fluid piano accompaniment
develops into a musically
lifting chorus that will bring
out the best in your young
singers’ voices. The “B” section, more bold and
deliberate, resolves back into
the softer verse and chorus,
creating repetition in learning.
Available for TB voices as well,
this piece creates a wonderful
opportunity for your male
singers to sing with heart and
confidence.

this Greg Gilpin arrangement.
Beginning with the stately "Rejoice Greatly,"
the voice parts are simplified

has been modified in a few
places to allow for more
limited ranges, especially
the tenor line. Available

I CAN FEEL THE RHYTHM!
8 Rhythm-Teaching Chorals Using Vocal Speech
Singers who do not play an instrument are sometimes in need of help reading rhythms. A savvy music educator knows one way to teach rhythm is to take the “notes” out of the song. No singing, just speaking in a rhythmic way. I Can Feel the Rhythm by Greg Gilpin does just that.
This collection contains eight chorals that are fun to learn, interesting to teach and entertaining for performers and listeners. With selections for holidays and patriotic celebrations, as well as a piece that teaches how to sing softly and to “sing” musical rests your singers will learn how rhythms look, sound and feel. They will develop their own musicianship skills throughout each piece by adding dynamics and vocal expression. Drum parts are included in this collection!

A
Star Spangled Celebration (incorporating This Is My
Country, America and My Country ’Tis of Thee)
This fast paced, pop-style
medley is a break from patriotic
tradition. Opening grandly into
a contemporary work with This Is
My Country, this choral develops
into America, grows into a
gospel style setting of My
Country ’Tis of Thee and ends as
it began with This Is My
Country. It remains up-beat and
powerful until the very last
chord. A Star Spangled
Celebration is a choreographer’s
dream of movement and energy,
and a wonderful addition to
festival programming.

Think On Me
Never has this art song
by Alicia Ann Scott sounded
so beautiful, and chorally
arranged so effectively
than now. Heart-wrenching
harmonies interpret the
touching text and the almost
hymn-like pianissimo, a
cappella verse adds to the
dynamic touches that build
in the last refrain and
fade away with the last
lyric. A choral that will
teach your students expression.
