CoverAlways Something Sings [level: Difficult]
Brandon G. Hurley | Matthew and Michael Culloton Choral Series
Digital Room Octavo
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1352 | duration: 3:28 | price: $1.75
accompaniment: A Capella

This piece was composed with the idea of music living not only in the joyous moments of life, but in some of the darkest. I left the piece fairly empty when it comes to dynamic markings because I believe the conductor can interpret this piece as he or she sees fit. The key component of the piece is keeping the flow, the movement that keeps the piece driving forward. I hope your choir finds this piece not only something fun to sing.

CoverThe Dark Around Us, Come [level: Medium]
Giselle Wyers | Giselle Wyers Choral Series
Digital Room Octavo
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1528 | price: $1.75
accompaniment: piano

This setting of Wendell Berry’s evocative poem “The Dark Around Us Come” can be sung as a stand-alone piece, or as the completion of a set of pieces Giselle Wyers calls “Three Hymns for the Earth”: 1: “The Dark Around Us Come, 2: I Go Among Trees, and 3: “The Waking”.

In this poem, Berry describes an imaginary tribunal of all the elements and creatures of the earth, including humans: “light, leaf, foot, hand, and wing”. These living creatures meet in darkness- a darkness of spirit, or the literal darkness of a shadowed forest, to attempt reconciliation. Wendell Berry seems to suggest that humankind must come to “know” all of the earth and join in harmony with the planet as “One household high and low” so that "all the earth shall sing.” This piece embodies the sorrow of our failings to reconcile with the earth, but ends with a poignant hope and optimism, as is reflected in Berry’s simple yet radiant text. The composer hopes by singing this work, we will find a way towards “rejoicing mind and eye, rejoining known and knower."
