Cantate cum gaudio
Henrique Morozowicz
Sing with joy—the composer has created a delightful setting of the text. An accessible piece with conservative ranges and divisi only on the final phrase. The text is secular.

Shojojee
Japanese folk song arranged by B. Wayne Bisbee
This charming Japanese folk song tells the story of a temple in Shojojee where racoon-like animals would dance and beat their big stomachs like drums to compete with the music from the temple monks. The repetitive Japanese text is not difficult to master; the text underlay is a phonetic transliteration. The instruments add authenticity and color.
