The 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."

The Garden of Dreams [level: Medium]
Matthew Emery
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1816 | duration: 4'35"
| price: $2.80
accompaniment: piano
The poetry by Bliss Carman speaks of a refuge; a garden safe from harm where we are sheltered from the fragility of life, and are provided a safe haven for our memories to dwell. This unique work unfolds over a flowing piano line which weaves in and out of the various choral textures and reminds us of our capacity to love, and to be loved. There are moments of polyphony and homophony in the choral writing which emerge and intertwine like blossoming flowers. A lovely ballad with standard ranges in all voice parts (with optional cue notes).

Matthew Emery
| Jamie Hillman Choral Series
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1663 | duration: c. 3’25”
| price: $2.60
accompaniment: piano
The Gift to Sing, the inaugural piece in the Jamie Hillman Choral Series, is a setting of the poem of the same name by revered African American poet and civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson. Matthew Emery’s (b. 1991) unique ability to tell a story through song is perfectly coupled with Johnson’s hopeful and inspiring words on the power of singing to overcome grief, strife, and adversity. The work utilizes a somewhat varied strophic form, though phrases are slightly varied and developed. Different textures are created so that each section presents the main theme, and various voices add counterpoint which cause the piece to blossom. An exciting choice for concert, festival, honor choir, competition, assembly, or Black History Month.
