“Five from the Folder: Treble Choirs” by Ashley Conway

FIVE FROM THE FOLDER: TREBLE CHOIR by Ashley Conway

 

1.  “Sisters” (from “My Girls”). Gwyneth Walker. SSA  a cappella. Treble Clef Music Press.

This text can serve to unify women of all backgrounds because we, indeed, are all “sisters.” School-yard clapping and an upbeat tempo make this a popular piece with choirs.

 

2.  “I See the Heaven’s Glories Shine.” Andrea Ramsey. SSAA w/piano accompaniment. Santa Barbara Music Press.

This piece has a powerful text, expansive harmonies, moving quiet moments, and will be a favorite in your library.

 

3.  “No Time.” arr. Susan Brumfield. SSAA. Colla Voce.

There are many options with soli and full ensemble singing. The dynamic contrast in this piece makes it truly special.

 

4.  “This Little Light of Mine.” arr. Walter Ehret. Alfred.

Swinging rhythms and true, “Gospel” style in the vocal lines make this piece fun, but accessible. You can have up to six different soloists in this piece to showcase your solo singers.

 

5. “I Will Sing.” Glenda Franklin. Brilee.

Extremely moving text and harmonies that your choir will love. There is a lot of room for artistic expression that will make your performance unique.
