This compilation contains six, delightful compositions by Rene Clausen for the express enjoyment of your mixed-voice group. 'The Early Bird' is a tone poem that lets out all the stops, presenting a wonderful adventure for the advanced choir. 'Song at Dusk' is much like a vocal tone poem, in how the soaring melodies dramatically illuminate the poem (by Leigh Haynes). 'Plenty Good Room' is guaranteed to bring down the house, swinging with classy, jazz element including a scat solo. 'Alleluia' is a dramatic piece containging marvelous harmonic build-up and a sensitive ending. 'In the Bleak Midwinter' is a composition based on a poem by Christina Rossetti that was originally a Christmas poem expressing her piety and love for the beauty of nature. 'Canticle of Praise' was originally written for the King's Singers (a 6-man ensemble) and the Morman Tabernacle Choir, however, this publication is the version re-scored by the Clausen for performance by his Concordia Choir.
