The award-winning African American singing group Sweet Honey in the Rock has made this piece popular, and they shared with the arranger the text that they learned from an African native. The translation of the original Swahili is: "We are marching in the light of God." A fine addition to the catalog, "Babethandaza" features percussion, which adds to this wonderful arrangement.

Broadway composer Schwartz sets the dramatic poem of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow; the result: a stunning choral composition. The turning of the potter's wheel is ever-present in the choir as beautiful melodies soar above.

Composer: Stephen Schwartz

Dramatically combing two Sara Teasdale poems, the composer paints an enlightened statement of the spirit of spring, not with bird calls, but rather as a tone poem for singers.

Composer: Joshua Shank

As the music builds to its peak, it travels through lush harmonies, with much textual overlay adding to the intensity of the journey. After a final dramatic choral splash, the music peacefully ends with the simple unity of a soul-felt song. Beautiful.

Composer: Daniel Hughes
