In 1972, the Morehouse College Glee Club was preparing for a historic tour of Africa. Wendell P. Whalum, the highly acclaimed educator, musicologist, arranger and director transcribed the melody of this folk song as it was sung by a native Nigerian who was a student at Morehouse College at the time. Dr. Brown has set this melody for mixed voices and optional Percussion.

Composer: Uzee Brown

A lyric melody and sensitive harmonies join hands in this intimate setting of an Isaac Watts text to create a poignant seasonal lullaby.

Composer: Stephen Caracciolo

This tuneful piece is composed in the style of an Irish folk ballad. Each voice part gets to opportunity to sing the melody plus the true hallmark of any good folk song, a high note at the end of their verse.

Composer: Robert Bowker

Scott MacPhereson's edition of Mendelssohn's "Im Walde" and "Jaglied" brings these pieces that were, in the composer's words, meant "to be sung in the open air" into the concert hall. Beautifully lyrical, "Im Walde" features a simplicity of means that perfectly highlights the text, while the quick and rhythmic "Jaglied" mimics the sound of galloping horses as it illustrates a hunting scene.

Arranger: Scott MacPherson | Composer: Felix Mendelssohn
