The Silver Swan
Orlando Gibbons/Arr. Russell Robinson

With thought-provoking text and imagery, Renaissance writer Orlando Gibbons pens, "More geese than swans now live, more fools than wise, "bringing both singers and audience to a stark realization of life.

Easily sung with opportunities for Renaissance stylistic study and performance, this is what we have come to recognize as Russ' expertise and he delivers on this one!

Ah Robyn!
William Cornysh/Arr. Patrick M. Liebergen

"Ah!," is certainly the way to describe this enchanting piece. In both the musical arrangement and the editorial, educational notes provided, Pat is at his best in this wonderful selection. English madrigal writer, William Cornysh provides the original work for this stylistic piece while the addition of the flute and hand drum, by the arranger completes this lively chorus. If performed with energy and rhythmic articulation, the natural inflections of the English text will sing themselves! Parts are provided for both flute and hand drum in the printed choral.

Go Tell Aunt Rhody
Arr. Dean Rishel

This is not "your parent's rendition" of a childhood classic! Dean Rishel brings his signature talent to this little piece, turning the "ordinary" into the "extraordinary!" Your choir will thrill to the drama of the goose as it dies slowly, thoughout the piece, with the final, sad tones "the old gray goose is...dead," echoing through the hall. Somewhat fugal in nature and structure, with canonic passages, this arrangement is challenging and beautiful. A wonderful novelty piece for concert, festival or contest!
