"I want to thank you so very much for the Part-by-Part downloads. They are wonderful. It saved me so much time to put them on my school blog in order for the students to review the music at home. I love it so very much. At this time of so little incentives available to educators, you go down on my list as a hero to music educators everywhere. Please keep up the incredible service. Thanks again."

My Heart Sings: Solo Songs for the Developing Treble Voice
Compiled, Composed and Arranged by Mark Patterson
BLB005
Book and CD – $24.95
Let Nature Sing is the fifth in a series of solo song volumes for young singers. This volume contains a variety of styles ranging from spirituals to folks songs and original pieces, written or arranged by female composers well-known for their understanding and sensitivity to the needs of the developing treble voice.
This book, like the rest of the series, presents well-calculated vocal challenges of range and expression, while building a beautifully wrought repertoire for the young singer.
My Heart Sings has songs for the developing treble voice with narrow ranges of six and seven notes; there are others that expand the range as the voice develops and matures. The nature of the songs is to challenge the voice, not to tax it, to develop its expressive capabilities, not to over-extend it. We hope you enjoy this volume of solo songs.
David Eddleman has outdone himself with this fantastic, fun, and rhythmic accompanied arrangement for SSA voices, set to the poem of the same name from Alice in Wonderland. Excellent diction is essential in telling this fantastical story, in which Alice meets the Mock Turtle and the Gryphon, who teach her to dance. Eddleman’s playful and unique accompaniment highlights the interplay between the unison and three-part sections. Perfect for any concert or festival need.
For SA choir and piano, Make Space for Life to Live offers compelling, expansive melodies interwoven with a piano accompaniment that makes subtle allusions to the main theme. Its persuasive text is sure to resonate with singers and audience members alike. Appropriate for concert or festival use throughout the year. Also available for TB voices (CM9283) and SAB voices (CM9289).
Laura Farnell has drawn her inspiration for this gospel-style composition from the work of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and others like him, who worked to break down the barriers of racial and social discrimination. A gripping Van Dyke text delivers the powerful message: when we choose love and sing together in community, surely “peace and love will conquer hate and strife.” Also available for S(S)ATB voices (CM9294).

Thomas Juneau’s setting of the Latin text Resonet in Laudibus (“Let the voice of praise resound”) for SSA voices is reminiscent of Benjamin Britten’s Ceremony of Carols. Juneau masterfully shifts from a rhythmically charged compound meter infused with proclamations of “Eja,” to a nimble simple meter evoking the excitement of the holiday season. Accompanied by piano and optional harp, this piece is sure to be a favorite for singer and listener alike.
