Christ Rising Again by William Byrd
The original version of this piece is in d-minorand contained sections in which the upper two staveswere accompanied by a consort of instruments. Thisedition fills in those instrumental sections with words(as may have been done by singers of the time),making the piece suitable for an SSATTB acapellachoir. Meters were simplified, slurs added to melismaticpassages, and dynamics marked. A few words wereshifted to make some timing issues easier. Lastly,several notes in the third staff were shifted by anoctave to better suit the range of the altos. more »
He Shall Feed His Flock from Handel’s Messiah (acappella)
He Shall Feed His Flock is one of the lovely solos from Handel’s Messiah that is appropriate for Christmas, Easter or any sacred concert or service focusing on the Savior.There are two options given of the solo in the original oratorio, this arrangement is based on the one that starts off with an Alto soloist and then, in the second half, a Soprano soloist takes over. I’ve arranged it here for an SATB acappella quartet (though there is no reason a larger choir couldn’t use it):The arrangement still features the soprano and alto solos (or sections if you desire). I hope you enjoy it. more »

Truth Eternal
This arrangement for intermediate choirs may be simplified by leaving out the middle note in the 3-part divisi for both or either the men's or women's sections. Schreiner's melody is treated with an interesting harmonic background that adds an additional dimension to the piece. more »
