An SATB work for experienced choirs. Rich harmonies featuring a lovely Tenor solo. -
A TTBB acapella setting of the A.E. Housman poem from "A Shropshire Lad". This is a sure to please work in the great tradition of the male glee club. When I was one-and-twenty I heard a wise man say, ‘Give crowns and pounds and guineas But not your heart away; Give pearls away and rubies But keep your fancy free.’ But I was one-and-twenty, No use to talk to me. When I was one-and-twenty I heard him say again, ‘The heart out of the bosom Was never given in vain; ’Tis paid with sighs a plenty And sold for endless rue.’ And I am two-and-twenty, And oh, ’tis true, ’tis true. -
A fun upbeat work for SAT. "Light the Lamps Up Lamplighter" has a text by Eleanor Farjeon, the same poet that created "Morning Has Broken" which became an important song for the famous vocalist "Cat Stevens". With optional drums, bass and synthesized brass/strings, this work, with challenging rhythmic elements, will be enjoyed by singers and audience alike. -
A fun non-denominational gospel style work, "Ev'ry Where" is easily singable by amateur or more advanced SATB choirs. Accompanied with as little as acoustic or electric piano the optional drums, bass. and Hammond Organ (or synthesizer equivalent) will surely get the house rockin'. -
A fun tuneful work for advanced vocal jazz ensembles with piano, bass, drums and optional instrumental solo. -
"Tell Me" is a work for two part high voices, with optional divisi. A whimsical work challenging both harmonically and rhythmically. The text asks (by a rather precocious child), some strangely interesting questions with a demand that someone "Tell Me"! One may want to consider utilizing "Tell Me" as the opening selection in a three works presentation for high voices by Jeffrey Kaufman. The second would be "Young and Old" and closing with "Frolic". -
A work for 2 part young voices with piano accompaniment. A nostalgic and tonal melodic setting of Charles Kingsley's lovely and simple reflection of youth versus old age. One may want to consider utilizing "Tell Me" as the opening selection in a three works presentation for high voices by Jeffrey Kaufman. The second would be "Young and Old" and closing with "Frolic". -
For four part chorus of women's voices a cappella on a poem of Walter Scott. Tuneful, melodic and a challenging contemporary madrigal. Piano for rehearsal only. -
"Frolic" is a lively youthful work for two part high voices. One may want to consider utilizing "Tell Me" as the opening selection in a three works presentation for high voices by Jeffrey Kaufman. The second would be "Young and Old" and closing with "Frolic".
