Perfect for graduation, a special tribute to parents or as an inspiration concert closer, The Best of You in Me is an outstanding choice for choirs of all ages. “Is that your smile in the mirror, your voice in every song I sing, in every little thing I see the best of you in me.”
From the Off-Broadway show “Altar Boyz,†I Believe is an inspiring ballad with all the positive energy and powerful lift you could ever want as a show closer or graduation feature. An outstanding showcase for your best soloists!
Love Has Always Been Our Song was written for Tim Seelig in celebration of his 20 years as artistic director of the Turtle Creek Chorale. This inspirational ballad’s lyrics capture the many different musical moments that choral singers, teachers, directors, and listeners have experienced in the genre. “Love has always been our song. Love has always been the reason we sing.”
Saluting the spirit of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, Sarah McLachlan‘s ballad One Dream is inspired by the athletes of the world as they strive to reach their Olympic goals. “You’ve spent a lifetime working for this moment, and you are shining, You’re all that you wanted to be.” A fantastic concert feature, especially for graduation!
Based on a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the powerful concert piece Rest Not! expresses words of encouragement for those who seek their dreams, and optimistic for those who work without rest for positive change in the world.
The theme from the TV series “The Golden Girls” Thank You for Being a Friend roars to new life due to the recent Betty White fan craze and is now available for your choir to sing and enjoy! Bright, happy, and a perfect song for celebrating friendship! “Your heart is true, you’re a pal and a confidant.”
