SECULAR CHORAL MUSIC

NEW! Ancient Inn (The)
- SATB, piano, violin & opt. chamber orchestra
- based on a text by Gilbert Keith Chesterson, this is a perfect piece for your Christmas or Winter program
- commissioned in 2017 by the Idaho Commission Consortium
Be Near Me Love
- SATB a cappella
Donkey Riding (Cypress Music)
- Imagine hauling timber out of the bush back in the 1930's. The steam donkey was often used to do the heavy lifting - loading trains. This is a classic Canadian folksong which has been brought to life with this spirited arrangement.
Flanders Fields (Alfred Music)
- This distinguished setting of the McCrae text was originally published for mixed choirs soon after being named the first winner of the ACDA Brock Memorial composition contest. Aitken’s new women’s and men’s voicings are just as inspiring as the original.

Fresca Rosa Novella (MyScore @ J.W.Pepper)

Let Us Have Peace (MyScore @ J.W.Pepper)
- SATB, piano, violin & cello
- Commission by the Mid-Columbia Mastersingers
She's Like the Swallow
- 2 part
Then and Now (Alfred Music)
- Perhaps best known for his setting of "In Flanders Fields," Paul's graceful melody unites with McCrae's beautiful poetry in this exquisite reflection of time gone by. A top-notch concert and contest choice.
Under Eternal Sky
- SATB & piano (or concert band)
- commissioned by the State of Idaho for the re-dedication of the State Capitol Building
