Looking for a new spiritual to end your Spring concert? Or perhaps on the hunt for a foreign language song for both your younger and older choirs? We’ve got you covered! The titles within each section are listed by voicing, with the newest songs listed � rst.

This means that it may not work in your car, but it will work in any computer that you use. We’ve included disc icons throughout this resource to help you navigate the MP3 CD.

You can also skip the CD altogether and stream audio of the new releases on YouTube or SoundCloud! Just search “Heritage Music Press” and let your computer, phone, or tablet do the work for you.

SELECT ADVANCED CONCERT REPERTOIREPrayerRené ClausenCommissioned by the Yale Alumni Chorus Foundation and their director Je� rey Douma, this passionate setting of a Mother Teresa prayer has garnered praise from college and professional choirs across the country. Performances by Kantorei and the Minnesota ACDA Director’s Chorus have helped to establish Clausen’s setting as a new concert standard.


O Magnum MysteriumRené ClausenSet in a full, eight-part divisi, a cappella rendition, this lush and expressive piece by René Clausen will leave listeners with chills. With all voices beginning on a unison middle C and expanding polyphonically to a homophonic forte for the words “Magnum” (“Great”) and then gradually moving back to a “pianissimo” for “Mysterium” (“Mystery”), this setting of the familiar Latin text is sure to become a standard next to those by Byrd and Lauridsen.

15/2723R SATB divisi a cappella ........................... $2.10

The TygerRené ClausenRhythmic, energetic, animated, and passionate are words that characterize René Clausen’s setting of this familiar William Blake poem. Pair it with “The Lamb” for a powerful concert set.


The LambRené ClausenWilliam Blake text explores the full range of dynamics and emotions.

Pair this with “The Tyger” to make a concert set.


Pater NosterTim SarsanyIn the ordinary of the Mass, the “Pater Noster” (“Our Father”) is most often spoken, but when sung, it is chanted. In this setting, the composer has chosen to use a more melodic approach to the text, yet the piece still retains some of the chanting e� ect. Syllabic stress of the text guides the meter and rhythm.

This work is one of three Appalachian texts set by the composer and may be sung in combination with “Jubilee” and “Go Dig My Grave” to form a set.

This original folk song tells the story of young Johnny, who is quite popular in the eyes of the young women in his town, but seems immune to their charms or wishes…he just can’t seem to commit! As the piece unfolds, the young women lament their frustrations about Johnny, creating a humorous tale told through gossip!
