Children's Choir


Kristy Brumfield, Children's R&R Chair

Who Can Sail? 
Two-part 
Arr. Carl-Bertil Agnestig
Walton Music Corporation 

This beautiful piece, based on a Finnish folk song,  provides opportunities for expressive unison singing before breaking into a canonic section that is helpful for teaching beginning harmonic singing. Its slow tempo and minor key setting make it a wonderful piece for contrast between lighter pieces in your concerts. 


Elijah Rock! 
Two-Part
arr. Roger Emerson 
Hal Leonard Publishing 

The same Elijah Rock! that has been a staple for junior high and middle school choirs is now available in two-part for your elementary choirs.  Emerson’s infectious harmonies and driving accompaniment make this piece a winner with singers and audiences alike. Your choir will ask to sing this again and again.  


Shine on Me
Two-Part
Rollo Dillworth 
Hal Leonard Publishing

This bluesy, gospel piece is sure to please! It’s set in a fun 9/8 swing, with a partner song treatment making the harmonies simple to teach.  Rhythms are challenging but accessible.  It is suitable for both church and school choirs. A definite winner! 


Sing on Sight
Audrey Snyder
Hal Leonard Publishing 

This book series is perfect for beginning sight readers.  There is an accompaniment CD included with fun background music for the rhythmic and melodic exercises. The lessons are great for warm-up exercises as well as fun rehearsal breaks.
