Far Over the Misty Mountains Cold is a song sung by Thorin II

Oakenshield and Company in J.R.R. Tolkien's novel The Hobbit. As Tolkien left no title for

the song, "Far Over The Misty Mountains Cold" is sometimes referred to as The Dwarf

Song, Thorin's Song, The Song of The Lonely Mountain, or shortened to simply "The Misty

Mountains". The song explains the backstory of Thorin and Company, and foreshadows the

adventure to come for the group.

Siyahamba (pronounced: SEE-YAH-HAHM-BAH), is a traditional song of the Zulu people,

originating in the KwaZulu province of South Africa. With strong ties to the apartheid

movement, the tune has a resolutely hopeful quality about it. African Marching Song is

straightforward, with persistent ostinatos in the bass line and percussion part providing an

energetic background, propelling the theme forward. Several ‘call and response’ patterns

characteristic of African music are also part of the musical fabric.

Rhythmic clapping and stomping patterns add to the fun of Skip Skip Shoo Fly Shoo. This

lively song by Mary Lynn Lightfoot is based on the American folksongs Skip to My

Lou and Shoo, Fly with the spiritual This Train thrown in for good measure!

How Can I Keep from Singing is an old Quaker hymn dating back to the 1800s in the

United States. References to the persecution of Friends may be heard in the lyrics, yet faith

and courage prevail. This arrangement emphasizes the celebratory and life-affirming

aspects of the song.

Praise His Holy Name is one of Keith Hampton’s most popular gospel arrangements. The

beginning section of the piece is a homophonic declamation in three parts, and the middle

section recalls the lyrics from the familiar tune Amazing Grace. The final section intensifies

by adding different vocal textures and repeating the text multiple times. This song helps

teach complex rhythmic figures with standard articulation and dynamic challenges to the

voice in a fun, gospel-style.

PROGRAM NOTES

From The Peanuts Movie, Better When I’m Dancin’ is a peppy tune by Meghan Trainor

positively defies you to keep still! Obviously, a perfectly irresistible showcase for pop and

show groups to strut their stuff! "Show the world what you can do. Prove to them you've

got the moves. I don't know about you, I feel better when I'm dancing!"

The sound of the winter wind is mournful, then stormy, and finally tranquil in this vivid

tone painting for treble and mixed choirs. The text of The Winds of Winter is so

evocative, and the recurring "wind" theme on Oo in the voices is so effective in creating a

desolate, wintry mood -- this is simply enchanting all the way to the closing icy chord.

Skye Boat Song is a Scottish folk song that lends itself beautifully to the sound of

women's voices, and Greg Gilpin's arrangement will help your women to sing with

expression and dynamics. The piano part is supportive, but also independent as it

develops the feeling of the motion of the ocean's waves. Simple and lovely!

An excellent work for building confidence in young singers, Jubilate! skillfully combines a

rhythmic ostinato with legato singing. After a brief, slower middle section, the work

returns to the original tempo and ends with a forceful unison statement of "Jubilate Deo!"

Set in a minor mode, The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls is another creative piece by Mary

Lynn Lightfoot. Mary Lynn's creative setting of Longfellow's introspective text is replete

with the persistent motion of the tide's ebb and flow. Beautiful imagery and word painting

help to make this piece a unique programming contrast for developing treble and mixed

choirs.
