Wayfarin' Stranger

for SABar and piano In this arrangement, Unterseher offers a modern twist on the popular American folk song. A blues flavour in the accompaniment and a canon in the middle section give the familiar tune fresh appeal. Originally published in SongStream 2: An American Journey, this piece is also available in a version for SA and piano.

The Angel Gabriel

The Angel Gabriel by Michael Higgins for SSSSAATBB unaccompanied. In this haunting arrangement of the well-known carol, Higgins creates a mystical soundscape by layering a single motif in a four-part Soprano canon. These repetitions echo throughout and support the various textures explored in each verse, producing a dramatic and atmospheric setting of the Basque carol. Suitable for chamber and concert choir.
