From the very first measure, Awaken grabs your attention. Sherry Blevins masterfully brings to life one of the most pressing issues of our time—our dependence on devices and the way it pulls us away from true connection. The opening is filled with intensity, even including knocking sounds as “wake-up calls,” and creative staging options with illuminated devices that immediately engage both singers and audiences.

But Sherry doesn’t leave us in the dark. In classic fashion, she guides us toward hope. The second half of the piece soars with solutions—celebrating nature, rediscovering passion, and finding joy in human connection. It all builds to a stirring and unforgettable message: “make a difference and share the light in you.” 🌟

Imagine a journey from the depths of the earth to the heights of triumph and joy. A Bronze Triptych tells this powerful story through music and poetry, brought to life by composer Dan Forrest and poet Charles Anthony Silvestri.

The text traces the life of a bronze bell: copper and tin mined from the earth, forged into weapons of war, melted down, and recast into a bell to toll for vespers—eventually ringing out in victory and peace. This profound transformation from war to peace is beautifully mirrored in the lush four-hand piano accompaniment, enhanced by optional handbells and percussion, which vividly paint metallic sounds and bell imagery.

Commissioned to celebrate a university whose symbol was a bell, this work resonates far beyond its origin. It serves as a metaphor for turning conflict into harmony. Its themes of transformation and hope make it perfect for patriotic events, Earth Day, World Peace Day, and other meaningful occasions.

🌟 Experience the triumph of peace and the beauty of transformation with A Bronze Triptych. Bring this extraordinary piece to life with your choir and let its message echo far and wide!

𝗖𝗮𝗽𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗛𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘆 𝗟𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 “𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗱𝗲 (𝗝𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘆𝗲’𝘀 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗼𝗹)” ✨🎄
As the festive season draws near, there's a truly magical carol that beautifully encapsulates the spirit of Christmas: “This Christmastide (Jessye’s Carol).” Originally composed in 1984 by Jane McCulloch and Donald Fraser as a heartfelt gift for legendary soprano Jessye Norman, the carol has grown into a beloved seasonal classic.

With its vivid imagery of “green and silver, red and gold”—holly, ivy, mistletoe, and gently falling snow—and that memorable refrain, “Truth and love and hope abide this Christmastide,” this piece is both luminous and deeply resonant.

Arranged for treble voices with keyboard accompaniment, but also available in SATB, SSA, and instrumental formats, it’s adaptable for a variety of ensembles—sacred or secular, large or small.

Whether you're planning a community concert, school recital, or intimate holiday singing, this timeless carol promises to bring warmth, elegance, and heartfelt meaning to your performance.

"This Christmastide (Jessye's Carol)" is a beloved Christmas carol that embodies the traditional beauty of the season with its gentle, melodic, and timeless quality. Written by Jane
