For the past 25 years, BriLee Music has been a leader in choral publishing. Conductor, educator, and clinician Brian Busch founded the company in August of 1996, with the first products launching in early 1997. Brian drew upon the combination of his name with that of his wife, Lee, for inspiration when naming the company.

In 2007, Brian passed away after a battle with cancer. We are forever grateful to him for his ingenuity and dedication to creating wonderful choral music, and are honored to uphold his mission in serving the choral community. Looking into the future, we are expanding our vision for what publishing can be, working to better suit the lifestyle of the modern musician while continuing to put forth repertoire of the highest quality.

As we wrap up 2022, we also want to thank educators for their dedication and support, without which we couldn’t be where we are today. To learn more about our story, visit https://www.brileemusic.com/about

BREAK AWAY (for SATB Choir and Piano) by Dan Locklair

Enjoy this new score video of BREAK AWAY!, a Presser choral classic composed by Dan Locklair. This breakaway hit for SATB choir and piano was the result of a 1983 commission from Theodore Presser and Ithaca College for the college’s annual Choral Festival. This commission, Ithaca’s fifth, was notably different from previous commissions from Vincent Persichetti, Samuel Adler, Karel Husa and William Schuman in that it also involved commissioning a new text from American lyricist Alicia Carpenter. While following along, listen for Carpenter's crisp and vibrant words and Locklair's contrast of pentatonic and pandiatonic musical material over five sections.

Spelman College Glee Club - "Children, Go Where I Send Thee"

The African American Spiritual “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” was made popular by the Golden Gate Quartet in the 1930s. Willie T. Johnson, the lead singer of the group, is the father of Dr. Kevin Phillip Johnson, the arranger of this version and one of the newest composers to join the Carl Fischer family with his Soulful Singing Series. The composer, like his father, uses rhythm in exciting new ways to deliver spirituals to contemporary audiences, and this uptempo arrangement includes djembe, shaker, and bass guitar parts, in addition to piano accompaniment, as well as an optional rap section, making it guaranteed to invigorate any holiday concert!

Check out this video of the Spelman College Glee Club performing the piece at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sMT69Adeog featuring Dr. Johnson on the djembe.

Stroope takes the traditional tarantella dance out of the Dark Ages, synthesizing the Medieval Italian traditional dance with the poetry of Christopher Smart to get a frenetic, rhythmic, and challenging piece that will thrill audiences at any concert/festival performance.

Kyle Pederson's "Stars" was born out of a life-long fascination with the night sky, and the text is a meditation on the interconnectedness of creation. Since we are the “stuff of stars,” where will we cast our own light? Whose world will we impact? This piece seeks to evoke the vastness and mystery of space through dense harmonies, simultaneously capturing the intimacy of connection. Now available for advanced SSAA Choirs (CM9722) and SATB Voices (CM9609).

Have you used https://EasyVirtualChoir.com? Super easy, and it is FREE! The software aligns audio/video tracks automatically and will save you lots of editing time. Many users say EVC recreates a live choir experience for singers. It allows each singer to follow the conducting/reference video and peer sound tracks to sing along with. Choir director can evaluate/adjust individual recordings before exporting the final production video. The software has also been widely used for virtual rehearsals by which the choir director can quickly evaluate each singer and provide timely feedback. No need to send files around, everything is done within the app. After everyone finishes singing, the choir video can be created in just a few minutes. The entire process is so intuitive, simple and fast for both choir director and singers, that most k-12 school music teachers have got a video created after just one class period. Hope this free service will be helpful to your choir too!
Virtual Video Idea! - Make your band the soundtrack to a video featuring pictures of these inspirational landscapes. Students can research facts, quotes, or other art inspired by these sites to feature too.
