SOLSTICE SONG Music and Lyrics by Jan Garrett SOLSTICE SONG WINTER WONDERLAND Music and lyrics by Jan Garrett Music by Felix Bernard Arranged by Larry Nickel Lyrics by Richard Bernhard Smith Windy City Treble Quire and Gay Chorus Arranged by Christina Wilson (Chicago IL) VOX Femina (Los Angeles CA) Deep in the darkest winter night, Sleigh bells ring, are you listening, Here with my candle burning. In the lane, snow is glistening Cozy and warm inside the light, A beautiful sight, Now that the year is turning. We're happy tonight, Walking in a winter wonderland. What does the future hold in store? Where has our journey brought us? Gone away is the bluebird, How can we learn from what's gone before? Here to stay is a new bird, What has experience taught us? He sings a love song, As we go along, Heart of Creation Walking in a winter wonderland. Lover of shadow and light. Walking in a winter wonderland, Sing us the songs of a billion stars Walking in a winter wonderland. Silently all thru' the night. Friendship will light the darkest hours True love will hold the vision. Peace and goodwill on earth is ours, Let it be our decision. Heart of Creation Lover of shadow and light. Sing us the songs of a billion stars Silently all thru' the night. Deep in the darkest winter night, Here with my candle burning. Cozy and warm inside the light, Now that the year is turning. Feel how the year is turning. 1 OCHO KANDELIKAS (Eight Little English Translation Candles) Music and lyrics by Flory Jagoda Beautiful Chanukah is now here Arranged by Bill Bowersock And eight candles for me appear.

Then there’s sun bears and sloth bears and I think I know who I want for Christmas. pandas with molars, You’ll be nice and I’ll be naughty, we’ll But do you recall both get what we want. The most festive bear of them all? At the top of my wishlist you’ll see, you’ll see… Silver bears, silver bears! It’s Christmastime, and they’re pretty. Silver bears, silver bears! Hair of gray makes me say: It’s Christmastime, and they’re pretty. “I can’t wait till Christmas Day.” See them prance, Watch them dance, On the sidewalks, older men walk, dressed Helping to make Christmas gay! in bright red and white. Helping to make Christmas gay! My new man-crush is named Father Christmas. Bearded daddies, silver foxes, hot and hairy and gray And on ev’ry street corner you see… Silver bears, silver bears!

Helping to make Christmas gay! 3 STRONGER Music and lyrics by Ruth Huber Rainbow Women’s Chorus (San Jose CA)) We’re in uncharted waters One thing is for certain; Wond’ring what the future holds We need some changes made Will this world ever be the same? One thing is for certain; They say we’re all in this together There’ll be some changes made. But some are all alone, And the news gets more alarming ev’ry day. As we come out of this And the lights are going out for the elders Stronger, wiser, bolder, kinder, and the poor Standing together, our voices raised! Though our heroes risk their lives to heal We’re coming out of this and save… Stronger, wiser, bolder, kinder, One thing is for certain: One thing is for certain: There’ll be some changes made We need some changes made When we stand, and sing together, once One thing is for certain; again! We’ll need some changes made When we come out of this Stronger, wiser, bolder, kinder, Standing together, our voices raised! Yes, we’ll come out of this Stronger, wiser, bolder, kinder, One thing is for certain: There’ll be some changes made. So we’re cleaning out our closets Calling family and friends From the shelter of our gardens and our homes. And the skies are growing clearer As traffic leaves the roads, And the wildlife venture out to say hello. But we’re list’ning to the voices of the hungry and the cold And the thousands overworked and underpaid… 4 SUPER GAY CHRISTMAS Music and lyrics by Kevin Yee Seattle Men’s Chorus (Seattle WA) We’ve been waiting all year for this, Oh, I hope you have a super gay Christmas.

  • Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance
    Lyric Provinces in the English Renaissance Harold Toliver LYRIC PROVINCES IN THE ENGLISH RENAISSANCE Harold Toliver Poets are by no means alone in being pre­ pared to see new places in settled ways and to describe them in received images. Outer regions will be assimilated into dynasties, never mind the hostility of the natives. The ancient wilderness of the Mediterranean and certain biblical expectations of what burning bushes, gods, and shepherds shall exist every­ where encroach upon the deserts of Utah and California. Those who travel there see them and other new landscapes in terms of old myths of place and descriptive topoi; and their descriptions take on the structure, to­ nality, and nomenclature of the past, their language as much recollection as greeting. In Professor Toliver's view, the concern of the literary historian is with, in part, that ever renewed past as it is introduced under the new conditions that poets confront, and is, therefore, with the parallel movement of liter­ ary and social history. Literature, he reminds us, is inseparable from the rest of discourse (as the study of signs in the past decade has made clearer), but is, nevertheless, distinct from social history in that poets look less to common discourse for their models than to specific literary predecessors. Careful observ­ ers of place, they seek to bring what is distinct and valuable in it within some sort of verbal compass and relationship with the speaker. They bring with them, however, formulas and tf > w if a loyalty to a cultural heritage that both com­ plicate and confound the lyric address to place.

  • The Life Triumphant: Mastering the Heart and Mind by James Allen
    The Life Triumphant: Mastering the heart and mind By James Allen Contents 1. Foreword 2. Faith and Courage 3. Manliness, Womanliness and Sincerity 4. Energy and Power 5. Self-Control and Happiness 6. Simplicity and Freedom 7. Eight Thinking and Repose 8. Calmness and Resource 9. Insight and Nobility 10. Man the Master 11. Knowledge and Victory Foreword EVERY BEING LIVES in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and it rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the faraway, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it is supremely possible, and very near and real. Man remains a craving, weeping, sinning, repenting creature just so long as he wills to do so by clinging to those weak conditions. But when he wills to shake off his dark dreams and to rise, he arises and achieves. James Allen Hail to Thee, Man divine! the conqueror Of sin and shame and sorrow; no more weak, Wormlike, and groveling art thou; no, nor Wilt thou again bow down to things that weak Scourgings and death upon thee; thou dost rise Triumphant in thy strength; good, pure and wise.

  • Christmas Carol Lyrics
    1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT A HOLIDAY SING ALONG! Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, Santa Claus is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot.

  • Copyright Matters
    Copyright Matters The copyright clearance statement is included on the competition entry form. By completing and submitting the entry form, the quartet or the president/ team leader, on behalf of the chorus, is stating that to the best of their knowledge the arrangements the group is performing are legal arrangements; either they have been cleared through the copyright process, are original works, or are songs in the public domain. Generally, when you purchase music you can assume that appropriate permissions have been obtained. However, if you are not certain, it is acceptable to ask the music provider to verify that the arrangement has cleared the copyright approval process. Please be aware that lyrics, like the music itself, are copyright protected. Legal issues typically occur only when a performer makes musical or lyrical changes to a published arrangement without permission. Altering a few words to personalize the song for the performer is usually permissible; however, if the lyrical changes involve a parody, with very few exceptions a performer must obtain permission from the copyright holder to make such changes. Parody lyrics are defined by Jay Althouse in his book, Copyright: The Complete Guide for Music Educators, as follows: “Parody lyrics are lyrics which replace the original lyrics of a vocal work or are added to an instrumental work. In general, any parody lyric or the revision of a lyric that changes the integrity (character) of the work requires authorization from the copyright owner.” Copyright holders have the right to say “no” to any particular arrangement of their music, and they exercise that right frequently when it comes to parodies.

ALl TO FLOOD TO MARSHALL: THE MOST TRIUMPHANT OF WORDS ALFRED DENNIS MATHEWSON* I am honored to participate in this commentary on the Curt Flood Act of 1998.1 I shall not, however, provide a detailed analysis of its pro- visions. Instead I Will reflect upon my reactions to the Act. To be hon- est, I am disappointed. Negotiated by the Major League owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association through collective bargain- ing and modified by Congress, the Act is certain to become a staple of legislative drafting courses for decades. As others in this commentary may have stated, it is as notable for what it purports to do as for what Congress purports it does not do. The Act confers standing on major league baseball players to sue under the antitrust laws, does not other- wise change the extent to which the business of baseball is exempt from the antitrust laws, whatever it or its source may be, and declines to con- fer such standing on minor league baseball players even though they may have this 'standing' anyway.
