Let Nature Sing  New!
Here is the fifth volume in a series of solo songs for young singers from BriLee Music. It contains a wide variety of songs, from spirituals and folksongs to originally composed works. Selected with the treble voice in mind, songs with narrow ranges of six and seven notes progress to songs that expand the range as the voice develops. The nature of the selections is to challenge the voice, not to tax it; to develop its expressive capabilities, not to overextend them.

Songs by Ruth Elaine Schram include: "The Song that Nature Sings" and "Oh Shenandoah." The book/CD combination includes beautifully recorded demos as well as the accompaniment tracks.

Together We Can Change the World  New!
"Together, We Can Change the World" (Songs for a Better Planet) is breaking new ground - all of the scores and resources are provided as data files on the CDrom, making this collection 100% reproducible. In addition, the folder in which the CD is encased is printed on 100% post-consumer recycled material.

Whether you need unison choral pieces, a resource to introduce your students to part-singing, or a full-scale musical complete with narrations and supporting materials, these enriching songs fit the bill. The optional use of partner songs and simple two-part harmony subtly underscores the themes of cooperation and community building that run throughout this collection. Beginning with songs that encourage friendship and acceptance, the collection progresses to songs that introduce "green" themes of reducing waste, recycling, and working together to cherish and protect our natural resources. Narrations are included to give additional information and introduce each song, and delightfully orchestrated Accompaniment tracks (by Tim Hayden) are included.
