Emily Crocker Music - New 2023 Titles from Hal Leonard

I know lots of you like to plan your concerts over the summer so I hope these new choral works will be of interest. Thanks to the editors, producers, musicians and others who have brought these pieces into physical and digital form! 

All print, digital and audio are now available. For these and other titles, visit Emily Crocker Music

J'ai vu le loup

This fast-paced French folk song dates back to the medieval era. Many versions of the song exist, and they all feature animals imitating humans by dancing, laughing, and singing. Similar to J'entends le moulin, the persistent rhythm and engaging vocal lines make this an ideal choice for developing diction, precision, and tone in younger singers while exposing them to the French language.

Fire and Ice

This poem by Robert Frost reflects on the end of the world, musing whether it might be consumed in fire or ice, and comparing the two elements with the emotions of desire and hate. The composer's music vividly captures the contrast of these elements and allows the singers to dramatically portray that struggle.

Gatatumba

This villancico is a traditional Spanish holiday song. The festive and happy tune has a memorable melody, and this delightful arrangement brings a simple harmony part that is ideal for beginning harmony singers. There are suggested rhythm patterns included for various percussion instruments or body percussion that your students will enjoy adding.

Emily Crocker - New Choral Music for 2024

Image
Thank you for visiting this page. In terms of composing and arranging, I’ve had an interesting and rewarding year. Perhaps I have finally acclimated to this stage of life, post-9-to-5 and post choir directing, or maybe I’ve just allowed myself to explore what was always waiting for me. My WHAT'S NEW  page lists everything that is new so feel free to poke about there, but I thought I would put down some thoughts regarding the new directions you may see among these new releases. HAL LEONARD After spending 28 years at the Mother Ship in Milwaukee, I wanted to start with my new Hal Leonard titles. We’re all super excited that Hal Leonard  and Musescore  have joined together for even more distribution opportunities. If you are a Musescore subscriber (and you should be), you’ll already find these titles published there officially and legally for downloading, printing and sharing. These are also available through your favorite traditional retailers as well.  Au Pas, Camarad...

Music for Tenor Bass Choirs

  I'm pleased to introduce a couple of pieces for Tenor Bass ensembles - one is for changing voice choirs at the middle school level and the other is for high school groups.  I know there are lots of different paths for instruction in the fall of 2020, but whether you are physically together and socially distant or if you are working in a virtual environment, I hope you will consider these pieces for TB and TBB singers.  Both selections are available in print and digital editions also with demo and accompaniment audio downloads. Cantate! also has Part Predominant tracks available for audio download providing excellent rehearsal tools for in-person or distance learning. Young men like to be challenged and I hope these pieces will fit their voices and provide a creative challenge that will enliven the learning going on in your classrooms! If you have questions, you can contact me via comments below. Caliban's Dream - for TBB and piano I'm happy to announce that this piece w...
