I'm pleased to share that several titles from the Texas choral PML that have been POP are now again available. They are all available from Sheet Music Direct and J.W. Pepper. I have put links to each in the descriptions below.

Here is a complete list of Crocker PML titles as of 2023-2024 for your reference.

These next two titles were originally published as a set entitled "Two Songs of Longing." Now available as single titles.


Ah, Dear Heart - Treble Gr. 3

SSA a cappella
by Emily Crocker

The expressive music of this unaccompanied piece for treble voices matches the John Donne text perfectly, with gentle longing and regret, but yet with a glimmer of hope. Part of a set of two works, the other is "Longing," with a text by Matthew Arnold, available separately.

Available at Sheet Music Direct or J.W. Pepper


Longing - Treble Gr. 3

SSA a cappella
by Emily Crocker

The second song in a set of two, "Two Songs of Longing," this setting of a wistful text by Matthew Arnold offers rich expressiveness while being accessible to treble singers in high school and up. An excellent choice for contest and festival programming. The other selection, available separately, is "Ah, Dear Heart," with a text by John Donne.

Teach Me, O Lord - Gr. 3 Treble

SSA and piano or organ
Thomas Attwood, arr. Emily Crocker

Touching in the simplicity of its expressive phrases, this arrangement of the English composer Thomas Attwood (1765-1838) may be performed with or without piano. The text is based on Psalm 119:33.

Available at Sheet Music Direct or J.W. Pepper


Canticle - Mixed Gr. 5

SATB a cappella
by Emily Crocker

Simple and straight-forward, this setting of a text from The Christian Harmony expresses love of God in nature: Through all this world below, God we see, all around. Elegant and expressive, this a cappella work is ideal for mixed choirs high school and above. This edition is newly engraved, updated, with a new recording.

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...
