Emily Crocker Music

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. 3-Part Mixed and Piano:  More info/purchase 2-Part and piano:  More info/purchase 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 e

  I'm pleased to announced that "Two Songs of Longing" for SSA a cappella, including "Ah, Dear Heart" with a text by John Donne and "Longing" with a text by Matthew Arnold are now both available as digital singles. These pieces, both on Grade 3 of the PML have been popular choices, but the octavo is out of print and the music is somewhat difficult to obtain, unless you have the old Essential Repertoire anthologies from the 1990s. Each title has been newly engraved and I have created a video score for those who are unfamiliar with the pieces. Interesting backstory...I was prompted to republish these pieces by an email I recently received from a young woman from France, now studying to become a doctor, who had been an exchange student in Texas. She sang in choir and had great memories of her experience. She writes: "I was an exchange student in a little city of Texas in 2011.  Back then I was part of a full-female choir : it was an amazing experienc

 Music for Tenor Bass Choirs If you take your choirs to UIL or another contest/festival event in the spring, you might be looking for music to build on your successes and take you through to the end of the term. I've been working on several classic pop titles that might suit your middle and high school Tenor Bass choirs. These titles are available digitally on Sheet Music Direct  and Sheet Music Plus  and I think you'll find they are easy to learn and easy to sing - audience favorites, too. Also, I'm making the accompaniment tracks available for free, see the link below. You can't beat that! I should also give a shout-out to  ArrangeMe.com  who makes these titles available for arranging. Check out their awesome site!  THAT LONESOME ROAD James Taylor's plaintive classic ballad is an ideal selection for developing or smaller Tenor Bass choirs. It can be sung a cappella or with the optional piano accompaniment. Purchase digital octavo Download audio ALL THIS JOY Years
