A Young Man's Lament
Composer: Nick Strimple
Author/Lyricist: Paiute Indian, translated by Mary Austin
Voicing: SATB
Released: January 2022
Difficulty: Advanced
Listen
The Paiute Indian words are a cry of pain and loss that would be true for any father who lost his son. But the Indian imagery brings us outside and touches us inside. Strimple's musical writing is not multicultural but contemporary and incorporates modern western harmonies. This makes sense when you realize Dr. Strimple's tribute is to honor his teacher and friend, Robert H. Young. It is a touching musical and textual statement. Difficult.

Waniska

Author/Lyricist: Brian Tate
Voicing: SATB
Released: January 2017
Difficulty: Medium Easy
Listen
The Cree Indians from the North American continent have a delightful morning song that has been artfully arranged by Brian Tate. Beginning with bird sounds the melody line is first presented by the sopranos. A pedal point is set by the tenors and basses as the altos take their turn with the tune. As with so many Tate arrangements, staging is easily a part of the presentation, as the simple lines cross and lift one another. Some suggestions are provided but each group will find their own path. Wonderful for high school, community choir and college. Easy to medium in difficulty.
