CHORAL
Where is the Light - Alun Cook
3 Part Choir and Piano

A song of lost love! Suitable for male or female young voices - intended for teenage choirs. Ideally needs a sandpaper block backing (quaver pulse) - not hi-hat or shakers - needs to be entirley accent-free - use stops at appropriate moments. I'll do a part if anyone requests one.

CAROLS
Two Thousand Years - Alun Cook

A carol with a message - very plain and simple at the start but with a point to make. Originally intended for young voices, but would adapt well to having adult voices, especially joining in the verse (bar 19). The choir 2 part (3rd time bar) is optional but desirable.

A Christmas Message - (for young voices) - Alun Cook

Written for a Carol Festival in 1995 where it was performed by combined choirs from five local primary schools with (accompanied by the West Kent Wind Band), and has since been adapted to be suitable for older voices. It choir parts split into 3 lines in the verses, and these are not difficult to get together. The chorus is in harmony (mostly 2 part) but this is harder to do and the harmonies may be ignored if need be.
