I Will Sing (SSA) - Michael Engelhardt

The poetry of Eugene Field is captured beautifully in this composition by Ryan Murphy. The words of the lullaby speak both to a child falling asleep and to a child who "does not hear his mother's song." The lilting triple meter and the movement of the piano accompaniment imitate rocking. Add the optional strings for a lush effect. Andrew Crane Choral Series.

A Lullaby by Ryan Murphy

This refreshing work from Ola Gjeilo employs a folk-like sound to capture Yeats' wonderfully descriptive words about the Lake Isle of Innisfree. The movement in the piano, the strumming of the guitar, and the richness of the strings work together with the voices to create the imagery of a long and pleasant journey.

The Lake Isle by Ola Gjeilo

Jenny Jenkins arr. John Wykoff

I heard the dream from my silent sleep-
heard the bells ringing in the sun's splendor,
the skies singing in divine beauty,
and even the darkness was smiling from afar.

Now the night has pulled me away.
I walk in the faded shadows,
Humming the song of darkness and light
And searching for the dream, for you.

(Ernst Enno 1875-1934; English translation by Katie Kring)

Valgusele (To Light) by Pärt Uusberg

Somewhere the original harmony must exist,
hidden somewhere in the vast wilds.
In Earth's mighty firmament,
in the far reaches of swirling galaxies,
in sunshine,
in a little flower, in the song of a forest,
in the music of a mother's voice,
or in teardrops-
somewhere, immortality endures,
and the original harmony will be found.
How else could it have formed 
in human hearts-
music?
(Juhan Liiv 1864-1913; English translation by Katie Kring)

Walton Music was established in 1950 by Norman Luboff as a publishing house for Luboff's choral arrangements and compositions. Today, Walton serves the choral community by publishing works by noted composers such as Eric Whitacre and Ola Gjeilo, and promoting both new composition and the preservation of classics such as Vivaldi's Gloria. Editions in the Walton catalog number in the thousands.

Gunilla Luboff (spouse of the late Norman Luboff) worked for many years as the owner and editor of Walton Music. During Gunilla's tenure, she maintained and expanded the Walton catalog, helping it to become one of the leading choral catalogs in the United States and a well-respected catalog across the world. Originally from Sweden, Gunilla helped to establish Walton as a champion of Scandinavian choral music, making Scandinavian works more readily available in the United States.

In October 2013, the Walton catalog was acquired by GIA Publications, a publisher located in Chicago, Illinois, with a history of over 70 years.
