Irving Berlin's much-recorded song from 1926 takes a sultry and sophisticated turn with this dynamic jazzy arrangement that includes optional rhythm flugelhorn and flute. The song is a symbol of cheer of being in love. Blue days all of them gone. Nothing but blue skies from now on. An American Songbook treasure.

Uses: Christ the Good Shepherd General Scripture: Psalm 23 Here's a joyful change of pace from other more subdued settings of the 23rd Psalm. A free flowing opening moment moves into a rustic dance idiom that brings life and unbounded joy to these hopeful words. Very approachable part-writing keeps this singular offering light and musically pleasing and the folk consort is filled with colorful sounds to lift this choral song into a one of a kind anthem.

BandQuest-Inspired by the ever-popular snack Pop! is a grade 3 band piece by composer Tawnie Olson that imitates the sounds popping popcorn beginning with that first single kernel to the exploding sounds of an overflowing pot. Through the use of imitation additive processes playful articulation and the development of tune fragments Olson crafted a piece that is relatable and great fun to play. Pop! also has an aleatoric passage that gives young performers the opportunity to co-compose by improvising sounds that suggest of pop of popcorn in the making. BandQuest« an exciting series of new music and accompanying curricula for band is a program published by the American Composers Forum.The series was started as a response to feedback from music educators that there is a pressing need for new fresh band music. The heart of this program is new works written by a diverse group of leading American composers who have created challenging pieces that are a true departure from standard middle school repertoire. Every BandQuest project includes a residency component in which the composer works collaboratively with a middle school as they create their new piece. Many BandQuest pieces are accompanied by an interdisciplinary curriculum designed to assist students as they learn the music and to integrate each piece with non-music studies.
