Hail Mary		First, setting a more modern and poetic translation of the Ave Maria followed by a traditional setting of this text, this is music for advanced choirs. We have come to expect Mr. Cutter’s music to be transparent and sensitive and this does not disappoint.
Siman Tov (A Good Sign)		This Jewish folk melody is from the late 19th centruy. The text expresses well wishes and is often performed at life cycle moments like birth, bar Mitzvot, and weddings. Here, the arranger captures the hope that accompanies these pivotal life moments. Also perfect for graduations.
Unter Dayne Vayse Shtern (Under the White Stars)		From the Lithuanian “Ghetto” established by the Nazis during the second World War, this beautiful melody by Avrom Brudno is arranged with the quiet intensity the song requires. A flowing and soaring piano accompaniment moves the music to awesome heights, and the Yiddish language has an accompanying pronunciation guide, making it easy for the singers to interpret.
Haul Away, Joe!		From the mid-nineteenth century, sea shanties have been prevalent in literature for male choruses. They were the music of sailors, sung as they worked to help lighten their heavy work and to relieve the repetitive boredome of heaving, pushing and turning. Bill Cutter gives us a brief arrangement, perfect for an encore or program closer. Try it with high school, college/university or community male choruses.
To Be Alive		This tender ballad is full of love. With a text uncovered in the Jewish Museum of Prague set beautifully by Bill Cutter, this is a celebration of life and “to be alive.”
Out of the Stars		A lovely two-part canon suitable for young voices or a high school treble chorus.
I Celebrate Myself		Here is the closing piece from the 5 work project May You Heal. This project offers music of comfort, peace, renewal and self-awareness. Here, the Whitman poem explores the human connection. The music is joyful and a wonderful way to close the much needed song cycle.
