CHANGED FOREVER

A beautiful song by
legendary Canadian singer, songwriter, film composer Shari Ulrich; this a cappella
arrangement is for 3-part women’s choir, and was premiered by the
world-renowned Elektra
Women’s Choir at their April 2010 concert, "Canadian Voices".
“Changed Forever” has since gone international, with women's choirs
from the States being the first to order this piece.

WHEN YOU GO

Brooklyn-based performing
songwriter Jonathan
Coulton was kind enough to give Kate not only his blessing, but
also his masters from a recording session, to create a transcription of
his song, "When You Go". She stayed as true to his performance as
possible - aside from changing the key so that it could be sung by a
mixed choir - but if you have a high school or adult group ready for a
challenge, they will enjoy learning this a cappella love song.

SOLDIER

This is an atmospheric
choral setting of the text from one of the popular war songs of 1915,
“I Didn’t Raise My Boy to Be a Soldier,” by lyricist Alfred Bryan and
composer Al Piantadosi. This a cappella piece features a soloist and is
best-suited to large choirs or very confident smaller groups, and you
must have singers in the baritone range.

CARSON BASKETBALL
 |
|
In the fall of 2007, two
of Kate's grade 8 students wrote lyrics about playing basketball for a
songwriting assignment. Kate morphed their work into one song which she
and husband, Elliot, then set to music. The end result is "Carson
Basketball", and this one-minute song is played at home games to
introduce the boys' basketball team. Go Eagles!!!
Lyrics: Daniel S. and Chad C., grads of 2012
Lyrics performed by: Desmon Pack, grad of 2008
Arrangement: Kate Polsky
