CWS Choral Design Series
& CWS A Cappella Series
THE LAST ROSE OF SUMMER (SATB)
This traditional Irish poem is brought to new life in this gorgeous and lush arrangement by Connor Warren Smith. Smith's signature contemporary harmony and voicing is blended into a traditional chamber sound for a setting that feels both modern and classic, appealing to a variety of musical-palettes. Beautiful arching phrases, chord colors, and tastefully accessible divisi will make this piece a strong addition to your festival or concert repertoire.
A SONG OF LIFE
Energetic, uplifting, and declarative, this original anthem is an excellent concert opener that reminds the listener to live in joy despite their hardship and circumstance. An explosive contrapuntal bridge section is sure to excite and satisfy. Written for SATB choir, with divisi.
The first piece from SONGS OF OUR PRIDE, a song cycle commissioned by The Quire of Eastern Iowa.
ONE DAY (SATB)
Written for SATB choir, with some accessible 5-part divisi. A great entry point into contemporary a cappella for a traditional choral program as it combines elements of modern a cappella style and contemporary harmonies without treading too far away from a classic "choral" sound. Conservative ranges for voice parts make this piece easily achievable by beginning-intermediate groups, while still providing enough "ear-candy" moments that intermediate-advanced groups will enjoy it.
O Canada (SATB)
Featuring lush and contemporary harmonies, this arrangement is a fresh take on the Canadian national anthem. Arranged for Vocestra Chorus, this version of O Canada features Smith’s signature energizing and modern arranging style paired with interesting harmony choices for a strong and engaging performance.
About the CWS Choral Design Series: Inspired by the sophisticated and challenging catalogs of Lawson-Gould and Walton Music, the CWS Choral Design series is specifically written for advanced and intermediate-advanced choral ensembles in the pursuit of choral excellence. It’s important to me as a composer to write music that is achievable for the age and skill level it’s being written for, while also continuing to push the envelope and provide opportunities for growth. The CWS Choral Design Series seeks to meet right there in the middle by providing challenge, yet remaining ultimately accessible.
About the CWS A Cappella Series: As anyone that knows my career as a performer can tell you, contemporary a cappella has been a pinnacle of my musical background. From my time in Disney’s DCappella, to working with a cappella powerhouses Deke Sharon and Pentatonix’s Ben Bram, to performing in Universal Studio Hollywood’s Whoville 5 and the Hogwarts School Frog Choir, to arranging and performing with REVOICED… contemporary a cappella has been an intrinsic part of my musical career. The CWS A Cappella Series is a collection of my contemporary a cappella arrangements - some designed for traditional choirs wanting to step in to contemporary music, and others specifically intended for 5-8 member vocal groups. Many are designed to be performed with or without vocal percussion, opening up the door for a variety of groups to perform them.
PUBLISHED PIECES
The Star-Spangled Banner - SATB
JW Pepper - 2019 Editor’s Choice
Here's a fresh arrangement of the national anthem that is spot on for contemporary a cappella singers! Combining the traditional with some tighter contemporary harmonies and a clever modulation to accommodate the huge range on the melody, this unique setting is sure to inspire and impress. Make it your standard arrangement to perform at concerts, assemblies, games, and events.
Be Thou My Vision - SATV Divisi
JW Pepper - 2018 Editor’s Choice
A stunning a cappella treatment of the enduring Irish hymn. Shimmering "loos" in clustered harmony yield to a simple statement of the beloved melody, which soon blossoms into decadent choral colors. Expressive tempi and dynamics, coupled with ample divisi, offer both exquisite sounds and artistic challenge.
The Sunrise Will Come - SATB
With a hauntingly beautiful original text, The Sunrise Will Come is the perfect piece to showcase lyrical delivery and phrasing. The song’s minor key paired with the hopeful lyric creates a sense of forward-leaning, satisfied at the close of the piece with a Picardy third. Interesting harmony, satisfying (yet accessible) divisi, a gorgeous a cappella section, and a stunning soprano highlight in the final moments of the piece set it apart, making it an excellent choice for an intermediate-advanced group’s concert or festival selection.
I Hear Love - SATB
This new composition is written as a beautiful reminder of how important love is. A heartfelt message for today’s youth, this new work is perfect for teachable moments during a key developmental time in a young person’s life. Composer Connor Warren Smith has hit the nail on the head, and we know your young musicians will agree.
Deep River - SATB
This rich new setting of Deep River breathes fresh life into the classic spiritual with contemporary harmonies and lush accompaniment. Smith’s signature contemporary sound and voicing compliments the traditional and moving melody with an arrangement that remains both vocally accessible and musically exciting. An excellent addition to your program of spirituals, sacred music, or festival repertoire.

This arrangement of the Hillsong United mega-hit "Oceans" will certainly resound with any fans of the contemporary movement in choral music, while also still challenging the performers.
