I just heard the piece October, by Eric Whitacre, and oh my God was it great. I love that piece so much. That's all I wanted to say.

12 Seconds to the Moon- Robert W. Smith

To the Summit- Robert W. Smith

basically all of Robert W. Smith's stuff, he's my favorite composer

On One Shining Star (I think that's the title) I have no idea who the composer is

Shenandoah- Frank Ticheli

Amazing Grace- Frank Ticheli

A Movement for Rosa- Mark Camphouse

that's all for now

To Tame the Perilous Skies is an awesome piece, one of Holsinger's best. However, I think I'd rank it as my third favorite, behind Liturgical Dances and the truly awesome and vastly under-performed The Armies of the Omnipresent Otserf.

Robert W. Smith writes some great music, but he tends to repeat the same rhythms, and his songs sound a lot a like. Other than that his songs are pretty good. October, by Eric Whitacre is really good.

What? No Ballet Sacra or In the Spring, At the Time When Kings Go Off To War?

Try these pieces -
Rick Kirby's "Of Banners Golden" - a piece with variations of "Minstrel Boy."
David Maslanka's "Morning Star" - triplets up the wazoo!
John Zdechlik's "Celebrations"

I concur. I love Shenandoah! We play a lot of Ticheli's stuff.
