FireBright! is a piece that will get your singers excited! When I started teaching it to my middle school-aged group they immediately loved the intensity and driving force right through to the end. I realized there were many teachable opportunities: the pulsing 12/8 time, the la-based natural minor melody, the occasional unexpected shift to major harmonies, word painting, and many poetic and literary devices. The rolling and fiery piano part for FireBright! requires a skilled accompanist. Singers will love easy but effective body percussion and harmonic crunches. FireBright! is perfect for concerts with themes of Fire & Ice, Light & Dark, Colors, Halloween, or Elements.

The SSA version is appropriate for groups who are just introducing this voicing. S(S)AB version great for choirs with a newly developed baritone section. In both cases, the Soprano 2s mainly sing with the Sopranos 1s, except at a few key instances. Perfect for intermediate middle-school and high-school age groups,
