More about this title

About the Composer: Carol Kelley

Carol Kelley

Carol Kelley grew up in Oregon and has spent decades working across multiple musical disciplines, composing, performing, and teaching. She earned her BA in music education from George Fox University with focused study in vocal performance, piano, and composition, then brought those skills into classrooms as an elementary and middle school music educator.

Why we love this

Kelley's text setting feels natural and unforced, which matters when you're teaching choir students who need clarity before artistry. The recorded accompaniment is genuinely useful for rehearsals, clean, supportive, and pitched at a level that lets your singers focus on their own blend rather than fighting to hear themselves.

What to expect

Waterfall evokes motion and fluidity through its musical language, creating a sense of natural flow and continuity. The piece balances lyrical writing with accessible harmonies that allow singers to focus on blend, diction, and emotional delivery rather than wrestling with technical demands.

Who it's for

Choirs ranging from high school to community level who want repertoire that sings easily without sacrificing musicality. This digital download works especially well for directors seeking an accessible concert piece that also translates well to festival or competition settings.

How to get the most out of it

  • Balance the chord voices carefully during the accompaniment playback; the recorded track gives you freedom to shape phrase dynamics without compromise.
  • Mark breath points collectively in a rehearsal so singers understand where the line phrases end naturally versus where you need a dramatic hold.
  • Record a quick video of your own choir singing sections in unison before dividing into parts; it helps singers internalize the overall melodic arc.

How to use it

Position this as a strong mid-concert piece that provides contrast and breathing room within a longer program. Its secular nature and moderate difficulty make it ideal for community performances, school concerts, or festival competitions where you need a piece that showcases your choir's musicianship without overshadowing larger works.

Skills your students will build

  • Four-part SATB voice independence and blend
  • Sustained melodic phrasing across longer lines
  • Attention to diction clarity with recorded accompaniment support
  • Dynamic control and shaping within an accompanied context
