Millions of the children in your congregations sing our music. And many of their school music teachers also use our music with their church choirs. Often these teachers have asked us to create more of our quality music to use at church, and to share it with other church directors. This has inspired us to bring our music to those of you who haven’t experienced it yet. Nineteen years ago, we sat down in our old farmhouse to plan a publishing company that would help elementary music teachers change the world for their students. Those who use our products tell us that we are doing just that. In those nineteen years, teachers have used our music to reach their toughest students, to bring their audiences to tears, and to unite entire schools in programs to honor veterans, explore their country’s history, and save the planet. Our music has helped a generation of students stay in school, avoid drugs, learn about their world, and feel good about their lives, their country, and their futures. Plank Road Publishing was founded on several important principles, and they continue to guide our way today: • Our products are superbly recorded with children’s voices and top professional instrumentalists. The music is educationally sound and designed to motivate today’s children. While we create products that are contemporary and exciting for students, we build on timeless concepts that allow teachers to use these products for years to come. • Our products are priced and packaged to provide high value for schools and churches with limited budgets. • We treat our customers and our staff as we would want to be treated. All of our products are fully guaranteed, and when you call us, you get a real person, a friendly one who cares about you and your order. • As a company, we respect the environment, using recycled paper, soy ink, and packaging with the least environmental impact. Welcome to our second Golden Rule Music catalog! We hope that you will go to our web site to hear the new music we have created for you and explore other inspirational music resources from Plank Road Publishing and other publishers.

For this new collection, we asked three of our most creative arrangers to pick favorite hymns and set them in contemporary settings that maintain the essentials of the hymn while adding new musical excitement to the arrangement and orchestration. We are pleased with the outcome and invite you to listen to the excerpts of these songs online. This valuable resource includes: • All Hail The Power Of Jesus’ Name - When you first hear this striking new setting, your first thought might be “Riverdance.” It is an energetic 4/4 with an infectious 12/8 underpinning for orchestra. • Amazing Grace - We think that this fine old hymn deserves the powerful setting you will find here. Opening with beautiful, entwining string counterpoint, it leads to rich chords under the choir. • Be Thou My Vision - Rooted in a strong pianistic adaptation, this favorite hymn swells into a strong, rhythmic arrangement that will stay with you for a long time. • Fairest Lord Jesus - We have heard many settings of this old hymn, but this setting is unique, with a simple Appalachian accompaniment, spiced with just the right instruments including a hammered dulcimer, and a chorus of guitars. It’s just right. • Come, Thou Fount Of Every Blessing - Enjoy this plaintive arrangement that states the song simply, over an elegant tapestry of piano, strings, and guitar. It is topped off with a lovely violin solo over the final verse. • The Solid Rock - This striking setting of the great old hymn is sort of “rock in 3.” It builds from an expectant intro, full of tight harmonies in the accompaniment of rhythm section and strings. By the chorus, it is a joyous forte with rock guitar and moving strings. Coming out of the second verse there is a big ending with an optional second part, and a big “Amen” to close it. You really need to hear this collection to fully appreciate it! And we’ve made that easy to do with long sound excerpts on our web site, in the featured page for this collection, or through our unique interactive catalog. (See the next page for more information.) Here’s what you get in the printed version of this collection: • A Director’s Handbook with playable Piano/Vocal parts. • Reproducible vocal parts with full rights for as many copies as you need for your singers. • A high quality Performance/Accompaniment CD featuring world-class players and two versions of each song: full performance, and accompaniment only. The downloadable edition gives you the same pages and recordings, but they are in the form of PDFs and MP3s.

Most of us have heard and sung this tune since we were kids, but you’ve never heard it like this. The heart of the arrangement is a foot-tapping rock style with an intriguing new harmonic treatment. The melody and lyrics are traditional, so it can be performed with even your youngest singers. Actually, the setting has two parts, a “prelude” that is intended for a solo voice, then the bouncy version of the tune, complete with a happy “la” melody for the intro and a final interlude. The recording is broken into two parts so that you can just do the tune by itself or in a more theatrical version with the simple prelude and then the tune itself. It’s a natural for a performance – picture one of your youngest doing the sweet introduction, with your children’s choir moving in during the opening of the full song. Your congregation will love it. And there will be a lot of energy because this is just plain fun to sing! Be sure to listen to this on our web site – our interactive catalog will make it easy to hear anything in this catalog.

Children performing it this way make the words come to life. From the solo electric guitar to the symphonic strings and brass to the thumping bass and rock drums, the recording of this piece is truly inspirational. The first time through, it is rapped in unison. The second time through, it becomes a call and response rap. And in a performance situation it is perfect for movement.

It was written to feature a soloist with choir, but it is also quite effective with just unison choir. The melody is simple but poignant, and it has already become one of Teresa’s most talked about compositions. Be sure to hear it online if you haven’t already done so. You will understand how powerful this song is. (Also featured in the collection We Sing Of America.)

However, it can be used on many occasions to honor any veterans or those soldiers who are still serving. The tone and interpretation of the piece will depend on the circumstances under which it is presented. This song will linger in the hearts and minds of your singers and audience, no matter where it is performed. THOSE WHO SERVED Downloadable Kit for Mac/Windows............................... 16.95 PROUD OF OUR VETERANS by Teresa Jennings Poignant and anthem-like, this majestic song expresses our thanks to the citizens who have given so much of themselves for the good of their country. While the song is written in two parts, the second part is optional and it is a natural harmony that should not be too difficult to learn.

We believe that if you listen to our products, they will speak for themselves, which is why we make recorded excerpts of them readily available online and in our interactive catalog. But we also thought that it might be nice to take a moment and tell you a little more about what you will find when a product arrives. Performance/Accompaniment Recordings - Virtually all of Plank Road Publishing’s products have recordings that feature at least two performances of each song. There is a Full Performance, with children singing the words over the appropriate accompaniments. Then, there is an Accompaniment Only recording which features just the accompaniment tracks and any sound effects that aren’t meant to be performed by the children. All of our recordings are available on professionally mastered, high-quality CDs. Real Musicians – Real Instruments – Great Recordings - We are proud of our recordings and spend a lot of time doing them right. We use top professional musicians, playing real instruments with orchestrations appropriate to the style of the piece. If the song needs a string quartet, that’s what you’ll hear. And if the tune calls for a rock band, it will be a superb one, recorded in a way that your singers will enjoy. If you listen to our song excerpts online, you will hear big bands, polka bands, folk groups, Dixieland groups, and full orchestras as well. Do we use synthesizers and electronic keyboards? Certainly. We take a truckload of them to every recording session. But we go to these instruments to find sounds that are unique to them. We don’t use them instead of strings, banjos, or saxophones. Even though many other publishing companies charge much more for their recordings, you will find that ours are unsurpassed in quality. Legally Reproducible Music & Money-Saving Kits We pioneered the concept of legally reproducible music for music educators. Virtually all of Plank Road Publishing’s products come with the right to freely duplicate the music. Even products that have separate Student Editions for sale come with reproducible lyric sheets. We always try to be sensitive to tight music budgets, so we offer our products in money-saving kits that combine various components at a reduced cost. See the pricing information for exact contents of each kit. And even though our prices are very competitive, we pay a little extra to print all of our products on recycled paper with soy-based ink. 8 About Our Products GoldenRulePages08Q7:GRM 07 Pages 1/23/08 11:11 PM Page 11 WARM-UPS FOR YOUNG VOICES by Anne Ellsworth and Teresa Jennings Properly warming up young singers can be tough, especially when you have a limited amount of time with them and when your singers are easily distracted. By popular demand, Anne and Teresa have created a fundamental set of warm-ups designed with these challenges in mind. Anne Ellsworth is one of the nation’s finest sopranos, and brings to this project her extensive training with top vocal instructors along with her background with The San Francisco Opera and many top choral groups. Of course, she is equally at home with jazz and pop stylings, and working with children. She has worked for a number of years now with her sister, Teresa Jennings, to help produce the superb recordings that make all of Plank Road Publishing’s products so special. In the recording studio, where time is at a premium, Teresa and Anne have a unique ability to get children singing energetically and musically no matter what the style of the work. The first few minutes of each session are the key to their success, as they carefully warm up the singers and establish the mood. In this wonderful set of exercises, they share some of their secrets in a format that is practical, methodical, and pedagogically sound. And as you might expect, they have also included a couple of specially arranged “just for fun” exercises guaranteed to loosen up your singers and help you relax them in rehearsal or before a performance when this can be very important. The Teacher’s Handbook includes all of the warm-ups written out and discussed, along with other helpful warm-up tips from the authors. The special Performance/Accompaniment CD includes a full demonstration of each warm-up, as well as just the accompaniment to free you from the piano or to help you in situations where you don’t have easy access to a piano or other instruments. This is a product that you will use over and over for many years to come.

Everyone knows a version of the Golden Rule. But what does it really mean? And how do you follow it? In this book, gorgeously illustrated by Gabi Swiatkowska, a grandfather explains to his grandson that the Golden Rule means you “treat people the way you would like to be treated. It’s golden because it’s so valuable, and a way of living your life that’s so simple, it shines.” And though it may be a simple rule, it isn’t easy to follow. Fortunately, following the Golden Rule is something everyone can do, which means that every person – old or young, rich or poor – can be a part of making the world a better place. (Grades K-5) GR-BK110 Book.............................................................................................................. 16.95 GOLDEN RULE by Teresa Jennings “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” It’s so simple, yet so profound. In our ongoing efforts to help young people deal with a world full of difficulties, we are offering this gentle and lovely song. Most of us are familiar with the Golden Rule, but how many of us find it easy to actually employ it in everyday life? Even with the best intentions, we often forget. Perhaps a song can help us remember, especially if it’s a song we learn when we are still young.

This very special collection brings together eight of the most popular of these tunes including: • This Is Our World - Use this striking Latin rock song in unison or in parts to open any performance. • Mother Earth - Gentle and folk-like, this reflective gem would be lovely performed with just piano and guitar, or with the world-class players we use on every recording. • Save The Earth - Starting with a simple, almost classical verse, it builds through a cumulative rap section and becomes an infectious rock anthem that will keep the strong environmental message in the hearts of young singers for years. • The Green Blues - Perhaps a song about such a serious subject shouldn’t be so much fun to sing, but it is. In this rollicking, bluesy tune, Teresa Jennings has created a way to look at many of the problems our environment is prone to. • Listen To The Earth - It’s a real pleasure to sing this easy-going folk rock song, and the rich orchestration features a beautiful solo English horn with two oboes for counterpoint. • Plant A Tree - Ideal for movement, this lively Latin jazz tune features a great big band orchestration on the recording. Good luck sitting still once it starts! • Nature Starts A Song - This simple, lovely round is a celebration of nature and the music we hear within it. A peaceful and acoustic tune, it could be performed live using only piano, or piano and guitars, mandolin, bells, etc., depending on what you have. • As You Walk Through This World - Here is a very beautiful song that is rich in meaning and a wonderful way to practice singing with a pretty tone. We have added the option of using sign language.

The song is in a gentle, folk style with a light rock beat. • Thankful For The U.S.A. - Set in an infectious Nashville rock style, this song is an inspiration and a reminder to all of us that we are truly fortunate to be Americans. • Thanksgiving Day - This is a simple, reflective, straightforward song about Thanksgiving. It has absolutely nothing to do with Pilgrims, turkeys, football, parades, or the beginning of the Christmas season, just giving thanks. • The Turkey Woogie - Where would we be without turkeys at Thanksgiving time? Who else would teach us to dance and celebrate?! Kids everywhere have had a ball singing and moving to this lively song. • We Are Thankful - There is no season for gratitude – it’s always important!

A Children’s Musical by George L.O. Strid and Mary Donnelly The storm clouds are forming, and the boat’s almost ready! Take a flustered Noah, add a wife, three rambunctious sons, and two of every living creature on the earth and you’ve got chaos! It’ll take a lot of faith to get them through 40 days and nights of life on this crowded vessel. The sons have their own ideas on how to pass the time with basketball, stand-up comedy, and a buffet table. The timeless Biblical story of Noah and the Ark is told through the unique perspective of Mom and Dad Elephant (who, of course, remember it vividly). This easily-prepared 16-minute musical is perfect for younger children’s choirs. The reproducible Director’s Manual offers permission to photocopy singer’s sheets and dialog, making Don’t Rock The Ark a budgetstretching, creative presentation for any time!

God’s Faithful Prophet by Mark Patterson Charming and witty, this superb, new children’s musical captivates the heart through its memorable melodies and humorous dialogue creatively telling the story of Elijah. From his confrontation with Ahab and Jezebel through his journey in the desert, Elijah shows his faith in the God who provides. Concluding with one of the most dramatic moments in the Old Testament, Elijah asks God to send down fire upon the altar at Mt. Carmel. There, the people of Israel see the power of the true and living God. Vocal parts are specifically designed so any children’s choir can perform them with success – especially unison choirs! Those choirs seeking a bit more challenge, however, will enjoy learning the optional voice parts found in several songs. A delightful dramatic narrative employs numerous roles for girls and boys, as well as several non-speaking parts that can be easily performed by younger children. It works perfectly in any worship setting, music camp, or Vacation Bible School format. The performance time is approximately 30-40 minutes.

If you subscribe later in the year, you will receive back issues and CDs in a single package. • Sending the subscription to your home will provide you with the best service. If you must have it sent to your church or school, please try to have it delivered to your name, not an anonymous warehouse. If you order with library funds, still try to get it in your name. CHECKS, PURCHASE ORDERS, and INVOICES We don’t encourage the use of Purchase Orders because they are expensive and timeconsuming to service. Still, this is often the only way you can use your budget, so we accept them. Since we believe that you should only pay for what you order, we include a $2.50 processing charge for all Purchase Orders. Our terms are “Payment In Full Within 15 Days Of Receipt.” If payment is not forthcoming, and we must re-invoice, we will add a Service Charge of $5.00 to the invoice. Credit is expensive as is the labor that it takes to track invoices, and we feel that it is unfair for us to pass this expense to all customers when only a few of them require the extra effort. We offer very fair prices and good service. We hope that you will all help us in this matter. Thanks. Please make checks payable to: Plank Road Publishing. CREDIT CARDS For your convenience, we honor the following credit cards: RETURNS • Please call us for return authorization. • While we guarantee our products, we do assume that all orders are “firm” orders as we do not offer items “On Approval.” • If you must return anything to us, you must do so within 30 days. • A returned item must be in like-new, resalable condition when we receive it. You must package it securely, preferably in the original packing. • For proper credit, please be sure that you correctly identify the order, ideally with a copy of the packing slip. • Customers are responsible for return shipping charges, as well as the original shipping and handling charges. • It would also be nice to know why you are returning the product. We want to serve you better. This will help. Returns should be sent to: Plank Road Publishing, Inc., Attn: Return Processing, 3540-J N. 126th St., Brookfield, WI 53005-2403. REPLACEMENTS We allow 4 weeks from the time we send subscription components before considering them “lost” and replacing them at no charge. Other replacements are at our discretion, per case, based on issues of reasonability. Important Information 41 GoldenRulePages08Q7:GRM 07 Pages 1/23/08 11:11 PM Page 44 Looking Ahead To Christmas... SING WITH US THE CHRISTMAS STORY A Program for Voices Young and Older Musical Arrangements by Teresa and Paul Jennings The concept is simple, and the performance results will be dramatic and moving for performers and audiences alike. Take eight of the most beloved carols, and arrange them in simple vocal arrangements, the way you expect them to be (with optional second parts). Now, create a narrative based on the scriptural telling of the Christmas story, broken into segments that set up the songs. For background, add richly orchestrated recordings performed by top professionals. As a final joyous option, we have made all of these arrangements appropriate for audience sing-along, with intros that naturally lead them into the song without rehearsal. And we’ve included reproducible sing-along sheets for the audience in addition to the reproducible singer’s parts. If you doubt the power of this program, be sure visit our web site to listen to extensive sound excerpts of this amazing product. The carols that tell the Christmas story include: • Angels We Have Heard On High • O Little Town Of Bethlehem • Away In A Manger • The First Noel • Hark! The Herald Angels Sing • We Three Kings Of Orient Are • Silent Night • Joy To The World CS-126G Performance Kit with CD ............................................................................ 59.95 Director’s Handbook with Reproducible Singer’s Parts & P/A CD ON THIS CHRISTMAS DAY by Teresa Jennings, Paul Jennings, and John Riggio For your Christmas program, we have put together a collection of some of our favorite carols. These terrific arrangements will work in a variety of settings. On This Christmas Day includes: • O Come All Ye Faithful - This powerful arrangement can be performed in unison, two, or three parts. The stunning symphonic accompaniment will help your rehearsals and provide special excitement to your performances. • The Friendly Beasts - This gentle old carol is one that you will want to share with your singers. The P/A CD for this song features a beautiful, expressive arrangement. • The Angels Sang - This piece offers the perfect opportunity to spotlight your own little angels. • Joy To The World - Set in the style of Handel, this classic Christmas carol is a perfect way to open a holiday concert. • Masters In This Hall - Our arrangement of this well-loved English carol is set in a Celtic style, with a rollicking feel reminiscent of its French dancing song roots. • Christmas Day - “Anthem rock” is perhaps the best description of this favorite, and that’s what makes it so popular with young singers. • The Coventry Carol - Our arrangement of this caroling song is short and simple, but it will give your serious singers a chance to show off their voices. • Children, Go Where I Send Thee - Here’s a very lively song that is cumulative in nature. Once your students understand the formula, they will follow it easily.

Teresa and Paul Jennings Many people have told us that they love our seasonal music and our rich orchestrations, and would love to have them with more traditional Christmas carols. So here are four of our favorite carols in a medley that is ideal in a variety of settings. It is arranged so that it can also be a great sing-along. To facilitate this, we have provided a reproducible lyric sheet to pass out to the congregation. This medley includes “Joy To The World,” “The First Noel,” “Silent Night,” and “Hark! The Herald Angels Sing.” The recording features two versions: one long and one short, superbly scored for orchestra and professionally recorded.
