The traditional sound of the male glee club is at the forefront with this brilliant setting of a text by Robert Louis Stevenson composed for the 125th anniversary of the University of Pittsburgh Men's Glee Club. The cheerful 12/8 opening bounds forward contrasting with a more lyrical middle section before returning for a stirring conclusion.

Rosephanye Powell's 'Bright Is the Ring of Words' is a fantastic teaching piece for advanced male choirs. The clear engraving by Hal Leonard is appreciated, especially for rhythmic clarity in the 12/8 sections. It offers wonderful opportunities to develop expressive singing and vocal blending, making it a challenging yet highly rewarding addition to any collegiate or accomplished high school ensemble's repertoire.

As a vocal coach, I'm deeply impressed by the voice leading and textural variety in this TTBB a cappella work by Rosephanye Powell. Each part has meaningful melodic lines, and the harmonic progression is both interesting and supportive. It’s an ideal piece for developing blend and independence within a male ensemble, transitioning beautifully from bounding energy to lyrical depth. Highly recommend for serious choirs.
