'for the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain'for junior-upper voice SSSA Choir and Double SATB Choir a cappella (Score)Commissioned by the National Youth Choirs of Great BritainText is by Arthur W. E. O'Shaughnessy, adapted by Jessica Duchen.Composer's NoteWhen the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain requested a short piece for their gala concert at Birmingham's Symphony Hall, I was particularly excited about the prospect of writing for 300 singers. A recent research trip to Estonia resulted in somewhat of a revelation: having heard and seen their world-renowned choirs in action (literally!) has resulted in We are the Music-Makers having the less mainstream 'surround-sound' of upper voices/junior choir at the back and sides of the audience and a further stereophonic double-choir on stage.This poem was sent to me by Tim Williams (my ex Head of English at school), and immediately seemed to fit this occasion. This text has already been set magnificently by Elgar, so partly to avoid any kind of comparison and also to bring its timeless message up to date, I asked my poet friend Jessica Duchen to give it a sligtly more contemporary feel.A poem about global music-making (which ties in with the NYCGB's recent World-Music CD), it speaks about humankind, nation to nation, and the mention of Babel inspiring a 'speakng of tongues' effect by using as many different international words for 'music' as possible as an accompaniment (not an easy task, as many of them are similar to our own word!). These are: French (Musique), Romanian (Muzica), Swahili (Mahewa), Polish (Muzka), Estonian (Muusika), German (Muzik), Japanese (Ongaku), and Spanish (Música). / Choeur Mixte (SSAATTBB) A Cappella

Domine, refugium factus es nobis. Par SCHANDERL HANS. Kurt Suttner, editor of the “carus novus” series, has written as follows in the foreword to the printed edition of Schanderl’s setting of Psalm 90: The seven verses of Psalm 90 contrast the eternity of God with the transitoriness of man. This contrast is symbolized in the composition by the majestic, slow-moving basic pulse of the music, and by rhythmically taut, concise, polyphonic melodic figures. This contrast exactly matches the words which speak either of the permanence of God [“Domine – Lord”] or the transitory nature of man [“convertimini filii hominum – return ye children of man” – “mane sicut herba – like the grass”]. / Psaumes / Répertoire / Choeur SSAATTBB

The musical setting of the poem Though Love be a Day by the English writer E. E. Cummings is both graceful and solemn at the same time. The composer Matthew Brown interpreted it sometimes light, sometimes tonally powerful and archaic for mixed a cappella choir. / Choeur Mixte (SSAATTBB) A Cappella
