Hymns from a Spiritual Journey In Reclaiming Praise, Andrew Pratt has charted a spiritual journey of hope and renewal that will inspire all those who sing his hymns to re-examine the roots of their faith or doubt. Following on from his two previous collections, Blinded by the Dazzle and Whatever Name or Creed, the 150 new texts gathered here bring a personal and 21st-century perspective to a range of themes including covenant, creativity, faith and science, justice, lament and persecution, enfolding time past and time future in a pertinent message for the present.

For SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied. Set to the text of a 12th-century Sequence in honour of the martyr St Olav and characterized by a mellifluous plainchant-style melody, this glorious motet pulses with understated intensity. The opening drones, performed in free time and re-stated throughout, establish a quiet energy which rises until the luminescent final section, in which the heavens are called to rejoice. The original Sequence provides a stately coda. This is splendid and original music, suitable for both concert and liturgical use.

In his String Quartet (1956) Arne Nordheim used the title EPITAFFIO for the third and last movement. And in 1963 he used this title again, now for a complete work: Epitaffio per orchestra ed nastro magnetico. This orchestral work incorporates the Quasimodo text, sung by a children's chorus, on a tape accompanying the orchestra towards the end of the piece. The present choral version was arranged and typeset by Andrew Smith, based on the instrumental movement from the string quartet, as well as the choral treatment in the orchestral setting.

These jazz arrangements of well-known hymns were written for Andrew Earis and choirs of St Martin-in-the-Fields, London for various services and BBC broadcasts from that church. The setting of “Come down, O Love divine†supplies some new harmonic moves to Vaughan Williams' lovely tune “Down Ampneyâ€, gradually adding vocal harmony through the verses, with a short descant section in the final verse. The compound-time arrangement of “God Is Love,†which can also be sung to the supplied words of Charles Wesley's hymn “Love Divine,†again adds more of Todd's iconic jazz harmonies and textures in the vocal parts with each successive verse. The setting of “Let all mortal flesh keep silence†is structured to gradually build layers over the moody piano chords and the pedal harmony. At the end the music builds to a large climax for the text “Lord most highâ€. The hymns can be performed using the supplied piano part or using the chord symbols above. Double bass may also be used in addition to piano, again following the supplied chord symbols, and parts for optional jazz ensemble are available. Performers of these hymns should feel free to include the congregation or audience in imaginative ways.

Midwinter Song is a Christmas carol that calls us to love, faith, and hope. With a beautiful and supportive piano accompaniment and accessible vocal lines, this work will appeal to a wide variety of levels. Susan Labarr's Midwinter Song is a new work for Advent or Christmas. Labarr opens the piece with a gentle piano solo that perfectly captures the mystery of the poetry—the words seem to travel out of a time in the deep past and give homage to the neglected art of both rhythm and rhyme. In particular, the description of the world gathering in amber halls in the first verse wonderfully conjures images of medieval casltes or mead halls lit only with firelight and candles, full with the sound of carols. Choral Journal, May 2019, Volume 59, Number 10.
