James Lindsay's Sanbiki No Kashikoi Saru for three voices (SSA). Duration: 5 minutes Composed: 2003 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook ISMN M 57036 603 3. Commissioned and first performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble at the York Spring Festival of New Music 8th May 2003. The text for this piece is taken from the Japanese myth of the Three Wise Monkeys (sanbiki no kashikoi saru): ‘mi zaru kika zaru iwa zaru’ literally translates as ‘nothing seen nothing heard nothing said’ but is more commonly known as ‘see no evil hear no evil speak no evil’. The piece itself came before the text and takesas its core influence from the music of the Japanese hip hop/drum and bass star DJ Krush centering around a sample from his track ‘Trihedron’ from his 2002 album The Message at the Depth.

Qu'est-ce qu'un arrangement mixte-up, le mètre mixte, fou et amusant de 'Jingle Bells!' Comme l'indique le lyrique, 'La mélodie est la même- les rythmes, ils ne sont pas.' / 3 Voix Mixtes

Cruel Sister for three voices (SSA) a traditional ballad arranged by Sarah Dacey. Duration: 4 minutes.Composed: 2010 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook ISMN M 57036 603 3. This murder ballad first appeared in broadside in 1656 as The Twa Sisters but is also known as Binnorie and The Singing Bone. The versions vary a great deal for example the Norse version has the authorities bring the family a pipe to identify the murderer. When the older sister plays it blood drips from it and she is condemned to death and pulled apart by horses. My version ends with her unsuccessfully trying to smash the harp in two andthen running into the forests driven mad by the song which will forever pursue her. First performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble on 28th July 2010 at Harrogate Festival St James’ Church Birstwith.
