The Lark In The Clear Air is a traditional Irish air. Since the 1800s, it has been associated with a poem by the Irish writer Sir Samuel Ferguson (1810-1886), one of the founding fathers of the Irish literary revival. It has been arranged here by Edgar M. Deale for TBarB Three-part Male Voice Chorus, with Piano accompaniment. It makes a perfect recital item for any Male Voice Choir.

Edgar M. Deale (1902-1999) was a twentieth century Irish composer. A former chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, he was largely self-taught as a composer. His output was limited to a few dozen original works and arrangements, but hiscontribution to Irish music is gradually achieving the recognition it deserves.

In his Psalm 151 on lyrics by Edward Broadbridge, the Danish composer John Hoybye stages, so to speak, a theatrical play, assigning clear roles to the solo violin and the choir. The violin, representing the voice of God, enters into a dialog with the choir which represents the voice of man. They speak to one another, they comment on each other, wrestle with each other, spur each other on and thus develop a musical momentum.

This set of three motets for unaccompanied male choir sets the Latin words for the De Profundis, Ave Maria and Laudate and manifests Lewkovitch's fascination both with chant and with modality.Contemporary Danish composer, conductor and Organist Bernhard Lewkovitch has followed a rare path among modern composers. From 1947 he was Organist at St Ansgars Kirches and later remained connected with the Catholic Church by working as an Organist. Clearly he is inspired by the Catholic liturgy and sees his great output of ecclesiastical music as a vocation and a great responsibility. For many years his work by inspired by Gregorian chant and was composed in church modes, then inthe mid 1950's he began to expand into modern bitonality and polytonality, culminating in Il cantico delle creature in 1962/3 in which there was no conventional notation and no fixed pitch. After that, Lewkovitch had somewhat of a hiatus, later returning again to the inspirations of the mid1950's.
