Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen est un célèbre choral allemand du temps de l’Avent, dans lequel la Nativité s’exprime par la métaphore du bateau portant la cargaison divine jusque sur la terre où il jette l’ancre. Daté du début du XVe siècle, ce choral a la particularité d’être la fois en ternaire et en binaire. La musique installe un climat de mystère étonnant avant de fêter la naissance de Jésus Noël.

Roland Kernen hat in seiner Bearbeitung des bekannten und beliebten Adventsliedes die vier Liedverse mit verschiedenen Verzierungen ausgeschmückt und um ein Vorspiel, ein Nachspiel und mehrere Zwischenspiele ergänzt. Dabei blieb der für das 17. Jahrhundert typische Rhythmuswechsel erhalten. So entstand eine abwechslungsreiche Komposition als Künderin der Frohen Botschaft.

I had written the Cadman Requiem in 1989 for the Hilliard Ensemble in memory of my friend and sound engineer Bill Cadman, who was killed in the Lockerbie air crash. His death affected me very deeply and, pending a recording of this piece, Manfred Eicher asked if I might like to develop an instrumental work from this, using the same instrumentation for accompaniment and retaining the same opening bars as part of a new ECM album. The piece is after the Requiem therefore in the musical sense of being based on it, in the chronological sense of following on from it, and in the spiritual sense of representing that state which remains after mourning is (technically) over. I wrote the piece in Venice in September 1990 and finished it in Oslo on the day of the recording, where I added the electric guitar of Bill Frisell. This, I felt, blended particularly well with low strings (2 violas and cello). Coincidentally, having used certain distortion effects on the guitar, we found that we were recording on the twentieth anniversary of the death of Jimi Hendrix. Within the music I use one or two modified extracts from the Cadman Requiem itself, and from its common source Invention of Tradition, for which Bill Cadman had done the sound design.The piece is dedicated to the two Bills (Cadman and Frisell).

Scored For String Quartet. Commissioned by the New Arts String Quartet, first performed in Tokyo November 1996. Quoting Tanaka: The title Metal Strings suggests speed metal rock music which I have been listening to a lot in recent years. I find an explosive energy in its music that people of today thirst for. Previously I have explored solid, speedy and metallic sound in pieces such as 'Wave Mechanics' (1994), 'Wave Mechanics II' (1994) and 'Metalic Crystal' (1994-95). This idea has been extended and developed in my string quartet, Metal Strings. Score only edition, separate parts are also available on sale.

Light and celebratory, this joyous anthem uses rhythmic, ostinato-like vocal lines to support the melodic theme. A sustained middle section provides contrast, capturing the majesty and mystery of God. Time signature changes and interesting harmonic writing make this a good challenege for more advanced choirs. Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series. Recording by the Nidaros Cathedral Choir, Vivianne Sydnes, conductor.

The text of the Responsorium O magnum mysterium, to be sung liturgically in the midnight darkness, describes the mystery of Christ's incarnation, from darkness into light. In three sections, the music increases from a piano sound to the concluding Halleluja. In ever-new harmonies, the lyrical-Gregorian motifs emerge in sequences of sixths within the dense, four-part writing. The musical language is modal-harmonic with constantly surprising turns. This highly atmospheric piece is good to sing, but requires a reasonably-sized choir because the work doesn't give the voices any opportunity to rest.

Coventry Carol was arranged for the Choir of Trinity College, Melbourne as part of their 2015 carols services on December 4, 5 and 6. It has since been recorded for CD (Beneath the Incense Tree, APL17427) as part of the College's centenary celebrations for the consecration of the Horsfall Chapel in 2017, with current Director of Music Chris Watson conducting.The well-known text is sourced from mystery plays celebrating the Feast of Corpus Christi, for which the traditional melody and harmonisation can be found in a 1591 edition published by Thomas Mawdycke. Here, the source material becomes increasingly unstable as the Massacre of the Innocents approaches, resulting in an apocalyptic climax. A barren and desolate epilogue follows, as foretold by Jeremiah 31:15. (She refuses to be comforted, for they are no more.).

Rikudim (Hebrew for “Dancesâ€) is a four-part dance suite based on Jewish music. By using eastern intervals and irregular time changes, the composer succeeds in creating a slightly melancholy but specifically Jewish flavoured piece. Rikudim (Hebreeuws voor ‘dansen’) is een vierdelige suite van op joodse muziek gebaseerde dansen. Door het gebruik van oosters aandoende toonafstanden en onregelmatige maatsoorten is de componist erin geslaagd om enerzijdseen vleugje melancholie en anderzijds een specifiek joods tintje in deze muziek te verweven. De duidelijk omlijnde thema’s en de soms verrassende, maar soms ook weer natuurlijk overkomende harmonisaties geven deze ‘gestileerde volksdansen’een directe zeggingskracht.Die vierteilige Suite Rikudim (hebräisch für ’Tanzen‘) besteht aus von der jüdischen Musik inspirierten Tänzen. Durch den Gebrauch von orientalisch anmutenden Tonintervallen und unregelmäßigen Taktarten ist es dem Komponisten gelungen, in dieser Musik einerseits einen Hauch Melancholie, andererseits spezifisch jüdische Elemente miteinander zu verschmelzen. Die deutlich bestimmten Themen und die bisweilen sehr überraschenden und natürlichen Harmonien bewirken, dass diese stilisierten Volkstänze ihre Botschaft sehr direkt vermitteln.Rikudim (de l’hébreu rikud, “danseâ€) est une suite de quatre danses originales inspirées de la musique traditionnelle juive. L’utilisation d’une structure tonale orientale, l’introduction de mesures irrégulières et la richesse sonore de l’orchestration apportent cette œuvre une teinte mélancolique mais surtout une grande authenticité. Les thèmes très inspirés sont clairement différenciés. L’harmonisation quelquefois surprenante sans jamais être dénaturée confère ces quatre danses originales juives une grande richesse d’expression.

Inspiring words are joined to lightly contemporary music to create a rich and melodically compelling anthem. A full expressive range is explored as the piece unfolds, bringing layers of meaning and purpose to the promise of God's eternal presence with us.

Black as the midnight, and white as the snow; gold as the sunshine, my cat of calico. A bouncy and buoyant melody is supported by a folk-song-style piano accompaniment and some easy-to-sing harmonic patterns in this truly charming 2-part original by Andy Beck. Singers won't be able to get enough of the tongue-twisting patter text as they tell the tale of the whimsically colorful cat. Directors can take special pride in teaching the optional cue notes and accented descant that adds a fluffy coat near the end. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.
