Probably of folk song origin, the Swedish hymn Den blomstertid nu kommer was first time published in the 1695 Swedish Hymnal. The Finnish version is traditionally sung in the end of the school year. The rhytmic toccata, followed by the joyful variations and an uplifting fuga by Lars Karlsson is based on this tune which strongly associates with the beginning of summer.

Joyful syncopations propel us forward in this educational concert or contest selection. Contemporary yet logical sonorities come to life for developing choirs building their skills within limited vocal ranges. Notice how the marcato beginning and end contrast with a B section that is a touch more legato. Though sung entirely in Latin, there are only two sentences of text and a pronunciation guide is included. Perfectly crafted for intermediate groups, with the precisely vocal ranges you're seeking!

This graceful arrangement elegantly weaves together four classic winter melodies: Waltz of the Snowflakes from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite, Skater's Waltz by Émile Waldteufel, In the Bleak Midwinter by Gustav Holst, and Winter from The Four Seasons by Antonio Vivaldi. Scored in 3/4 time with a consistent tempo throughout, the piece allows every section of the orchestra to shine with melodic material. The softly joyful key of D major with optional harp (playable by piano) and glockenspiel will add a moment of classical lightness to any winter or holiday concert.

Commissioned and premiered by the Network for New Music on Feb. 24, 2002 in Philadelphia, conducted by Jennifer Higdon, ...as like a raging fire... is composed for flute clarinet, violin, cello and piano, with a commissioning grant from Meet the Composer's commissioning USA program. In the music, I've expressed my impression of a raging fire, which is external but also internal, it's in the nature but also in the spirit. --Chen Yi a departure for the composer from her typical joyful music...explosive energy and even some anger... Contrasting this was piano turned artillery, lobbing 'shots' of struck chords over the bow of the audience. --Andrew Druckenbrod, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
