UPC: 888680932879. 6.75x10.5x0.029 inches. Abraham Lincoln/Daniel McDavitt.

Daniel McDavitt has composed an exquisite trilogy using texts from three American greats: Ralph Waldo Emerson, Abraham Lincoln, and William Wordsworth. Although they can be performed individually, they are most powerful as a set, each with flute obbligato. The first “memory” from Emerson is about music, and is joyful and buoyant. The second “memory” is from Lincoln, and is more reflective about childhood. The final “memory” by Wordsworth combines the thoughts of the previous two in a mature understanding. A delightful trilogy for high school choirs.

A short and accessible work that nevertheless captures an entire cosmos of ideas and elements of contemporary vocal music!The internationally renowned Swedish composer and conductor Karin Rehnqvist undertook some research before beginning work on her composition Universe. Wanting to know how many stars and galaxies are in our universe, she came across estimates by renowned astronomers: 200 billion trillion stars and 2 trillion galaxies. Such dizzying numbers are simply beyond our human comprehension. Universe begins with a swelling opening chord, which directs our gaze into the sky. Then Rehnqvist portrays this dizzy sense of awe by means of tumbling glissandi, rhythmic off-beats that disrupt the meter, secondary clusters stacked on top of each other, and babbling speech. Eschewing major/minor tonality, she instead makes use of pentatonic series and different tonal centers. This work is ideal for ambitious amateur choirs, as the pentatonic series are easy to memorize while the skillful voice leading makes it easy to correctly pitch the clusters. A great piece for anyone wanting an accessible and realizable introduction to contemporary vocal music and advanced performance techniques!For budding astronomers, Karin Rehnqvist recommends the following website:https://theconversation.com/how-many-stars-are-there-in-space-165370

Following the same compositional style of his choral hit “Connected,” this piece carries the message that everything changes and nothing remains but change. Each part gets their own unique melody and they each sound like a chant from a spiritual or a folk song or even the blues. It has that preachiness that can only come from an old wise person that everyone admires and loves. And on top of that it is so fun to sing, and it makes people stop and listen. Easy for high school and community choirs.
