'for the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain'for junior-upper voice SSSA Choir and Double SATB Choir a cappella (Score)Commissioned by the National Youth Choirs of Great BritainText is by Arthur W. E. O'Shaughnessy, adapted by Jessica Duchen.Composer's NoteWhen the National Youth Choirs of Great Britain requested a short piece for their gala concert at Birmingham's Symphony Hall, I was particularly excited about the prospect of writing for 300 singers. A recent research trip to Estonia resulted in somewhat of a revelation: having heard and seen their world-renowned choirs in action (literally!) has resulted in We are the Music-Makers having the less mainstream 'surround-sound' of upper voices/junior choir at the back and sides of the audience and a further stereophonic double-choir on stage.This poem was sent to me by Tim Williams (my ex Head of English at school), and immediately seemed to fit this occasion. This text has already been set magnificently by Elgar, so partly to avoid any kind of comparison and also to bring its timeless message up to date, I asked my poet friend Jessica Duchen to give it a sligtly more contemporary feel.A poem about global music-making (which ties in with the NYCGB's recent World-Music CD), it speaks about humankind, nation to nation, and the mention of Babel inspiring a 'speakng of tongues' effect by using as many different international words for 'music' as possible as an accompaniment (not an easy task, as many of them are similar to our own word!). These are: French (Musique), Romanian (Muzica), Swahili (Mahewa), Polish (Muzka), Estonian (Muusika), German (Muzik), Japanese (Ongaku), and Spanish (Música). / Choeur Mixte (SSAATTBB) A Cappella

POD-Upheld By Stillness is a work for Unaccompanied SSSAATTBB Choir by composer Owain Park. A setting of the poem 'The World' by Kathleen Raine the piece lasts around 6 and a half minutes. Park describes the work as 'A reflection on the Sanctus and Benedictus from the Mass for five voices by William Byrd ' ...Some echoes of Byrd's music are incorporated in the piece including two sections marked 'quasi Hosanna' but the composer focuses mainly on creating various effective bi-tonal chord clashes to generate an appropriate atmosphere for the cosmic theme of the poem complete with star-like 'flickering'. - Geoffrey Webber Choir& Organ Magazine   

A new and simple arrangement of the famous prayer joins the existing repertoire with rich harmony and strong melodic line.

Jan Krutul, ein junger polnischer Komponist, spielt mit der gregorianischen Oster-Sequenz und vertont den Text auf zeitgenössische Weise. Fließende Teile umschließen einen Staccato-Mittelteil. Die Textverteilung führt zu perkussiven Passagen, die sich jedoch wieder in flächiger Struktur einfinden. Die Sequenz zieht sich durch das gesamte Stück, das durchaus anspruchsvoll ist, sich aber bestens als Einstieg in die zeitgenössische Chormusik eignet. / Choeur SSAATTBB
