Matthew Koraus has crafted a sturdy and very singable set of acclamations for the Eucharistic Prayer based on the hymn tune Diademata, ideal for the long season of Easter as well as Christ the King and other festive times. His adaptation of Elvey's hymn tune includes unexpected touches such as passing tones, rhythmic variations, and inventive harmonies, enabling the acclamations to remain fresh over time. Holy, Holy, Holy, all 3 Memorial Acclamations, and Amen are arranged for Assembly, Choir (in unison or with Descant), and Organ, with optional Two Trumpets or Brass Quartet.

In That Quiet Moment was written in memory of the composer's father. Grant Michel's heart-wrenching piece of reflection and sadness from the loss of a parent is rendered more poignant since the untimely passing of the composer himself. It is a wonderful piece to teach students emotional involvement in music and musicianship.

Merilainen's second orchestral concerto (the first dates from the 1950's) is a musical study of the concept of time. The strings provide an element of stasis, while other orchestral sections are used as active blocks. The extensive percussion section is used to discreetly mark the passing of time and plays on the edge of silence. The work's ending is bound together by a magical F sharp pedal-point in the horns.

Friedhelm Rentzsch, long a cellist in the Dresden Philharmonic, set Psalm 130, whose character of penitence is especially impressive here, through the reduction of the musical forces to a solo alto with orchestral accompaniment, and this in a most unique, urgent manner. Through the addition of a sombre text by Erich Arendt the subective manner of the song is placed in a worldly context encompassing all periods of time. Repeatedly, passages of a quiet character alternate with tutti phases which sometimes climax to passages employing clusters. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4075200.
