The aged Simeon takes the new-born Jesus in his arms, recognises his significance and celebrates this moment in a paean of praise as the fulfilment of his life. In Matsushita's motet this song of praise, the nunc dimittis, stands at the centre of the composition. Here, the triad of C-F sharp-G, used for the word hodie - today at the beginning, symbolically combines with a Gregorian-like motif, revolving around the central note of B flat in whole-tone movement, and which is used to represent the Virgin Mary. The work ends with a mystical wash of sound, a whole-tone cluster which emerges from the aleatorically repeated basic motifs of the work, and fades away to nothing.

O, when I was in love with you, begins the cheeky A.E. Housman poem about love that’s left behind—on purpose. Open fifth drones on la la la recall the sturdy peasant sound of a hurdy-gurdy, while the larky melody in 6/8 time is a modern tribute to medieval dance tunes.

Matsushita's setting of a hymn for Pentecost is a dialog between women's choir and piano: while the choir develops its melodies from the Gregorian hymn, the piano provides a counterpoint with the minimalistic sounds of fourth and fifths, together with short independent motives related to the text of the hymn. Corresponding to the chorale, the meter changes continually, as if floating. The choir is treated homophonically throughout and, in preparation for the climax of the piece it is briefly divided into six parts at the words pacemque dones protinus (true peace bring unto us). One again Matsushita proves himself a master of economy in his use of compositional means; thus his works of new church music are appealing, effective, and they express humility.

1955 erschien aus der Hand der franzosischen Nonne Carmen Bernos de Gaszold ein Gedichtband unter dem Titel Prieres dans l'Arche - Gebete aus der Arche. Diese Gebete werden den Tieren in den Mund gelegt, die mit Noah, in der drangvollen Enge der Arche vereint, das Ende der Sintflut erwarten. Die Dichterin folgt einer Tradition - man denkt an Asop, La Fontaine und Goethe - wenn sie im Wesen der Kreaturen Spiegelungen menschlicher Schwachen, Fehler und Tugenden erkennt. Denn die in der Wasserwuste gefangenen Tiere reden so fromm, furchtsam, selbstgerecht und banal, wie es menschlich ware. Und auch das Allzumenschliche - Hoffart, Leichtsinn, Neid - kommt zu Wort. Nur dass die Ichbefangenheit der betenden Tiere ihrer Unschuld keinen Abbruch tut. Ihre bedingte und bedrangte Natur findet Gedanken, die uns ein sympathisierendes Lacheln abgewinnt. Der Zyklus schien mir zur Vertonung geeignet, weil er ein religioses Thema unpratentios und originell vortragt und ein Stuck ermoglicht, das die ubliche Trennung zwischen weltlich und geistlich uberschreitet und Konzertsaal und Kirche in Anspruch nehmen kann. Zur Besetzung: Der Frauenchor muss aus den vier ublichen Stimmlagen 1. und 2. Sopran, 1. und 2. Alt bestehen, wobei auch noch Stimmteilungen vorkommen. In Nr. 9 Gebet der Taube wird noch ein (aus dem Chor zu bildendes) Soloquartett gebraucht. Der Instrumentalpart besteht aus einer Oboe und einem Streicherquintett (1. und 2. Violine, Viola, Violoncello und Kontrabass). Die Besetzung soll solistisch sein, kann aber bei den Streichern (und wenn die Klangbalance zum Chor dies wunschenswert macht) zu einem kleinen Kammerorchester erweitert werden. Der Charakter der Instrumente, ihre Techniken und Farben, erlauben mir realistische Klangmetaphern und physiognomische Parallelen - so, wenn das Cello im Duett mit dem Alt die hochmutige Giraffe in grossintervalligen Sprungen deutet, die rasende Geschaftigkeit der Ameise sich in schnellen Violinbariolagen ausdruckt oder die Oboe ein naturalistisches Rabengekrachz horen lasst. Der Zyklus beginnt mit dem Gebet des Noah. Man stelle sich das Gedrange und Geschrei vor, dass die Arche erfullt, die hochgehenden Wogen, den prasselnden Regen, und mitten darin den Urvater Noah, dem sich der Ausruf entringt: Herr, was fur ein Zirkus! Seine Ausbruche korrespondieren mit dem auf- und niederwogenden Streichersatz, bis der Sturm sich legt, die Wogen sich glatten und Noah in der mehrmals gedehnten Phrase Es dauert lange seine Ergebung und Hoffnung ausdruckt. Nach dem pharisaischen Gebet der Giraffe ergreift die Schildkrote das Wort. Ihr Instrument ist die Bratsche. Ihre schnaufende Kurzatmigkeit hindert sie, ihr Gebet zusammenhangend zu sprechen. Der fleissigen Ameise - sie erbost sich sehr uber die Grille, deren Wirtshausmusik sie unterbricht - folgt der Hahn mit hellen und scharfen Tonen. Er ist es, der die Sonne aufgehen lasst; man kann es in dem sich auffaltenden Klang der Coda horen. Der vergessliche Schmetterling taumelt in immer neu variierten Oboenfiguren durch die glasernen Sommerklange von Streicherflageoletts, bis es ihm einfallt, was er sagen wollte: Amen. Das Schwein bekennt sich zu seiner schnuffelnden und grunzenden Natur, die, von den Streichern mit rauhem Bogendruck gezeichnet, in der Coda durch eine stille F-Dur-Kantilene eine sonderbare Verklarung erfahrt. Vor uns die Sintflut ruft der Rabe, und sein durchdringender Oboenschrei ubertont das Wogen und Schwanken der Streicher, die hier Motive aus dem Gebet des Noah wieder aufnehmen. In der darauf eintretenden Stille bieten die Instrumente verschiedene Themen an, die folgenlos verschwinden - um nach dem Altsolo Die Arche wartet sich in einem ruhig-feierlichen a-cappella-Satz mit alternierendem Soloquartett wieder zusammenzufinden und das Werk in reinem Es-Dur beschliessen. Alfred Koerppen.

Winner of Honorable Mention in the 2020 King's Singers New Music Prize, Marianne Forman's sparkling music sets James Weldon Johnson's text about singing through adversity: ...and if the way grows darker still, shadowed by Sorrow's somber wing, with glad defiance in my throat, I pierce the darkness with a note, and sing..., ...no nights are dark, no days are long, while in my heart there swells a song, and I can sing. Deeply encouraging, and suitable for a variety of performance situations, especially as choirs work through the events of 2020. Also available for SATB.

Giovanni Gabrieli's Se cantano gl'augelli comes from a collection of madrigals entitled Il trionfo di Dori. Each madrigal is scored for six voices and each ends with the text Viva la bella Dori (Long live fair Dori). This late sixteenth-century collection of madrigals enjoyed great success and was the model of the famous English collection of madrigals entitled, The Triumphes of Oriana. The GIA Historical Music Series edited by Dennis Shrock, presents repertoire suitable for performance by public school, college and university, church, and community ensembles, with the purpose of making available to today’s conductors lesser-known and previously difficult-to-procure historical masterpieces. The music, drawn from the Renaissance through the Romantic eras, is in performance editions based on the most current and rigorous scholarly research. The musical scores reflect original intent of notation, with all editorial markings and emendations clearly identified as such. In addition, preface material accompanying the music contains literal translations of foreign language texts and information regarding the lives of the composers, genres, and relevant performance practices. Dennis Shrock is Director of Choral Activities at Texas Christian University. He has been called one of the top choral scholars in the United States and has received a number of awards for his work. He received a bachelor's degree in music education from Westminster Choir College and both master's and doctoral degrees in choral conducting from Indiana University. .
