This piece shows all the hallmarks of Joel Martinson's expressive style. The text by Delores Dufner, OSB, is fresh and appealing as is the musical setting. The opening rhythmic theme supports the text of praise, while the quieter section illuminates words of thanksgiving. The piece concludes with a jubilant alleluia. The organ part is a major voice itself, providing an exciting impetus to the piece.

James Lindsay 's Sanbiki No Kashikoi Saru for three voices (SSA). Duration: 5 minutes Composed: 2003 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook, ISMN M 57036 603 3. Commissioned and first performed by Juice Vocal Ensemble at the York Spring Festival of New Music, 8th May 2003. The text for this piece is taken from the Japanese myth of the Three Wise Monkeys (sanbiki no kashikoi saru): ‘mi zaru, kika zaru, iwa zaru’ literally translates as ‘nothing seen, nothing heard, nothing said’, but is more commonly known as ‘see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil’. The piece itself came before the text and takes as its core influence from the music of the Japanese hip hop/drum andbass star DJ Krush, centering around a sample from his track ‘Trihedron’ from his 2002 album The Message at the Depth.

Morag Galloway 's Dream of You for three voices (SSA). Duration: 2 minutes Composed: 2004 Also published as part of UYMP's Songspin Songbook, ISMN M 57036 603 3. Dream of You sets Morag 's own poem and was commissioned by Juice for performance in a late night concert, 'the witching hour', in York Spring Festival, May 2004. The poem describes a dream in which a single night with someone is remembered. The compositional aim was to set the words as they came without repetition, and not to repeat any musical material either. This was to try to recreate the strange familiarity of this dream and attempt to let it unfold in ‘real time’; to be as fleeting as the original night itself.

This Celtic-inspired original is an exceptional testament to music, a powerful tool for human expression. Compelling lyrics come from the unique perspective of song itself, 'I am the spark that glows in you . . . the voice that grows in you . . . the hope that springs in you . . . the truth that rings in you. A lilting 6/8 meter and sweeping choral lines garner an epic effect and create an impressive opener, closer, or concert theme.
