To celebrate 25 years of excellence and promotion of new concert works, the New York Virtuoso Singers commissioned 25 contemporary composers for 25 new choral works, all of which now appear on their recording, 25 X 25: Twenty-Five Premieres for Twenty-Five Years. Among the 25 is Richard Wernick's The Devil's Game. Here, Wernick uses The Devil's Verse, a Latin palindrome that still puzzles us today as to its meaning, and appropriately embraces repetitive use of the verse in a musical palindrome of his own.The text is a palindrome (in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni), a rather mysterious one called The Devil’s Verse. Its origin is vague (probably Roman, but possibly Medieval) and it does not surrender its meaning easily; many scholars have fussed over it. It is a riddle as well as a palindrome, in other words a puzzle within a puzzle. My preferred translation, without going into the niceties of Latin grammar, is “We enter the circle at night and are consumed by fire.â€This music is also a palindrome, the outer parts of which are homophonic, while the turning around point in the center (where the basses enter for the first time) is a brief double canon.

A text by Lisa M. Clark set for SATB and piano by Jeffrey Blersch. The text was inspired by the parable of the dishonest manager (Luke 16:1 - 13) and will help Christians wrestle with the concepts of living in a broken world to make an eternal difference. The music presents a warm melodic setting of the text, and each choral part gets to sing the melody.
Look with eyes that see forever,Faithful to the Lord's design.Work within the world, but neverChoose its call o'er things divine.Nothing on this earth can sever You from love that will refine,You from love that will refine.
Serve with hands that toil unceasing,Diligent in great and small.With the Kingdom's realm increasing,Rob the devil's lair of all.Joyous souls, their bonds releasing,Sing their rescue from the fall,Sing their rescue from the fall.
Love with hearts that will not waverUnderneath the fearsome fight.Show the weary Jesus' favor, Won to make creation right. By all means, bring all to savorMercies rich and glories bright,Mercies rich and glories bright.

Homilius is known for having always searched for new forms in order to avoid any schematic pattern. Thus, one looks in vain in the present cantata for arias. The opening choir is introduced by two choral groups: One calls to take up the fight against the devil, while the other fearfully hesitates and finally, in the chorale Jesus Christus, wohn uns bei agrees to join in. Following each of the three stanzas of the embellished chorale, in a recitative the hesitant one is given courage before he also takes up arms, in a confident final chorus. Score available separately - see item CA.3721900.

Viatonten valssi (The Waltz of the Innocents) is one of Kostiainen's most popular works for mixed choir. It is based on the ironic text by Aaro Hellaakoski in which miniature devils and angels meet and join in dance in the midst of a summer night.
