In 2014, Chanticleer commissioned me to make a new arrangement of the Hungarian-Romani folk song Jarba, Mare Jarba for their 2014 touring program. Passed down orally through the Romani communities, this beautiful folk song, with text in a language called Beas (beh-osh), speaks of a deep longing to visit one's homeland, a place where the singer can never return. Chanticleer consists of twelve men whose vocal ranges span from low bass to high soprano, equivalent to the range of a mixed choir of women and men. I composed slow sections of original material to represent the singers' longing to return home; these are interspersed with the folk song's traditional fast sections. The incorporated shouts and calls in the score are typically found in the performance of Central European folk songs. I hope you enjoy singing this new version of Jarba, Mare Jarba that contains all of the vigor and excitement of the Chanticleer version. PERFORMANCE NOTES All spoken sounds (indicated by x noteheads) should be performed by individuals. Feel free to elaborate with more sounds of your own in the tradition of Eastern European folk music. If the piece is memorized, feel free to experiment with clapping on the off-beats of m. 93 to the end.

Here's a cute, quick (two-minute) rendition of the Michael Bublé hit. Heartfelt lyrics recognize that despite living in crazy times, a special person in your life makes it worthwhile. No solo or vocal percussion required---this contemporary a cappella arrangement covers the tune with the choir and incorporates aspirated chk's as built-in rhythm. Additionally, doom's in the lowest voice part layout a supportive bass line, and a catchy La la refrain stays in the ear long after the final cutoff. Equally effective with large groups or small ensembles.

ISBN 9790070111836. Text: Bengt Pohjanen / from the Ordinary Mass.
For soprano, bass, mixed chorus and orchestra. Lyrics from the death mass and by Bengt Pohjanen in English translation by John Hearne.Fredrik Sixten: When my dear friend Patrik Runeke became seriously ill and died - only 37 years old - feelings and thoughts concering life and death overwhelmed me. It was natural for me to turn to Bengt Pohjanen, with whom I had collaborated earlier, to ask him to formulate: * words of anger and of gratitude * words of guilt and of forgiveness * words of consolation, of love and hope.These words of Bengt's, in combination with the classical texts from the Latin Requiem Mass, form a kind of testament to mankind's yearning for unity and perfection. In the final movement, In Paradisum, this yearning is borne forth to the God whom Bengt describes as being: Wisdom deep and loving. Stronger than death. Order a free promotion CD below.
