Choral SATB Choir

SKU: CF.CM9654

Composed by Mark Burrows. Fold. Performance Score. 12 pages. Duration 4:15. Carl Fischer Music #CM9654. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9654).

ISBN 9781491157268. UPC: 680160915828. 6.875 x 10.5 inches. Key: Ab major. English, English. Julian of Norwich (1342-1416).

Burrows's setting of words of assurance from the English mystic Julian of Norwich (1342-1416) is as relevant today as ever. For the advanced mixed ensemble, the powerful lyrics coupled with gorgeous harmonies make this an optimistic song of hope appropriate throughout the year.
All shall be well, And all shall be well, And all manner of thing shall be well. These words of assurance from the English mystic Julian of Norwich (1342-1416) are as relevant today as ever. During her life, Julian saw her community devastated by the Great Plague as well as deep civil unrest. Yet through all the turmoil came a vision of hope that has given the world this profound text. One of the most striking features is how this short text incorporates so much repetition. It's as if the writer knew she must be gently persistent in order for her optimistic message to truly sink in. The opening section tries to capture musically some of that persistent optimism. Then there is a departure from this optimistic tone (measure 26) The feel becomes more desperate, building to an anguished cry (measure 38), acknowledging the reality that, while all shall be well, things are very much NOT well right now. Eventually the anguish subsides (measure 52) as the music turns back hopeward with the calm assurance, again and again, that all shall be well.

ISBN 9788759859292. 8.25x11.75x0.119 inches.

Jorgen Jersild's music is always marked by a timbral refinement with a certain inspiration from Cesar Franck and a persistently seamless musical timing. His early works sit in the intersection between the Danish and French traditions, whose inspirations he later synthesized into his own personal style, as can be heard in Three Romantic Songs for Chorus , composed in 1971. Jorgen Jersild (1913-2004) was a Danish composer and pedagogue. He studied in Paris and at the University of Copenhagen, before becoming a teacher at the Royal Danish Academy of Music for over thirty years. During this time he wrote several successful textbooks on solfege and musical theory.

It is a child's poem to see the first star and make a wish that has been set to music. Most importantly, the music does not get in the way. The youthfulness and hope persists. Best of all is a place when singers can step forward and state their wish, bringing the piece into more than a song - an experience. Uniquely wonderful.

SATB choir, horn in F or cello, and organ - Early Intermediate

SKU: MN.80-712

Composed by Julian Darius Revie. Ordination/Installation, 21st Century. MorningStar Music Publishers #80-712. Published by MorningStar Music Publishers (MN.80-712).

UPC: 688670807121. English. John 17:17-18.

John 17:17–18, from the High Priestly Prayer of Jesus, is the communion antiphon for Episcopal ordinations and a fitting text for other ordinations, installations, or commissioning. Composer Julian Revie has a skill for sensitivity to the text, and begins this prayer with hushed homophonic writing, gently supported by organ and French horn. The piece builds slowly but persistently, breaking into polyphonic, imitative writing, and reaches a dramatic fortissimo before tapering to the end.

Arranged by Rosephanye Powell. Christian. Octavo. Celebrating Grace #810005. Published by Celebrating Grace
