This piece uses the organ to replicate the tonal timbre of the khaen (or khene), a Thai mouth organ played like the harmonica and possessing a strong, reedy tonal quality similar to the Chinese sheng. Enrich the sound of your choir with the aural landscape of Thailand, blessing God’s name through songs of praise from the beauty of Asian culture.

Text: Angier Brock.
SATB Chorus, Organ Duration: 7' Text: Angier Brock Composed: 2010 Published by: Subito Music Publishing YouTube: Ms. Brock’s moving poem is lyrical throughout. Even in its beautiful originality, the poem invokes The Book of Common Prayer and biblical scripture (the latter through references to dust and breath from Genesis 2 to the final line of the poem invoking the opening of Psalm 62). Ms. Brock’s poetry is also filled with wonderful twists on traditional texts (such as in the creative and reverse naming of the Trinity in speaking of Inventing Wind, Generous Christ, and Luminous God). Musically, the main melodic material of the piece is immediately heard on a solo organ color accompanied by organ strings over a recurring pedal pulse on the pitch C. The chorus soon enters with the first stanza of the text. As this stanza unfolds, the harmony starts to gradually change as the pulsing pedal rhythm begins to move upward by step. An organ interlude, reflective of the opening introduction, soon emerges (though now over a C-sharp recurring pedal pulse), and leads to a similar choral setting as found in stanza one. As the poem’s second stanza moves forward, it eventually folds into the more harmonically rich stanza three. A fast, dance-like section evolves at Inventing Wind, what a lively dance your energy creates! eventually bringing the work to its climax point. The spirit of dance soon subsides and leads to a quiet and gentle close on the words …for you alone my soul in silence waits. Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

This creative setting of the familiar African-American spiritual Deep River places a traditional, major melody within a harmonically minor context. This approach allows two contrasting ideas to be juxtaposed: the oppressiveness of slavery (depicted by the ponderous piano accompaniment) and the hope of deliverance (inherent in the melody itself). The result of this conflict directs our thoughts to a personal longing for eternal peace. 8 pages Published by: Zimbel Press Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

There are very few composers who have left such a comprehensive oeuvre covering all genres as Camille Saint-Saens. His vocal music, however, has rather fallen into oblivion - if one leaves aside his 'indestructible' Christmas oratorio (Oratorio de Noel, Opus 12). But apart from that, Saint-Saens, who worked as an organist at various churches from 1852, composed a number of little church music works: settings for different instrumentations, certainly destined to be used in services, including his Ave verum for four-part choir (including organ without pedal ad lib.). It is a simple, yet harmonically rich setting which constitutes a valuable addition to the choral repertoire and an evocative alternative to the common Ave settings.

Like a cozy sweater on a cold day, this original wintertime poem juxtaposes warmth with chills. Imagine the opening descending motive as the first falling flake and the eventual musical layers as accumulating snow. Each voice part sings in the sweet spot of their tessitura to garner rich choral tone. A harmonically vivid bridge creates contrast and offers a flurry of beauty in the piano, as singers realize the beautiful snowflakes are fleeting, all too soon they fade away. Delicate yet deep, simple yet stunning. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Beide Kanons sind im strengen Stil gehalten, wirken aber ganz unterschiedlich: Wahrend der erste das Stromen des Flusses in tonaler Harmonik illustriert, versinnbildlicht der zweite (fur Frauenchor gedachte) Kanon wildes Tratschen durch Klangballungen und Akzentverschiebungen. Die ungarischen, deutschen und englischen Sprachvarianten haben jeweils einen ganz eigenen sprachlichen Reiz.

This is an SATB a cappella setting of this perennially favorite religious text (John 14: 15-17, King James Version). Commissioned by The Elders (independent global leaders working together for peace and human rights) as a parting gift to Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Although the presentation took place in 2013 the work did not receive its first performance until 2018, by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, conducted by Paul Spicer. Composed in predominantly homophonic style, and harmonically chromatic yet without extreme dissonance, this offering from a leading composer will be seized upon by choirs of intermediate standard and above.
