Jeg har ogsa i dette stykke forsogt at introducere staerke folelsesmaessige udtryk, ved brug af instrumentale farver og tonale virkemidler. Titlen Hush er forbundet med et slags indre digt jeg har haft i tankerne medens jeg komponerede. Da jeg jo ikke er digter i ord, er det ufuldstaendigt og utilstraekkeligt i sin form, men derfor alligevel meget godt beskrivende for stykkets vaesen. Det lyder nogenlunde sadan her i mit hoved:Hush little heart- hush.!!was time running too fast or did the hours sometimesseem long?,Were your beats too many or were they too few in the end?Hush little heart- hushdid you see too little or did you sometimes see too much?,was life too small or was it sometimes larger than life?was your thirst quenched or did you end up drained?hush, hush, little heart- hush!!,Don't be afraid, maybe you knew all the time:that one day you would have to be still-or maybe you didn't?Is that why you were beating so fast?hush, hush little heart-hush,- be comforted, 'cause even as you feel so small Your very existence is strange and beautiful - so, hush, hush, be comforted, be still my beating heart.

The word primal is defined as relating to an early stage in development or basic, fundamental, essential, elemental. Imagine this tune challenging your players who fit that definition.
Many young and developing musicians experience difficulty with mastering rhythmic accuracy with confidence. Yet, rhythm is essential to music performance. Student proficiency in reading rhythmic figures and being able to move comfortably from one meter to another should be a goal of the orchestra director. This work provides rhythmic challenges and uses multiple meter changes to create interesting, appealing, and unique rhythmic textures.

This is the best of me, wrote Edward Elgar after the final measure of his Dream of Gerontius. Premiered in 1900, in Great Britain the work has long been a standard work in the repertoire of large oratorio choirs. Elgar's moving, poetic setting of the eponymous poem by Cardinal John Henry Newman is about a dying man and his journey beyond death to God. Before the eyes of the listeners, a musical image of the soul is created which flies past mocking demons to God with its protecting angel at its side, is allowed to look at God briefly, then faces the purgatory confident and comforted. The work is a real rarity in the history of oratorio, and for large choirs it is a thrilling alternative to the established repertoire of Requiem settings. Its popularity is thanks to the suggestive, often sensuous power of the music, the great choral scenes of the demons and the angels, and the three impressive solo parts.All previous editions were reprints based on the historic first printed materials, which are inconsistent. By contrast, Carus has produced a modern, newly-engraved edition, compatible in all sections, which takes all the sources into consideration and evaluates the autograph manuscript in detail. For this edition the complete orchestral material is available on sale, and the vocal score and full score contain both English and German singing texts.
