In The Essence of Youth the composer gives an insight into childhood and youth — inspired by his own daughter. The opening of sparking rhythms, dynamic contrasts and changes of time signature paint a vivid picture of the unpredictability of children. The first and second movements recount the love — and also tension and the worries — in the adult-child bond, through dissonant harmonies but also pretty melodies. The fugue-like ending leads to a final splendid chorale: a picture of proud parents with their child!

In The Essence of Youth geeft de componist zijn visie op de kindertijd en de jeugd. Zijn eigen dochter vormde hierbij een belangrijke inspiratiebron. De opening staat met opgewekte ritmes, dynamische contrasten en maatsoortwisselingenvoor de spontaniteit van kinderen. Het eerste en tweede deel vertellen over de liefde, zorg en toewijding die horen bij een ouder-kindrelatie. Met dissonante harmonieen, maar ook met mooie melodieen weet de componist ditprachtig te verbeelden. Een fuga leidt ten slotte naar een prachtig koraal: de trotse ouders met hun kind verbeeldend.

In The Essence of Youth beschreibt der Komponist sein Bild von Kindheit und Jugend - inspiriert von seiner eigenen Tochter. Die Eroffnung steht mit aufgeweckten Rhythmen, dynamischen Kontrasten, Taktartwechseln fur die Unberechenbarkeit von Kindern. Der erste und zweite Satz erzahlen mit dissonanten Harmonien, aber auch mit schonen Melodien von Spannungen, Liebe und Sorge in der Eltern-Kind-Beziehung. Den Schluss bildet eine Fuge, die zu einem prachtvollen Choral fuhrt: ein Bild stolzer Eltern mit ihrem Kind!

Cette composition reflete ce que le compositeur considere comme les caracteristiques typiques de la jeunesse : une melodie eclatante pleine de rythmes vifs, des contrastes dynamiques et des changements de tempi qui se combinent pour symboliser l'energie debordante des enfants, ainsi que la tension entre parents et enfant. Un passage lyrique exprime l'amour parental par des lignes melodiques tres subtiles. Les notes s'egrenent, le charme opere !

The Essence of Youth e un brano che riflette cio che il compositore, ispirato da sua figlia, considera come le caratteristiche tipiche della gioventu. Un'ouverture spettacolare nella quale contrasti dinamici e dai ritmi vivaci si susseguono come a simboleggiare la straordinaria energia dei bambini. Il primo movimento, sulla scia dell'introduzione, anticipa una parte di solo che accompagna al secondo movimento, testimonianza dell'amore infinito dei genitori nei confronti dei figli. Una fuga basata sul tema iniziale contraddistingue il terzo movimento che conduce all'apoteosi finale.

Featuring selected titles by Richard Proulx, Chris de Silva, Rob Galea, Tony Alonso, and Michael Doyle. In his new collection Liam Lawton explores the role of angels in our lives. Voices of Angels is a prayer ritual that invites the listener into a deeper understanding of the gift and presence of God’s angels. Some of the songs in this edition were newly composed to enhance the writings and reflections of this project, while others had already existed in the life of the Church. Through the interweaving of Scripture, inspired writing, music, and prayer, Voices of Angels creates an opportunity for communities to gather outside of the regular celebration of the Eucharist for reflection and prayer in another age-old worship tradition—but in a contemporary setting. The tradition of our church has always accorded angels a very large place in its theology. Many saints have written about or referenced the presence of the angels. At various pivotal moments in the history of salvation, the angels were present. Their duty was—and is—to lead all of humankind toward the realization of the kingdom of God.

I rise on, upward forever, gathering strength, gaining breath, from the spirit of life. A simple melody gradually unfolds over a gentle piano accompaniment, growing into a full, four-part texture expressing Margaret Fuller's uplifting text. Written with emerging ensembles in mind, the vocal ranges are conservative and the melodies are singable. Part-dominant MP3 practice tracks are available as multi-user bundles (includes all parts for the selected arrangement and allows file sharing within the choir) as well as single-user versions (licensed to the purchaser only, file sharing is prohibited). The accompaniment MP3 download includes both a fully produced version and a piano-only version.  .

To love anyone is to risk the loss of that love. Poet Yehuda Halevi calls this a human thing, a holy thing. Sean Ivory's musical setting is mysterious and steady, and captures the painful joy of this idea. An incredibly beautiful and tender work for SSAA choirs.
