Never Again is an exploration of choral sound fields in two contrasting settings of the same wistful text by the English pre-modernist Thomas Hardy (1840-1928). In the first movement the fields are built around a phonetic breakdown of the text, while in the second the text is treated more conventionally but is distributed linearly between the voices. Published in the Chorus series (Ch 101).

From unison to full 4-part harmony, the gradual amassing of forces adds interest and passion to this essential work. The final statement of the chant brings the piece to a glorious conclusion. Much of the piece is a cappella, but piano reductions and closed-score writing make it easy to double the voices for support, if needed.

While not a highly liturgical text, this song can find great resonance for all who long for a simpler life that focuses on the presence of the Spirit, uncluttered by too many words and ceaseless activity. The words challenge us to make space for God and, in so doing, make space for others—a space where the creative Spirit of God may act. The choral writing moves from unison to 4-part textures with ample opportunity for solo voices.

This work based on poetry by Emily Dickinson uses the text to act as a philisophical motto to the music itself, choral voices are used a source of textual richness and produce wide, harmonic paragraphs.

Michael Perza is well regarded in lutirgical music circles for choral works that are lyrical, a pleasure to perform, easy to learn, and enjoyable to listen to. This sweet a cappella Christmas anthem presents the verses in a four-part hymn-like texture, the refrain employs moving contrapuntal lines in the three lower voices with expressive dynamic shading. A gift for both singers and listeners!
