The logging industry of Rib Lake in northern Wisconsin faded away 70 years ago, but echoes of that era remain today. Echoes in the Woods depicts the large mechanized logging camps of that earlier time, and also the quiet beauty of the forests and lakes in the region today. Using an overture format and a sense of bold adventure, this work features exciting rhythmic passages contrasted with a flowing and lyrical middle section. Dur: 4:55.

In 1917 two ships collided in the harbor of Halifax, Canada. The resulting explosion devastated most of the city. Echoes of the Silent is a hymn that pays homage to those who perished and to the resilient souls who survived. This music is reverent and reflective, with emotional ebbs and swells and an eventual build to a stirring theme of hope and inner strength. Ideal as a festival or memorial piece, this work is an opportunity for your ensemble to explore softer dynamics, expression and nuance. Dur: 5:05.

If you are looking to work on the musicality of your ensemble this year, look no further than this beautiful new piece from composer George Sweet.

An elegant choice for your next concert or festival performance.
The title, A Silent Echo, refers to the lasting influence, or echo, that a singular event can have on the period of time following it. These echoes can result from events which range from triumphant to tragic. The resulting echo has a lasting influence, which can still be felt, on both private and public levels, long after the causal event has transpired. The piece opens with a series of inverted pyramid chords. Make sure that each voice is balanced properly with the others, so that all of the notes of the resulting chord blend together evenly. The main theme appears at m. 9 in the first violins. Once again, be careful to balance this section so that the resulting dissonances fit within the chord. The second violins play the melody at m. 19, which leads to a short B-section at m. 29. Be careful not to lose momentum when playing the pyramid chords directly preceding the B-material. After both A- and B-themes are presented again, new material occurs at m. 54 and leads the piece through a vibrant C-section that reaches a climax at m. 63. Both A- and B-themes are then restated which brings the piece to a quiet and subdued close.

This collection of reflections on life and God’s word flows from our shared faith in the Incarnation, our coming to believe that when God spoke, it was not a one-time occurrence. God’s Word-made-flesh continues to echo across every generation, in every culture and every people. Occasionally people of faith will detect it echoing in their own lives, or as the poet Gerard Manley Hopkins noted, they will recognize it “like shining from shook foil.” This volume is an ideal companion for small group scripture study, preaching preparation, and personal reflection and inspiration.

As the title implies, Angel Echoes uses a lot of echo effects throughout, and is based on the interval of a descending perfect fifth. The piece begins with a lush statement of the subtle angel theme, which is used throughout the piece and ultimately as the climactic material later in the work. With teachable material steeped in musicality, this remarkable new work for developing ensembles will not disappoint.
