To benefit Chorus America, Stucky allowed himself to be auctioned off as a prize - the high bidder would receive a new work from the composer. After a few years and not really hearing anything, Stucky suddenly found himself up against a deadline. He reached back to a favorite poem by A.R. Ammons, Eyesight, which, he says, Won't let...his reader rest till the very last word...one of those sudden insights that leave us breathless..
This piece has an odd history. A few years ago, I agreed to be one of the“prizes” in an auction to benefit Chorus America: the highest bidder wouldget a new piece from me, while their money went to the organization. Thewinning bid came from a collection of several professional choruses anddirectors. But I was always a little vague about the details, and, hearingnothing more about it for a few years, forgot the whole thing.One day I received a message from Thomas Edward Morgan, directorof the Ars Nova Chamber Singers in Boulder: they had scheduled thepremiere of my new piece for a few weeks later, and could they have themusic, please? I needed a text, quickly, and (as usual) I was in a Los Angeleshotel room, not at home with my books. So I turned to the internet andsoon tracked down my favorite poet, A.R. Ammons (1926-2001).Once I stumbled on “Eyesight,” I remembered having loved the poemyears before. Archie must have loved it, too, because he included it bothin his Collected Poems 1951-1971 and in the later Selected Poems. It haseverything you want in an Archie Ammons poem: what Edward Hirschcalled his “offbeat, sideways, unpredictable radiance,” his “homespunglory.â� � It has one of his trademark conversations with a mountain (perhapsfrom his native North Carolina), it has the fluid motion from one line tothe next (enjambment, if you want to get technical) that won’t let him orhis reader rest till the very last word of the very last line, and it has in thatlast line one of those sudden insights that leave us breathless: “some thingsthat go are gone.”I miss Archie, but he’s not gone. I’m grateful for the wonderful poems heleft us, and I’m grateful that he was always generous and kind when I hadthe chutzpah to add my music to his.

Calming. Ethereal. Delicate. Peaceful. These are only a few words to describe this offering from Carlton Young. Not a difficult composition, but the choir needs to be confident maneuvering a few unexpected intervals in the chant-like melody against a sparse keyboard accompaniment. The brevity of the piece makes it quite useful when a call to worship or centering prayer is needed.

SSATB Choir, Piano - Level 3

SKU: CA.925300

Composed by Gabriel Faure. Arranged by Denis Rouger. Separate edition to the CD. Lieder, Secular choral music. Full Score. Op. 83,1. Duration 2 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 09.253/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.925300).

ISBN M-007-24915-1. Key: E minor. Language: French. Text: Verlaine, Paul.

Paul Verlaine spent 555 days in prison because he had shot his fellow poet and companion Arthur Rimbaud with a revolver whilst in a drunken state. This spell in prison evidently fostered his artistic inspiration, so at least it did his literary career some good. The world of French literature even gave Verlaine the unofficial title Prince des Poetes. In the poem Prison the author was able to draw on his very own experiences: the monotony behind bars (expressed musically in Gabriel Faure's setting through the repeated target note of b), the inner rebelling against this monotonous stillness (surprising forte dynamic), and the reproachful self-questioning: Was hast du getan? ... Was hast du mit deiner Jugend getan? [What have you done? ... What have you done with your youth?] (diminishing piano). Denis Rouger, founder and director of the figure humaine chamber choir, has arranged art songs for solo voice and piano for his ensemble, in the process carefully adapting these to the needs and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble. Music edition for the successful CD Kennst du das Land... (Carus 83.495).

This text from an old Southern folk hymn is given new original music in this anthem setting for SATB, cello, and piano. The piano part can easily be adapted to organ. The voice parts are accessible. The tenors and basses do sing a verse alone, but in unison to two parts. The sum total makes a sort of contemplative tapestry in which the cello moves in and out of the foreground and so do the voices. Set mostly in C minor, there is a middle section where the chorus sings wordlessly against the cello line and the emphasis shifts to E-flat major. Despite the despair in the text, there is also comfort and reassurance here.

Fire, Silver, Gold is an anthem suitable for general use, which was commissioned to mark the quatercentenary of one of the historic livery companies of the City of London, The Worshipful Company of Founders. Through a thoughtful combination of texts from Psalm 12 and from Zechariah 13, the composer celebrates the metal founder's craft in terms of salvation through the refining power of God's Word, as noble metals are tested against the purity of gold. Conveying a quietly reverent awe at this wondrous mystery, the music itself is a sublimation, in a clear two-part melodic design, of limpid harmonies and softly resolving discords that will inspire any choir able to pitch with confidence, and to project with profundity and conviction.

Around 1880, the inspiration for this text and tune came to a circuit-riding minister named Josiah Alwood while he was riding his horse! The revival-style tune is sweet and deserves to be better known. Speaking of a home far beyond the skies, this anthem is perfect for All Saints or memorial occasions. Featuring three males soloists (low, medium and high voices) sometimes set against standard SATB writing, this is fun to learn and sing.

UPC: 785147863403. English. Text Source: 'Ave Maris Stella,' medieval Latin, tr. John Lingard, 1771-1851, alt.; Translation: John Lingard.

The juxtaposition of the medieval Latin text “Ave Maris Stella” against a modern gospel groove will have your congregation sitting up and taking note! This wonderfully fresh treatment is primarily unison with brief repeated sections for SATB choir. Easily learned, but immensely rewarding for congregation and choir alike.

The autograph contains no reference to accompaniment by instruments, and a purely vocal performance of the work would doubtless be completely appropriate. On the other hand, nothing speaks against instrumental support of the voices, as it is known from the performance practice of Johann Sebastian Bach.

Richard Allain presents a beautifully sombre and gentle setting of the Salve Regina for SSAATTBB chorus. Allain's close harmonies are set across a staggered texture, creating a seamless continuous halo of sound with each syllable melding into the next. The effect is developed as the density of the music builds, allowing each singer a level of metric freedom that allows a series of repeating phrases to blur into an undulating layer of sound against which the lower voices sing. A captivating and hugely atmospheric devout setting.

Gentle triple rhythmic patterns and supple polyphony underscore the symbolism of water as taught in John 4:13-14.The mid-voice vocal ranges create a sweet homogeneity, dramatically contrasted against angular melodic lines and sudden harmonic shifts at the text ...thus says the Lord. This work is especially appropriate for the service of baptism.
