Manmohan Ghose was a professor, poet, and brilliant scholar from Eastern India in the late 19th century. He was educated in London, and was one of the first poets originally from India to publish poetry in English. A Lament is one of his earliest published poems; it progresses with vivid, scenic language from lullaby to permanent goodbye. Much later in life, Manmohan experienced a series of family tragedies that gave him a unique perspective on grief. After returning to India to mourn his father's death and eventually the passing of his wife, he never again made it back to England as he had wished to before his own death. The text of this piece has been paired with a mixolydian modal structure and a blend of musical elements designed to invoke a nostalgic, dream-like atmosphere. In the words of the composer: I like to think of this piece as a metaphorical hall of mirrors. The original 'image' of the melody becomes the source for multiple echoes and imitations that blossom into layers of polyphonic movement. As a nod to the poet's birth place, notes reminiscent of the kan-swar grace note technique of Hindustani classical music add ornamental interest to the piano and voices. This piece functions as an excellent educational introduction or further study into the concept of modes. When presenting this piece to a choir, directors may find it helpful to identify G as the tonal center and follow up with an explanation that G mixolydian has the same key signature as the key of C, because it naturally has no sharps or flats.

Using constant and flowing eighth notes in the piano accompaniment along with overlapping echoes in the voices to mirror the sound of a steady rainfall, here is a beautiful setting of the James Joyce poem.

Detailed and informative rehearsal notes are included in the page two notes.

SKU: GI.G-7156

Composed by Kathy Powell. Ordinary Time 30 C. Choral. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 8 pages. GIA Publications #7156. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-7156).

UPC: 785147715603. English. Text by Mary Louise Bringle. Scripture: Psalm 17:8, Psalm 22:15, Psalm 30:5, Psalm 57:1, Psalm 91:1–6, Psalm 126:5–6, Deuteronomy 32:11, Luke 13:34.

With echoes of Psalms 91 and 126, and the use of some feminine images of God, this SAB piece is a celebration of confidence and comfort at being held in God's love. It has a most interesting harmonic development that takes us on a journey of harmonic progressions that does not resolve to tonic until the final measure. Guitar part is optional.
