major. English. Manmohan
Ghose.
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. Manmohan

lydian. English. The
Vastness of the Universe
Jonas Hallgrimsson
(1807-1845).
About
Jónas
HalgrÃmsson
(1807-1845) was an
Icelandic poet, author
and naturalist, who is
considered one of
Iceland's most renowned
poets. Considered a
Romantic writer, the
strong imagery in his
poetry was influenced
heavily by the landscapes
around him.The imagery,
excitement, and curiosity
of the universe leapt off
the page and the music
almost wrote itself.Â
Reflecting on the cosmos
and origin of the
heavens, the poetry
elicits excitement and
stirs spatial imagery -
...speeding spark of
light, ...wings swifter
than wind..., ...I
watched the stars...rise
from the still stream of
heaven... The pure and
almost child-like
fascination with the
universe and its
expansion and progression
fuels the perpetual
rhythm of the work as it
continually pushes
forward.A good friend
asked if I would write a
song for her ensemble.
The original voicing, for
SAB choir, contained
parameters in that it had
to be three-part with a
limited range in the Bass
part. With these
stipulations I began to
write. I searched for
something that would be
exciting for them and
landed on Jonas
Halgrimsson’s
writings. I believe it is
equally as exciting,
accessible and
challenging for treble
choirs.Note to the
DirectorTruly consider
how the work can come to
‘life’ off
the page. Rise and fall
with phrase and sometimes
each note. The magic
exists beyond the ink on
the page!Consideration to
range, tessitura, and
content was all
considered as part of
this process in creating
music that is accessible
to all programs and
ensembles.Accompaniment
NoteThe accompaniment can
look intimidating, but
please feel free to alter
the pulsing eighth notes
in the left hand with the
eighth notes in the
right-hand so it creates
a compound rhythm. So
long as the momentum of
the work is pressed
onward, you are doing
this work
justice. About JÃ

Words by William
Shakespeare.
When
clouds appear, when wise
men put on their cloaks,
when great leaves fall,
the winter is at hand.
Comprised of lines from
Shakespeare's immortal
drama Richard III, the
text of this haunting and
evocative piece is rich
with seasonal imagery.
Push and pull of tempos
and the rise and fall of
dynamics ensure musical
interpretation.
