Midwinter Song is a Christmas carol that calls us to love, faith, and hope. With a beautiful and supportive piano accompaniment and accessible vocal lines, this work will appeal to a wide variety of levels. Susan Labarr's Midwinter Song is a new work for Advent or Christmas. Labarr opens the piece with a gentle piano solo that perfectly captures the mystery of the poetry—the words seem to travel out of a time in the deep past and give homage to the neglected art of both rhythm and rhyme. In particular, the description of the world gathering in amber halls in the first verse wonderfully conjures images of medieval casltes or mead halls lit only with firelight and candles, full with the sound of carols.

SATB choir, Descant, cantor, assembly, keyboard accompaniment, 2 C instruments

SKU: GI.G-006289

Psalm 24. Composed by Rudy T. Borkowski. Advent 4 A. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 8 pages. GIA Publications #006289. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-006289).

The straight-to-the-point five-note refrain with four-part choral harmony is an easy learn for your singers and assembly. Rudy always creates ear-catching yet convincing musical twists in his works, as you will hear in this piece. Verses 1 and 2 are slightly syncopated in contrast to the refrain, while verse 3 calls for the choir to hum under the cantor's proclamation as a vocal descant echoes above. The optional final refrain can be performed as a canon at four-, two-, or one-measure intervals. This distinctive ending makes pure physical sense and is fun to sing as well.

Michael Finnissy's John the Baptist won the 2015 British Composer Award in the Liturgical Category. Commissioned by St John's College, Cambridge, for Advent 2014, the piece recalls the folk music of the Middle East, and alternates between boisterous two-part homophony and slower, reflective polyphony.
