A versatile Mass setting for use throughout the liturgical year, Mass of the Sun of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia is fully bilingual, singable entirely in English or in Spanish, or any pastoral combination of both languages. At its core, this setting is built on assembly-minded melodies. Much of the choral writing is two-part, albeit spelled out in four voices, whereby the basses frequently double the soprano melody, and the alto and tenor lines essentially share a single harmony in their respective ranges, splitting only at cadence points for a fuller effect. Optional descants and divisi further expand the voicing possibilities. The additional instrumentation is particularly spirited, further enhancing these sung texts for solemn occasions. “Sun of justice” is a term used to reference Christ with respect to his second coming, as found in the ancient “O” antiphons. This title appears in the Lectionary among the Alleluia options for the common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and is, in fact, assigned to the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, celebrated within the Advent season. As such, the music is “Advent-like” in nature—joyful and filled with hope.  ~~~~~ Una Misa versátil para usar durante todo el año litúrgico, Mass of the Son of Justice / Misa Sol de Justicia es completamente bilingüe, se puede cantar completamente en inglés o en español, o en cualquier combinación pastoral de ambos idiomas. En esencia, este arreglo se basa en melodías para la asamblea. Gran parte de la escritura coral es de dos partes, aunque escrito para cuatro voces, por lo que los bajos con frecuencia duplican la melodía de soprano, y las líneas de alto y tenor comparten esencialmente una sola armonía en sus respectivos rangos, dividiéndose solo en los puntos de cadencia para una melodía más completa. Los discante y divisi opcionales amplían aún más las posibilidades de sonorización. La instrumentación adicional es particularmente animada, mejorando aún más estos textos cantados para ocasiones solemnes. Sol de justicia es un término que se usa para referirse a Cristo con respecto a su segunda venida, como se encuentra en las antífonas O antiguas. Este título aparece en el Leccionario entre las opciones de Aleluya para el común de la Santísima Virgen María y, de hecho, está asignado a la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, celebrada dentro del tiempo de Adviento. Como tal, la música es en esencia de adviento—alegre y llena de esperanza. ~~~~~ Preview select songs from this mass setting in the video below:.

Choral SATB Choir and Piano

SKU: CF.CM9740

Composed by Mark Burrows. 16 pages. Duration 4 minutes, 22 seconds. Carl Fischer Music #CM9740. Published by Carl Fischer Music (CF.CM9740).

ISBN 9781491161203. UPC: 680160919789. Key: Bb major. English. Siegfried Sasson.

Everyone suddenly burst out singing; And I was filled with such delight As prisoned birds must find in freedom... These opening lines to Everyone Sang by the British war poet Siegfried Sassoon feel as relevant today as they did when the poem was first published in 1919. It was after the end of World War I and these words capture so much of the collective exhilaration, relief, and pure joy about the Great War finally coming to an end. And yet Sassoon himself felt none of that when he wrote this poem. In his own words, he was feeling dull-minded and depressed. Perhaps his time in the trenches was still too recent. One of the reasons the creative arts are so powerful is that a poet like Sassoon (or a painter like Van Gogh or a composer like Mahler) can take their own feelings of deep sadness or pain and transform them into something beautiful, even uplifting. Everyone Sang is a celebration of the promise that things can get better, that there are things worth looking forward to.   The poem itself has so much rhythm and musicality. The appearance of suddenly in the first line of each verse gives those verses a rush of energy. Attention to the crescendo in measure 7, and again in measure 37, from mf to f will help the listener experience that rush. There are expressive opportunities with so many of the poet's bold choices of action words - burst, winging, and shaken. Then there's alliteration - a poetic device that can be overdone, but Sassoon strikes a wonderful balance. Suddenly/singing (measures 6-7 and 10-11) Find/freedom (measure 21-22) Winging/wildly (measure 23) Setting/sun (measures 47-49) Was/wordless (measures 65-75) Give these alliterations just a hint of emphasis (without overdoing) to bring out the natural rhythm of the text.   And just as O is set apart in the poem by punctuation, I wanted the musical setting - in measure 57 - to honor that feeling of wonder - ...O, but Everyone Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will Never be done. Friends, there is so much good ahead, so much to be excited about. May the singing never be done.

Setting both English and German texts, Sure of the Sky, Sure of the Sun – Des Himmels sicher, der Sonne sicher is a haunting and moving reflection on the futility of war.  The 5-minute piece for SATB choir and brass was premiered at one of the UK’s three main World War I centenary commemoration events on August 4, 2014. It was launched by the London Symphony Chorus, Schleswig-Holstein Festival Chor and Coldstream Guards, at a twilight event attended by the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince Harry, and a number of world leaders, all gathered together in the tiny woodland cemetery of St Symphorien near Mons, Belgium – the resting place for the first and last British, and the last Commonwealth, soldiers to die on the Western Front.

The texts are “May, 1915” by Charlotte Mew (1869-1928) and “To a Missing Friend” by Goldfeld, a German Jewish soldier killed in action, the poem was discovered by Jewish military historian, Peter C Appelbaum. Duration: 5:00

Instrumental Parts include: B-flat Cornet, B-flat Flugelhorn, E-flat Tenor Horn/French Horn in F, Euphonium, Tuba .

Composed by Harri Viitanen. Published by Fennica Gehrman (FG.55009-070-5).

ISBN 979-0-55009-070-5.

Moon and Sun (for two soprano soloists and mixed choir) is a setting of verses from the Kalevala, the most famous of Finland's poetic folk-epics. The Mistress of the North has buried the moon's face in the motley stone, charmed the day's dawning deep into the steely mountainside with her song. Viitanen combines a contemporary musical style with folk ballad melodies from the southern Baltic, and applies the relative distances between the stars of Ursa Major and Ursa Minor constellations, according to his own formula.
