Alex Freeman's (b. 1972) Cathedral of Spring for chamber choir (2019) to poems of e.e. cummings and Robert Frost was commissioned and premiered by Somnium Ensemble. The composer tells: For the celebration of the 10th anniversary of Somnium Ensemble (Finland), I was commissioned to write a piece with spring as a central theme. While contemplating that and perusing appropriate poetry, I was inspired by memories of the night-time sky in early spring--the warm air, the teeming, buzzing energy of life all around, and an expansive dome of stars overhead. I then imagined that moment in time as a kind of sacred space; this is the point where the cathedral notion came to mind. The frenetic and joyous poetry of e.e. cummings, from his Epithalamion, gives an exclamatory introduction to the set, followed by his vision of spring from the point of view of giddy children in his iconic poem, [in Just-]. We then take a moment to contemplate the ephemerality of all this beauty (spring giveth and spring taketh away, i.e. an offertorium of sorts); Robert Frost's Blue-Butterfly Day places us in a moment where, by chance, we find ourselves enveloped by a delicately fluttering swarm of butterflies. Peaceful and still, yet in constant flux, we spend a some time taking that phenomenon in, while also experiencing a twinge of the realisation that this is truly fleeting. The final movement, returning to a later stanza from Epithalamion, cummings's sparkling paean to May is set as a kind of final anthem..

Choral (SATB)

SKU: HL.1498857

Composed by Anton Stepanovich Arensky. Edited by Stephen A. Futrell. National/Emerson Fred Bock. Octavo. 16 pages. Hal Leonard #NM1096. Published by Hal Leonard (HL.1498857).

UPC: 196288219101. 6.75x10.5x0.036 inches.

The pieces contained in Arensky's Three Quartets, Opus 57 are quaint and accessible. These editions contain transliterations of the Russian (along with pronunciation guide), and an English translation which intentionally is more to the essence of the original poetry and a truer translation, rather than forcing a rhyme scheme at the expense of the integrity of the original text. The expressive imagery, with colorful depictions of nature and the stars, is heightened by the lyric solo cello. From soaring lines reflecting the mountains in “Serenada,” to the use of the cello's upper register in “To the Extinguished Stars,” to the running sixteenth notes mimicking “The Boiling Hot Spring,” the cello does not play a mere accompaniment role. The pieces can be performed together or individually, a cappella in the absence of a cellist. However, employing the solo cello gives the performer and the listener the full visual and aural range of the expressive quality of these choral gems.

SATB choir and organ

SKU: ST.W187

Composed by Anthony Caesar. SATB and organ. Choral. Octavo. Stainer & Bell Ltd. #W187. Published by Stainer & Bell Ltd. (ST.W187).

ISBN 9790220203305.

Anth ony Caesar finds a moving text by the teenage Etonian, Oxford Movement influenced, Digby Mackworth Dolben (1848-1867), who died tragically young while swimming. Canon Caesar's anthem is a classic example of the Franciscan principle (observed by lamentably few composers) of true beauty springing from simplicity.

The text inspires a sort of post-Howells harmonic idiom, though with the choir's part kept remarkably simple. The most inspired moment comes when the opening progression, which sets the poignant tension of the first three verses, is subtly transformed into radiant certainty in the last verse: I asked for Thee- / And Thou didst come / To take me home / Within Thy Heart to be. Although the parts divide at times, this miniature classic is not too difficult for any well rehearsed four-part choir.

As well as traditional genres, Richard Bullen's music embraces several contemporary ones including video and electronics, and shows a keen interest in location both in its formal possibilities and in its genius loci - its spirit of place. A five-minute stand-alone piece for SATB chorus, The Seven Arches was written for a site-specific project at the Dartington International Summer School: an invocation of the rich cultural and mythic past of the celebrated gardens. In poet Steve Willey's multi-layered text the remaining seven arches of the medieval courtyard become metaphors for this continuing presence. Bold arched melodies springing from resilient, purposeful chords likewise animate the music, a sonic tableau of the sites / sights and sounds of history. Click video tab for the premiere performance conducted by David Lardi with the Finchley Chamber Choir, and view the full text as presented in Willey's intriguing original visual conception of his poem about Dartington Hall.
