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 .

SSATB choir

SKU: CA.966600

Composed by Paul Ayres. Edited by Stefan Schuck. CARUS CONTEMPORARY. Itis Winter Now. Sacred vocal music, Advent, Christmas. Full score. 4 pages. Duration 3 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 09.666/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.966600).

This is a short, skilful song setting, a typical English Christmas carol with an Advent text: the cold winter as symbol of the frozen world, waiting for Christ. The setting, through-composed in verses, in five-four time, captivates through its sparse use of diatonic formations of dissonances, cantabile imitations and wide-arching melodic lines. This little gem encourages a beautiful, expressive legato interpretation and makes an excellent counterpart to Deilig (Carus 9.664) in an Advent concert program.
