The texts of e. e. cummings are thoughtful and provoking. Following suit is this musical setting for a cappella voices and violin. The opening is charmingly hypnotic, preparing the listener's ear to hear the thoughts to come. Just the right amount of dissonance awakens the text and stimulates our senses. The conversation is further enhanced by the violin's expressive interjections. A truly artistic selection for advanced university and community choirs.

An old English ballad, Scarborough Fair relates the tale of a jilted maiden who instructs her listener to tell her former lover that she will have him back after he performs a series of impossible tasks: making a shirt without a seam, washing it in a dry well, to name a few. A modern equivalent might be when pigs fly. Keep it light and bring out the differing accents in the meters, especially the dotted quarter notes.

For SATB and flute, with optional piano Wales, Our Land was composed during late summer 2002 in response to a commission from the Welsh Heritage Program at Green Mountain College, Vermont. This lilting, beautiful choral work sets text by an unknown Welsh-American slate quarryman which speaks of the poet's love of his country of origin, perhaps, even, his longing to return. It is this sense of longing for the homeland (in Welsh, hiraeth) which infuses the composition. The work is sung in English but the words Wales, our land, may be substituted for the three recurring Welsh words, Cymru, ein gwlad.

ISBN 9790007261870. French. Text: Victor Hugo.

In his poem Soiree en mer, Victor Hugo describes how the sea can be perceived very differently by two lovers at the same time in the same place. While the man perceives the deepening shadows on the dancing waves, the woman marvels at the stars shining ever brighter in the firmament. In nature, as in the words of the poem, the painful ambiguity that represents life at its core can be experienced. Like no other poet, Hugo captures this almost unbearable simultaneity of living and dying, of love and suffering. Saint-Saens translates this into music - probably the most ephemeral and contemporary of all art forms. His balanced musical form leaves plenty of room for the poetry and his subtle variations in timbre, which also inspired Denis Rouger to his choral arrangement, create a seething motion under the surface of the sea.

This art song was originally composed not for chamber choir, but for solo voice and piano. Denis Rouger has carefully adapted it to suit the requirements and expressive possibilities offered by a larger ensemble, without losing any of the qualities of the original in the process. Each part in the choir has a melodic line drawn from the harmonic and rhythmic framework. In the process, the variety and refinement of the choral language combines with an enormous flexibility in form and expression, as French melodies or German art song demand from a soloist and pianist. The songs have been recorded by the figure humaine chamber choir on the CD ...wo die Ztronen bluhn (Carus 83.514).

Richard Busch has created a sensitive and intense setting of this Passiontide text. As the speaker recalls Jesus' love for us, the music takes on a lovely lyricism that is harmonically simple. Later, as the speaker reflects on the Crucifixion, the music becomes more intense, with more chromatic writing and disjointed rhythms. The text, accompanied by gentle and serene music, implores the love of Jesus to change his heart. The anthem ends in this gentle manner.
