Several superb settings of this moving poem by Sara Teasdale precede this one, but Kevin Memley has earned the reputation to take us somewhere new, even with classic texts. Premiered at the ACDA Western Convention, this SSAA setting with piano is entirely new and gratifying.

This Jazz standard by Thelonious Monk is melodically and harmonically sophisticated and interesting. It has been covered by more artists that can be counted and on every instrument, every band-big and small and singers and singing ensembles. The options are seemingly endless.

SSAATTBB a cappella. Composed by Magdalena Zimmermann. Choral. Classical, General Worship, Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. Duration 360 seconds. Schott Music #SKR20115. Published by Schott Music (HL.49045938).

Magnificat by Magdalena Zimmermann for mixed choir (SSAATTBB) plays with harmony, rhythm and dynamics. The unexpected continuation of melodies by the voices, combined with shifted rhythms, engages the audience's attention until the last bar and results in a rich sound. With its soft and gentle ending, Magnificat as a prayer of Mary exudes, at the same time, a sense of calmness and gentleness.The work is rhythmically and harmonically demanding, which is why the singers need to be steady keeping beat and intonation. Once Magnificat has been rehearsed, it is suitable for concerts as well as Sunday services.

The a cappella motet Alleluja (2018) is a song of longing which resonates existential need as well as the hope of a profound connection to God. In the beginning, which is delicate and motivically very concentrated but metrically deliberately uncoordinated, more and more voices gather to sing together, until suddenly, starting from the bass, a violent and rhythmically exalted incantation breaks out. The following fortissimo unison in a high register is the climax of the entire work piece. In the Abgesang, the beginning is taken up, but now in a polyphonic and harmonically intensified setting. The end in A major seems like a salvation. The work has been released on the CD Rejoice. Vocal Music by Kay Johannsen (Carus 83.496/00).
