A setting
of a nativity poem from
Her Maker's Maker by
Michael Symmons Roberts,
New-made for a king was
commissioned by Andreas
Klatt for Farnham Youth
Choir. Scored mainly in
four parts, the choral
texture is homophonic,
the harmony rich yet
approachable by young
performers, with a
decorative piano
accompaniment. In the
mould of a lullaby, the
piece's over-riding calm
is troubled towards the
close by indistinct pp
lontano interjections
from the piano, in
response to the poem's
portentous closing
words.
