In Stacy
Garrop’s inspired
hands, divisi mixed
chorus provides a rich
palette of texture and
color. Her setting
intermingles three
versions of the Hebrew
folk tune, taking
artistic advantage of
contrasts between solo
and tutti, homophony and
grand antiphony, divisi
men and divisi women, and
the gradual braiding and
unbraiding of Hebrew and
English texts. LO YISA
GOY is the explicitly
anti-war Scriptural text
better-known in its
English translation that
begins, “And they
shall beat their swords
into plowshares... nation
shall not lift up a sword
against
nation.â€. When
Jonathan Miller asked me
to write two pieces for
Chicago a cappella, I
knew right away that I
wanted to choose two
songs from my own
past.The first piece,
Hava Nagila, is a
celebratory song full of
joy. I wanted the second
work to contrast the
first, and to this end, I
chose the somber text of
Lo Yisa Goy, a prayer for
peace. I remember singing
this song as a young
child in Hebrew school
and synagogue, always in
context (at least in my
congregation) of praying
for the state of Israel.
I think we’re at a
particular point in which
people in a lot of
different nations could
use such a prayer. For
this reason,
you’ll hear the
words in both Hebrew and
English.In my research of
previous versions of the
melody, I discovered
three variants for the
tune, all of which I have
incorporated into my
piece.

Based on the
well-known bible text
“Sing unto the Lord
a new song†(Psalm
96:1-3), this upbeat
composition with strong
dynamics and flowing
block chords alternating
with fast-paced polyphony
brings across this joyful
message and enthuses
singers.
Originall
y conceived for male
choir, women’s
voices have now been
added so that this
version for mixed choir
presents a further
dimension of colour. This
version also makes it
possible to divide the
choir into two groups,
one for women and another
for men, and to have them
sing either together or
as separate units.
The version for mixed
choir was premiered in
Uppsala Cathedral
(Sweden) on 26 October
2013, with the Uppsala
Cathedral Singers
conducted by Ulric
Andersson.
“
My music is my own and I
have never tried to be
original. That has always
been my motto and I have
only tried to use music
to express all the
feelings which life has
to offer. This has led
people to describe my
music as ‘so sad
that it sounds like birds
who have lost their
wings‘ but also as
‘the happiest
classical music that we
have ever
heard’. My
compositions are almost
all sacred. They express
not only my own faith but
also my appreciation and
respect for the timeless
texts that have been used
for centuries and
centuries.â€

Of Time
and Passing (2016) is a
cycle of three choral
songs written
specifically for the
London-based ensemble,
VOCES8, taking into
consideration their
versatilityand ability to
beautifully intone a
range of vocal colors
with precision and
grace.
The first
song, I. Life, sets my
translation of the poem A
Vida by Brazilian poet
Olavo Bilac (1865-1918),
a poet I discovered while
studying Brazilian
Portuguese at the
University of Michigan. I
was drawn both to the
simplicity of the text
and to the possibilities
of teasing out dual
contrasting moods. In the
beginning and end, this
song explores a texture
that is very much alive:
wave-like contours,
throbbing sounds, and
plenty of flowing
movement. Rising
eighth-note motives in
particular emphasize the
fleetingness of life. But
in the middle of the
song, the listener is
given a slowed-down
atmosphere to savor
life's beauty.
II.
To Everything a Season
capitalizes on VOCES8's
ability to effectively
interpret popular genres
a cappella. This ancient
text is taken from
Ecclesiastes (dated
around 300 B.C.) but I
set it to a modern,
rhythmically-regular and
percussive pop-style
idiom. Since popular
music in whatever era is
designed to appeal to
a specific ?present
time?, it is by its very
nature ephemeral, and
therefore seemed an apt
metaphor to evoke the
transitory nature of
seasons.
III. Into
Your Hands, confines the
writing into no more than
four parts, often with
octave unisons.This
creates a more direct and
word-focused setting in
which the Psalmist?s
urgent words are placed
at the forefront. Largely
homophonic, this song is
at times chorale-like, at
times
madrigal-like, finall
y relinquishing it?s
tension into peaceful
rest, proclaiming ?You
have redeemed me, O Lord,
faithful God??

Love
Abide encapsulates
the very contemporary
ethos of multicultural
spiritual devotion in a
world populated by a rich
diversity of faiths--all
feeling, as deeply and as
aesthetically, the
compelling potency of
music with love.
A rich offering
on a theme of interfaith
connectivity. The
Japanese lullaby-inspired
Zen Love Song and the
title work Love Abide are
totally
absorbing.
BBC
Music Magazine, 5
stars
With its
outspoken positive
approach, Love Abide is
like a musical bouquet of
healing herbs. Roxana
Panufnuik's beautifully
crafted music is
inventive and truly
enjoyable. The Colla Voce
Singers produce singing
of exceptional quality,
with impressive control
and a very good balance.

If I had to
choose a
'glass-half-full'
contemporary composer,
then Roxanna Panufnik
would be near the top of
my list. Her Music exudes
openness and inclusivity,
and it is in the choral
settings where hope and
positivity - two words
that lie at the heart of
her work - are most
keenly felt. ... much of
her recent work can be
seen to be built on the
solid foundations laid
down on this impressively
varied and diverse
collection. A music of
hope in dark and troubled
times.
