Reunited for a
fourth time, the talents
of John L. Bell and the
voices of Chicago's
Cathedral Singers combine
to produce a truly
remarkable recording of
top-notch choral music
with Take This Moment!
Like much of John Bell's
work, Take This Moment
sends us soaring around
the globe, featuring such
pieces as Te Ensalzarÿ,
SeËor, a lively,
bilingual setting of
Psalm 30 commissioned by
the Diocese of Austin,
Texas. The lovely Easter
text of While Earth
Remains is set to an
exquisite Korean tune,
while I Bow My Head in
Prayer takes us back to
John Bell's homeland with
an ancient
Scottish-Celtic text set
to an even older Celtic
melody. Also featured on
this recording, making
his debut with the
Cathedral Singers, is GIA
composer and guitarist
Stephen Petrunak! The
rich, full music in this
collection is intended
for parish choirs with
options of three- or
four-part harmony. Take
This Moment is simply a
glorious collection of
choral works that is as
enjoyable for the
music-loving listener to
hear as it is for the
musician to perform!

Saint
Nicolas (note the name
has no 'H' in it!) was
written for the centenary
of Lancing College in
Sussex, the independent
secondary boarding school
on the south coast of
England which Peter Pears
had attended in his
teens. It has a vast
chapel intended by its
founder, Revd Nathaniel
Woodard, as the cathedral
for all the schools of
his extensive foundation
known collectively as
'Woodard' schools. St.
Nicolas is famous for
many legendary miracles
and for being the
original 'Santa Claus'.
Crozier's libretto is
designed to tell the
story of his life, to
recount some of his most
celebrated acts and to
give the
audience/congregation the
opportunity of joining in
two beautiful hymns at
key moments: 'All people
that on earth do dwell'
and 'God moves in a
mysterious way his
wonders to perform'. The
narration is all done by
the choir, though the
tenor sings first-person
narratives as well in his
role as the mature
Nicolas. The young
Nicolas is sung by a boy
in movement II. There is
a dramatic moment at the
end of this movement when
the boy's voice does a
tumble and the tenor
proclaims in the voice of
Nicolas as a young man:
'God be
glorified'.
The
third movement is an
accompanied recitative in
which the soloist sings
of Nicolas devoting
himself to God through
the agonies and torment
of the many distractions
and temptations of life.
His faith wins through
and he sings a final
touching phrase: 'and
Love was satisfied'. The
sea whips up a storm in
the next movement: 'He
journeys to Palestine'.
It threatens to overturn
the ship and drown
everyone on board. There
is wailing from the
sopranos and altos of the
semi-chorus and agonised
calls from the tenors and
basses to 'man the
pumps'. Finally, Nicolas
begs God to let the storm
cease and offers thanks
for their safe delivery.
Britten creates a
palpable sense of relief
in the final
pages.
In the
fifth movement, 'Nicolas
comes to Myra and is
chosen Bishop', the choir
sings chorale-like
phrases welcoming him as
their new Bishop. They go
through his ceremonial
dressing with all the
accoutrements of his
office, the mitre,
crozier (nice pun on the
librettist's name), robe
and ring. An energetic
chorus 'Serve the faith
and spurn his enemies'
leads to the first great
hymn - a wonderfully
climactic moment.
Britten's arrangement is
suitably
uplifting.
The
final movement tells of
Nicolas' death and the
work ends with the other
great hymn: 'God moves in
a mysterious way'.
This work
demonstrates to me
Britten's generosity of
spirit and his natural
feeling for enriching the
repertoire at all levels
of attainment. What a
gift!

The Belgian
composer Nicholas Lens
presents extremely varied
etudes, exercises and
simple phrases with
wonderfully telling
titles from poetry and
everyday world for
children and adults. For
the most part the studies
are tonal and simple and
have no constructed line.
They are not based on any
educational concept but
leave the musical
dramatization to the
pupils and teachers:
'Notes and rhythms are
just notes and rhythms,
they do not have that
many rules, they do not
have any pretension, they
are just tools for you to
use to express what you
want to share'.

Brian Balmages. Arranged

On
November 5th, 2017, a
mass shooting took place
at the First Baptist
Church in Sutherland
Springs, Texas.
Twenty-six innocent
people lost their lives
that day, including an
unborn child. Overture to
a Small Town is dedicated
to these victims and the
loved ones they left
behind. From the biggest
cities to the smallest
towns, the senseless
bloodshed must end.
Despite the darkness of
this tragedy, it is my
intent through this music
to portray a sense of
hope, dignity, and
innocence deserved by all
America's cities and
towns. The opening
moments of this piece
should be treated
delicately, ensuring that
the brass section moves
together in one unified
voice, and that the
crotales evoke distant
flickers of light.
Similarly, in mm.
120-127, articulations in
the flutes, trumpets and
mallets should be strong
enough to be heard, but
without being aggressive.
The textural layering in
mm. 48-53 should be
executed with
machine-like precision of
both rhythm and
articulation. This
passage should evoke the
sound of many voices
rising together. There
should be a great
contrast between the
opening Piano dynamic and
the final Forte dynamic.
In mm. 65-69, both mallet
percussionists may play
the indicated notes in
any octave they choose.
Both players should move
rapidly between notes in
any order. This passage
should sound fluid and
ethereal. In mm. 69-73:
If there is no English
Horn available to the
ensemble, the Trumpet
should play this passage
solo. If there is an
English Horn, both
instruments should play
the passage together.
This impressionistic
composition about these
vanished structures,
although written for more
advanced ensembles, has
only one flute, clarinet,
trumpet, horn and
trombone part. As a
result, smaller bands can
play this composition
without having to look
for a flex-band
arrangement. Use this to
develop the essential
skills of syncopation and
counting while also
offering the security of
only having one part for
each instrument voice. An
exciting contrasting
selection for bands
looking for a
harmonically interesting
composition, this also
works well as a contest
selection. . On
