Beginning with a single bass line in the keyboard, expanding to 2 parts, then adding in the men’s voices and eventually the women, it is as if everyone in the room is waiting on the brink, expecting something. The mixed two-part voicing is used for the first 3 verses, finally expanding to SATB on the final verse, providing a comforting expansiveness.

“To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains one of the most prolific composers for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. His 16 Studies for Trumpet, Bugle or Cornet is no exception to the composer's success. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for Violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Compiled in 1950, Bozza's 16 Studies addresses advanced features of the Trumpet, Bugle and Cornet, including complex rhythms, articulation, chromaticism, variations in time signatures, breath control, phrasing, intervals, scales and arpeggios, amongst other aspects. For all advanced Trumpet, Bugle and Cornet players, Bozza's 16 Studies are essential to develop technique to a high standard.”.

ISBN 9781491162439. UPC: 680160921188. Key: D minor. English. Matthew Arnold (1822-1888).

The luminous text of the poem Dover Beach by English poet Matthew Arnold is the inspiration for the rolling and weaving melodies of this undulating piece. In his writing, Arnold ponders how the vastness of the sea and the thrashing waves that crash on the sand and rocks seem to mirror the melancholy in his heart. He comes back to the steadfast nature of the cliffs of England that allow the light of the moon to gleam across and then scatter into darkness. The echoing phrases are intended to create concrete repetitions that mirror the original unison melody with minor deviations. In turn, the driving passages will challenge the performer while providing arpeggiated accompaniment to propel them forward.INSTRUCTIONAL PURPOSES and RANGES: This work is composed for the needs of tenor-bass voices, with both a reasonable range and comfortable tessitura. The call-and-response sections allow for singers to easily hear their part while developing harmonic foundations and listening skills. Sustained phrases are strategically written to strengthen breath support and the passaggio during the challenges of navigating through various phases of vocal development.  The descant portion is a great option for solos or small ensembles.

†œWe are, inescapably, filled with Ruah, the Holy Spirit, from our first breath to our last. As Paul reminds the early church in Romans 8:9 ‘you are not controlled by your sinful nature. You are controlled by the Spirit if you have the Spirit of God living in you.’ Paul is reminding us that we are filled with the Ruah of God and so should choose to live accordingly.”                                                                   – Ian Callanan (from the Introduction)   Drawing on the rich tradition of composer Ian Callanan’s musical background Ruah: Ma ss of the Breath of God is filled with Celtic themes and motifs. With the exception of the Our Father, the entire Mass is composed in the key of D, the key in which traditional Irish instruments are tuned, making the setting as accessible as possible. The recording models the sound of full Celtic instrumentation, though the setting is just as effective when simple accompaniment is used.    Ruah utilizes the Eucharistic Prayer for Children, yet the choice is by no means meant to be limiting. This is a setting composed with the entire assembly in mind, encouraging all to take a deep breath, then sing with the Ruah of God.   The keyboard accompaniment is printed in the full score.

Songs of the Ice is an orchestral work about ice. In the Arctic region, the ice breathes with the seasons, swelling in winter and shrinking in summer. Its age-old movement sings a song of its own: slowly surging, unrelenting and covering all beneath it. It tinkles and rumbles, squeaks and laments as our ever-warmer climate breaks Nature's time-honored laws, forcing the ice to give way. When I composed the piece, I was expecting our second child, due to be born in the heart of winter when the bitter cold strengthens the ice, making it powerful and solid again, and I was vividly reminded of the time after our first-born. Songs of the Ice also describes the emptiness and reclosing process that begins in a woman's body when she parts company with the life inside her in giving birth.
