In The Presence of the Past
Nick Page.
Examining a real event of 1851, the composer asks us to look to the future
where the past is always present. Do we learn from our past or do we make
the same mistakes over and over? Amazing Grace sung over the top of the
original music suggests that we sing of what can be and build on the works
of those who came before us. The resolution blends Swing Low with Amazing
Grace for a truly spectacular and created ending.

Jenny
Ryan Kerr & Nick Myers.
Fluid vocal lines and a sensitive text shine in this powerful, heartfelt recollection
of a lost loved one. Perfectly capturing the essence of love that lives forever, it
is at the same time both touching and haunting. For a cappella choirs, this will
be warmly received in concert or memorial performances. "Quietly the strain
falls out of tune. Shadows steal across a lonely moon. I miss you so..."

Illumina
Patrick Hawes.
"Give light to my eyes, lest I sleep unto death." This simple, yet profound,
text has been translated into Latin and given an exquisite a cappella setting
by celebrated English composer Patrick Hawes. There is significant divisi in
each part, but the simple quarter note texture and pleasing harmonies make it
easy to sing while still sounding significant. Gorgeous modern harmonies are
highlighted by cluster chords and extended phrases to create a memorable
choral experience.

This beautifully written setting of one of the best known poems from World War
I makes good use of mixed meter, long phrases, and lovely harmonic moments

In That Great Gettin' Up Mornin'!
arr. Greg Gilpin.
A slow opening fanfare sets up this modern setting of traditional spiritual before
exploding into a high-powered arrangement with just a hint of jazz. A cappella
and choral throughout, the rhythmic harmonies feature call-and-response
between sections, divisi and exciting dynamic contrasts. A perfect selection for
better mixed choirs.
