Major Choral Works
I'll Make Me a World—John Rutter.
Featuring mezzo-soprano and baritone
soloists, this large-scale work sets a poem
by American writer and civil rights activist
James Weldon Johnson that depicts the
Creation story. Blues and gospel influences
are present throughout, and declamatory
solo writing brings the narrative to life,
with the baritone soloist taking on the role
of God and the choir and mezzo-soprano
sharing the role of narrator. The work is rich
in rhythmic vitality and dramatic moments
that make full use of the orchestral forces in
both the full orchestra and small ensemble
accompaniments. Conductor's scores and
instrumental parts for both versions are
available on rental.

Intimations of Immortality—Michael John
Trotta. Soaring melodic lines combine with
a lush harmonic palette to deliver a poignant
reflection in this 21-minute reflection on
coming of age, maturity, and perspective.
This five-movement work is a shimmering
setting of the words of William Wordsworth
that is a perfect centerpiece for your
community and collegiate concert.

Leonardo Dreams of His Flying
Machine—Eric Whitacre. A madrigal-
inspired fever dream of imagination, risk,
and the human desire to fly, melding
Renaissance musical language with modern
storytelling. Created with poet and historian
Charles Anthony Silvestri and premiered
at the 2001 ACDA National Conference,
the work draws on Leonardo da Vinci's
sketches, writings, and relentless curiosity,
unfolding like a cinematic narrative for choir.

The Lost Birds (An Extinction Elegy)—
Christopher Tin. Sweeping and cinematic in
scope, this multi-movement work serves as
both a tribute to the birds that once filled our
skies and a warning about our own tenuous
existence on the planet. The compositional
vocabulary, like the poems it draws on, is
rooted in the rich artistic heritage of the 19th
century, embracing beauty and pain in equal
measure. Advanced ensembles will relish
the opportunity to explore the subtleties that
fill the skies of this musical reflection.

Luminous Night of the Soul—Ola
Gjeilo. The sequel to Dark Night of the
Soul, this extended work has a brighter,
lighter feeling. Like all of Gjeilo's works,
it is one of the best contemporary choral
compositions available.

Mass: A Celebration of Love and Joy—
Andre J. Thomas. A true testament to his
strength and skill as a composer, André
Thomas' gospel-style Mass combines the
power of love and joy with the beauty and
sophistication of top-tier choral music. The
gospel style of the work is authentic and
approachable, appropriate for the concert
stage or worship services. Written in five
movements, the Mass can be performed
in its entirety or as separate selections
(each of the movements is also available
separately). It may be performed with piano
alone, piano with bass and drums, or with
full orchestra. A piano accompaniment CD
is also available. Movements are: Kyrie;
Gloria; Credo; Sanctus; Agnus Dei.

My Own Design—Katerina Gimon. A
three-movement work about self-discovery,
living with purpose, and finding joy in life's
unfolding journey, the composer's lyrics
are developed from reflections written
by the choristers of the commissioning
ensemble. The first song, Where Do I Go?,
describes the struggles of overcoming
self-doubt. The next song, Step by Step, is
about navigating life's challenges and the
journey to achieving one's goals. Finally,
Joy reflects on the delight found in simple
but profound everyday moments. Dynamic
and accessible, the work is enhanced with
body percussion, aleatoric passages, and a
contemporary style. Each movement is also
available separately.

Requiem—Taylor Scott Davis. On the
heels of his beloved Magnificat, Taylor Scott
Davis returns with this highly anticipated
work Requiem. Written for and recorded
by Barnaby Smith and the VOCES8 vocal
ensemble and orchestra, this six-movement
work utilizes inspiration from both sacred
and secular idioms. It is a work of both
tumult and hope, including a beautiful
setting of Siegfried Sassoon's poem Idyll.
At approximately 36 minutes in length,
and with the full orchestration or chamber
orchestration available as accompaniment
options, it is an approachable work for
school, church, community, or collegiate
choirs. Movements: I. Introit and Kyrie
II. Lacrimosa III. Sanctus IV. Agnus Dei

Requiem—Gabriel Fauré/ed. John Rutter.
Millions of musicians have been thrilled
by performances of this exceptional
masterwork. However, you may be
surprised to find out that the edition that
we had all performed years ago was far
from what Fauré originally conceived. After
completing considerable research into
the original composition and into Fauré's
writings about the work, John Rutter
created this edition which has eclipsed all
others as the standard of performance for
this masterpiece.
