t My Flight for HeavenBlake R. Henson. This
exceptional work for accomplished a cappella choirs
takes Robert Herrick's text about seeking comfort in
the welcome embrace of death and shifts the point
of view to invoke music which strives toward a new
life without pain, suffering, war, or famine. A deeply
moving work which treats this profound text as a
metaphor for life. "Fall on me like a silent dew, or
like those maiden showers, which, by the peep of
day, do strew a baptism o'er the flowers..."

t Sainte-ChapelleEric Whitacre. Eric Whitacre's
Sainte-Chapelle, inspired by the medieval Parisian
chapel, was written for the Tallis Scholars. It depicts
that stained glass masterpiece through sustained
plainchant-like lines which gradually divide into more
and more parts, creating shimmering tone clusters
for a rich and expressive outpouring of sound.

t Serenity (O Magnum Mysterium)Ola Gjeilo.
For a cappella mixed voices with violin or cello (parts
included), this soundscape on the traditional O
Magnum Mysterium text has long phrases that seem
to suspend the listener in space. A full six minutes in
duration, it is a stunningly beautiful contribution to the
repertoire for medium-advanced choirs!

t TenebraeRichard Burchard. Tenebrae is a
concert work, even though the sacred text focuses on
the crucifixion. The ancient liturgy is presented with
beauty and emotion. Originally written for advanced

4t Totus TuusMichael John Trotta. The lush
extended harmonies proceed from a pedal point
and continue in straightforward rhythm, making the
piece at once accessible yet giving new life to the
ancient text by Louis de Montfort. The thoughtful

concert and liturgical settings. A superb balance of
color and emotion. Highly recommended!

4t Ubi Caritas et AmorJosu Elberdin. Written in
honor of composer Javier Busto, this a cappella

lt Veterum OratioJesse Beulke. This beautiful
a cappella setting of the Agnus Dei Latin
text is engaging and compelling. The use of
divisi, chord clusters and various harmonic
textures creates some gorgeous harmonic
moments. Mixed meters occur throughout
but flow nicely with the text and music. The
ending is perhaps the most spellbinding, as one
voice part after another closes to a hum that
evaporates into silence.
10748250 SATB. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.15
n When Jesus WeptWilliam Billings/arr. Gwyneth
Walker. The original tune and lyrics for this piece
are by William Billings and have been adapted
for mixed chorus, optional percussion and piano
by Gwyneth Walker. The mournful spirit of early
Americana in the original music is still present,
embellished by her additions and the movement of
the original 3/4 time signature to common time. An
effective and moving arrangement.

"Keep a melody in your heart your whole life long,
and always, always sing your song." The life-giving
power of music is beautifully expressed in this

treble voices, but with the addition of cued notes to
add a third part, this piece has the depth of musicality
and expression to create a beautiful statement at

Autumn FiresMary Donnelly & George L.O.
Strid. Younger choirs will build important choral
skills with this tender setting of a poem by Robert
Louis Stevenson. Alternating between modal and
major key tonality, the part-writing is carefully
crafted, making this an excellent choice for the first

n Be With MeJim Papoulis. Today's society often
seems to require children to perform tasks earlier
and better, over-schedule life sooner, and grow up
faster. Be With Me embraces the years of a child's
life before becoming an adult. It also reminds us
that a child's time with us is precious and passes
all too quickly. "Be with me in morning sun, be with
me when evening comes, be with me my precious
one, before you go away."

MISSA POPULARIS
Marten Jansson. As the name
suggests, the Missa Popularis has
its musical roots in folk music. This
becomes clear in the first bars of
the Kyrie, when the violin plays a
melody in the style of a Swedish
folk tune above a bass ostinato. The
musical charm of the Mass setting
derives from the combination of
choir and string quartet. The flexible
choral parts enable performances
by treble or mixed choir with
optional TB. A charming setting of
the Latin Mass text.
