An original melody, paired with the Scottish folk song “The Water Is Wide,” creates a gently flowing choral for 2-part voices with optional flute. The original words speak of sailing to places unknown, sails filled with a gentle breeze and a winding river filled with adventures yet unknown. A fresh take on a well-loved melody creating a beautiful ballad for young voices to learn and experience.

Work for Chamber dating from 1988. The composer writes: MINNEWATER means 'love water'/'love lake', but when I began to compose the work, this direct meaning of the title was not very important to me. Rather the word itself had a magical sound. Later on, however, it occurred to me that the piece was full of mumbling swells and swarming cascades, and the sensation of water is perhaps most perceptible towards the end where lots of falling water movements are felt behind the emphasized rhythmic surface. Falls that moreover, quite literally at the end, sinks into the water. MINNEWATER has a subtitle: THOUSANDS OF CANONS, which directly refers to a compostion technique where all layers and elements in the music constantly are imitated; possibly waves imitating each other? The mudded and impalpable beginning of the work takes its starting point in one of my earlier pieces, the sextett LES TUCHINS (in fact the first 5 or 6 pages of the two pieces are quite identical but in MINNEWATER it is all 'blown up' to a larger ensemble). Quite soon, however, the thread to LES TUCHINS is cut off and it goes its own way; From the mumbling in the start - through swarming trills and pointilistic staccato movements - to a long section where the trumpet appears as a soloist and in a way conducts the movements of the remaining ensemble right to the rhythmic final section of the piece. MINNEWATER was commissioned by the Danish Radio for the German Ensemble Modern.

Alice Parker might answer, Here! through singing together, by joining our voices in praising God! Take Me to the Water is a collection of thirteen arrangements of mid-nineteenth century African-American spirituals. This music rings loud and clear with Alice Parker's well-known love for the sound of a cappella spirituals. Featuring Pamela Warrick-Smith, contralto, and musicians of Melodious Accord.

Gonzalo Grau's oratorio Aqua, commissioned by the International Bachakademie Stuttgart, is concerned with the important global theme of water. It is precisely in central Europe that this precious commodity is frequently and thoughtlessly wasted, while in other parts of the world it is so scarce. Moreover, water shows two sides, which Grau makes audible in his oratorio: It gives, but it can also take life - in some places rain brings luck, while in others it brings destruction. Worldwide water is a theme, it means different things in different cultures - this, for example, is reflected in the music of Indian and African cultures. Gonzalo Grau's compositional style is marked by a variety of influences: For me a Gregorian chant is just as beautiful as a Cuban Santeria song. Indian ornamentation and baroque articulation can both appear in the same piece, says the composer. Special sound effects make Aqua a multi-cultural oratorio in which man and the environment is the central theme. Score available separately - see item CA.2810300.

Jacob Druckman's Reflection on the Nature of Water has become one of the standard 4-mallet marimba solos in the contemporary marimba literature. This master class, written by the person it was composed for, Dan Druckman, the composer's son - Associate Principal Percussionist of the New York Philharmonic - provides a unique insight into the complexities of this monumental work. This analysis of Reflections includes: · Exploration of the sonic, timbral, and expressive possibilities of the marimba in a unique way · A hands-on, specific, nuts and bolts approach to understanding and performing the piece · Applications of mallet choices, strokes, articulation, and phrasing-to have as wide a sonic palette as possible · Correction of mistakes in the score (mostly accidentals or rhythmic errors).
