The Vocal Score for Tarik O'Regan's 2004 composition Threnody forms a part of the larger cantata Triptych but works beautifully as a piece in its own right. Lasting around five minutes Threnody was commissioned with funds from The RVW Trust for the Choir of London's inaugural concert in Christ Church Spitalfields on the 18th of December 2004. The work is arranged for SATB Chorus and String Orchestra and this item is the Vocal Score. Taking the lyrics from a diverse range of literary sources including William Blake's Auguries of Innocence William Penn and Psalm133 the solemn beauty of these texts is matched by the dynamism of the vocal performances in conjunction with the staccato rhythms of the orchestra. Crescendos and diminuendos give a sense of urgency and excitement to the vocals the harmonies of which are expertly composed.

Seiber arranged The Handsome Butcher from a folksong that was collected by Bartok. The body of the song concerns the striking attributes of the butcher in fanfare-like tonic-dominant structures but there is a staccato prestosting the tail.The Hungarian composer and teacher Matyas Seiber who spent most of his life in Britain had a remarkably broad musical understanding. In his oeuvre can be discerned influences of Schoenberg Bartok jazz and clearly in The Handsome Butcher folksong both British and Continental.

A strong Second Advent offering this choral piece in minor drives forward with drama and fire. Crisp articulated staccatos mingle with a sharply punctuated piano part and the result is compelling. Like a prophets warning this text warns ofjudgment day but offers assurance in the justice of a sovereign and merciful God. Powerful!
