Sacred was originally part of a Mass setting in which the composer combined the traditional Latin Mass movements with elements from the Sámi yoik tradition other Norwegian folk music and traditional Finnish music. This version for upper voices was recorded by Cantus on their album Northern Lights and is very approachable for choirs of all abilities. There are no words only ‘yoik syllables’ with no meaning for which a pronunciation guide is included. Fjellheim’s distinctive and approachable musical language which many will recognise from the use of his music at the opening of Disney’s Frozen will appeal to both singers andaudience.

Insp iration for the Three Motets op. 39 was a visit to the romanesque church of Trinita dei Monti. On 20 Dec 1830 Mendelssohn wrote to his parents: The French nuns sing there, and it is wonderfully lovely. ... Now, one should know one more thing: that one is not allowed to see the singers. Therefore I have come to an unusual decision: I will compose something for their voices, which I rememer exactly.... Score available separately - see item CA.4070300.

Dona nobis pacem and Lux aeterna were both written for concert programs devoted to specific themes. They share the use of the techniques of minimalism in their organ parts, enabling the broad vocal lines in the choral voices to stretch out above this instrument, thus imparting a special aspect to the concerns addressed by the texts: the longing for freedom in the here and now, as expressed in the Dona nobis pacem, as well as the desire for peace and tranquillity in the Lux aeterna.

8 page octavo Text: Jane Griner Published by: Dunstan House The text for this lullaby has been quite cleverly crafted by poet Jane Griner so that by the alteration of words in two spots shown in the score, the piece may be sung either as a general lullaby for any child, or as a more specific lullaby for the infant Jesus. Softly, Little Child was commissioned by a consortium of thirteen women's choruses organized under the auspices of the American Choral Directors Association by Dr. Lisa Fredenburgh, National Repertoire and Standards Chair for Women's Choirs. Minimum order quantity: 8 copies. Perusal copies are available by contacting office@DunstanHouse.com (include the organization name with your request). To order quantities fewer than 8.

Matsushita's setting of a hymn for Pentecost is a dialog between women's choir and piano: while the choir develops its melodies from the Gregorian hymn, the piano provides a counterpoint with the minimalistic sounds of fourth and fifths, together with short independent motives related to the text of the hymn. Corresponding to the chorale, the meter changes continually, as if floating. The choir is treated homophonically throughout and, in preparation for the climax of the piece it is briefly divided into six parts at the words pacemque dones protinus (true peace bring unto us). One again Matsushita proves himself a master of economy in his use of compositional means; thus his works of new church music are appealing, effective, and they express humility.

For SSAATB unaccompanied One of Tomkins's most striking works, this setting of an anonymous devotional text appears in print for the first time. The work is distinctly madrigalian, with several sudden shifts of tonality, changes of texture, and decorative passages.
