These two anthems are examples of Lauridsen's style in embryo, as it were, for both were written while the composer was just twenty-seven years old. Both anthems evince the contrapuntal mastery that would prove an enduring featureof the composer's technique. The pure and austere lines of I will lift up mine eyes, an a cappella setting of Psalm 121, evoke ancient organum and the imitative devices of Medieval polyphony. Complex chord structures and elaboratecanonic procedures give O come, let us sing unto the Lord a sense of inexorable forward momentum. The coruscating organ part further enhances the prevailing mood of joy that pervades this anthem. --Byron Adams.

This world premiere recording features two new choral collections. The Fire of Love sets the words of fourteenth-century English mystic Richard Rolle, who depicted the soul’s movement towards God through the phases of heat, sweetness, and song, with song being the ultimate expression of the soul. For the second collection, Patrick has set nine of William Blake’s Songs of Innocence, and the fragile poetry gives rise to tender and heartfelt music. Somehow, I knew that I and The Same Stream needed to collaborate on a recording with Patrick Hawes. This recording grew out of our shared desire to collaborate on some new scores. Over the months that ensued from our initial meeting, the music on this CD grew out of meaningful exchanges between a composer and a conductor… Both works, The Fire of Love and Songs of Innocence, represent settings of profound poets that capture some essences of lives lived. But what made an impact upon us all was the honesty that Patrick Hawes knitted into these scores. Working with him on this recording was inspirational for us all. His passion for communicating through sound was radiantly clear to us, and it is our hope that his passion for these words by Richard Rolle and William Blake become alive in your ears and your heart. — James Jordan Click here to download the CD booklet Learn more about this album from Patrick Hawes, James Jordan, and The Same Stream in the video below:.

Beethoven had been pondering over the plan of the Ninth Symphony for 30 years. He was occupied with Schiller's 'Ode to Joy' as early as 1793. From 1809 on the first drafts of the musical ideas of the work appeared among his sketches. In fact, he began the meticulous elaboration of this monumental composition only in the autumn of 1822. The first performance took place on May 7, 1824 in the Karntnertor-Theater in Vienna. Although the conductor Umlauf, the soloists, the choir and the orchestra had only a few rehearsals at their disposal to come over the extraordinary difficulties of the piece, the Ninth Symphony had a great succes, in spite of certain shortcomings of the performance. After the first performance Beethoven made some changes in the autograph manuscript. This corrected copy served as a basis for the score printed in 1826 which is beyond doubt the final and authentic version. All the more so, as the composer carefully controlled the preparation of the publication. The source of the present edition is therefore the first printed score.

This single-movement setting of the Vesper psalm Laetatus sum was discovered by Michael Talbot in the spring of 2017 among the online collection of digitized scores of sacred music held by the SLUB in Dresden. Four works by Vivaldi deliberately misattributed to Baldassare Galuppi by the Venetian copyist Iseppo Baldan had already been uncovered in the previous decades, and it was during anexploratory examination of scores sharing a paper type and copyist (Baldan himself) with them that this fifth such work came to light. Vivaldi's single movement pieno settings (for choir alone without soloists) form an important subset of his sacred vocal music, and this new setting is the most elaborate and expansive of any of them. It features effective musical contrasts, and its many felicitous examples of word-painting show what a complete master of vocal composition he had become by the 1730s, the decade from which this setting clearly originates. As usual in Vivaldi's choral compositions the ever-changing relationship between the vocal and instrumental components constantly fascinates, as each in turn captures the listener's attention. This previously unknown Laetatus sum promises to become a much-performed work.

A driving composition from Sean O'loughlin,?Commence!?begins with a spirited theme that oscillates between triple and duple meter. After developing into a heartfelt lush brass chorale, the lilting theme returns again. The composition concludes with a dramatic return of the B theme and a rousing finale. A beautiful piece,?Commence!?is a?strong choice for any contest or festival.
Commence! was commissioned by the Lynden High School Class 2017-2019 and the Lynden, WA Community, and is dedicated to Steve Herrick in celebration of his retirement. Mr. Herrick and I first collaborated on a commission in 2006, and I was immediately taken by the community and the music program in Lynden. It is truly one of the most beautiful places in the country and full of musical inspiration at every turn.
This piece is a loving tribute to Mr. Herrick and his amazing contribution to the students of Lynden for over thirty years. The music begins with a spirited section oscillating between 6/8 and 2/4 time. It should maintain a pulsing feeling throughout. The main melody appears at m. 25 and has a lilting, reminiscing quality to it. After some further development, it moves to a B-section at m. 41 with some warm brass passages. The woodwinds should soar over the top with their counter line. The lower voices take over the melody at m. 59. The harmony becomes more discordant at m. 71 with passages trading between the brass and woodwinds.
This tension releases into a slow section that features a flowing, heartfelt melody. This builds to the big moment at m. 112. The timpani ushers us back to the 6/8, 2/4 section. The melody is now accompanied by some flowing counterpoint at m. 153 which leads to the B-section again at m. 169. This time the woodwinds take the lead and the brass provide the counter line. A final big moment at m. 194 is the culmination and high point of the composition. A brief fast section puts a bow on the piece for a rousing finale.

The composer Péter Andorka (born 1987) studied under Miklós Kocsár and Miklós Csemiczky at the Bartók Secondary School of Music and under János Vajda at the Liszt Academy of Music, both in Budapest. Apart from solo, chamber and orchestral works, several vocal compositions of his (oratorios and choral works) have been performed, and he has also composed for the stage.The Three Liturgical Chants to Latin texts were composed for six-part female choir in 2009. The text of the first piece (Lux aeterna) comes from the mass for the dead, that of the second (Laudate Dominum) from Psalm 116 (117 in many English translations), and that of the third (Adoro te devote) from a hymn by StThomas Aquinas, whose Gregorian chant is also incorporated into the work. The euphony and elaborate part-writing of the Three Liturgical Chants place a serious task before choirs, particularly in terms of intonation. Especially the wide compass of Lux aeterna requires a professional choir. The pieces in the cycle can be purchased separately (Z. 14941, 14942 and 14943).
