Format : Vocal Score
Welcome is a work composed by Edward Gregson arranged for Upper Voices and Piano. It was originally composed for boys' voices Organ Brass and Percussion in 1996 but ten years later Gregson created a new version especially for the Kinder Children's Choir of the High Peak. This latter version appears here and lasts around 4 minutes. The text of Welcome consists of the word 'Welcome' repeated numerous times in a variety of languages from English to various European languages to Hebrew and Arabic. Gregson's idea was to provide a fitting way to welcome a new and diverse audience into a newconcert hall designed for a new Millennium. The voices are divided into as many as six parts in certain places but it's left to the conductor to decide on how to distribute these parts depending on the size and make-up of the choir. The work is suitable for performance by any mixture of upper voices from children's choirs to female voices. In the January/February 2016 issue of Choir & Organ Geoffrey Webber calls Welcome 'an ear-catching start for any concert programme.'

Commissioned by Richard Deering with funds provided by the Arts Council of Great Britain and first performed by him in October 1982 in Amsterdam. The title is the same as the Schoenberg ones of 1911 and like those pieces my title is something of an understatement. They are not musically or technically undemanding as the title may perhaps suggest. In my case these pieces were in a sense sketches for my larger scale Piano Sonata of the following year. Each piece has its own essential character, but all of them are linked in the use of common pitch material. There is more than a hint of parody in the mood of the music.
