English. Text Source: Sight, Archibal Lampman, 1861–1899, alt. Text by Archibald Lampman.
The COVID-19 pandemic lockdown of spring 2020 has affected people’s lives drastically. Gatherings have been stopped, people have been confined to their homes, and physical distancing has become the norm. Composers have responded to these changes in a multitude of ways, for me, it has resulted in the creation of music that uplifts and reconnects people. “The World” sets Archibald Lampman’s powerful poem “Sight,” the words seeming particularly poignant for our times. Working in collaboration with my vocal quartet Anchorae, we invited people from across the world to submit recordings of themselves singing a part of the piece. The resulting recording by the Anchorae Isolation Choir features submissions from three countries, bringing people together through music. —Peter Relph Watch this performance on YouTube .

For SATB and 3 solo voices unaccompanied With words drawn from an anonymous poem depicting Mary's woeful lullaby to her newborn son, this reflective piece draws the three solo voices from the chorus and situates them away from the main body of the choir. The increased distance from the congregation or audience enhances the timeless aspect of this work, reflected in the words and music.

This work was commissioned for the choir of St. Paul's Old Church, Edinburgh, who gave the first performance on the 11th of June 1989 at St. Giles' Church, Edinburgh, conducted by Leslie Shankland. This is a setting in Scots of the passage in the Apocalypse where St. John hears a voice from the throne, that voice appearing here as soprano-alto duets from a distance, building, as Davies has said, ' fine bridge' from the time of the Edinburgh church to the present. Both vocal groups sing in translucent modal harmony with organ support.

Hakola composed the Kivi Songs in Paris in spring 2007. Distance and pining for home conjured forth from the poems timeless echoes of the primitive folk singer. It was as if the poems had the seeds of melodies hidden deep in ageless recesses. These seven songs exist also in orchestral versions. Texts in Finnish.
