11 Songs-High Voice Piano. Rorem N

Agnus Dei-For the text Britten interspersed the Latin Mass For The Dead with nine poems written by Wilfred Owen a World War I foot soldier who was killed a week before the Armistice. This only makes the meaning more poignant for this decidedly anti-war piece. Agnus Dei is written for Tenor Solo SATB with an Organ Accompaniment.

Traditional Spiritual-The title of Ain't That News is a tribute to the superb Staple Singers who dang a piece by that name not otherwise quoted in this chart. The opening seven measures are an adaptation of an old Paul Robeson 78. The rest of the piece is original material intended to pay homage to both the black church and black popo music just one of the many genres that owes its soul to the spiritual. The composer states My goal is to allow even the most demure chorister to have at least a little taste of what it would be like to be Aretha Franklin.SS/A . Hatfield S

No. 5 The Prayer of the Raven-Prayers From The Ark No.5 - Prayer of the Raven for Mixed Voices.

Spiritual- Walter Hawkins' I'm Goin' Up A Yonder arranged by Paul Read for SATB chorus and Piano. This is an expressive gospel song that begins softly and builds in texture and dynamics climaxing at the key chane with the addition of a soaring descant. The repetition of the text I'm goin' up a yonder constructs a sense of longing and expectation. Ideal for choirs of all standards including children's choirs.

Beauty Sleeping-Voice Piano (French English). Thomson V

KV 581-This arrangement by Derek Hyde is a reduction for B flat Clarinet and Piano accompaniment. The original full ensemble is one of Mozart's popular Quintet compositions.

The main body of this work consists of an extended invocation in the style of a polychoral motet based on an anonymous Latin text and ending with a plea for peace. This is preceded by a briefer introductory section based on passages from the Old Testament in which the horrors of violence and oppression are described. This section features the use of several extra-musical effects (whispering hissing finger- and tongue-clicks foot-stamping and indeterminate clusters) most of which form part of the South African choral tradition.SSSSAAAA.

No. 3 The Castle of Dromore-It was traditional for travelling musicians in Ireland to compose music named for individuals or families of influence that they met on their journeys. These tributes were known as planxties. Planxty Kelly celebrates that tradition. Written in response to the tremendous generosity of her community Planxty Kelly is a tribute to a young woman whose all too brief life touched family friends teachers and fellow musicians in countless and memorable ways. Traditional Irish tunes have been arranged to honour Kelly's Irish-American heritage and love of both singing and dancing.

As President of Juilliard William Schuman requested a major piece from his close friend in celebration of the school's fiftieth anniversary. Copland thought the Juilliard anniversary an ideal occasion for the premiere of Piano Fantasy which he was composing in honour of William Kapell. Copland admitted that it was difficult to write particularly the fast sections. He explained My purpose was to suggest the quality of fantasy a spontaneous and unpremeditated sequence of events that would carry the listener along while at he same time exemplify clear if somewhat unconventional structural principles. Although the work was not ready by the date for which it wascommissioned Schuman arranged a special concert for the premiere by the pianist William Masselos. Copland commented Lucky for me that the president of Juilliard was a composer! Piano. Copland A
