Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.916562 Composed by Deborah Park. Christian,World. Octavo. 7 pages. Deborah Park #4633875. Published by Deborah Park (A0.916562). Anmerkung der Komponistin      Das Vaterunser (Global Version) ist eine zeitgenössische Fassung des Vaterunsers, in der pentatonische Tonleitern und Kombinationen aus traditionellen und nicht-traditionellen Harmonien und Rhythmen verwendet werden. Das Gebet selbst ist ein Plädoyer dafür, dass Gottes Wille in jedem von uns getan wird. Infolgedessen sollte während der gesamten Arbeit eine aufrichtige und ernsthafte Stimmung im Vordergrund stehen. Die meisten Christen kennen das Gebet auswendig in ihrer eigenen Sprache und es wird heute von jeder christlichen Tradition verwendet. Ich habe die globale Version für drei verschiedene Sprachen geschrieben: Englisch, Deutsch und Koreanisch.      Diese Hymne ist im Stil des Responsorial-Gesangs gehalten: Ein Solist singt eine Linie, der der Chor oder die Klavierbegleitung folgen. Jede Passage wird auf ihre eigene Weise entwickelt, aber die übliche Technik, die in dieser Arbeit verwendet wird, ist die systematische Verwendung von Wiederholungen, die dem Vorhandenen neue Texturschichten hinzufügen (z. B. mm.11–18 und mm. 19–33). Diese Technik beginnt mit einer einfachen Figur, die einige Male mit leichten Abweichungen wiederholt wird. Das Klavier mit einer einfachen viertaktigen Passage führt in den neuen Abschnitt und die neue Zeit ein. Dann treten Chor, Solist und Klavier im leicht modifizierten Call-and-Response Stil auf. Die verwendeten Rhythmen in mm. 27–31 sind eine Variation von Gutgeori jang dan, einem der traditionellen koreanischen Rhythmen, die diese globale Version einzigartig machen.      Der letzte Abschnitt, der Gott Ehre macht, ist die Doxologie, in der vertraute Akkorde und Kadenzen plötzlich zu ungewohnter Harmonie führe, um die Ehrfurcht und das Staunen widerzuspiegeln, die zum Ende von „Amen in D-Dur führen. Wenn es richtig ausbalanciert und gemischt ist, schimmert das Lied mit einer Brillanz, die die Ehrfurcht und das Wunder widerspiegelt, das es erschaffen sollte.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.930199 Composed by John Newell. Contemporary. Octavo. 18 pages. Abierto Music #3479359. Published by Abierto Music (A0.930199). On a Forest Path is the final movement of the composer's larger work, A Timbered Choir, settings of poems by Wendell Berry. It depicts various scenes that the poet encounters on his walks through the woods, and his reflections upon them. The piano takes on the role of the poet. The text consists of nine brief poems, composed at different times; several of them are only single line in length. The choral episodes are very approachable, with only a few moments of divisi, primarily for the sopranos. This creates a terrific opportunity to focus on color and the beautiful imagery of the poet's words. For more information on the composer's works visit www.johnnewellmusic.com.

SSATB chorus a cappella - Digital Download SKU: BJ.1481 Composed by Håkan Svensson. Secular. 12 pages. Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital #1481. Published by Bo Ejeby Forlag - Digital (BJ.1481). 8.27 x 11.7 inches.In 'The peace of wild things', the American poet Wendell Berry (born 1934) deals with existential anxiety. Though published in 1968, the message is just as urgent today. Our news feeds shower us with reports about war, climate and environmental catastrophes, and about authoritarian regimes advancing their positions. What will become of us? What kind of world are we passing on to our children?This poem gives me a ray of hope in the midst of despair, offering a moment’s rest while my own – and all mankind’s – smallness is revealed. It also allows me to sense the presence of something greater.My musical interpretation is based on these reflections. The conflict between anxiety and peace, dissonance and consonance, open textures versus clusters. The piece and its phrases are well-suited to interpretation, and to being performed with a great deal of freedom. – Håkan Svensson.
