Choral Choir,Choral (SSAA) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1396191 Composed by Brendan Graham. Arranged by arranged for solo and SSAA choir by Desmond Earley. Celtic,Irish. 8 pages. Seolta Music Limited #979575. Published by Seolta Music Limited (A0.1396191). Arranged for solo female voice, SSAA choir and piano, this is a song of hope, the hope of a girl to escape the workhouse during the Irish Famine years and to travel to make a new life in Australia. At the time the British Crown was encouraging girls to emigrate as a means to redress the gender balance in the colonies – there were too many men and not enough women. Over four thousand young women took this journey between 1848 and 1850. The composer Brendan Graham expressed his own hope that this song might have significance for the descendants of those girls, many of whom were present at the song’s first performance in 2012 at the Irish Famine Commemoration in Sydney.

Choral Choir,Choral (SSAA) - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1282615 Composed by Reto Stadelmann. 21st Century,Christian,Contemporary,Religious,Sacred. 5 pages. Reto Stadelmann Music #873871. Published by Reto Stadelmann Music (A0.1282615). A requiem for women's choir (four parts). The composition creates a mystical effect through its long phrases, immersing the listener in a reverent silence that invites remembrance of deceased loved ones, friends, and acquaintances, as well as tragic events. The requiem was created for the open-air theater production 'Bauernkrieg 1653' in commemoration of the armed conflict in Switzerland between the peasants and the authoritarian rule of the cities. The fact that the requiem was written for a women's choir expresses that often women are the ones who suffer the most as survivors.
