In 2017, I was commissioned by the Svanholm Singers to write a work for inclusion in a concert marking 70 years since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Choosing a text was difficult. I came across upon a poem by American poet Maya Angelou, but it struck me as being too powerful and emotional for the music I was writing to carry it; everything I composed sounded banal next to Angelou's words.

I soon realized that I could use silence to enhance the text, rather than heaping layers and layers of music upon it. Silence is both terrifying and serious - in a sense, it is the only adequate counterpoint to the poetry.

So, I decided to build the piece on silence.
Though the beginning of the piece is the opposite of silence - a scream of desperation - I followed that outburst by cutting the poem's stanzas into single words, repeated in a different order each time, almost in the manner of a mantra.

Finally, they end up in the right order and suddenly the words take on their rightful meaning. I hope, in this way, the music is equally powerful as the words.
Son to Mother has been well-received and has gone on to become one of the most widely performed pieces I have written. It has been performed at various festivals and in various countries, including Taiwan, France and China - where it only just made it past the government censors.
Also available for mixed choir.
Henrik Dahlgren is a Swedish composer, born 1991. He has been studying at the Academy Of Music in Malmo with Prof. Rolf Martinsson and the Royal College Of Music in London with Dr. Haris Kittos. Henrik started his musical career as a drummer and has ever since worked in a very wide range of different genres and styles, both as a performer and as a composer.

March of the Spooky Things is an original composition. It does “borrow� the theme from Hall of the Mountain King by Edvard Grieg in his Peer Gynt Suite.
This is a great piece for the fall or spring concert. All the wind ranges are within the range of a 2nd-year or 1st-year 2nd semester year player. Only the Clarinets, Alto Sax and Trumpet have split parts. This is mostly for range and harmonic expansion. 2nd clarinets never go above the break. Low brass/WW are mostly unison, but they do have some independence. At the end, ms. 66, there is an optional blood-curdling scream that is NOT notated in the parts. Have fun with this.

All sections get the melody and percussion even has an 8-measure feature. I hope your students and your audience will have fun. As always, I appreciate all comments and critique at - kylemacmusic@gmail.com.

The easy, lilting Guatemalan folk song is infectiously melodic with call and response harmonies throughout.  The joy and delight of dancing and singing is expressed throughout as well as the love of homeland.  Often referred to as El Grito Cancion (The Scream Song) as the singer crys out with delight at measures 32-34.   Keep it light with a bounce!

Named after a well-loved children's Halloween game, this wonderful selection for young band brings the spooky sounds of haunted houses and Halloween to life. Whether you program it in the fall, winter, or spring it's sure to be a favorite. The piece gives your low brass and woodwinds some prominent melodic material, makes clever use of novel percussion, and even includes a flute section scream!
