This important contemporary Requiem demonstrates Gabriel Jackson's
gift for writing mesmerising choral music on a large scale.
Combining sections of the traditional Requiem text with poems from
other cultures and traditions, Jackson here has created a work
which embraces a wide-ranging perspective on human mortality. Each
movement is given a different character and musical style, and the
result is a unique, sublime work which cannot fail to impress.
Vocal scores are available on sale and on hire/rental.

for vocal soloists or SATB choir and orchestra or reduced orchestra
Serenade to Music is sublime - one of the most stunningly beautiful
musical creations of the 20th century. This choral meditation on
the nature of music and its power to enrapture is a setting of text
from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This tender and
much-loved work was composed in 1938 in honour of Sir Henry Wood.
It was written for 16 soloists and orchestra but may also be sung
by four soloists and chorus, or by mixed-voice chorus. This
beautifully presented edition includes an introduction by Michael
Kennedy. Also available for full orchestra without choir.
for unison children's choir, SATB choir, and piano or strings This
beautiful song combines a melodic setting of Christina Rossetti's
'A Birthday' with Robert Burns's 'A Red, Red Rose', sung to the
tune of a traditional Scottish ballad. Both themes are imbued with
a sense of happiness and contentment with the world, and the
interplay between the melodies results in a truly stirring finish.
Also available for SATB and piano or strings.
for SATB, baritone solo and orchestra A newly engraved edition of
this vibrant choral work and fully compatible with the new Walton
Edition full score. There are minor adjustments to the piano
reduction to improve playability and the text underlay is now
English only, as Walton's original.
