for SATB and organ, with optional congregation This hymn-anthem of
thanksgiving begins gently and tenderly, but builds to a rousing
climax. It culminates with a verse of the hymn Now thank we all our
God (which may be sung by the congregation in addition to the
choir), underlaid by a powerful organ part and with a soaring
descant line above.
for SATB and brass ensemble or full orchestra Gloria was written in
1974 in response to a commission from The Voices of Mel Olson, a
choir based in the USA. The division of the work into three
movements a respectively proclamatory, prayerful, and joyfully
affirmative a corresponds to the divisions in the text. Most of the
melodic material derives from a Gregorian chant associated with
this text. An accompaniment for orchestra without organ is also
available. Full scores, vocal scores, and instrumental parts are
available on hire. The first movement of Gloria is available
separately under the title Gloria 1.
for SATB, piano, and optional saxophone, bass, and drum kit
Ophelia, Caliban, and Miranda puts a jazzy twist on three
Shakespearean characters. With newly written texts by Charles
Bennett, each of the three movements focuses in on Ophelia from
Hamlet and Caliban and Miranda from The Tempest. In the funky
opener, 'River Bride', the upper voices take the part of Ophelia,
while the tenors and basses play a lover figure. Caliban's song,
'Ariel taught me how to play', is a reflective ballad in which the
slave tells Miranda, who has escaped his advances, about the spirit
helper Ariel teaching him to play the saxophone. The final
movement, 'All good things come to an end', is a sassy yet tender
number, where Miranda bids farewell to her beloved husband
Ferdinand, declaring: 'I've gone back to the island to remember who
I am'. The saxophone, bass, piano, and drum kit parts may be played
as written or serve as a guide.
