and novelist who wrote librettos for Verdi, among other composers,
of which the best known are Aida and the revised version of La
Forza del Destino.
for cambiata (opt. div.), baritone, and piano Brooke's arrangement
of this traditional sea shanty is invigorating and atmospheric.
Changing voices will enjoy the theme of trains and ships in the
text, as well as the boisterous call-and-response texture, which is
well-supported by the piano. The verses break into a reflective a
cappella section before giving way to a rousing finish!

SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied Am Abend is a setting of
'Grodek', which is thought to be the last work of the Austrian poet
Georg Trakl. Written in 1913, the year before Trakl committed
suicide at the age of 27, the poem is set in the town of Grodek on
the Eastern Front, where he had served as a medical officer.
Jackson's setting is agonizingly moving, opening with an eerie alto
melody before the rest of the choir enter with haunting harmonies
and cluster chords, reflecting the darkness of the text. Grace
notes and glissandi add an Eastern flavour and evoke the 'wild
lament' and 'dark flutes' of Trakl's poem. Jackson's setting builds
to a powerful climax, before the altos close with a quiet, repeated
fragment on 'die ungebornen Enkel' ('the unborn grandsons'). First
performed by the BBC Singers, directed by Paul Brough, at Milton
Court Concert Hall, London, on 11 February 2016.

This setting of the Te Deum, dedicated to the wife of Franz I of
Austria, is a rare example of a work from Haydn's late period that
doesn't feature soloists. The second of Haydn's Te Deum settings,
the work was performed in September 1800 on the name-day of the
wife of Haydn's patron, Prince Nicolaus Esterhazy II, and it
features the C major tonality and extensive use of trumpets and
drums that were often associated with festive ceremony. This
edition includes an orchestral reduction by Denis McCaldin, and
full details of editorial practice can be found in the full score.
Complete orchestral and vocal material is available on hire/rental,
and the vocal score is also available on sale.
