Maybe this is the time we need a bit of explanation about the finer points of cricket. After all, when you look closely, how to beat the Aussies is quite clear. The England team simply needs to take note………! - Ave Maria
Barry Russell's Psalm 23 has been very popuar with upper voice choirs for years, now here's another in the same style. - The Seven Ages of Song
What was the first tune you ever sang? It’s likely you don’t remember, but there’s an even chance it was something like “Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star”, so that’s where we start! But we don’t stay in one phase for long, so during childhood our songs become a little more sophisticated. Then we reach our teenage years and become mildly rebellious with a bit of Rock’n’Roll. Moving on to our twenties and perhaps the rock becomes a little heavier! But soon it’s all cut short by romance, marriage and maybe children, heralding your maturity. So your music will naturally become more sophisticated, maybe with shades of George Gershwin et al. When the children grow up, perhaps that’s the time to join a male voice choir! Time passes by so quickly, but don’t despair! Our final stages of song can be reached only through experience. All our influences come to bear, and we produce an ecclectic and enjoyable mixture of all the styles we have passed through! Can all of this appear in one song? It certainly can! - Travel in Style
words and music by Elizabeth Sidebotham. This is the winning entry in the Composition Competition of the 2009 Cornwall International Male Voice Choir Festival. It takes a humorous and nostalgic look at various ways to travel! - The Great Fire of London - Vocal Score
Available now for Soprano solo, Baritone solo, SATB chorus and children’s choir, accompanied by 2 pianos and percussion. Duration 13 minutes. “The Great Fire of London” was commissioned by Neil Ferris and the Epworth Choir for their 50th anniversary concert. Also featured in the concert was the 2 pianos and percussion edition of Carl Orff’s Carmina Burana, so the choir asked for the same instrumentation. The work uses Samuel Pepys’ words from his eye-witness account of the first day of the fire. The children introduce the story with a rather threatening version of “London’s Burning”, during which Pepys’s maid (soprano solo) wakes him early in the morning to inform him of the fire. Pepys (baritone solo) takes a look but thinks it’s too far away to worry, and goes back to bed! As the fire and the panic spreads, the two soloists and the two choirs describe the events of Sunday September 2nd 1666 in some detail, building up to a huge climax when, in Pepys’s own words, we hear the “Cracking of houses at their ruin” Pepys’s vivid description includes some quite bizarre moments, including his seeing a barge floating down the Thames to escape the fire, loaded with just a pair of virginals. Also some very poignant moments as he witnesses the houses of close friends burning before him. - The Great Fire of London - Full Score
