CME In Low Voice

CME In Low Voice

arr. Stephen Hatfield


This English sea shanty, already a success in SATB
and 3-Part Mixed voicings, is now available for
mens chorus, just the way it would have been
heard originally when sung by sailors as they
pulled long heavy ropes on early Navy vessels.
48021248 TTBB a cappella$1.90

Stephen Hatfield
Son de Camaguey is a Cuban folk song from which the composer
takes the refrain and then frames it with kaleidoscopic patterns of
ostinati inspired by the song, and by Afro-Cuban music in general.
Already one of the most exciting renditions from Stephen Hatfield as
an SATB piece, it is now available for mens and womens choirs.

Brothers of the Singing Void


CME In Low Voice

CME In Low Voice

David L. Brunner
Commissioned for the 2010 Southern Division ACDA Mens Honor
Choir, David Brunners broad and majestic music paired with James
Broughtons powerful words, combine to make the perfect piece for
mens chorus. In the text are found unusual juxtapositions of seeming opposites: percussive silences, the intimate roar, the singing
void, and a strong bond of brotherhood: thriving on affection and
closer to me than my own children. Let your ears ring with the
sound the stars make.
48021117 TTBB divisi$2.25

David L. Brunner
Infectious rhythms and playful melodies characterize this setting of an original Spanish text. Already
a hit with Mixed and 2-Part treble choirs, this new
voicing for mens voices is long overdue and will be
a welcome addition to the mens choir repertoire.

Gloria, a large-scale festival piece cast in five

Also included are religious texts from the Bible,
the Quran, St. Francis of Assisi and Bahullh, and the poetry of
Shelley, Malory, Terry Waite and Carol Barratt. One line from the
Persian mystic poet Rumi sums up the ethos of the work: All religions,

Sacred Songs
The pieces contained in this volume can either be

may be selected to make up a shorter suite. If
performing the whole suite, the order in which
the pieces appear in this volume should be followed. Movements from several of Jenkinss most
popular choral/orchestral works (The Armed Man:
A Mass for Peace, Requiem, and Stabat Mater) are
represented in this lovely compilation.

Stabat Mater
For Contralto solo,
SATB Chorus and Orchestra

A major new choral/orchestral work from the


composer of Adiemus and The Armed Man.
The 13th-century Latin sequence, set by many
famous composers of the past, receives a fresh
expression and intensity in Karl Jenkinss setting. The work is divided into twelve movements
and incorporates additional texts including Ave
verum corpus (originally composed for Bryn Terfel), Lament by
Carol Barratt, and English texts derived from ancient Babylonian and
medieval Persian sources. By turns dramatic and reflective, Stabat
Mater will be eagerly seized on by Jenkins fans everywhere. Suitable
for choirs of intermediate standard upwards.
