Vivos Voco [level: Difficult]
Joan Szymko
voicing: SSAA | catalog number: SBMP 615 | duration: 5:40
| price: $2.20
accompaniment: piano, handbells
The text consists of Virtutes, literally, "moral virtues," the name given to the short statements inscribed (primarily in Latin) on church tower bells in medieval times. Bells rang outward, chasing away the evil spirits that were believed to hover over the rooftops, and upward, as prayers to the heavens. Not only were church bells rung to ward off evil spirits, but to protect the faithful from storms, fires, human enemies and disease.VIVOS VOCO I call the livingFLEO MORTUA I cry for the dyingMORTUOS PLANGO I wail for the deadCONSOLO VIVA I console the livingDISSIPO VENTOS I disperse the windsCOMPELLO NUBILA I drive away the overcast of the skyThe composer has provided great drama with handbells ringing high above the choir, as well as the piano doing its best to be imitative of bells. A very dramatic piece that is excellent for the large choir.

Ye Jaliya-o [level: Medium]
Joan Szymko
voicing: SSA div. | catalog number: SBMP 734 | price: $2.10
accompaniment: percussion
From the notes by the composer: I am an admirer of traditional West African music, with its direct simplicity and wonderful rhythmic complexity. I have composed an original piece of music with text excerpts from “The Pulse of Life” by Catherine De Vinck interwoven with the dominant Lambango lyric:“Ye Jaliya-o, Allah le ka Jaliya da”Oh music, God created music.The “you are the heart, you are the sound....” “Pulse of Life” chant begins as an undercurrent that rises and falls until it overtakes the piece. The rhythms in this piece are clearly African influenced, as is its tonality. The raised fourth (C sharp) is characteristic of Sauta, one of the kora traditional tunings. The kora is a 21 string harp-lute played by the griots as a lead instrument. Also available in SATB
