Within the Circles of Our LIves [level: Medium]
Giselle Wyers
| Giselle Wyers Choral Series
voicing: SSATB | catalog number: SBMP 1395 | duration: 4:25
| price: $2.05
accompaniment: a cappella
The profound text by Wendell Berry offers some possibilities for choirs wishing to add a bit of staging to their performance. The composer, reflecting on the text, uses ascending intervals of the fifth, sixth, and fourth as motives symbolic of a circle. At the conclusion, the sopranos having been together throughout, now divide into two parts, echoing each other to add to the drama of the ending. This is a cleverly constructed composition that will delight singers as they bring it to life.

Ye Jaliya-o [level: Medium]
Joan Szymko
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 726 | price: $2.80
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 s. Also available in SSA.

As the music builds to its peak, it travels through lush harmonies, with much textual overlay adding to the intensity of the journey. After a final dramatic choral splash the music peacefully ends with the simple unity of a soul-felt song. Beautiful.
