The Garden of Dreams [level: Medium]
Matthew Emery
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1816 | duration: 4'35"
| price: $2.80
accompaniment: piano
The poetry by Bliss Carman speaks of a refuge; a garden safe from harm where we are sheltered from the fragility of life, and are provided a safe haven for our memories to dwell. This unique work unfolds over a flowing piano line which weaves in and out of the various choral textures and reminds us of our capacity to love, and to be loved. There are moments of polyphony and homophony in the choral writing which emerge and intertwine like blossoming flowers. A lovely ballad with standard ranges in all voice parts (with optional cue notes).

The Gift to Sing [level: Medium]
Matthew Emery
| Jamie Hillman Choral Series
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 1663 | duration: c. 3’25”
| price: $2.60
accompaniment: piano
The Gift to Sing, the inaugural piece in the Jamie Hillman Choral Series, is a setting of the poem of the same name by revered African American poet and civil rights leader James Weldon Johnson. Matthew Emery’s (b. 1991) unique ability to tell a story through song is perfectly coupled with Johnson’s hopeful and inspiring words on the power of singing to overcome grief, strife, and adversity. The work utilizes a somewhat varied strophic form, though phrases are slightly varied and developed. Different textures are created so that each section presents the main theme, and various voices add counterpoint which cause the piece to blossom. An exciting choice for concert, festival, honor choir, competition, assembly, or Black History Month.

David N. Childs
voicing: SATB | catalog number: SBMP 899 | duration: 3:15

accompaniment: piano
A sophisticated, though not difficult piece, the composer has this to say about the Rumi text (translated by Coleman Barks) and the performance of the music: Rumi had such great insight into the human soul and condition—his message of peace, love, and beauty transcends time and all cultures. I encourage the performers to meditate upon the text for some time before studying the music so that they may bring their own insights, thoughts, and interpretations to the process. The director should take great liberty with tempo – the text is timeless, and the musical phrases should likewise have a liquid, timeless feel to them.

voicing: SATB, solo soprano | catalog number: SBMP 1409 | duration: 70:00

accompaniment: piano, and string orchestra
Labeled a “masterpiece” by all who have heard it, this received its premier in Norway performed by Conspirare conducted by Craig Hella Johnson. Set to a profound text by Euan Tait, composer Arnesen has again created a very special addition to the library of major works.
FROM THE POET, Euan Tait:
The Wound in the Water explores the theme of Mammon by singing of our exile and the wounding of our world, of the beauty of the earth, and of the struggle of profoundly divided humanity towards a shared song. Mammon, the traditional symbol of the love of greed and money, is a force that divides us, both internally — we become divided from ourselves, from our capacity for love - and communally — human beings become creatures of competition and conflict. Our relationship with ourselves, others, and the vividly living planet that is our home, slowly erodes and then collapses — and we come to live as homeless exiles in this threefold sense. This work recognizes the long journey towards healing that we have to undergo, and ends with a fragile attempt at a shared song.

Like a fine artist, the composer paints a beautiful picture of this text by Wordsworth. Conservative ranges, and very little divisi put this piece within the reach of most choirs. The soprano solo adds interest to the piece, and it too, is conservative in its range; the 5-bar incidental tenor solo is at the octave with the soprano soloist. As the Wordsworth text suggests, “sing a joyous song!”
