Piano Sonata No. 1 Op.23

Utilizing the standard 3-movement sonata form, this vivacious Piano Sonata contrasts moments of great energy, verve, and rhythmic drive in the first and third movements with expressive yet dissonant writing in the second.

Fiducie

Fiducie, which can be translated as 'Faith', voices the vitality of Rotterdam, as witnessed in the recovered hope of the inhabitants after the bombardment of 14 May 1940. Ostinato patterns and energetic syncopations drive themusic boisterously to its sonorous conclusion.

With Voice and Pen : Coming to Know Medieval Song and How it Was Made

My beloved spake

For SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied This is a beautiful and dynamic setting of well-known words from the Song of Songs (or Song of Soloman). With a soaring soprano melody, McGlade's fluid vocal lines drive harmonic twists within an immediately accessible sound-world. Perfect for concert performance.

Angels we have heard on high

Benjamin Harlan's Angels We Have Heard On High for SATB (with divisions) and Piano.  Benjamin Harlan's spirited arrangement of the French carol Angels We HaveHeard On High has an energetic drive, a sparkling Piano part, and a joyful refrain. Its sprightly 7/8 metre brings a fresh take to this perennial favourite.

Deep In The Night

for SATB unaccompanied Originally published in Sun, Moon, Sea, and Stars, this piece sets a poem by Sara Teasdale that likens a heart seeking its love to a swallow's cry. Chydenius's rich harmonies, syncopated melodies, and modal inflections paint an image of the starry night, while the underpinning bass ostinato provides rhythmic drive.

O clap your hands

This high-energy, majestic setting of well-known words from the psalms is a welcome addition to the service repertory. The changing metre brings the text to the fore, and the semiquaver movement that passes between parts creates asense of motion and drive that is fitting for this uplifting and joyous hymn of praise.

Five Maskers

Zhou Long's realisation of this folk-dance, indigenous to north-east China, has all its kaleidoscopic colour and rhythmic drive, with some brilliant licks for each of the instruments. Scored for brass quintet (trumpet in Cdoubling piccolo trumpet, trumpet in B flat, horn in F, trombone, tuba), this work is within the technical range of good student groups, and amply repays the attention of professional ensembles.
