Cynthia Schuneman of E.C.Schirmer

August 31, 2012 by David Janower Leave a Comment

I just found out that Cynthia Schuneman of E.C. Schirmer died 2 weeks ago.  What a wonderful woman. At conventions I’d gladly talk to her and Bob. She was one of those folks who was really interested in your and supportive and helpful and just wonderful to talk to. She will be missed. We are all a little poorer now. 
 
RIP, Cynthia. Thinking of you, Bob.

NEW – G. Schirmer Dale Warland Choral Series – I AM MUSIC by Dale Trumbore

August 12, 2015 by Dale Trumbore Leave a Comment

Composer Dale Trumbore‘s I am Music (SATB Chorus & Piano | 6′) is newly available from the G. Schirmer Dale Warland Choral Series. Commissioned by Brandon Elliott and Choral Arts Initiative, the music begins with energetic excitement and ends serenely, following the powerful statement “I am the instrument of God” as the choir whispers “I am music.”

TEXT

“I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves, and damns.  
I am the incense upon which prayers float to heaven.
I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips.

I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves open, I stand nearby.
I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths.
I open the lips of lovers and through me the dead whisper to the living.

I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field,
the crash of the waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of wind in the trees, and I am even heard 
by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets.

Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship.

I know my brother, yet all men are my brothers;
I am of them and they are of me, for I am the instrument of God.
I am music.”

—Anonymous, ca. 1919

Ring Out, Ye Bells!  |  SATB & Piano  |  4′
Available from MusicSpoke here
A winner of the VocalEssence Welcome Christmas Carol Contest, Ring Out, Ye Bells! is a jubilant new Christmas carol. As the piano evokes ringing bells and struck harps, the choir throws “all its power into singing!” in a triumphant ending.
 
Frozen In  |  SSA, Violin & Piano  |  5′
Available from Boosey & Hawkes (CME In High Voice Series) here
Frozen In evokes the icy calm of a placid winter evening walk and sets an evocative text full of crystalline imagery by contemporary poet Annie Finch.
 
A Valentine for Hands  |  SATB a cappella  |  4′
Available from Boosey & Hawkes (Yale Glee Club Choral Series) here
A Valentine for Hands describes the most beautiful and intimate images of love – “warm hands,” “gentlest sounds, touches and hours.” The text is set apart and isolated in sound, marked by gentle silences until halfway through the piece when the voices finally merge together, remaining that way – finally united, until the very end.

RIP Ronald Arnatt (1930-2018)

August 23, 2018 by Stanley M. Hoffman Leave a Comment

Dr. Ronald Arnatt passed away on August 23, 2018. Born in 1930, he had an exceptional professional career spanning both sides of the Atlantic. After receiving his music education at Trinity College, London, and Durham University in England, he emigrated to the United States.

In the United States, Dr. Arnatt held professorial or Director of Music positions at Trinity Church in Boston, Westminster Choir College in Princeton, American University, Christ Church Cathedral in St. Louis, the University of Missouri, and with the St. Louis Chamber Orchestra and Chorus.

He is known internationally for his choral, organ, and brass compositions, many of which are published by ECS Publishing Group. Dr. Arnatt was past President of the American Guild of Organists. His final post was Director of Music and Organist at St. John’s Church in Beverly Farms, Massachusetts.

May both his memory and his musical legacy be blessings.
