COMPOSITION SPOTLIGHT ~ by Jack Senzig
(The Composition Showcase is a unique resource for conductors. Choral composers are allowed to share only a few of their best works. Each week we offer you the best of the best on a silver platter. The Silver Platter Award winners are works that your choirs will love to sing and your audiences will love to hear)
This week’s Silver Platter Award Winner:
Level: Advanced High School or Higher
Uses: General Concert Use
Program Themes: Night, Sea, Sky
This Piece Would Program Well With: Silver Night by Melinda Bargreen in the Composition Showcase
I was delighted this week to get a new work by the very talented Melinda Bargreen added to the Composition Showcase. The consistent quality of her work is impressive. If your choir is ready for professional level range and harmony, this piece will be worth your while. Night ranks among my favorite works we have to offer and is on par with an earlier work by Bargreen titled Silver Night. I would readily program these two works together. Enjoy the quality recordings Melinda has offered us as well.
