One from the Folder: Repertoire Thoughts for Women’s/Treble Choirs

“A Pavane for the Nursery” by Steven Sametz.

Text by William Jay Smith.

SSAA, a cappella.

As sit here watching my sleeping son, I am reminded of the beauty and the joy that comes from unconditional love. Sametz’ music and Smith’s text together put that feeling into existence as a song, and I look forward to introducing the piece to my choirs.

Commissioning Consortiums

Commissioning a new piece of music is a wonderful way to participate in the life cycle of our choral art. This endeavor directly supports composers, and it furthers the expansion of our current field of repertoire. One way to commission new works is to be a part of a commissioning consortium.

“Crossing the Bar” by Gwyneth Walker 
Text by Alfred, Lord Tennyson 
SSAA, piano or orchestra 

Many of you are likely familiar with the work of iconic American composer Gwyneth Walker, and likely have even heard this particular selection – as vocal solo, SATB, SSAA, or TTBB. However, the piece was such a resounding success on my spring choral-orchestral concert this year, I can’t help but share it!

“8 Ways to Look at a Window” by Marjorie Halloran
Text by Francesca Myhrvold
SSAA, a cappella

“8 Ways to Look at a Window” is a collection of 8 miniatures – a set of character pieces by Marjorie Halloran, from poetry by Francesca Myhrvold. The story tells of a girl who gets to choose a new bedroom in their house, instead of sharing with her sister. She picks the smaller bedroom, with less closet space – but it has a window. Each movement tells a different bit of the view from the window.

“Wild Embers” by Melissa Dunphy
Text by Nikita Gill
SSAA, a cappella

I met Melissa at the Composer’s Fair during the recent ACDA national conference in Kansas City. She had a number of works for SSAA ensembles, and every one of them had a purposefully-chosen poetic text that rose off the page along with the music. Her work had life and energy and feisty passion, and I wanted to program it all! Among her works, “Wild Embers” is at the top of my list for a future performance.
