Winter Solstice for women’s choir
Roger Dean has recently released my piece “Winter Solstice” for women’ choir (mostly SSA) and harp or piano (catalog #15/2715R). The piece is in two movements and lasts about nine minutes. The piece was commissioned and premiered by the Santa Fe Women’s Ensemble and sets gorgeous nature texts by two New Mexico poets.. The music reflects the wonderful imagery of the itexts with a lot of very sweet, flowing phrases, is not difficult, and has been a hit with singers and audiences in New Mexico and elsewhere. Contact me or Roger Dean if you would like a perusal score. The texts are great for any winter-themed (or seasons themed) concert and do not reference Christmas or other religious language.

Thanks, Paul

Chinese Folk Song, Arr. Wayland Rogers
Mo Li Hua, (Jasmine Flower) probably the most well-known of Chinese Folk Songs, has just been released in an arrangement by Wayland Rogers for SATB, flute and plucked string instrument. The dual-language text, in Mandarin and English, extols the beauty of the Jasmine Flower. The haunting melody, used intensively by Puccini in Turandot, in this version is restored to a more authentic style. Published by Boosey and Hawkes.
