Chiemsee-Messe. Par HAYDN JOHANN MICHAEL. Among Haydn’s over thirty settings of the Latin Ordinary, the Missa in honorem Sanctae Ursula occupies an outstanding position, which, according to the autograph, was completed on 5 August 1793. This Mass has been referred to as the most “Mozartian” of all his masses. With its song-like melodic character, the unity of the motivic material and the harmonius…

Par DOBSON SIMON. Little Hymn was composed by award-winning composer Simon Dobson (b.1981) to provide an alternative to the traditional hymn tune settings that provide one of the foundations of the brass band repertoire.

Par DILWORTH ROLLO. Historically, the arts have always fulfilled the dual roles of responding to change while at the same time creating change. Weather is a poem that gives voice to the voiceless, especially those who have been and continue to be marginalized because of difference. It responds to and reflects realities that are both culturally specific and humanly universal. Professor Claudia Rank…

Par ARCHER DARRELL. When a prelude or offertory is played, it is obvious when the congregation occasionally gets ?swept away? and becomes intensely involved in the spirit of the music. Some may even begin to clap their hands in response to a favorite rhythmic hymn, gospel tune or anthem. With its messages of hope, resurrection and redemption, the music of the Easter season is a source of great joy…
