Praise Him with the Sound of the Trumpet : for SSAATTBB and Organ

Praise Him with the Sound of the Trumpet was commissioned by Alan and Victoria Young to celebrate the eighteenth birthday of their daughter, Kate, to whom the anthem is dedicated. The first performance was given by the Choir of Guildford Cathedral, in which Kate had been a chorister for some time. Kateʼs great love of music guided the composerʼs choice of text: Psalm 150 is one of the shortest of all the psalms, but has the longest list of musical instruments  trumpet, timbrel and dance, stringed instruments and organs, the psaltery and harp, loud and high-sounding cymbals  all inviting jubilant musical illustration.Praise Him with the Sound of the Trumpet was commissioned by Alan and Victoria Young to celebrate the eighteenth birthday of their daughter, Kate, to whom the anthem is dedicated.

The Orgelbüchlein Project : Volume 4: Christian Life and Conduct

The Orgelbüchlein Project is a collective composition project aiming to complete Bach’s unfinished manuscript known as ‘Orgelbüchlein’. In the ‘Little Organ Book’, Bach laid out a complete hymnal of short organ chorale, 164 in all, but only completed 46 of them. Why the remaining 118 were left as blank pages, with only a title at the head, remains a mystery, but they inspired organists William Whitehead to found the Orgelbüchlein Project, in which contemporary composers are invited to contribute a piece to completing the collection. The resulting collection, to be published in eight volumes, represents a cross-section of the most interesting composers at work today acrossEurope. More information about the project is available at www.orgelbuechlein.com.

The Pearl

When I was approached by Salisbury Cathedral to write a 30th anniversary anthem for their Girl Choristers, I immediately thought of the traditional 30th wedding anniversary symbol  a pearl. When George Herbert was also requested, it was incredible serendipity that he had actually written a poem of that title: The Pearl. Matthew 13:45. This was inspired by the very short parable which compares the immense value of the Kingdom of Heaven to the most exquisite pearl a merchant could sell: a merchant seeking goodly pearls, on finding one of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it. Herbert expands all that he had to include things of worldly worth such as learning, honour and pleasure, but concludes that there is an immeasurably greater and more priceless gift: the costly love of Christ which is the Kingdom of Heaven. I worried that a poem claiming knowledge of some quite grown-up things might not be suitable for the girls, but their luminescent ageless sound and their incredibly mature attitude in rehearsal dispelled that fear. They gave me a list of things theyʼd like included in the piece  I managed nineteen out of twenty-three requests: smooth, soft, strong, high, staccato, triplets, semiquavers, minor keys, suspension, high parts, gentle bits, two part harmony, medium pace, soft but nice, quick and music telling a story. I am very grateful to John and June Chichester and the Salisbury Cathedral Girl Choristersʼ; Foundation for this prestigious and exciting commission, to David Halls and Precentor Anna Macham for their musical and theological collaboration throughout the creative process and especially to the girl choristers themselves, for suggesting me for the job.
