Description

New Horizons showcases the wealth of exciting, innovative, and occasionally challenging choral music being written today. It encompasses the whole gamut of small-scale choral genres, both secular and sacred, and includes pieces for upper-voice and mixed choirs. With titles by some of the most accomplished choral composers active in Great Britain and abroad, the series introduces new repertoire and fresh talent to a broad spectrum of choirs.
New Horizons features composers with growing reputations for quality composition reflecting a strong individual voice. The series is continually expanding and should be the first place to look for attractive and performable contemporary choral music.

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied
This piece stems from an ongoing partnership between the composer and the writer Richard George Elliott. The profound sentiments expressed in Elliot's poem about the firmament are evoked by Jackson's use of colourful, shimmering textures and an underlying sense of spaciousness. An impressive concert work, this is complex but utterly compelling choral writing.

Reviews

• Lux mortuorum invokes light in the most powerful terms at the opening, and then explores the space, colour, and movement of each individual phrase, seeking to illuminate the complex modern poem at every point.' Rosemary Broadbent, Church Music Quarterly, December 07
