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 unaccompanied
This is an exquisite piece, simple and homophonic in style, and
with a luminescent beauty characteristic of many of Jackson's choral works. The piece begins quietly and reverently. There is a graceful soprano solo in the central section, after which the harmony
opens out and richly blossoms in ecstatic praise of the Virgin Mary, before ending serenely as it began. Suitable for liturgical or concert use.
Blessed Virgin Mary
- 'Here, local strangeness of harmony bespeaks mystery and awe, and one appreciates and enjoys the pressure of meaning behind the marking 'urgent'. The frequent divisions yield lush textures.
Conceived as a birthday present for the composer's mother, it comes over a a beautiful paean to motherhood.' -Peter Dale, Choir & Organ Sept 06
