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 and organ
This melifluous Advent setting opens in a still and contemplative mood reminiscent of plainsong before a thrilling section heralded by the first entry of the organ. The piece finishes as it began - a perfect Advent blend of meditation and drama.

Advent

Reviews

  • 'Gabriel Jackson's Creator of the Stars of Night sets an anonymous 7th-century poem and, like Cecilia Virgo, inhabits an approachable yet cliché-free harmonic world . . . the organist will need well-oiled fingers - although for the choir this pieces is easier than its predecessor.' -Armin Zanner, Music Teacher May 2005

The specification in this catalogue, including without limitation price, format, extent, number of illustrations, and month of publication, was as accurate as possible at the time the catalogue was compiled.
