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 setting of the Vesper Responsory exudes a confident radiance and sure belief that the 'Lord he shall be with you'. First published in Advent for Choirs, this setting is both approachable and gripping. A worthwhile alternative to the familiar Palestrina version.

Suitable for

Advent

Reviews

• 'Gabriel Jackson describes his music as essentially contemplative. This is true of both responses, which have a fluid but calm quality throughout. Through voice quality and varying tonalities - not to mention exquisite harmony - Jackson plays with different textures and colours to illustrate his text. These are challenging pieces, not least in respect of the control needed to sustain long lines and true intonation; but for the choir who could cope, they would be a worthwhile alternative to the Matin and Vesper Responsories by Palestrina.' -Music Teacher June 2004
• 'Gabriel Jackson, who has five works in the New Horizons opening salvo, has been steadily building a reputation since the early 1990s as one of the UK's most accomplished writers of choral music . . . Tomorrow go ye forth, for SATB choir, pays tribute to Tavener in its spare monodies over low drones at the fifth, alghough Jackson's own voice shines forth at the work's exultant, 'fiercely bright' E major climax . . . Jackson's assimilation of a range of influences and choral experience has resulted in a highly personal and rewarding idiom that can offer something to choirs of pretty much any ability level. It is good to see OUP making his work more widely available.' -Matthew Greenall, The Singer, Feb 2004
