Cont emporary Classical meets Jazz Grooves.Theremin' s Journey is quite different. True, there is a piano - which plays bluesy, filmic, generally quite unmemorable music - but add in the theremin and pre-recorded electronics and the listener is off on a bizarre jazz meets sci-fi meets film-pop journey. The high-pitched spooky whine of the theremin is unmistakable, and unforgettable in small doses, as here; the work was in fact commissioned by Joanne Pearce Martin, who plays both theremin and piano. This track actually carries a 'health' warning on the cover: Crackles are part of the electronic track and are intentional: the CD is not defective! As it happens, the crackling is not particularly noticeable, and in general the electronics are atmospheric and additive in combination with the theremin. Especially the first and last two or three minutes of the 'journey' are really quite fascinating musically. (musicweb-international.c om, May 2011) // Theremin's Journey places that curiously otherworldly instrument and piano in cheeky avant-garde tandem with electronic sonorities...(GRAMOPHONE, August 2011).

I Have Heard the Music There for treble voices, optional descant, with piano is a lyrical work that utilizes a reoccurring motif which grows and varies. The developing variation-like use of this theme speaks to the image or notion of growth; the growth of a tree, of a person, or a choir. We may start out small, then vary, change, develop, transform. The vocal line’s slight variation, use of repetition, imitation, and canonic-like movements weave a thread of familiarity through the piano’s tapestry of subtle shifts in timbre, register, and alternation between chorale-like writing and moments of florid flourishing; the music paints the imagery of the text.The text by Leslie Grant Scott illuminates themes of the humanity, solace, and comfort we find in Nature. The forest’s foliage filters out the harshness of the world, and we are calmed by the forest’s heart. To me Nature is also a metaphor for community, or the network of loved ones you may have, over perhaps your choir; together with compassion and kindness we are able to filter the world’s harshness, together we grow, we celebrate, and we listen to the music around us.SILENCE [Leslie Grant Scott, 1912 PD] adpt. M. EmeryI have heard the music thereIn the deep forest's heart, Where filters the sun's rays, In a still, golden haze.I have heard the music there.The breathless silence speaks, Bringing Nature's soft balm And her great soothing calm To all those who will hear.I have heard the music there.

Ilse Weber (1903-1944) played these songs composed and composed by her with children in ghetto Theresienstadt on the guitar. She went to the infirmary with children of the infirmary in the Auschwitz concentration camp. Prisoners testify that she tried to console the children in the gas chamber with their lullaby Wiegala. Winfried Radeke has already presented Ilse Weber's song collection Ich wandre durch Theresienstadt in 2008 in an edition for voice and piano. It is now also making choirs available in versions for three-part women's choir and four-part mixed choir in German and English editions. In her simplicity and intimacy Ilse Weber's songs are among the most touching testimonies from Theresienstadt. They keep the memory of the Nazi-persecuted author sounding alive.

Key: B flat major. Latin.
The Mass in B flat major by Joseph Haydn is known under the name “Theresienmesse.” The reason for this epithet has to this day not been clarified, but it could have to do with a performance of this Mass in Vienna in May 1800, probably in the presence of the Empress Marie Therese. Compared with Haydn’s last two masses and the large oratorios, the relatively modest orchestral scoring of the Theresienmesse is notable (for two clarinets, two trumpets with timpani, strings and organ continuo). Thus the Mass is also easily performable in those churches where music programs have only modest means at their disposal - and at the same they can have this treasure from the late Viennese classical period. Score available separately - see item CA.4061000.

Ilse Weber (1903-1944) musizierte diese von ihr komponierten und gedichteten Lieder mit Kindern im Ghetto Theresienstadt zur Gitarre. Sie ging mit Kindern der Krankenstation im KZ Auschwitz in den Tod. Haftlinge bezeugen, dass sie die Kinder in der Gaskammer mit ihrem Schlaflied Wiegala zu trosten versuchte. Winfried Radeke hat Ilse Webers Liedersammlung Ich wandre durch Theresienstadt bereits 2008 in einer Ausgabe fur Singstimme und Klavier vorgelegt. Sie wird nun auch Choren in Versionen fur dreistimmigen Frauenchor und fur vierstimmig gemischten Chor in Ausgaben in deutscher wie in englischer Sprache zuganglich gemacht. In ihrer Schlichtheit und Innigkeit gehoren Ilse Webers Lieder zu den beruhrendsten Zeugnissen aus Theresienstadt. Sie halten das Andenken an die NS-verfolgte Autorin klingend lebendig.

Frederick Faber's inspiring and encouraging text is remarkably set by Sally Kidwell. Within the piece, there is a mellow reflection on Faber's original words, which expresses how God's love is beyond what we understand of it. The soft interweaving and rejoining of voices give the anthem a drifting charm, as the phrases are delicately pulled and reshaped.
