Carol Of The Drum - SATB

Composed for the Eucharist of Christmas Night 2004 at the Cathedral Church of Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary Rochester in the year of the 1400th anniversary of the cathedral's foundation.Missa Carolae wascommissioned for Rochester Cathedral and first performed there on 24 December 2004 by the Rochester Cathedral Choirs directed by Roger Sayer.Missa Carolæ was written for the 1400th anniversary of Rochester Cathedral thesecond oldest cathedral in England. Performances there begin with a ceremonial procession that follows the movement of a boy chorister accompanied by pipe and drum from the High Altar to a large crib placed in the Nave gathering the choirs (singing from different parts of the cathedral) and principal clergy in the course of the procession. The work though not literally for dancing is intended to invoke a dance-like spirit which is true to theorigin of the carol as a simple dance form. The choir parts should be very well known so that the singers can sing with the whole of their bodies and not just their voices. It is suitable for liturgical or concert use.

For Contralto solo Chorus and Orchestra. Looking outside the purely Western Europe tradition for inspiration and freshness Karl Jenkins sets the 13th-century Stabat Mater text in Latin and English and has extended it to a universal depiction of grief with six other texts some of them from ancient sources in a variety of languages. The scoring is for voices and modern symphony orchestra augmented by indigenous instruments such as the Darabuca (Hand Drum) and Riq (Small Tambourine) and the Mey (Woodwind). The work has been recorded by EMI Classics performed by the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra andChoir the EMO Choir of Helsinki with soloists Jurgita Adamonyte and Belinda Sykes conducted by the composer. By turns dramatic and reflective the twelve-movement work incorporates the original 13th-century Latin sequence alongside additional texts such as Ave verum corpus (originally composed for Bryn Terfel) Lament by Carol Barratt and English texts derived from ancient Babylonian and medieval Persian sources.

This richly expressive cantata sets five discrete texts each reflecting a different aspect of Christmastide for female sololist children's choir SATB and Piano.The first movement is set to a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson which anticipates Christ's birth; the instantly memorable eager melody captures perfectly the sense of expectation conveyed in the text. It is followed by Good day Sir Christemas a joyous rollicking song for children's choir; the wondrous This endris night; and the contemplative wistful carol Put memory away set to a contemporary poem by Elizabeth Jennings. The last movement is a funky rocking celebration of theNativity set to a 17th-century text by William Drummond of Hawthornden. Very approachable and a huge joy to sing this is an absolute must for Christmas concerts.
