The 16th century Finnish carol Personent Hodie (On This Day Earth Shall Ring) has never sounded so thrilling. A new text of peace and hope, along with brilliant harmonic colors and rhythmic motifs that seize your soul, this extended work (6-7 minutes) is fantastic! The choral is published with a piano accompaniment that can carry the piece alone, however, three dynamic orchestrations from brass quintet, chamber orchestra to full orchestra are also available.

This is an SATB a cappella setting of this perennially favorite religious text (John 14: 15-17, King James Version). Commissioned by The Elders (independent global leaders working together for peace and human rights) as a parting gift to Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Although the presentation took place in 2013 the work did not receive its first performance until 2018, by Royal Birmingham Conservatoire Chamber Choir, conducted by Paul Spicer. Composed in predominantly homophonic style, and harmonically chromatic yet without extreme dissonance, this offering from a leading composer will be seized upon by choirs of intermediate standard and above.
