For SSSAA unaccompanied. The opening of this motet displays Massaino's skill in the art of word-painting with soaring lines that play on the word 'arise' (Surge). Punctuated with occasional homophonic writing, the beautiful melodic lines find clever use of imitation across all voices.

Alchemy is usually defined as the Medieval search for the means of transmuting base metals, such as lead into gold and silver. The alchemist hoped to find the mysterious combination of words or elements to attain the goal. Our scene begins with a dramatic invocation to the spirits of the metals, followed by a chant to empower the energy necessary for the change. A procession of the alchemist's apprentices is heard as they add their presence to the effort and a final surge as the transformation is realized. Or is it?

After decades as a renowned oboe virtuoso, Katherine Needleman was improvising at the piano during the quarantine summer of 2020 when her ideas congealed in a powerful way. Within a week she completed a 16-minute oboe sonata inspired by the world’s overlapping crises. This riveting three-movement sonata bears the title qua resurget ex favilla, drawn from the Dies Irae text referring to rising back from ashes. Needleman won the International Double Reed Society’s Inaugural Commissioning Competition by entering her own recording of this work, performing as both oboist and pianist from her living room. As a result, IDRS commissioned her to compose a new work for English horn and piano which was premiered at their 2021 Virtual Symposium and programmed for the live 2022 convention.I’m not exactly sure how, in a life consumed by music, I never put anything on paper between the time I stopped at age 10 and the age of 42. I mean, I have some ideas why, but that could easily dissolve into a feminist manifesto or a condemnation of my musical education and the overwhelming culture of American oboe playing, the vehicle through which I’ve made a living my entire adult life. Rather than go there, I will just say this is the first piece I put on paper in my adult life.Six months into COVID-19 lockdown in the US, the world was feeling pretty weird. I had familiarized myself with the music notation program, Sibelius, for recent arranging projects. I had written some mockeries of A.M.R. Barret oboe etudes in response to an assignment I was given (and did appropriately first). When I descended into a dark chorale in the middle of the fourth mockery, I realized I needed a new vehicle. I wrote a short, ridiculous piece for my husband’s birthday, and then, the next night, when improvising at the piano, like I’ve done since I was seven years old, this piece came to me. However, this time, I sketched it out into Sibelius. Over the course of the next week, I found notating and picking permanent, official notes to enter into the computer challenging. But it was all done on paper in seven days, and I took another few for dynamics and articulations thinking they might be useful for someone else, if I would ever be lucky enough for someone else to play it.I don’t have much to say about the music of qua resurget ex favilla itself. It’s a personal statement couched in the feelings of that time. The US presidential election was looming large and ugly in my mind, well, that and the end of life as we knew it, but I also had some bizarre feeling that everything would be okay.

In a world where food is rationed based on wealth and status, people experiencing poverty have formed a task force to gain equality. Insurgence, by Rossano Galante, begins with a driving, rhythmic ostinato in the winds, low brass, and percussion. Soaring, aggressive horn lines take the lead in this post-apocalyptic setting. This theme is passed to the trumpets, then the winds, heralding their presence in this work. The piece transitions to a slightly lyrical section, capturing the pain and struggle these humans must endure during these challenging times. The piece recapitulates the main theme with the full ensemble, bringing this composition to a thunderous conclusion. (3:30).

Like telling a story, David Cherwien has crafted a five-movement partita that highlights the text of each stanza of this well-loved hymn by Susan Palo Cherwien with the original tune SURGE ECCLESIA by Timothy J. Strand. The second movement tells of wafting incense, and the aria of the fourth movement cleverly includes the hymn melody in retrograde, highlighting the text Rise, remember well the future. The final movement is a joyful and festive toccata. The five movements can be played in sequence or as standalone pieces during worship.

In the 1980s and 1990s there was a new surge of interest in the old swing of the 30s and 40s. The epicentre of this swing revival lay in the American state of California, Los Angeles and San Francisco in particular. Based on therules of the old swing in which each beat has a ternary subdivision but with more contemporary sounds and harmonies, Peter Kleine Schaars composed this work San Fransisco Swing. Through the frequent use of the rhythmiccells 22, 23 and 24 in all parts of this composition, each band, irrespective of its experience with swing music, will be able to give a swinging performance! In de jaren tachtig en negentig van de vorige eeuw ontstond er een nieuwe golf van belangstelling voor de oude swing van de jaren dertig en veertig. Het epicentrum van deze swingrevival lag in de Amerikaanse staat Californië, metname in Los Angeles en San Francisco. Gebaseerd op de wetten van de oude swing waarin elke beat een ternaire onderverdeling heeft maar met meer hedendaagse klanken en harmonieën, componeerde Peter Kleine Schaars deze SanFransisco Swing. Door middel van het veelvuldig gebruik van de ritmische cellen 22, 23 en 24 in alle stemmen van deze compositie zal elk orkest, ongeacht de ervaring met swingmuziek, in staat zijn een swingende performanceneer te zetten!

Peter Kleine Schaars komponierte das Stück San Fransisco Swing nach den Regeln des alten Swings, bei dem jeder Schlag eine ternäre Unterteilung hat, allerdings mit modernen Klängen und Harmonien.Durch die häufige Verwendung der Rhythmus-Einheiten 22 und 24 in allen Stimmen der Komposition kann jedes Orchester unabhängig von seiner Erfahrung mit Swingmusik eine swingende“ Aufführung präsentieren!Les années 1980-90 ont connu un regain d’intérêt pour le swing des années 1930-40.

The serenade flourished in Mozart's era, but with Brahms the genre experienced a new surge in popularity in the 19th century. Dvorák's cheerful and relaxed op. 22 came into being in 1875, during a very happy time for him both professionally and privately. Heput his personal stamp on the five-movement composition by incorporating stylized Slavonic dances. The spirited finale captivates by restating themes from the previous movements. Since its premiere in 1876 the work, with its melodic richness and particular harmonic modulations, has enjoyed great acclaim from audiences and critics alike. Today it is among Dvorák's most popular and most frequently performed compositions. As well as the autograph and printed editions, the composer's copy of the printed score with autograph corrections and additions has been consulted for Henle's Urtext edition.

At long last, GIA proudly releases Michael Joncas’s first collection in over eight years. Containing themes of divine providence, rescue, and sustenance, this recording comes from the heart of Joncas’s own suffering due to a bout with Guillain-Barré syndrome. After his recovery, Joncas experienced a new surge of musical creativity that gave birth to In the Sight of the Angels. The lush sounds of choral singing and the elaborate instrumentation of brass, harp, flute, organ, and other instruments makes In the Sight of the Angels a beautiful recording replete with psalm settings, including “Drink in the Richness of God,†“In the Sight of the Angels,†and “Till the End of My Days.†Also present are settings of the three New Testament Lukan infancy canticles—the “Canticle of Zechariah,†the “Canticle of Mary,†and the “Canticle of Simeon.†But, perhaps most appropriate in light of Joncas’s recent experiences are the songs delineating the work of the Holy Spirit, God’s breath (ruach): “All Who Are Led by the Spirit,†“Lord, Send Out Your Spirit,†and “Veni, Sancte Spiritus.†This tranquil recording has a pastoral feel. It is tender and depicts a merciful God who gives us hope in light of suffering. Joncas’s newfound wisdom resonates through this music. It is his sincere wish that those who sing it, play it, and/or hear it will grow closer to God.

In this work, two feelings alternately surge up in waves. One is an urge to move towards a ray of light found during wandering in the sea, the other is a feeling of anxiety of not knowing what is waiting for me over the light. Can I get to an envisioned place after continous movement of the mind? Asking such a question to notes, I wrote this work. Masanori Aoyama.
