Music educationMartin Ashley
Singing in the Lower Secondary SchoolThis is an essential text on an important area of the music curriculum consistently judged weak or inadequate by UK school inspectors. It covers social, physiological, musical, and pedagogical aspects of young adolescent singing, with focus on Key Stage 3 and the progression from primary school. Grounded in extensive research and authoritatively written, it uses case studies to illustrate best practice, and introduces the
principles of cambiata, a dedicated approach to the adolescent voice. Other chapters contain practical and proven advice on repertoire, technique, and the motivation of reluctant singers, boosting the confidence of teachers for whom choral work is not the main specialism.

Choral worksBob Chilcott
The Miracle of the Springfor SATB and percussion (two players)
This powerfully evocative and uplifting work celebrates the pursuit, and eventual discovery, of water. Brimming with freshness and vitality, The Miracle of the Spring embraces an array of moods and styles that skilfully capture the essence of Charles Bennett’s text, from the relentless rhythmic motifs depicting the parched landscape to the flowing aleatoric fragments suggesting the gushing of the spring. The simple percussion parts
for glockenspiel, mark tree, and log drums add texture and drive to the a cappella voices and may be performed by two choir members or separate percussionists. Imbued with rich harmonies, infectious rhythms, and unforgettable melodies, this piece would be the perfect addition to any concert programme.

Wenceslasfor mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists, SATB chorus, and piano or orchestra
The story of Good King Wenceslas on the Feast of Stephen is presented here as a vivid musical narrative, with solo parts for the characters of Wenceslas (baritone) and Page (mezzo-soprano). Chilcott sets new words by Charles Bennett to a colourful array of styles to recount their snow-bound story. The choir sets the scene before Wenceslas and Page meet in ‘Who can that be?’, and the story-telling continues in several
contrasting movements, including a touching solo ballad from Page entitled ‘Thank you’ and the strong yet reflective closing movement, ‘On St Stephen’s Night’. The full five verses of the well-known carol are skilfully interwoven throughout the work in different parts, with the final verse being sung by the audience or a semi-chorus, and the movements are punctuated by an instrumental interlude and triumphant fanfare.

The uplifting melody is passed from the upper voices to the lower voices before the piece opens out into an expansive texture with rich harmonies. Quartel introduces a playful episode of scat
singing before a resolute final chorus brings this evocative piece to a peaceful and serene close.

The four unaccompanied voice parts are used to great effect, with phrases often beginning in a strong unison before opening out into rich and colourful harmonies. Helvey highlights the words through the use of homophonic textures and changing time signatures to follow the natural stresses of the text.

A stunning atmosphere is instantly created in this short piece by an almost ethereal organ part, featuring flourishes on flute stops, later supported by a drone-like pedal line.

These words are traditionally used on Trinity Sunday, but their general message is suitable for use throughout the year, making Owens’s setting a useful and practical addition to any church choir’s repertory.

Mack Wilberg
Christ the Lord is risen todayfor SATB and organ or large orchestra
This arrangement of the well-loved hymn stays true to the jubilation and reverence of Easter. Wesley’s words and the eighteenth-century melody shine through in a sensitive reharmonization, and a recurring instrumental passage smoothly connects the verses. Reflecting common hymn-singing practice, the first verse is in unison, the second in four-part harmony, and the third returns to unison with a soprano descant, before closing with a suitably exultant ‘Alleluia’ and ‘Amen’.
Christ the Lord is risen today appears on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square’s latest CD, He is Risen, which reached No. 1 in both the ‘Classical Albums’ and ‘Traditional Classical Albums’ US charts within two weeks of its release in April 2014.
