Timeless lyric and melody deserve to be cherished and remembered in the modern age. This setting was written by way of homage to Albert Orsborn’s classic verses and melody which are seldom encountered in the present.
This setting of the much-loved text adapted from Ps. 103 has been described as eloquent, beautiful and moving. Lots of unison writing makes for bold musical lines and shapes.
A bright gospel-flavoured song with enjoyable rhythms and colourful harmonies. The song is through-composed with a recurring chorus which binds the whole together.
Definitely theatrical, almost Broadway in feel, requiring the vocalist to change character at a moment’s notice. An unusual approach, but offers high impact if the occasion warrants.
The biblical theme of ‘light’ is explored in this energetic gospel anthem. Once the word rhythms of the text are conquered it all falls into place beautifully.
Very 'Gospel' in style and text. The song moves forward making use of repetition and sequence to extend the form, so its basic shape is easy to grasp for the singers.
In this arrangement of the lovely Christmas-themed Sweet Little Jesus Boy, the music has been set in a slow swing style that is both moody and evocative.
Sing Noel! is a unique Christmas medley featuring a high-energy original carol right off the top which wraps itself around two other traditional carols.
The story of the shepherds encountering the angelic hosts on the hillsides of Bethlehem. Imagine the silence of the night being shattered by a 6-part vocal jazz ensemble!
A sensitive and effective treatment of this lovely old gospel favourite. Lots of unison and easy two-part writing in the verses make this setting accessible for most choirs.
An effective setting which never oversteps its role in bringing simple truths alive. Lots of unison and straight forward part writing for an easy teach with effective results.
A slightly beefed up final cadence makes this perfect for open-air venues or sports events where the last moments of ‘the anthem’ are often lost or drowned by an exuberant crowd of spectators.
