Like a delicate Christmas ornament slowly turning on its thread, this arrangement is evocative of all that is nostalgic about the season. -
A mini-fantasy combining two well-known carols. The lovely British carol tune ‘Forest Green’ contrasts beautifully with the angular ‘God rest ye’ in this arrangement. -
An artsy and delightful arrangement of the familiar carol, full of character and great brass sonorities. -
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. -
Commissioned by Claude Watson School for the Arts (Grades 4-8) in Ontario in honour of Canada’s Sesquicentennial birthday as a nation, July 1, 2017. This work began with a poetry contest with the children of Claude Watson. The poems, limericks, Haiku and free-verse were vetted by the staff and then submitted to Len for gleaning and fashioning into a song to be sung as a finale for their annual Reflections Concert. -
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. -
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. -
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.
