Twelfth Night
"Twelfth Night - Songs for Male Chorus and Small Orchestra is a perfect blend of the Shakespearian theatre, modern musical theatre, and contemporary choral music. The rhythms are vibrant and fun, the melodies captivating, and the drama engaging. Every vocal part has a mixture of soaring melodies and "Fa-La-La" frolic. "Come Away Death" is a tragic lacrymosa of melody. "O Mistress Mine" dances a Waltz of wandering. It's all brought to a frenzy and a flurry in "The Wind and the Rain." These pieces engaged our audiences as much as they delighted our singers."
- Steven Russell, Artistic Director and Conductor of the NJGMC
A Splash Of Christmas
"Loved the piece. It worked as a whole composition-not just as a string of tunes! Both the audience and the chorus loved it! Our pianist had a ball trying to crack me up in the final cadenza by playing it in a different style every night. Beethoven on the opening and Liszt on closing! It was quite easy to learn and made a wonderful opening for the second half."
