[PDF Sample]

Japanese Sweet was written for the New London Children's Choir, conductor Ronald Corp, and first performed at LSO St Luke's, London on 9 November 2006. The young performers are divided into two groups, one of which sings the short Japanese poem to traditional pitched notes, while the second group plays hand-held triangles and drums, and sings or whispers isolated syllables, or performs them glissandi. The poem, a terse and evocative description of Mount Fuji, is repeated twice, and on each repetition the accompaniment changes to reflect different aspects of the text. Japanese Sweet is a challenging and rewarding study in contemporary vocal techniques, which encourages children to explore sounds and the relation of music and image in fresh and imaginative contexts.

Unison and keyboard
[PDF Sample]

Written by a celebrated arranger and composer of popular classic Holy Moses, this lively and inspiring cantata is a pageant of Christmas past and present - including 'An Elizabethan Christmas Present', 'Mysterious Handel', 'Mozart's Mince Pies', 'A Victorian Cockney's Lament' and 'Christmas Rapping'. Stuffed full of memorable tunes, it ends with a rumbustuous 'Christmas Dinner'. Christmas Through the Ages, lasting approximately 20 minutes, was composed for Tring School, and its simple yet colourful accompaniment can be imaginatively adapted to a wide variety of electronic or acoustic resources. There are many possibilities for cross-curriculum work, with the chance to perform in period costume that will prove hard to resist!
