Cecilia Virgo: New Horizons

Compozitor Gabriel Jackson
en Limba Engleză Sheet music – 22 apr 2004
for 6S 6A 6T 6B unaccompaniedThis expansive piece requiring 24 singers sets an anonymous 16th-century text of supplication to St Cecilia. From the cascading imitation of its opening to the monolithic triads of its close, it remains spellbinding and invokes a powerful sense of the divine. Inspired by the great motets of the Eton Choir Book, this is seriously beautiful music with particular appeal for committed choirs.

Recenzii

Ever increasing in popularity, Gabriel Jackson's distinctive and memorable style prevails throughout these three very different pieces . . . Well worthwhile for those choirs with the forces available to tackle a piece of these dimensions . . . These three anthems are all refreshingly original as well as being accessible to singer and listener alike.
. . .the resultant peel of bells that cascades from one voice to another is a distinctive and inspired effect, introduced by Jackson to start the piece and brought surging back at its exulatnat climax. For a choir that can muster a few basses with bottom Ds and sopranos with top Bs, the eight-minute Cecilia Virgo would be an excellent addition to the repertoire: tonal yet innovative; engaging yet unpredictable.
Cecilia Virgo would set accomplished choirs a challenge, though a rewarding and far from insuperable one.

Notă biografică

One of Britain's foremost composers, after three years as a chorister at Canterbury Cathedral, Gabriel Jackson went on to study composition with Richard Blackford and John Lambert at the Royal College of Music. Particularly acclaimed for his choral works, his liturgical pieces are in the repertoires of most of Britain's cathedral and collegiate choirs and he is a frequent collaborator with the leading professional groups of the world. From 2010-2013 he was Associate Composer to the BBC Singers. In 2014 his hour-long The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ, commissioned for the 750th anniversary of Merton College, Oxford, was premiered in its chapel. May 2015 saw the premiere at the Latvian National Opera of Spring Rounds for soprano, choir and orchestra, commissioned by the Riga-based youth choir Kamer for their 25th anniversary. He was recently commissioned by The Marian Consort to write Stabat Mater to mark their 10th anniversary.
