Timothy Dudley-Smith<br />
A Functional Art<br />
Reflections of a Hymn Writer<br />
One of the finest and most influential hymnwriters<br />
of our age, Timothy Dudley-Smith<br />
has published around 400 hymn texts. In this<br />
fascinating book, the author explores not only<br />
the writing of hymns but many other aspects<br />
including the study and singing of them. It is not<br />
a history, a text book, or an academic treatise,<br />
but the personal reflections of an experienced<br />
practitioner who has been speaking and writing<br />
on this subject, on both sides of the Atlantic, for more than fifty years.<br />
His armchair reflections draw freely on the writings of others, and in a<br />
discursive, almost conversational, style.<br />

Visions<br />
for solo violin, upper-voice choir, with harp, and strings or organ<br />
Visions is a four-movement showpiece for solo<br />
violin in unique combination with upper-voice<br />
choir, harp, and strings (or organ). Inspired by<br />
the idea of ‘Jerusalem’ both as a Holy City and a<br />
utopian ideal of heavenly peace and seraphic bliss,<br />
the composer has selected four biblical texts, in<br />
English and Latin, that express different aspects of<br />
this vision. The profound subject matter is taken<br />
up in the celestial soundworld of the choir and<br />
the virtuosic, vibrant, and expressive writing for violin, all set against a<br />
backdrop of rich textures and harmonies in the strings and harp. The<br />
accompaniment is available in two different instrumentations: harp and<br />
string ensemble or harp and organ. The solo violin and harp parts are<br />
identical in both versions.<br />
Conductor’s scores and string parts are available on hire/rental.<br />

Snow Angel<br />
for SATB or SSAA, solo cello, djembe, and piano<br />
David Bednall<br />
In manus tuas<br />
Snow Angel is an evocative five-movement choral work that explores<br />
themes of love, rebirth, and beauty through the eyes of children and<br />
the heavenly army of angels that watch over them, yearning to make a<br />
difference to their lives. The work may be performed with narration, in<br />
which three angels present their perspectives on their earthly charges.<br />
Quartel weaves a haunting and poignant cello line throughout the<br />
work, and a vibrant part for djembe in movement four, ‘Sweet child’,<br />
carries the listener from the ethereal and mystical realm the work<br />
predominantly inhabits into an emphatic anthem with a distinctly<br />
African feel. The <strong>music</strong>al language is emotive and pictorial, allowing<br />
performers to play an active role in the storytelling.<br />

God will give orders/Sweet child<br />
for SATB or SSA, solo cello, djembe, and piano<br />
This evocative anthem, from the larger work Snow<br />
Angel, is a piece of two halves. Opening with a<br />
haunting cello line, the first section (‘God will give<br />
orders’) is mystical and ethereal, until a vibrant<br />
figure from the djembe lifts the <strong>music</strong> into the<br />
second section (‘Sweet child’), which is uplifting<br />
and bold in character, with a distinctly African feel<br />
and an effective a cappella ending.<br />
The instrumental parts are included in the vocal score.<br />
