We always love a good composer interview, and this one's extra exciting for us. Thanks to New Music Box for their work getting to know Juliana Hall, and especially for the video they created!
We're wrapping up our summer conference season, and wanted to share this list of favorite new choral pieces for school from our TCDA reading session.
"Vum Vive Vum" is the central movement of Angel of Light, a cantata based on Shaker themes. A dancing and playful rhythmic ride, it is ideal as a light-hearted opening or closing piece. The text dates from 1844 and is a lively example of a Shaker dance song. The vocal sounds represent a uniquely American form of "mouth music"—a style of traditional singing where nonsense words are used to mimic the sounds of instruments or the rhythms of a dance. Part of the Dale Warland Choral Series. Duration: 2:00
Categories: Matthew EmeryComposer Matthew Emery's piece Lead Us Home, which has only been published for a few months, has already had a significant number of performances and toured Europe and Canada. This is thanks to the National Youth Orchestra of Canada, who, at the end of each of their concerts while on tour, stand and perform the choral work. To date, the piece has had 18 performances in four countries—quite an accomplishment! Emery was kind enough to give us a glimpse at the compositional process for his piece, read on for his take.

Apr 02 2019E. C. Schirmer Classical
Categories: E. C. Schirmer ClassicalYou might have noticed that recently we did a soft launch of a new area of our company, E. C. Schirmer Classical. So much of what we do caters towards church and school markets, it was definitely time to create an area especially for works for the concert hall. Here you'll find a concert calendar, featured composers, and a quick way to find exactly the works you're looking for. The genres we're catering to here are orchestra, opera and vocal music, and chamber music, which includes instrumental solos.
