The Westminster Service for mixed choir and organ

Artikel-Nr.: EP73799 (H)

score (en) "It was a particular pleasure and honour to be invited to write a new service for the choir of Westminster Abbey alongside whom I have sung on a number of occasions, including a service to commemorate the Abolition of Slavery and of course the Coronation of King Charles III.
My initial response to this commission was to explore how Mary, most likely a teenage girl, would have been overwhelmed to experience a visitation from an archangel, not to mention hearing the news that she would soon give birth and then that her child would change the course of history. This scenario created in my mind an almost operatic treatment, based on awe, wonder and quite some degree of fear.

score (en) "It was a particular pleasure and honour to be invited to write a new service for the choir of Westminster Abbey alongside whom I have sung on a number of occasions, including a service to commemorate the Abolition of Slavery and of course the Coronation of King Charles III.
My initial response to this commission was to explore how Mary, most likely a teenage girl, would have been overwhelmed to experience a visitation from an archangel, not to mention hearing the news that she would soon give birth and then that her child would change the course of history. This scenario created in my mind an almost operatic treatment, based on awe, wonder and quite some degree of fear.
However, re-reading Luke 1, I realised that Mary had some time to process this extraordinary visitation as she ran to Elizabeths home and by the time she had reached there, a different mood had taken over her, giving her the impetus to break out into the remarkable, bold words that form the Magnificat. I was struck by the sense of joy, the sheer thrill of her realising she had a new a wonderful purpose and that joy is made even more ecstatic by her youth and her humble origins. It seemed natural for this joy to continue into the words spoken by the ageing Simeon, who finds the release he has been craving, finally rewarding his patience.

A further influence on my writing was the Sacred Concerts of Duke Ellington, the third of which was premiered at Westminster Abbey in 1973. Although I dont have a particular background in jazz, I did compose entire jazz choral evensong and choral matins services which were broadcast in 2006 and 2007 respectively. My desire was to write music in a jazz style that might be suitable for everyday use, to bring the sense of joy and excitement into Anglican worship that Duke Ellingtons concerts suggested to me.
However, those services were written for choir and jazz piano trio and proved too complicated to incorporate into a general church setting. I hope that the Westminster Service will prove easier to manage, even though it may still test the mettle of many a choir. I also hope that the joy of singing the music will make the effort required feel worthwhile."
