This announcement features the choral music of two of our newest and most exciting composers: Charles Hammell =============== Charles Hammell creates music relevant to our times and of great beauty. Very much at home in the post-modern era of classical music, Charles draws upon a wide range of influences. A graduate of The University of the Arts in Philadelphia, he has forged a fresh, new musical language assimilating the influences of American church music, world music, rock, American minimalism, and even Renaissance music. Eric T. Houghton ================ Eric T. Houghton has received awards for his large-scale musical documentary “Pioneer Songs.” The work, detailing the first wagon trains to California, was premiered in 1993. He was awarded the Meet the Composer prize for this work, and was subsequently elected to ASCAP. Houghton’s “Victory Songs” premiered in 1995 to much acclaim. The work, composed to honor our World War II veterans, commemorated the 50th anniversary of the end of World War II. Recently Mr. Houghton completed his third historical song cycle, “Passion Songs”, depicting the passion and death of Jesus Christ. ================================================================================ When the "Ship to me" price is listed as $1.80, this is a 'per octavo' price and you should order as many as you need for you choir. For all choral pieces, the "Print it now" version provides you with a print license for your choir, so you may photocopy as many parts as are required for your own group's needs at no extra cost.
