The Name Emmanuel for Choir

Text:
Behold
Emmanuel
Virgin shall be with child And shall bring forth a Son Child of the Holy Ghost And they shall call his name: Emmanuel God with us Jesus God with us Amen
The name Emmanuel God with us Nolite timere
(excerpts from Bible, Mt 1)
Duration: approx. 10 minutes
World premiere: Swedish Radio Choir, cond. Peter Dijkstra Stockholm, Baltic Sea Festival, 27 August 2017
Explanations:
“ə” neutral vocal
“M, N, L“ if a consonant is underlined, it should be sung instead of vocal – “M” bocca chiusa, “L ,N” neutral vocal (“ə”) while mouth is as if pronouncing “L” or “N”
“A > M<E>N” a gradual change of vocal
very delicate undertuning (1/6-tone or less). As gives the rhythm above the stave and/or the graphic notation, there should be fast undertuning and slow tuning back. The tension of tuning back may remind the practice in blues or jazz, however here it should be more gentle, working with truly slight nuances (better do not think of glissando).
Aleatory (soprano solos after measure 65): Timing of each individual aleatory pattern should be irregular, fermata should be every time of different duration (and may be sometimes ignored). The function of this half minute (luminoso) is to let the high C# explode again and again and to shine dazzlingly almost without interruption.
Dynamics:
Forte should always be kept in limits of lucid, crystal-like sound and well perceptible pitch. Clarity, no big voices.
