richard kidd After the Sleet Storm CME In High Voice This work for treble voices, cello and classical guitar begins with an ostinato repetition of the title, before the entrance of the melodic theme superimposed in counterpoint with the cello melody.

The Armed Man A Mass for Peace This is a powerful and compelling account of the descent into war and its terrible consequences. Dedicated to the victims of the Kosovo conflict, this work is a contemporary example of a mass based on the 15th-century French song “L’homme armé.” Set within the framework of the Latin mass, The Armed Man is a major choral work which uses both sacred and secular texts. 48012252 Complete Vocal Score ����������������$22.95
Requiem Complete Vocal Score Jenkins’ Requiem sets the traditional Latin text of the Requiem mass (including the extra movements Pie Jesu and In paradisum) along with haiku “death” poems (sung in Japanese).
