Two points of note: First, The composition grew out of The feeling that all 4 Voices should start on The same note, grow outwards and Then come back to that same note at The end. The rest just seemed to evolve on its own, seemingly guided by some external force. Second, unusually, I have asked choirs (where possible) to sing this without any breaks, via staggered breathing, as I wanted to highlight The deep conviction underlying The words of The Psalm, as one single thread of deep belief that moves from beginning to end. Sincere thanks to MatThew Curtis (choraltracks.com) for recording "Psalm 23." As always, comments are welcomed. Email me at rain@magma.ca, if you'd like more info.

The joins are barely noticeable! The Hubbard Saga was written specially for Sale Festival 2001 and follows The antique antics of The fabulous dog of Old MoTher Hubbard. The children's chorus echoes The barking of The dog whilst The adult choir takes us through The story. Then The children -- one by one tell us The story behind The poem itself. The forces are: Children's choir (in 2 parts) Adult choir (SATB) Flute Clarinet String quartet Chorus part http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/8121318?aff_id=175705 Full score http://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/8121304?aff_id=175705 parts also available for rental at http://www.classicalmusicnow.com/rentalcat.htm  less
