NDV, whose concerts range in style and period from The medieval to The contemporary, takes special pleasure in exploring The music of living composers and has given many Irish premières –including James Macmillan’s Cantos Sagrados and Penderecki’s Stabat Mater – as well as eight world premières of works by Irish composers including Linda Buckley, Enda Bates, Jonathan Nangle, Garrett Sholdice, and Ian Wilson.

The words (taking The last verse) are
...on The twelfth day of Christmas The choir processed in song
and twelve candles dripped
eleven altos flipped
and ten lines were clipped
and nine gins were sipped
and eight crept to The crypt
and seven hymn books slipped
and six basses quipped
and five sang in tune!
and four cassocks ripped
and three lost Their script
and two tenors tripped
and The soloist got it all wrong. lessan>

(“Do not ask me to leave you, or to stop following you; for where ever you go, I will go, and where you stay, I will stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God.”) The soprano joins The choir for The twice-repeated middle section of The piece. The music here is contrastingly homophonic and intense. (“Where you die, I will die and be buried.”) The tune and harmonies are borrowed from a passage in my piece Selections from “The song of songs” for male voice and band. That piece is dedicated to my wife, Ruth, hence The connection. If that were not enough, our daughter is named Naomi! The song of Ruth closes with a recapitulation of The music from The opening, but with new words assigned to it, and with The soprano soloist providing a descant for it. (“May The Lord cause ill fate to befall me, and more, if anything but death separates me and you.”) Appropriat... lessan>
