music composed and performed by David W Solomons [aka the dwsChorale].
This particular setting was composed with a small mixed-ability choir
in mind, so the voices are mainly in two parts (men's and women's voices),
splitting to four parts (SATB) occasionally, where the words suggest it.
The musical style is reminiscent of the 19th century although the piano
part does go into 20th century style syncopation at times.

David Rain: "Let's sing, it's Spring!", #4 (Spring) Ottawa Four Seasons Suite (sung by Matthew Curti
"Let's sing, it's Spring!" is dedicated to my uncle and aunt, James and Daphne Shaw, and their amazing clan, the "Bowen Island Shaws."

I have given this song the sub-title: "A Crazy Choral Etude for Rolled Rs and Perfect 5ths." It is meant, no pun intended, to be a musical lark, great fun for a choir to sing, rolling Rs like crazy, with no holding back.
NB: One day I woke up to the realization that I had independently written four choral works, each of which had evoked a different season, and so it seemed natural to group them together into a choral suite that I have called "The Ottawa Four Seasons Suite."
"Let's sing, it's Spring!", with its rousing coda section, works perfectly as the closing number of this suite.
Also of note, in early 2018, I applied to be a participant at one of the Vancouver Chamber Choir's Interplay workshops funded by the SOCAN Foundation and to my delight I was accepted.
"Let's sing, it's Spring!" was one of the pieces that this amazing choir sight read for me on the sp... less

of the old 16th Century French tune which was used in G R Woodward's carol
"Ding Dong Merrily on High"; it is great fun to sing.
It is quite different from the more well-known arrangement and would make a nice change in a carol concert.
The vocal parts here are all performed by Matthew Curtis

The Lord is my shepherd I shall lack nothing
he makes me lie down in green pastures
he leads me along the still waters.
he restores my soul and makes me walk
within the paths of righteousness
for His name's sake
Yea, though I walk in death's dark vale yet I will fear no evil
for you are with me your rod and your staff comfort me still
you have furnished my table in the presence of my foes
my head you anoint with oil and my cup overflows
Goodness and mercy all my life shall surely follow me
and my dwelling place shall be in God's house evermore. less

Background. In the 1970s I visited Poland twice and fell in love with Polish choral music -- and Lulajże Jezuniu became one of my favourite Christmas carols in any language.
While flying from Ottawa to Vancouver in December 2017, I felt inspired and arranged most of this piece while at 30,000 feet! I must have been quite a sight conducting away in my aisle seat, with my head phones plugged into my computer.
I have dedicated Lulajże Jezuniu to the late Adam and helena Kmiotek, who showed me such generosity of spirit as my hosts in Szczecin during my second Polish trip.
