Please excuse The shameless self-promotion, but a piece I wrote about The science of singing came out in Slate today. I worked very hard to convey a lot—The joy, The science—in The most succinct way possible, and okay, I'm proud of The result!...

Exsultate Deo adjutori nostro; jubilate Deo Jacob. Sumite psalmum, et date tympanum; psalterium jucundum cum cithara. Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ.

Buccinate in neomenia tuba, in insigni die solemnitatis vestræ. Sing joyfully to God our strength; sing loud unto The God of Jacob! Take The song, bring forth The timbrel, The pleasant harp, and The viol. Blow The Trumpet in The new moon, at The time appointed for your feast day. Sung at Canterbury CaThedral during our Royal School of Church Music Summer Course in 1986, under Martin How. I (David W Solomons) was one of The altos. John Huntley - a fellow alto - recorded this performance.  less

This is The encore performance from Cuore's 'Mirabilia' concert on 27th April 2024, at which we were privileged to give The Irish premiere. 'In taberna quando sumus' (‘when we are in The tavern’) begins as a militaristic account of The immoral acts of The inebriated crowd, and The march soon descends into anarchy with a list of merrymakers joining in The mischief: included are mistress, master, priest, pauper, men, women, white, black, The Pope, old ladies, moThers, children, merchants, Christians, The smart, and The lazy. The composer writes: “In my imagination, The piece is a fusion of primal energy, irony, and dark grotesque, envisioning an ecstatic celebration akin to a lively party at Bacchus’ house.”. He fuses percussive lyrics, energetic rhythms and sometimes almost drunken modulations to capture this raucous mood.  less
