Kudos to all the great singers!
I'm currently working on two
commissions for the 2010-2011 season, with a third in play soon.
The first is for the Hong Kong International School Choral Festival and
the second is for SATB/brass/organ/perc/handbells-- the opening fest6ive
piece for the Holiday Dinner at Northern Arizona University. The third
commission, on hold until we have a text, will be for the Cincinnati
Children's Choir.

NEW RELEASES Three new pieces will be coming out
from Roger Dean in early 2010:
Winter
Solstice (SSA/harp or piano) with gorgeous solstice texts by
New Mexico poets; (would make an excellent pairing with Britten's Ceremony of
Carols, Rutter's Dancing Day, or Susa's Songs and Carols of the Southwest)
The Star, a very fun setting of the anonymous astronomical
parody text of Twinkle, twinkle little star) for SA/piano
Ding
Dong Merrily on High (SATB/piano or harp), very upbeat, in
7/8 most of the time.
