AUGUST 2010

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.

FEB 2010

A new decade (unless you're of the ilk that says 2011 is the start of the decade)...
new commissions...

Commissioned by the Briar Cliff Singers & Chamber choir, directed by Dr. Sean Burton, Voices of Earth will premiere February 14, 2010.







 


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.
