Tästä nuottijulkaisusta olemme erityisen innoissamme, sillä se on ensimmäinen kansainvälinen teos katalogissamme. Hyvä yleisö, saammeko esitellä upean kanadalaisen säveltäjän Brad Barnhamin ja hänen tunnelmallisen, vastikään vuoden 2024 Ruth Watson Henderson Competition -kilpailun voittaneen teoksensa Moonset!
Katso oheinen video, niin pääset tutustumaan sekä Bradiin että heinäkuussa 2024 Kiuruvedellä Suomen- ja marraskuussa 2024 Kanadan-kantaesityksensä saavaan kappaleeseen, josta olennaisen kertoo Bradin lausahdus: "Jos voit kuulla ja kokea rauhan ja seesteisyyden tunteen läpi tämän kappaleen, olen onnistunut."

DESCRIPTION OF THE WORK
“Moonset” is a choral work for treble voices and piano, and uses the poetry of Canadian author and poet E. Pauline Johnson. The poetry speaks of the wonders of the night - that sacred and soft time when the elements of the natural world stir up feelings of peace, serenity, wonder and awe - an experience we can all relate to. Having been living in Niagara since the fall, I have been surrounded by the rich Niagara landscape: the escarpment, the beachfronts, waterfalls, vineyards, rolling fields, rugged cliffs, and more. I find I am most at peace and most inspired when I am steeped in these environments - when the sounds and sights of the city are distant, if present at all, and my relationship to artistry and creativity is able to broaden and deepen in that stillness. I believe that Johnson had the same connection to the natural world in relation to her poetry, which can be felt in the text at hand. If you hear and feel a sense of peace and serenity throughout this piece, I’ve done my job. I do hope you enjoy singing, playing, conducting or listening to “Moonset”.
