Jenny Mahler

Opis

for SSA and piano, with optional melody instrument With lyrics by the composer, Come Alive explores the scientific notion that energy never dies, but instead transforms into or transfers to something new. The text calls us to renew our connection to nature in order to reawaken our senses and reconnect with a lost loved one. This energetic piece features an appealing combination of textures, from unison melody to four-part counterpoint (with a solo/small-group line), and builds to a full, emphatic climax at the close. The optional instrumental part may be played by any suitable melody instrument in C, including glockenspiel, xylophone, flute, and violin.

O autorze

Jenny Mahler started writing music for female voices and experimenting with harmonies from a young age. Having trained as a classical pianist, she became an accompanist for an ex-miners' choir, falling so in love with choral music that she decided to take the conductor's baton herself. Mahler has directed, performed with, and composed for choirs internationally and from across a multiplicity of genres including gospel, musical theatre, secular, and sacred music, all of which contribute towards her distinctive composing style.
