Will Todd's Jazz Missa Brevis gives new life to the sung Latin Mass texts in an accessible, short setting which embraces a variety of jazz styles, from the swinging jazz waltz Kyrie to the up-beat Latin-groove Gloria. The smooth jazz ballad Sanctus, 7/8 Benedictus and soulful Agnus Dei complete this inspiring Mass setting. Underpinned by Todd's characteristic jazz harmonies and melodic craftsmanship, it is suitable for performance both liturgically and as part of a concert by mixed choirs of all abilities.
The work can be accompanied by piano alone (as written or extemporised), jazz trio (piano, bass and drums) or jazz ensemble (alto saxophone, 2 trumpets and jazz trio).

The renowned Bengali poet, Tagore, was the first non-European to win the Nobel Prize in literature in 1913. His elegant verse suits the lyrical quality of the music. There is a prominent violin obligato that soars over the rich harmonic language. And, as always, the Brunner piano accompaniment is supportive and expressive but never in the way. The violin part is included in the choral score.

As with many traditional songs, Gai Bintang is a children's play-song. Playing together, young boys and girls sing as they imagine reaching high into the sky to touch the stars and moon.

A fantastic piece that utilizes not only sung notes but also sounds and effects, this a cappella pieces captures your attention from the start and never lets go. An old Japanese children's folk melody, the exact meaning of the words are still under debate, though that is the mystery of children's folk songs. This piece has been selected for the Ron Kean Multicultural Series. Excellent for high school, college and community choirs. Medium to Difficult.

A beautiful, beloved Japanese song, it tells of a man who goes to the ocean to reflect upon his life. In each wave he sees opportunity. Though the retreat of each wave may reflect his failures, a new wave of hope soon appears. It carries him, it lifts him, and sends him toward his destiny. Sing the song in the original Japanese, or in the English version provided by Randy Stenson
