New Music
New Music is a series of specially commissioned pieces for choir or organ written by some of the most talented young composers around. Throughout 2010 Choir & Organ is running this series in partnership with the Choir of St John’s College, Cambridge.
In every issue of Choir & Organ magazine, you’ll find a profile of the composer providing an insight into the new work. Here on the New Music web page you’ll find the score in PDF format ready to download to your printer.
Scores are licensed for six months’ free use – you can print as many copies as you want – before the copyright reverts to the composer. After that date copies must be ordered from the composer.
New Music brings cutting-edge yet approachable scores direct to your desktop. We hope that you’ll be inspired to perform them as widely as possible. Why not download the latest score now?
All the premieres of New Music 2010 will be given by the choir or the organ scholars at St John’s and will be included in the College’s webcasting programme: http://www.sjcchoir.co.uk/default.php?page=webcast
St John’s College, which celebrates its quincentenary in 2011, has had a chapel choir since the 1670s and daily services have been sung ever since. Today the choir has an international reputation for musical excellence; a rich portfolio of recordings, regular tours in north America, and a weekly webcasting programme mean that its voice is heard worldwide. Regular commissioning ensures a continuing freshness in repertoire alongside the classics of the English cathedral tradition. http://www.sjcchoir.co.uk
