Magical Glass

Duration: 04' 00" Year: 2011, r. 2012
for SSAA or TTBB choir

  • Instrumentation
    also more difficult versions for SATB or ATBB available here
  • Programme Note

    This is a modern folk song about the history of glass-making in Sunderland. It is part of a collection of songs about the River Wear, “Winter Wear”. It can be performed as a Christmas song, or at other times of year. It is not especially religious.

    Glass-making has always played an important role in the cultural and industrial history and soul of Sunderland and the River Wear: Benedict Biscop’s unique use of French glass-makers to fill in the windows of his monastery church, St. Peter’s in the 9th century; the industrial melting pot of the 19th century where the abundant supply of coal from the Durham coalfield, ferried down the River Wear fuelled several industries, most notably steel-making, shipbuilding and glass making; the European monopoly of Joblings Glassworks making heatproof oven-ware out of Pyrex in the mid- 20th century; and the National Glass Centre of today in which students at the University and glass artists from around the country craft enchanting art works. The first people to see each of these phenomena must have been transfixed by the novelty they were witnessing. This song portrays the response to each of these first encounters with the magical glass.

Willow Macky  

Peace to the World

Duration: 02' 00" Year: 1985
arranged by Bruce Baker for SAB choir and organ

  • Programme Note

    The words and music of this prophetic carol were written by Willow Macky. They have since been set for carillon, piano, and SSA choir. This arrangement is planned to meet the needs of the Church choral director, who is often looking for something interesting but reasonably simple for mixed voices (bearing in mind that tenors tend to be very hard to come by nowadays) with a varied (but not difficult) three-stave organ accompaniment. Written at the request of Canadian Dominion Carilloneur, Gordon Slater, in 1986 for the United Nations’ International Year of Peace, it was performed on carillon in the U.S., Holland, Belgium, Canada, Australia and New Zealand in that year. The song has been broadcast through national radio networks in New Zealand by Diane Philson and the Auckland Balkan Folk Orchestra.
