David Hamilton  

Four Carols

Duration: 08' 00" Year: 1991
for a cappella SATB choir

• Programme Note

  While overseas in 1989 I came upon the book by Erik Routley A Panorama of Christian Hymnody – a sourcebook of hymns and other sacred texts. These four carols draw their texts from that book: the first two by Christina Rossetti (1830-1894), the third by Eustace Condor (1820-1892), and the fourth by James Lowell (1819-1891). The fact that the poets are contemporaries is quite coincidental – these are texts which appealed and which appear to form a satisfactory cycle (although individual pieces may be performed separately).

  Love Came Down at Christmas is a popular and widely set Christmas text, and originally appeared in Time Flies: A Reading Diary, while The Shepherds had an Angel comes from Rossetti’s Poetical Works. Both texts were originally intended as hymns for children. The Childhood of Christ was also a children’s hymn and is drawn from the Congregational Church Hymnal of 1867, whereas the Epiphany Carol appeared in the 1865 publication Songs of the Sanctuary.

  Over a number of years I have written short Christmas pieces for groups directed by John Rosser – the Summer Singers, Quintessence, the Star Quartet and his fine chamber choir Viva Voce. These four pieces are dedicated to John and Kathryn Rosser as an appreciation for their interest in my music and willingness to perform (and record) it.

Hoquetus Sanctus

Duration: 04' 20" Year: 2008
for vocal octet

• Instrumentation
  SSAATTBB with clapping and/or hand percussion (stones or wooden clap-sticks)
• Programme Note

  This work was written as a commission for Baroque Voices, with funding from Creative NZ, to be premiered at the Baroque Voices “Alleluia: a newe work!” concert in May 2008. The concept of the performance is to juxtapose Contemporary New Zealand works with Medieval European ones – and in this case, Hoquetus Sanctus pairs well with Hoquetus David (written by Guillaume de Machaut in the 14th Century), as it explores the idea of hocket, where vocal lines are ‘shared’ between different voices, sometimes jumping from one to another and overlapping each other – however, it can equally well be performed in any choral concert.

  Hoquetus Sanctus is a setting of the Latin Sanctus text for a capella chamber choir or small vocal ensemble.
