Dan Locklair’s Angel Song will be given its World Premiere on Sunday, December 21 at 5:00 PM by the Choir, Chorale and Choristers of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, 520 Summit Street in Winston Salem, North Carolina. This will be part of a Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols.
Angel Song (A Christmas Anthem for SATB Chorus and Organ) was the result of a 2014 commission from John and P.J. Williams in honor of the music program of St. Paul’s Episcopal and its director, Organist/Choirmaster, Dr. John Cummins. This approximately five-minute anthem is a setting of a December 1863 Christmas hymn text by Moncure Daniel Conway (1832-1907) entitled, Now Let the Angel Song Break Forth!
The composer writes, “In Angel Song I have sought to musically capture the vibrancy, pain and timeless reflections found in Rev. Conway’s expressive words.”
Other composers on the December 21 program include William Walton, Josquin des Pres, Charles Snider, Paul Edward, Colin Mawbry and Joel Martinson. For more information, call 336-723-4391 or visit http://www.stpauls-ws.org/.
Dan Locklair's music is widely performed throughout the U.S. and around the world. His catalog includes symphonic works, a ballet, an opera, chamber, instrumental, vocal and choral compositions. Locklair's commissioned compositions have been performed by musicians worldwide, including the Helsinki Philharmonic, the Buffalo Philharmonic, the Kansas City Symphony, the St. Louis Orchestra, the Saint Thomas Choir of Men and Boys of New York City and the Saint Paul’s Cathedral Choir of London. Broadcasts of it have included Vatican Radio, Czech Radio, Radio Finland, NPR, the BBC and the CBC. His latest CD is the critically acclaimed Tapestries, Choral Music of Dan Locklair on MSR Classics (MS 1463). Recordings of his works are also available on Naxos, Ondine, Koch, Albany, Loft, Priory (UK) and other labels. His primary publishers are Ricordi and Subito.
