CME in High Voice. Composed by Hendrik Hofmeyr. In High Voice. Classical, Contemporary. Octavo. 23 pages. Boosey & Hawkes #M051474028. Published by Boosey & Hawkes (HL.48005073).UPC: 073999050738. 7.0x10.5x0.058 inches.
For double SSAA chorus, a cappella. The main body of this work consists of an extended invocation in the style of a polychoral motet, based on an anonymous Latin text, and ending with a plea for peace. This is preceded by a briefer introductory section, based on passages from the Old Testament, in which the horrors of violence and oppression are described. This section features the use of several extra-musical effects (whispering, hissing, finger- and tongue-clicks, foot-stamping and indeterminate clusters), most of which form part of the South African choral tradition. (10:00).
