I have placed some new scores and Midi files onto the 'Choral' page of my web site. These three pieces for SATB choir with piano are intended to be performed as a set. The poems together contain the faint outline of a story - a Chinese monk prepares for the visit of a brother from Japan, and in the third poem, the Japanese monk sails home in his little boat.
The texts are in the original Mandarin - much thanks to Jerry Huang of the Chinese Chorus of Cambridge for his detailed help and critiques of the text setting. Thanks also to Heather Chu, director of the chorus, for suggesting that I might write something for them.
