Description:
Hope is Easter music for mixed choir, alto saxophone, piano, bass and percussion by the Danish composer John Høybye, who enjoys high recognition as a (choral) conductor, arranger and composer far beyond Scandinavia.
With a medium level of difficulty, the work is suitable for a good amateur choir. The mixture of beautiful classical choral sound and rhythmic intensity in jazz-inspired phrases is "typically Høybye". Generally in four voices (SATB), the choral writing is divided in individual, particularly expressive passages up to six or eight voices. In addition, there are some good-sounding four-part passages for the male voices only (TTBB without female voices) as a challenge for the male voices. The short solo of a male voice can be scored from the choir if necessary.
The instrumental quartet is given ample opportunity to improvise. Each of the eight movements has its own character. Nevertheless, the work is a coherent whole, based on an excellent text by Edward Broadbridge. The movements are linked by the theme of "hope" as well as by cross-movement relationships of motifs and themes. Something that makes rehearsals easier and more audience-friendly!
