Here are the latest publications from Hildegard publishing.

494-02890 Inbound - Sophie Coran ($19.95)
for String Quartet
Part of Hildegard's Voices of Tomorrow series, this work for string quartet was written when the composer was a high school student. The piece, in four continuous sections, describes moving through and past a difficult situation in life. First performed by the Young Artists Orchestra of Boston University's Tanglewood Institute, the work has been performed several times since by ensembles in Philadelphia and New York.
392-01204 Two Carols - Elinor A. Armsby ($2.25)
for SATB Chorus
Inspired by the text that Benjamin Britten set in his Ceremony of Carols, these two carols provide a contrast in mood. "I Sing of a Maiden" is contemplative and serene where "Tidings True" is dance-like and bouyant. The carols may be performed together as set or separately and make a great addition to any Christmas choral program.
494-02865 Three Argentinian Pieces - Adriana Isabel Figueroa Mañas ($19.95)
for Violin & Cello
A sparkling duet for violin and cello inspired by the music and landscape of Argentina. The final movement of the work is in the popular tango style so closely associated with Argentina.
490-01160 Romp - Lorin Alexander ($29.95)
for Two Pianos, Four Hands
A mesmerizing and compelling work, Romp has the effect of luring the listener in with the playfulness implied in its title only to take us on a brief intense and driving excursion. Melodic echoes of Milhaud and Copland play against Alexander’s subtle and surprising rhythms.
490-01159 Awakening - Meira Warshauer ($19.95)
for solo piano
This powerful work for solo piano was written at the height of the US-Soviet arms race. The piece moves from agitation, to peaceful spaciousness and finally to a celebration of the "trimuph of good."
392-01202 Psalm of Thanksgiving - Karen E. Christianson ($1.95)
for SA Chorus & Piano
The first in our series, Voices of Tomorrow, this choral work was written by a talented fourth grader. A great choice for the schools and churches with a thanksgiving theme!
494-02860 Three Viola Transcriptions - Various ($21.95)
for Viola and Piano
This publication includes three interesting selections originally written for cello transcribed here for viola by the prolific string editor, Susan Pickett. All three works date from the late 1800s or very early 1900s and share a romantic style.
