LATEST MUSIC & HIDDEN GEMS

A rotating highlight of new work and less discovered pieces by Shawn.

PEACE Collection

A collaborative project offering a “peace of mind” response to the pandemic. The SSA collection includes 12 a cappella arrangements, which were recorded by British soprano Harriet Fraser.

I’ve Just Come From the Fountain

A fresh take on the traditional spiritual. The soloist introduces the back story of “the woman at the well” and returns to lead into a sparkling, meaningful coda.

Inscapes – Full Collection

A four-movement suite for double choir on the poetry of Gerard Manley Hopkins. The 20-minute showpiece is for advanced choirs of deeply expressive themes, rich harmonic language and intricately layered choral textures.

The Mystic Trumpeter

A festival piece for advanced choir and a talented organist, with text by Walt Whitman. The first stanza is an invocation by which Whitman invites the trumpeter to play a song of renewal, prophecy and joy.
