In the collection Living Voices, Stainer & Bell are delighted to present ten inspirational pieces for choirs, all of which speak about an aspect of modern life. The idea for the collection came from composer Russell Hepplewhite, who invited ten outstanding British poets to create poetic responses to our world today. Their diverse reflections cover birth and death, youth and age, sickness and health, and landscape and memory. While some are light-hearted and comic, others are profound and moving. Accessible and rich in expression, Hepplewhite’s music proves a perfect partner, translating their message into a vibrant collective choral sound, uplifted by his abundant experience of writing for the theatre. Living Voices will engage anyone drawn to the telling interaction of contemporary life and art.
An alumnus of Chetham’s School of Music and the Royal College of Music, Russell Hepplewhite is a composer whose writing for voices is the focus of a distinguished corpus of works for the stage, concert hall, churches and schools. His award-winning operas and musicals for young people have been performed with great success in France, Germany, Hungary and Switzerland, as well as in the United Kingdom, with commissions from companies including English Touring Opera, Oldenburg State Theatre, and the Opéra Orchestre national Montpellier Occitanie. His choral music has been commissioned by leading choirs, and includes I know the stars in Stainer & Bell’s Choral Now series, and The History Express, ten songs for primary schools and youth choirs, exploring key-stage 2 and 3 history topics from the internet to the Big Bang.
