Grammy-nominated for Best Engineered Classical Album, Tuvayhun has a moving text by Charles Anthony Silvestri. This innovative 80-minute major work is based on the Beatitudes, with a message of inclusion, trust, kindness, compassion, humanity, and mutual respect. With a mix of Aramaic and English text, this moving work incorporates ancient and contemporary styles and ideals. The modern hybrid style includes theatrical elements and influences of classical, jazz, and world music. Scored for either treble or mixed choirs with baritone, alto, and child soprano soloists, the work is accompanied by strings, flutes, hammered dulcimer (cimbalom), harp, and a variety of other percussion and world instruments to create its unique sound and presentation. Commissioned by the Manhattan Girls Chorus and artistic director Michelle Oesterle in 2018, this work is socially responsive and shines a light on modern issues affecting our world such as poverty, the refugee crisis, discrimination, and persecution. 18 movements including new choral favorites such as Song for Justice; What Is Peace and I Hope. Instrumental parts are available on rental from the publisher.

Tuvayhun

SATB Choral Score

From Arnesen's major work Tuvayhun, this stand-alone movement features an a cappella choral underscoring for prayers and hopes offered for the world in a variety of languages. Culminating with the text "We sing our hope for the world," this beautiful work utilizes lush choral harmonies and offers the option to accompany with string orchestra. May also be performed by strings and narration only.

I Hope

SATB Octavo  opt. String accompaniment

"We sing out the truth against hunger and hate. We sing out for justice before it's too late!" A socially responsive text from Charles Anthony Silvestri is given a dramatic setting for mixed or treble choirs with piano or optional strings and percussion. Taken from Arnesen's major work Tuvayhun, where this movement follows the words "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" from the Beatitudes. This is a declamatory statement against poverty, discrimination, and persecution.

Song for Justice

SATB Octavo

Editors Choice Year

"Peace, like war, must be waged - mindfully, deliberately, with arms ever ready and eyes wide open." Striking modern harmonies declare the importance of Charles Anthony Silvestri's profound text on the nature of peace, dramatically set for mixed or treble choirs with the option to perform a cappella or with piano or harp accompaniment. Taken from Arnesen's major work Tuvayhun, where this movement follows the words "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God" from the Beatitudes.

What Is Peace?

SATB Octavo opt. a Cappella

This beautiful work is dedicated to the memory of a young girl named Lily who departed from the earth much too soon. Excerpted from Arnesen's major work Tuvayhun, this seventh movement follows the words "Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted" from the Beatitudes. Set for a soprano soloist and chorus with organ or string accompaniment. The poignant text and call-and-response texture between the soloist and choir is emotionally moving and expresses, "Leaving you behind only makes our bonding stronger, vaster, longer, every day, in every way."
