Commissioned to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the Vashon Island Chorale (Vashon Island, Washington state), Vashon Suite: No Bridges features eleven songs for SATB choir about the history, geography and romance of Vashon Island (across Puget Sound from Seattle). The seventh song in the suite, Seashore describes the forty-five miles of shore around the island -- the seashore teems with abundant life from the many species of sea-birds to surfacing whales and blubbery seals. The piece features a flute obligato, and an optional conga drum, as well as a piano accompaniment. Seashore has the flavor of summer. Other pieces in the suite include Strawberry Kisses, (a tandem bicycle and picnic song of summer) and Leonosa, a rollicking sea-shanty depicting a brig carrying lumber from Vashon Island to San Francisco during the Gold Rush.

SATB Octavo

<p>"Risen" is an Easter Sunday anthem, beginning in a contemplative mood, gathering energy and ending with joyful Hallelujahs. All four SATB melodic parts weave together to form dissonance and harmony, so parts of the anthem can be challenging.  Each line of the opening section may be sung with just enough rubato to push and pull the tempo a bit. My 30-voice choir enjoyed the challenge of the dissonance and reveled in the joyful ending. I have posted individual rehearsal MP3 files on my website at <a href="http://www.sirensong-music.com">www.sirensong-music.com</a> as a learning tool.  There is also a performance video including the lyrics.</p>

Risen (Easter Song)

This song was composed for a faith community supporting efforts to help end local and global hunger.  The lyrics "We are the Lord's hands, feet, voice; we are the Body of Christ" become our actions as we work together to help neighbors in need.

For the Love of Others (We are the Lord's Hands)

Step into the Call (with Consider the Lilies of the Field) is a song about the call of faith, composed for SATB choir, flute and piano.

The anthem is appropriate for a special occasion or as a general church choir anthem. Lyrics and rehearsal parts are available at www.sirensong-music.com.

Seattle's unique Christmas Ship festival has been an annual holiday tradition since 1949.  Each year, the Christmas Ship is decked out with lights, passengers and music, and cruises Seattle's waterways accompanied by a flotilla of small boats, also decorated with lights. On board the big ship, different choirs perform holiday favorites each night, the music amplified out over the water to delight listeners aboard the small boats cruising in close proximity, and the crowds gathered on the shore. Seattle composer Bronwyn Edwards shares her own experience, weaving the sounds and imagery of the boats with the familiar melodies of carols.Christmas Boats is available in SATB and SSAA settings, and has been performed by the South Seattle College Community choir, for whom it was originally composed, as well as the Fauntleroy Chancel Choir, and Holy Names Girls Choir.

The Snow Queen is part of a song cycle about the season of winter, with lyrics by AnnMarie Clayton and music by Bronwyn Edwards.  Short in duration (just under 1 minute 30 seconds), "The Snow Queen" has the potential for some humor. The Snow Queen (portrayed in 3-part harmony by the Sopranos and Altos) is bored. She sighs lot, musically. Attempts to make her laugh by Jack Frost, the queen's jester (portrayed by the Tenors and Basses), may become more successful throughout the piece, depending on the additional giggles and laughter which add to the fun.

The Snow Queen

This arrangement features a mash-up of the carol "We Three
  Kings" with the Arab Dance from Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker Suite for SATB
  choir and piano. The rhythm of the camels combined with the magic of
  Tchaikovsky's intricate chromatic harmonies adds mystery and magic to the
  journey of the Magi to visit the infant Jesus.

Two flutes add a descant, suggesting the refrain from the Christmas melody of "Angels We Have Heard on High" at the very conclusion of the piece. "The Promise" is the third piece in the Wonder Cantata, celebrating the wonder of the Christmas season and composed by Bronwyn Edwards.

"Rain" comes from the 2010 musical Age Only Matters If You're Cheese, and takes a light-hearted look at Seattle's inclement weather. In Seattle, please remember, the rainy season lasts from October to September. Seattle-ites don't tan, they rust. Mud we have but never dust!
