Hughes with accompaniment by pianist Lyudmila Lakisova. Dr. Hughes chose this piece of Music because of its emotionally powerful setting of a comforting and hopeful text. “This work encourages us through these difficult days and reminds us why we love choral Music,” he said. We hope the performance brings you comfort and peace.

A version for 3 part Mixed Choir (Soprano, Alto and Men) and organ is also available at: http://dwsolo.Musicaneo.com/sheetMusic/sm-185192_mass_for_three_part_Mixed_Choir_and_organ.html Because of its gently exotic modal flavours, the Music was deemed to have a ring of "oriental promise" by one appreciative member of the congregation at the first performance. This setting has been sung in Cathedrals in Manchester, Southwell and Dublin and the Agnus has also featured in services at Christ Church Didsbury. The recording here is the Agnus Dei sung by the Voluntary Choir of Manchester Cathedral during their visit to Southwell Minster.  less

We discuss the compositional process, including the philosophy she holds related to the "end product" for singers. Namely, the importance of the singers exploring their own communities and connections WHILE also exploring the Music. We also bounce ideas back and forth related to composers having to be careful about "over refining" a composition, as well as the Music world's attempt to balance goals of equity with the human need for each composer to be valued based on their OWN Music and individual expression.

The objective was to bring about Musical performances (of choral works by foreign and Nigerian composers) of sufficiently high standard for international consumption, within the limitations of national resources. The CHORALE which has grown in size to over 100 singers has given numerous concerts in Lagos and other towns in Nigeria, including Aba, Abakaliki, Abeokuta, Abuja, Benin, Calabar, Eket, Enugu, Ibadan, Ife, Nsit Atai, Oko, Owerri, Port Harcourt, Umuahia and Uyo. It has performed many times on Radio and Television and has featured on many State, National and International functions. It was the nucleus of the Nigerian National Choir for FESTAC 77. In November 2003, the group featured at the opening ceremonies of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in Abuja, and the recent Nigerian centen...    less
