COMPOSER'S NOTE

Kohelet ("The Teacher") is an extended choral work in five movements that I composed for the Washington Master Chorale, Santa Clara Chorale and Santa Clara University Concert Choir. Sung in Hebrew, it is scored for performance by divisi choral forces (SATB), bass-baritone and soprano soloists, and orchestra, consisting of 3 trumpets in B flat, 2 trombones, bass trombone, timpani, percussion (3 players), 2 harps, and strings.

I have also written a reduced orchestration for 2 trumpets in C, 2 horns in F, 1 bass trombone, timpani, percussion (1 player), harp, organ, and a string quartet (13 players total). The full scoring lends itself well to the reduction. By including some of the original instruments, the chamber version is conveyed with little loss of variety and color. I think some of the hidden details may even be more apparent in the chamber version.
