How many singers are singing or studying this score? Our business relies on the purchase of one original score per voicing and a licensed copy for each singer—as well as the purchase of additional licenses in the future when more copies are made. (For example: For a 30-voice choir, you would buy a license to make 30 copies.) You may also discover from Dalglish recordings that we encourage creative and fresh performance ideas. Go for it!

Song No. 16 from Hymnody of Earth (1999)
Up until How Long Watchman, Hymnody of Earth has, in Wendell Berry’s words, been in praise of “earthly forms….a grace living here as we live.” How Long Watchman paints a stark depiction of the destructive forces in the human psyche. The piece borrows from two South Carolina hymns based on the Book of Revelations in the New Testament. The original words and imagery have been replaced or updated in an attempt to describe the fear and chaos of a nuclear detonation.
