'December Air' was written for the CoMA 'Choral Partsongs' project, and the publication is available from CoMA: http://www.coma.org/our-music/publications/
CoMA's choral partsongs (ISMN 979-0-9002363-2-6), builds on the success of the first volume of partsongs, with twelve pieces suitable for larger ensembles, so suitable for chamber choirs, choral societies and large enthusiastic community groups. The conventional SATB voice parts do not apply. The works range from fully notated scores to those with graphic elements. Some are precisely structured and others are open to interpretation and enjoyable ambiguity.
The composers are Paul Burnell, Alexander Campkin, Jürg Frey, Hollie Harding, Joel Järventausta, Hannah Kendall, Catherine Lamb, Janet Oates, Yshani Perinpanayagam, Shirley Thompson, Andrew Toovey and James Weeks.
