Author Description

Product Description SA and piano The Compass uses evocative imagery and metaphor to describe how feelings of being lost and adrift can be assuaged by journeying towards self-acceptance and positive change. A characterful four-note motif punctuates the piano part, which provides a steady rhythmic cushion for the stylisticallysyncopated and catchy melodic lines. This soul-searching piece is brought to a close by an empowering final chorus that celebrates moving forwards on a different path away from difficult times towards somewhere hopeful and new. About the Author Jenny Mahler started writing music for female voices and experimenting with harmonies from a young age. Having trained as a classical pianist, she became an accompanist for an ex-miners' choir, falling so in love with choral music that she decided to take the conductor's baton herself. Mahler has directed, performed with, and composed for choirs internationally and from across a multiplicity of genres including gospel, musical theatre, secular, and sacred music, all of which contribute towards her distinctive composing style.
