for SATB and organ This tuneful and gentle setting of the Gaelic
blessing is a perfect option for weddings and general use. Its
shapely melody, floating soprano descant, and mellifluous closing
'Amen' make this a setting of great beauty.
for SATB and organ This inspiring and uplifting setting of a
well-known text will appeal to all SATB choirs looking for fresh
and accessible new repertoire for general church use. Alongside his
own material Chilcott includes the traditional 'Morning has broken'
melody, allowing members of the congregation to join in with the
choir.
for SATB accompanied and unaccompanied
Fred Onovwerosuoke and the St. Louis African Chorus carefully
selected the favorite, most requested songs from their workshops,
while trying to represent a wide spectrum of Africas regions and
cultural practicessongs of spirituality, religion, community, work,
and play from Nigeria, Ghana, Congo, Benin Republic, South Africa,
Namibia, Gambia, and others. The result is Songs of Africa, a
user-friendly resource that will satisfy the hunger for new,
diverse choral repertoire. As a performance aid, this exciting
collection also includes a pronunciation guide, notes on
performance practice and cultural context, and, where accompaniment
is needed or suggested, some accessible percussion charts.
for SATB choir, solo trumpet, and organ Commissioned by the
Worshipful Company of Barbers in celebration of their 700th
anniversary and first performed at the United Guilds Service in St
Paul's Cathedral in March 2008, this is an impressive and stately
setting of verses from Psalm 90, culminating in a jubilant,
maestoso final section. The work would suit any festive service or
concert. The trumpet part is available separately.
for SATB and organ or orchestra This meaningful text by David
Warner is accompanied by beautiful leaps and subsequent suspensions
in the memorable melody, which is supported by rich textures in the
organ and orchestra. Appropriate throughout the year, this piece is
especially suited for Pentecost. Orchestral material is available
on hire.
for vocal soloists or SATB choir and orchestra or reduced orchestra
Serenade to Music is sublime - one of the most stunningly beautiful
musical creations of the 20th century. This choral meditation on
the nature of music and its power to enrapture is a setting of text
from Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice. This tender and
much-loved work was composed in 1938 in honour of Sir Henry Wood.
It was written for 16 soloists and orchestra but may also be sung
by four soloists and chorus, or by mixed-voice chorus. This
beautifully presented edition includes an introduction by Michael
Kennedy. Also available for full orchestra without choir.
This gentle song is taken from the song cycle 'Songs for Seven
Storeys', which Bob Chilcott wrote to celebrate the opening of the
New Evelina Children's Hospital on London's South Bank. With a
singable, folksy tune and an atmospheric piano part, this song has
wide appeal. Orchestral material for 'Songs for Seven Storeys' is
available on hire from the OUP Hire Library, or appropriate
overseas agent.
for SATB, organ, and optional strings A gentle melody and lush
harmonic backdrop create a stunning musical setting of a text by
eminent American hymn writer, Thomas Troeger. One Gift sheds new
light on the gifts that the Magi bring to the Christ child. The
strings add an attractively profound dimension to the work. Score
and string parts on are sale (978-0-19-387034-5)
for SA and piano This attractive setting of a text by Christina
Rossetti combines a shapely melody with a gentle, rippling piano
accompaniment. Ideal for Easter concerts and services.
for SATB (with divisions) and viola obbligato Beach is taken from
the song cycle 'Songs for Seven Storeys', which Bob Chilcott wrote
to celebrate the opening of the New Evelina Children's Hospital.
Combining a nostalgic melody with a haunting viola obbligato, this
introspective song beautifully captures the memory of the seaside.
Wilberg arranged this familiar hymn for the funeral of US President
Gerald Ford. To distinguish this arrangement from the other known
settings of O God our help in ages past, Wilberg chose a much lower
key for a warmer, more comforting sound. Also, in the last verse,
the melody is passed to the tenors and altos, which allows the
outer voices to develop and further broaden the texture. Whether
performing this work with piano accompaniment or with orchestra, it
will certainly rejuvenate this traditional favorite.
for SATB, baritone solo and orchestra A newly engraved edition of
this vibrant choral work and fully compatible with the new Walton
Edition full score. There are minor adjustments to the piano
reduction to improve playability and the text underlay is now
English only, as Walton's original.
for unison children's choir, SATB choir, and piano or strings This
beautiful song combines a melodic setting of Christina Rossetti's
'A Birthday' with Robert Burns's 'A Red, Red Rose', sung to the
tune of a traditional Scottish ballad. Both themes are imbued with
a sense of happiness and contentment with the world, and the
interplay between the melodies results in a truly stirring finish.
Also available for SATB and piano or strings.
for SATB and optional organ Quem pastores laudavere is a beautiful,
short arrangement with a more traditional harmonic backdrop. The
music opens with oos, and after a pause, the SATB unaccompanied
choir enters, singing in Latin, sempre legato. Bassi writes lush
choral lines with suspension after suspension, which results in a
stunning sound with considerable depth. An English singing
translation is provided beneath the text.
for SATB and piano This anthem is a setting of the text from John
14, Christ's words to his apostles after the resurrection. It
begins with a flowing accompaniment and solo vocal lines that build
to the tutti declamation of 'Peace I leave with you, my peace I
give you'. It is appropriate for the Easter and Pentecost and is
accessible for all church choirs.
for SATB unaccompanied These short motets (Bread of Heaven and
Bread of the World) are accessible by any church choir. The text
makes them appropriate for any time during the church year, but
they could find a special place during the Lenten season.
for solo voice, SATB choir, flute, and keyboard or guitar or
chamber orchestra This heartwarming song, setting words by the
composer, has a rich, satisfying melody that befits the sentiment
of the text: music is a gift that enriches the soul and lasts a
lifetime.
for SATB with divisions, unaccompanied Choirs will enjoy singing
the lush, expanded harmonies in this short, breathtaking anthem.
The fourteenth-century text is used widely during communion, but is
also appropriate in other parts of the church's year, especially
during the season of Lent. This music would also be a fine addition
to a concert of sacred music.
