Three American Songs (Sheet music, Vocal score): Michael Higgins Three American Songs (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Michael Higgins
R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB (with divisions) and piano Higgins's arrangements of three North-American traditional songs are sophisticated and beautiful, supported by well-crafted piano accompaniments. The first, 'Bright morning stars', is illuminated by a shimmering piano part with opportunities for a soloist or small group. Energy and bounce is abundant throughout the second, 'Little wheel a-turnin'', where the melody is passed around the voices and coloured with interesting harmonies. The last piece, 'He's gone away', is a parting song between two lovers with flowing melodies and accompaniment, and ends on a note of anticipation.

Gabriel'S Message (Sheet music, Vocal score): Benedict Sheehan Gabriel'S Message (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Benedict Sheehan
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or piano This Easter carol is based on J. M. Neale's translation of the Latin Piae Cantiones and occupies a captivatingly exotic soundworld. Sheehan's setting is in strophic form, with a texture that builds from verse to verse and with varying harmonizations, culminating in a dramatic cadence.

Brightest Star (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL Brightest Star (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSATB unaccompanied Written to commemorate the centenary of the foundation of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, Brightest Star sets a powerful text by Sean Street. The poem describes the call for assistance made by the occupied Channel Islands in 1944 and the response of the Red Cross ship, the Vega, which came to their aid, drawing parallels between this story and the light and hope of the seasons of Christmas and Epiphany. The bleak wartime conditions are portrayed by dissonant harmony and downward sliding phrases, and extracts from the Bailiff of Jersey's letter of appeal, sung by the lower voices, draw attention to the gravity of the situation. In contrast, the upper voices bring an ethereal quality to the texture, with closing phrases that are suggestive of the traditional French carol Les anges dans nos campagnes ('Angels, from the realms of glory').

St Martin's Mass (Sheet music, Vocal score): David Bednall St Martin's Mass (Sheet music, Vocal score)
David Bednall
R158 Discovery Miles 1 580 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ, with optional congregation This congregational mass setting is short and accessible, with a congregational part that may be intuitively learnt. The organ plays a supportive role throughout, while the choral parts are of melodic and harmonic interest, but always keeping the discernibility of the text at the fore. The congregational part, which may be photocopied, is available at the back of the vocal score.

R130 Discovery Miles 1 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ This Easter anthem sets an evocative text by J. M. C. Crum. Stately, expressive vocal lines are underpinned by a lively organ part, with crisp staccato melismas that pop out of the texture.

This little light of mine (Sheet music, Vocal score): Mack Wilberg This little light of mine (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Mack Wilberg
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or orchestra This radiant anthem is an arrangement of William F. Smith's hymn tune 'Lattimer', frequently paired with the popular gospel song 'This little light of mine'. Wilberg gives each section of the choir a presentation of the melody, beginning with the sopranos, before building towards a climactic finish with new harmony and texture as light spreads 'across the land'.

Ev'ry time I feel the Spirit (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Ev'ry time I feel the Spirit (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB (with divisions) and piano Brimming with groove and energy, this is a terrific arrangement of the popular spiritual. Chilcott's syncopated melodies and jazzy harmonies are well supported by the piano accompaniment, which features a walking bass. Perfect for adding a bit of spark to any concert programme. Originally published in Spirituals for Choirs.

Sarah Quartel
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB unaccompanied or with optional handbells (or percussion, or organ) Sarah Quartel brings a fresh take on a familiar fifteenth-century text in this enchanting carol. The dialogue between Mary and the infant Jesus is woven to a beguiling folk-like melody, in 6/8 metre, through each of the voice parts, with each verse ending in the lilting refrain 'Lully, by by, lullay'. The carol may be sung unaccompanied, though for added sparkle there is an optional part for handbells (or percussion or organ). Also available in a version for upper voices.

Bob Chilcott
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB unaccompanied with optional congregation William Blake's poem, 'A Cradle Song', is brought to life in this elegant setting by Chilcott. The gentle, recurring melody is passed from sopranos to altos, supported by 'oo's and 'ah's in the lower voices. In the last section, the congregation (or semi-chorus) joins in with 'Away in a manger', which is skilfully weaved into the vocal texture as a countermelody. This is truly a carol for everyone.
