Circlesong (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Circlesong (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R530 Discovery Miles 5 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for upper voices, SATB, and piano, or 2 pianos and percussion (4 players) A work filled with ambition, Circlesong is a musical portrayal of the human life cycle as captured in the indigenous poetry of North America. Based on poetry from the Chinook, Comanche, Dakota, Eskimo, Iroquois, Kwakiutl, Navajo, Ojibwa, Pueblo, Seminole, Sioux, and Yaqui traditions, the thirteen movements, in seven parts, mark the different stages of life, from birth and childhood to adulthood, middle age and death. With energetic percussion accompaniment, climactic moments for tutti choir, tender unaccompanied passages and solo song, Circlesong is a work of impressive drama, variety, and depth. The current vocal score provides the single piano version, for performance but also for rehearsal generally. A separate part for upper voices is available on sale, and the instrumental parts for the two pianos/percussion version are available on hire.

R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Whitbourn employs textural contrasts and call-and-response style pairings of voices to great effect, and the soloistic organ writing allows plenty of opportunity for organists to explore the full range of their instrument.

Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo (Sheet music, SSA vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo (Sheet music, SSA vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R508 Discovery Miles 5 080 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSAA, solo violin, and piano Everyday Wonders: The Girl from Aleppo, here re-scored for upper voices, tells the extraordinary story of Nujeen Mustafa, a Kurdish teenager with cerebral palsy forced by war to flee her home and embark on an arduous journey to Europe with her sister. In this five-movement cantata Nujeen's story - recounted in her biography 'The Girl from Aleppo' (co-authored by Christina Lamb) - is retold by Kevin Crossley-Holland and richly scored by Cecilia McDowall. A wealth of musical effects are employed to capture the narrative, including chorales, rhythmic spoken sections, body percussion, and a solo violin part infused with Middle Eastern flavours. The prevailing mood of Nujeen's story is embodied by the final line of a chorale that bookends this unique concert work: 'singing the song of life itself.'

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.

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').

David Bednall

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

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'.
