Lord, with Glowing Heart I'D Praise Thee - Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Sheet music, Vocal score): Howard HELVEY Lord, with Glowing Heart I'D Praise Thee - Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Howard HELVEY
R136 Discovery Miles 1 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB and organ This is a flexible hymn for general worship, with an original hymn tune ('Charleston') by Howard Helvey. Either Francis Scott Key's 'Lord, with glowing heart I'd praise thee' or Charles Wesley's 'Love divine, all loves excelling' may be sung, and Helvey employs hymnody's most popular traits, including a majestic organ introduction, an emphatic unison first verse, and a soaring soprano descant.

Blow, blow, thou winter wind (Sheet music, Vocal score): Sarah Quartel Blow, blow, thou winter wind (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Sarah Quartel
R119 Discovery Miles 1 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SSA and piano This atmospheric setting of familiar words from Shakespeare's As You Like It is sprightly and uplifting, with singers being asked by the composer to perform with 'a bit of frost and a knowing smile'. Blow, blow, thou winter wind was originally published in the collection Hark, hark, the lark.

Exile Meditations (Sheet music, Vocal score): Gabriel Jackson Exile Meditations (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Gabriel Jackson
R535 Discovery Miles 5 350 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB soloists or choir unaccompanied This powerful work is a sequence of meditations on loss and longing, of fear and of hope, by turns contemplative and dramatic. The narrative is made up of a selection of poems by four exiled Latvian writers from the group known as the Hell's Kitchen Poets and present-day displaced persons from Palestine and Syria. The text is in Latvian and English, and a pronunciation guide for the Latvian text is included in the vocal score. Jackson also employs percussion for dramatic effect, with three singers required to play brake drum, railway man's whistle, and claves. With all of the trademarks of Jackson's compelling musical style, this piece will be an exciting challenge for choirs looking to explore universal themes.

Evening Hymn (Sheet music, SAB vocal score): Bob Chilcott Evening Hymn (Sheet music, SAB vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R119 Discovery Miles 1 190 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SAB and piano Chilcott has re-scored this serene, reflective anthem, originally for upper voices, for SAB, making it accessible to choirs with a limited number of male voices. A rich addition to the Choral Evensong repertory, the anthem presents an artful juxtaposition of an original setting of William Fuller's 'Evening Hymn', most famously set by Henry Purcell, with the plainsong melody for the Latin hymn 'Te lucis ante terminum', in J. M. Neale's English translation.

Images of Peace (Sheet music, Vocal score): Alan Bullard Images of Peace (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Alan Bullard
R217 Discovery Miles 2 170 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB unaccompanied Images of Peace resulted from a request for a work that would encourage peace and understanding while not focussing on any particular creed or belief, and Alan Bullard approached this concept by choosing texts from a range of sources, including the English metaphysical and pastoral traditions, and the Taoist, Jewish, and Christian traditions. The set of five songs are designed as a symphonic whole, with the first and last ('Sweet Peace' and 'Bread of Peace') partly sharing the same material, book-ending three contrasting movements, a lively scherzo ('Rainbow of Peace'), an expressive slow movement ('Peace in the world'), and an elegant allegretto ('Doves of Peace').

The Parting Glass (Sheet music, TTBB vocal score): Sarah Quartel The Parting Glass (Sheet music, TTBB vocal score)
Sarah Quartel
R136 Discovery Miles 1 360 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for TTBB unaccompanied The Parting Glass is a traditional Scottish song, often sung as a farewell at the end of a get-together. Sarah Quartel's arrangement features close harmonies, idiomatic Scotch snap rhythms, and effective interjectory moments in what is a largely homophonic setting. With its valedictory message, it would make a fitting end to a performance, perhaps as an encore item.

R174 Discovery Miles 1 740 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB unaccompanied This is a warm and contemplative setting of the medieval Latin hymn, suitable for communion services or for Lent, Passiontide, or Corpus Christi. Built around harmonic sequences and an appealing opening phrase, and with a gently romantic feel, Parry's setting offers a charming alternative to more familiar settings of these words.

Magnificat - Full Score (Sheet music, Full score): Francesco Durante Magnificat - Full Score (Sheet music, Full score)
Francesco Durante; Edited by John Rutter
R805 Discovery Miles 8 050 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB and chamber ensemble A splendid curtain-raiser to Vivaldi's Gloria, Francesco Durante's artful Magnificat has long been misattributed to his pupil Pergolesi in a version for four voices, not five. Durante's vocally richer five-voice version has been chosen for the Sacred Choruses volume, which this orchestration accompanies, and merits performance as an alternative to the familiar four-voice version, which may or may not have been Durante's own work.

Known for his orchestral, operatic and choral works, James MacMillan (b. 1959) appeals across the spectrum of contemporary music making. James MacMillan appeals across the spectrum of contemporary music making and is particularly celebrated for his orchestral, operatic and choral pieces. This book, published in time to mark the composer's sixtieth birthday, is thefirst in-depth look at his life, work and aesthetic. From his beginnings in rural Ayrshire and his early work with Sir Peter Maxwell Davies, through the international breakthrough success of The Confession of Isobel Gowdie,the continuing success of works such as the percussion concerto Veni, Veni, Emmaneul and his choral pieces, to his current position as one of the most prominent British composers of his generation, the book explores MacMillan's compositional influences over time. It looks closely at his most significant works and sets them in a wider context defined by contemporary composition, culture and the arts in general. The book also considers MacMillan's strong Catholic faith and how this has influenced his work, along with his politics and his on-going relationship with Scottish nationalism. With the support of the composer and his publisher and unprecedented access to interviews and previously unpublished materials, the book not only provides an appraisal of MacMillan's work but also insights into what it means to be a prominent composer and artist in the twenty-first century. PHILLIP A. COOKE is a Composer and Senior Lecturer and Head of Music at the University of Aberdeen. He has previously co-edited The Music of Herbert Howells for Boydell.

Bob Chilcott
R159 Discovery Miles 1 590 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB and piano This celebration of friendship is rich in expressive melodies and poignant harmonies, underpinned by sensitive piano writing. The text, by Delphine Chalmers, is inspired by French Renaissance essayist Michel de Montaigne's writings on friendship, from which the well known quotation 'If I am pressed to say why I loved him, I feel it can only be explained by replying: 'Because it was he; because it was me.'' originates. Eminently accessible, this piece is perfect for concert programmes celebrating friendship and community.

The Future of Fire (Sheet music, Vocal Score): Zhou Long The Future of Fire (Sheet music, Vocal Score)
Zhou Long
R163 Discovery Miles 1 630 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB or upper voices, and orchestra or wind band The Future of Fire is a brief but powerful work. The vibrant scoring creates a feeling of explosive energy from beginning to end with intense bursts from a battery of percussion. The melodic material is taken from a popular and touching love song from Shannxi province in north-western China, which is coupled with rhythmic motives in both the orchestra/wind band and chorus. Folk melodies from this region use intervals of a minor seventh these angular leaps are suited to the dynamic spirit of this work. The chorus sings a vocalise based on repeated syllables that are found in Chinese folk songs, as well as many folk songs from around the world.

We are: Bob Chilcott We are
Bob Chilcott
R216 Discovery Miles 2 160 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATTBB & SA or SATB unaccompanied We are is a dynamic and vibrant setting of 'The human family', a powerful poem by American poet Maya Angelou. The poet's message that 'we are more alike than we are unalike' is carried through the piece by a compelling rhythmic figure, and the a cappella textures and interplay between voices creates an infectious energy. The rich texture of the double choir scoring allows the two groups of singers to work together to create the sense of unity and common purpose the poem speaks to. We are was commissioned by The King's Singers for their 50th anniversary celebrations and features on their album 'GOLD' (Signum, SIGCD500). The piece was originally presented with the first choir scoring as AATBarBarB, but has since been rescored for SATTBB, with the option for the second choir to be SA or SATB remaining unchanged.
