Sans Day Carol (Sheet music, Vocal score): Pete Churchill Sans Day Carol (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Pete Churchill
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB unaccompanied Pete Churchill's thrilling arrangement of this traditional Cornish carol has a gentle South African feel and features 'scat' singing and chromatic shifts in harmony. The traditional melody in 6/8 time is set against a jazz-waltz rhythm, giving a contemporary twist to this Christmas classic.

The world has waited long (Sheet music, Vocal score): Alan Bullard The world has waited long (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Alan Bullard
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or piano This simple and attractive carol sets a little-known text by the Rev. Canon John Gray (1866-1934). With an accompaniment for either organ and piano and optional soprano solos, this piece is accessible to a wide range of choirs and would be an excellent addition to either a Christmas concert or service.

Angels, from the realms of glory (Sheet music, Vocal score): Will Todd Angels, from the realms of glory (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Will Todd
R130 Discovery Miles 1 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ A radiant original setting of familiar words, this carol displays Todd's characteristically emotive harmonic language, rich in poignant suspensions. The arching melodies for verse and refrain will soon become as instinctive as the traditional carol tune, and the running quavers in the supportive organ part provide a strong foundation upon which the soaring choral lines can rest.

The Presence (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL The Presence (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R130 Discovery Miles 1 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB double choir unaccompanied Written for the Choir of St Mary's Episcopal Cathedral, Edinburgh, The Presence sets lines from Psalms 18, 27, 36, 112, and 119. It was inspired by A. E. Borthwick's painting of the same title, which hangs in St Mary's, and the texts chosen are mainly concerned with light. The performance directions used - 'luminous', 'resonant', 'dark', 'ethereal' - express the setting's intense atmosphere and almost visual sense of space and lustre. While suitable for services and concerts throughout the year, The Presence is especially appropriate for performance during Advent.

Annunciation (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL Annunciation (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied Annunciation is an expressive and expansive Advent carol based on words from John Donne's Holy Sonnets. McDowall creates a captivating atmosphere as the voices explore a soundworld that is mystical, reflective, and bright. The sensitive part-writing and accessible vocal lines will enable choirs of all types to profess the carol's message of 'salvation to all'.

Epiphany (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Epiphany (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or piano This charming carol tells of the joy and wonder of the star of Bethlehem and features Chilcott's hallmark tuneful melodies and carefully chosen harmonic colours. Epiphany takes for its text a translation of two verses by French hymn-writer Charles Coffin, augmented by a newly written verse by Chilcott's long-time collaborator Charles Bennett. The result is a carol which is both narrative and reflective, with a perfect mix of traditional and modern.

Malcolm Archer
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Cecilia McDOWALL
R128 Discovery Miles 1 280 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSATB and organ This atmospheric anthem by Cecilia McDowall commemorates the First World War. It sets a stark English text by Dr Joseph Spence alongside Latin text from Psalm 130, with the words 'In memoriam' added. The lower parts sing Spence's English text, conveying the relentless hardship of life in the trenches with declamatory and constantly developing vocal lines. The sopranos, meanwhile, repeat the Latin words from Psalm 130, providing a striking contrast in their constancy and otherworldliness.

I Sing the Birth Was Born Tonight (Sheet music, Vocal score): Gabriel Jackson I Sing the Birth Was Born Tonight (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Gabriel Jackson
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ Commissioned by The Maryland State Boychoir in 2017, this striking Christmas piece sets a famous text by Ben Jonson. Jackson's attractive and largely diatonic harmonies combine with vivid word-setting, deft manipulations of texture, and a colourful organ part to create a mood of gentle rapture, with a central section that explores more conflicted atmospheres.

Stabat Mater (Book, Vocal score): Gabriel Jackson Stabat Mater (Book, Vocal score)
Gabriel Jackson
R708 Discovery Miles 7 080 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSSSAATTBB unaccompanied Commissioned by The Marian Consort in celebration of their 10th anniversary, and first performed in 2018, Jackson's is one of the most striking modern settings of this ancient text. With a rich scoring matching that of Scarlatti's setting of the same text, the composer's trademark diversity of texture is much in evidence. Passages of rich sonority give way to intimate soloistic sections, the lines spiced up by fiery rhythms and occasional arabesques and glissandi. The piece will be a very satisfying challenge for a proficient choir.

Shenandoah (Sheet music, Vocal score): Oliver Tarney Shenandoah (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Oliver Tarney
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for CCBar and piano This beautiful arrangement of the well-loved folksong gradually grows from simple one- and two-part vocal writing to a delightful display of interweaving imitation in three parts, before an eventual ebbing away. The flowing piano accompaniment provides harmonic support throughout.

We bless thee for our creation (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott We bless thee for our creation (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB double choir unaccompanied This optimistic and affirmatory anthem sets a useful service text of general thanksgiving from the Book of Common Prayer. Chilcott makes full use of the imitation and antiphonal effects that these forces enable, while keeping the vocal lines and part-writing well within the capabilities of most church choirs.

Four Coronation Anthems (Sheet music, Continuo part): George Frideric Handel Four Coronation Anthems (Sheet music, Continuo part)
George Frideric Handel; Edited by Clifford Bartlett
R538 Discovery Miles 5 380 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

These four splendid anthems were composed for the coronation of George II in October 1727 and have since retained a position at the heart of the English choral tradition. The popular anthem Zadok the priest has been performed at all subsequent coronations, and Handel's other contributions to the royal occasion - Let thy hand be strengthened, The King shall rejoice, and My heart is inditing - have the same majestic grandeur, with affecting contrasts between different sections of the sacred texts. The editor, Clifford Bartlett, has corrected various inconsistencies in Handel's score, and complete details of sources and editorial method, additional performance notes, and a critical commentary can be viewed in the companion full score available on hire. This continuo part is also available as part of the wind set.

for SATB (with divisions) and organ This arrangement features Robert Bridges' translation of J. Neander's 17th-century German text set to Herbert Howells' hymn tune 'Michael'. John Rutter adds a descant and reharmonizes the 4th and 5th verses to create a rousing ending to this much-loved classic.

The Master Has Come, and He Calls Us to Follow (Sheet music, Vocal score): Howard HELVEY The Master Has Come, and He Calls Us to Follow (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Howard HELVEY
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Richard A. Williamson
R130 Discovery Miles 1 300 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and piano or organ This uplifting setting of words from Psalms 24 and 118 is bold and energetic, whilst still easy to prepare.

How can I keep from singing? (Sheet music, SSAA vocal score): Sarah Quartel How can I keep from singing? (Sheet music, SSAA vocal score)
Sarah Quartel
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSAA unaccompanied This lively reimagining of the traditional hymn is a thrilling a cappella arrangement which pairs the soaring legato melody with a rhythmic vocal accompaniment. Together, these elements capture both the gentle hope and the profound joy contained in the text. Also including moments of tenderness and reflection, the piece comes to a rousing close with an energy that engages singers and audience alike.

Gary Hallquist
R128 Discovery Miles 1 280 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and piano This lively and upbeat anthem sets a text by the composer based on a passage from Thessalonians.

Simply yet effectively scored and highly accessible in style, this anthem makes a dynamic addition to a service or concert.

How Excellent (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bruce Greer How Excellent (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bruce Greer
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or piano How excellent is an upbeat and celebratory work setting the composer's own paraphrase of Psalm 8. It features exciting and declamatory opening and closing sections with a contrastingly calm and legato central section, evoking this well-known scriptural text. The accompaniment should ideally be played on organ, but piano may be used if necessary.

The Fount of God's Love (Sheet music, Vocal score): Benjamin Harlan The Fount of God's Love (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Benjamin Harlan
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and piano This is a peaceful and expressive setting of Oliver Cooke's hymn 'I Know a Fount', a musical reminder that by God's love and sacrifice our sins are washed away. The rich, homophonic choral writing and simple, rippling piano accompaniment give space for the text to be fully heard and embraced by the listener.

Alan Bullard
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB and organ or piano Opening out from a lyrical exchange between unison lower and upper voices, As the bridegroom to his chosen is based around a John Tauler poem rich in metaphorical language that reflects on the protagonist's relationship with the Lord.

Hoagy Carmichael; Arranged by John Rutter
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for solo voice, SATB (with divisions), flute, and piano John Rutter's timeless arrangement of Skylark, a standard of the golden age of American song, is rich, mellow, and mellifluous. Soaring lines for flute depict the eponymous songbird, and the classic Hoagy Carmichael tune is shared between solo voice and choir, the latter also often providing a cushion of evocative harmonies.

Bob Chilcott
