The Loving Memory (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL The Loving Memory (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R160 Discovery Miles 1 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATB (with divisions) and organ This joyous, upbeat anthem sets a compelling poem by contemporary poet Sean Street in response to a text by sixteenth-century Bishop of Norwich John Parkhurst on the subject of 'alma mater'. The text encourages us to appreciate the past, our education, and where it can lead, reflecting on the profound ties we can form to a time or a place. The bright, driving organ part, with solo interjections, is juxtaposed with sustained vocal writing with rich, lush harmonies.

for solo violin, upper-voice choir (women's and/or advanced children's choir), with harp, and strings or organ This four-movement work is inspired by the idea of 'Jerusalem' both as a Holy City and a utopian ideal of heavenly peace and seraphic bliss. The composer has selected four biblical texts, in English and Latin, that express different aspects of this vision. The harp part is identical for both full and reduced instrumentations.

The work was first performed by the King's Singers & King's College Choir at King's College Chapel, Cambridge, 1 May 2008.

R182 Discovery Miles 1 820 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Am Abend (Sheet music, Vocal score): Gabriel Jackson Am Abend (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Gabriel Jackson
R120 Discovery Miles 1 200 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied Am Abend is a setting of 'Grodek', which is thought to be the last work of the Austrian poet Georg Trakl. Written in 1913, the year before Trakl committed suicide at the age of 27, the poem is set in the town of Grodek on the Eastern Front, where he had served as a medical officer. Jackson's setting is agonizingly moving, opening with an eerie alto melody before the rest of the choir enter with haunting harmonies and cluster chords, reflecting the darkness of the text. Grace notes and glissandi add an Eastern flavour and evoke the 'wild lament' and 'dark flutes' of Trakl's poem. Jackson's setting builds to a powerful climax, before the altos close with a quiet, repeated fragment on 'die ungebornen Enkel' ('the unborn grandsons'). First performed by the BBC Singers, directed by Paul Brough, at Milton Court Concert Hall, London, on 11 February 2016.

Ralph Vaughan Williams
R118 Discovery Miles 1 180 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SSA and piano or string orchestra or full orchestra This is an exuberant and animated chorus from the cantata In Windsor Forest, which was itself adapted from the opera Sir John in Love. The text is from Act II, Scene 3 of Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and features the women's chorus gleefully denouncing men as 'deceivers'. The colourful orchestral accompaniment is available on hire in versions of full orchestra or string orchestra and piano.

Three Shakespeare Songs (Sheet music, Vocal score): John Rutter Three Shakespeare Songs (Sheet music, Vocal score)
John Rutter
R300 Discovery Miles 3 000 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

for SATBarB unaccompanied The shades of Finzi and Vaughan Williams are strongly present in these three delightful unaccompanied choral settings, and yet the style and execution are wholly Rutter's own. O mistress mine is a jaunty jazz waltz, Be not afeard casts a dreamy spell with dusky sonorities and magical harmonies, and Sigh no more, ladies brings the set to a cheerfully melodious and high-spirited conclusion.

Singing for Our Lives - Stories from the Street Choirs (Paperback): Campaign Choirs Writing Collective Singing for Our Lives - Stories from the Street Choirs (Paperback)
Campaign Choirs Writing Collective
R664 Discovery Miles 6 640 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

The Campaign Choirs Network is a loose affiliation of like-minded choirs across the UK sharing a belief in a better world for all and dedicated to taking action by singing about it; the Campaign Choirs Writing Collective is a part of that network. The book intends to inspire the reader to engage with this world: to find out more, to join a choir in their community, to enlist their local street choir to support campaigns for social change and, more generally, to mobilize artistic creativity in progressive social movements. It is an introduction to street choirs and their history, exploring origins in and connections with other social movements, for example the Workers Education Association, the Clarion movement, Big Flame and the Social Forum movement. The book identifies the political nodes where choir histories intersect, notably Greenham Common, the Miners' Strike, anti-apartheid and Palestinian struggles. The title of the book is taken from a song by the respected American musician and activist Holly Near, and is popular in the repertoire of many street choirs. Exploring the role of street choirs in political culture, Singing For Our Lives introduces this neglected world to a wider public, including activists and academics. Signing for Our Lives also elaborates the personal stories and experiences of people who participate in street choirs, and the unique social practices created within them. The book tells the important, if often overlooked, story of how making music can contribute to non-violent, just and sustainable social transitions. www.singing4ourlives.net/about.html

O Albion (Sheet music): Thomas Ades O Albion (Sheet music)
Thomas Ades; Arranged by Jim Clements
R83 Discovery Miles 830 Ships in 9 - 15 working days

Ever since its premiere in 1994, Thomas Ades' first string quartet, Arcadiana has been captivating audiences with its evocations of vanishing, vanished, and imaginary idylls. Of all the work's movements it is O Albion that has most captured the imagination of listeners: seventeen sighing, devotissimo bars that, in only three minutes, conjure a whole emotional world. This arrangement for SSAATTBB voices was created by Jim Clements for vocal group Voces8, who recorded it for Decca in 2018. It sets a line from William Blake's Visions of the Daughters of Albion: 'The Daughters of Albion hear her woes, and echo back her sighs.' A piano part is included for rehearsal.

Ralph Vaughan Williams
R160 Discovery Miles 1 600 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this unaccompanied motet Vaughan Williams sets a text by the English poet John Skelton (c.1463-1529). The music captures the spirituality of the text with floating choral lines and a sophisticated harmonic language, employing eerie dissonances to create a sense of otherworldliness. The work carries the following dedication: 'To the memory of my master Hubert Parry not as an attempt palely to reflect his incomparable art, but in the hope that he would have found in this motet (to use his own words) 'something characteristic'.'.
