De Profundis - Night Raid (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL De Profundis - Night Raid (Sheet music, Vocal score)
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.

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

for SATB and piano For this appealing arrangement, Howard Helvey has created the perfect marriage of text and melody. The popular hymn tune 'Ash Grove' is paired with a beautiful text by Sarah Doudney that is rich in imagery. The sparkling piano accompaniment provides the perfect backdrop to the sensitively arranged vocal parts and reflects the joyful and optimistic character of the text.

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.

Evening Hymn (Sheet music, SSAA vocal score): Bob Chilcott Evening Hymn (Sheet music, SSAA vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SSAA and piano This serene, reflective anthem is a rich addition to the Choral Evensong repertoire. Chilcott artfully entwines an original setting of William Fuller's 'Evening Hymn', most famously set by Henry Purcell, and the plainsong melody for the Latin hymn 'Te lucis ante terminum', in J. M. Neale's English translation. Grounded in minor tonalities, the anthem makes use of a semi-chorus of altos and sopranos for the hymn tune, juxtaposed with compelling and complementary melodies in the other parts, building to a resolute final section before a peaceful 'Amen'.

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.

I was glad when they said unto me - 1911 version (Sheet music, Vocal score): C. Hubert H. Parry I was glad when they said unto me - 1911 version (Sheet music, Vocal score)
C. Hubert H. Parry; Edited by John Rutter
R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB double choir and organ or orchestra or brass ensemble This renowned anthem was written for the coronation of Edward VII in 1902, and has been performed at all subsequent British coronations. This edition presents the 1911 version prepared by the composer for the coronation of George V, with the 'Vivats' as written for that occasion and an alternative editorial text by John Rutter that enables the anthem to be performed in its complete form on any suitable occasion. Rutter's fascinating editorial preface provides interesting contextual notes and informative performance considerations. Orchestral scores and instrumental parts for full and reduced orchestrations and for a version for brass, organ, and optional timpani are available on rental.

Three Riddles - from The Angry Planet (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Three Riddles - from The Angry Planet (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for children's choir (SS) and piano These charming settings of riddles by Bob Chilcott's long-term collaborator Charles Bennett were originally published as part of the environmental cantata The Angry Planet. Simple, yet highly effective, each has a subject taken from nature. Here rescored for two-part children's choir (SS) and piano, they may be performed individually or as a set.

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.

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.

The Music of Stillness (Sheet music, Vocal score): Elaine Hagenberg The Music of Stillness (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Elaine Hagenberg
R156 Discovery Miles 1 560 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB (with divisions) and piano The Music of Stillness is a beautiful and emotive setting of Sara Teasdale's poem 'There Will Be Rest'. Sonorously scored choral phrases conjure up images of 'stars shining, rooftops covered with snow, crystal peace...finding the music of stillness'. Following a serene opening, the piece rises and falls through both affecting climaxes and passages of great tranquility, ending with the same sense of stillness with which it begins.

In Everything Give Thanks (Sheet music, Vocal score): Gary Hallquist In Everything Give Thanks (Sheet music, Vocal score)
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. The opening and closing sections feature a catchy melody and recurring syncopated figure in the piano, enclosing a more subdued middle section. 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.

As the Bridegroom to His Chosen (Sheet music, Vocal score): Alan Bullard As the Bridegroom to His Chosen (Sheet music, Vocal score)
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. Contrasting textures and eminently singable melodies make this a musically rewarding yet accessible anthem.

Skylark (Sheet music, Vocal score): Hoagy Carmichael Skylark (Sheet music, Vocal score)
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.

Four Meditations from St John Passion (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Four Meditations from St John Passion (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R221 Discovery Miles 2 210 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for soprano solo, SATB, with organ and unaccompanied This short collection presents the complete set of meditations from Chilcott's stunning St John Passion. Setting English poems from the 13th to the early 17th centuries, the meditations provide a very personal reflection on the dramatic story of the passion - at times anguished, adoring, and humbling. The beautiful soprano solo soars over the SATB voices and organ accompaniment in 'Christ, my Beloved' and 'Jesus, my Leman', while the unaccompanied choir take centre stage for 'Miserere, my Maker' and 'Away vain world'.

Cecilia McDOWALL
R158 Discovery Miles 1 580 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

This delicate, spring-like poem, by poet Kevin Crossley-Holland, is an affectionate salutation to a newborn babe. The poet tells that the parents couldn't decide on a name for their baby, and that instead of imposing an inappropriate name on her, they will welcome her into the garden of the world and wait for her to 'declare' herself. After a hushed introduction of whispered welcomes, the voices burst into a dance-like song in celebration of the new arrival's homecoming.
