Silver swan (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott Silver swan (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R148 Discovery Miles 1 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

for SATB double choir unaccompanied This setting of Orlando Gibbons and Catullus is a re-working of Gibbons's celebrated 17th-century madrigal (of the same title) for five voices. It retains the lilting depiction of the swan and the original composer's love of antiphonal effects and rich texture, providing an ideal platform for established choirs to explore tone, blend, and musical imagery.

Connoisseurs of Jackson's music will recognise the hallmarks of his highly accessible style: inventive harmony that is largely diatonic but never plain, and textures that encompass the blazingly sonorous and the expressively intimate.

Mack Wilberg
R149 Discovery Miles 1 490 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

for SATB and piano four-hands or orchestra This short, energetic piece sets words by contemporary hymn-writer Mary Louise Bringle. The text is full of positivity and hope, and Wilberg's use of a 7/8 time signature keeps the verses propelling forward joyously, while undulating quavers shape the refrains. Several key changes are supported by a continuously rhythmic accompaniment in the form of piano duet or large orchestra, and an instrumental interlude precedes the third and final verse.

for soprano solo and SSATB unaccompanied Cecilia, Busy Like a Bee is a reflective and reverential setting of a text adapted from the Divine Office for St Cecilia's Day.

for SATB unaccompanied (with divisions) Three Prayers, with a Vision of Light sets early Christian texts by St Augustine of Hippo, Baldwin of Forde, and St Mary Magdalene de Pazzi alongside words by Estonian poet Doris Kareva. Each movement offers a change of mood, from the reflective 'Conversi ad Dominum' to the more urgent and pleading 'Aufer a me, Domine' and serene 'Veni, Sancte Spiritus', with 'He who lives in light' offering an expressive and contrasting central movement.

Deck the hall (Sheet music, Vocal score): Mack Wilberg Deck the hall (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Mack Wilberg
R146 Discovery Miles 1 460 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

for SATB and piano or piano four-hands or orchestra Wilberg's arrangement of the Christmas favourite Deck the hall is bright and energetic from beginning to end. After an uplifting introduction going through several keys, the choir sings the three carol verses in up to seven parts. The accompaniment provides both a harmonic underpinning and almost continuous flourishing semiquaver movement. Further modulations throughout the piece lead to an extended 'fa la la' section to bring the piece to an exhilarating close.

Missa Mariae (Sheet music, Vocal score): Cecilia McDOWALL Missa Mariae (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Cecilia McDOWALL
R148 Discovery Miles 1 480 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

for SSA and organ This concise Latin mass setting is entirely suitable for liturgical use, but the sharply delineated characters of the different movements make it also an appealing concert work. The organ part is supportive, but full of interest and not merely accompanimental. Particularly memorable are the jaunty Gloria, with its constantly shifting time-signatures, and the haunting Agnus Dei.

for SATB and organ Michael Finnissy's John the Baptist won the 2015 British Composer Award in the Liturgical Category.

A History of Western Choral Music, Volume 2 (Hardcover): Chester L Alwes A History of Western Choral Music, Volume 2 (Hardcover)

A History of Western Choral Music explores the various genres, key composers, and influential works essential to the development of the western choral tradition. Author Chester L. Alwes divides this exploration into two volumes which move from Medieval music and the Renaissance era up to the 21st century. Volume II begins at the transition from the Classical era to the Romantic, with an examination of the major genres common to both periods. Exploring the oratorio, part song, and dramatic music, it also offers a thorough discussion of the choral symphony from Beethoven to Mahler, through to the present day. It then delves into the choral music of the twentieth century through discussions of the major compositional approaches and philosophies that proliferated over the course of the century, from impressionism to serialism, neo-classicism to modernism, minimalism, and the avant-garde. It also considers the emerging tendency towards nationalistic composition amongst composers such as Bartok and Stravinsky, and discusses in great detail the contemporary music of the United States, and Great Britain. Framing discussion within the political, religious, cultural, philosophical, aesthetic, and technological contexts of each era, A History of Western Choral Music offers readers specialized insight into major composers and works while providing a cohesive understanding of choral music's place in Western history.
