for SATB unaccompanied This traditional Early American Folk Hymn is
newly arranged by Howard Helvey as a commission by the Chancel
Choir of First Community Church in Columbus Ohio. It was premiered
at the 2008 Ohio Choral Directors Association Summer Conference. A
very exciting and dramatic arrangement with homophonic textures in
some parts and in other parts, the sopranos take the melody while
the other voices sing a rhythmic background of the text or on 'oo.'
The sacred piece is suitable for church services year round.
The Cotswold Male Voice Choir, formed in 1949, has become a
well-known part of the music scene in the Midlands and the South
West. In addition to many local events including concerts at
Tewkesbury Abbey and Gloucester Cathedral, in the past year the
Choir has performed in the French Alps at Annecy, in Wales with
three Welsh choirs, in York's Guildhall at the invitation of the
Mayor of York, and twice at the Malvern Music Festivals. The choir
sings a broad repertoire including male voice choir favorites,
classic and operatic, big show numbers, and popular music. The
majority of Cotswold Male Voice Choir concerts support good causes.
Over the years, this has accounted for many thousands of pounds
raised for charities. This heartwarming history follows the
progress of hundreds of singers, their piano accompanists and guest
artistes as well as the company's travels at home and abroad.
for SATB and organ This is an exciting and accessible setting to a
really memorable tune of William Dalrymple Maclagan's text. It is
easy and fun to sing and ideal for any church choir looking for a
contemporary anthem during All Saint's Day or throughout the month
of November.
