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.

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.

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 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.

Benjamin Harlan
R129 Discovery Miles 1 290 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

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
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.

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.

David Bednall
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Paul Drayton
R145 Discovery Miles 1 450 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

A Prophecy of Dawn (Sheet music, Vocal score): Bob Chilcott A Prophecy of Dawn (Sheet music, Vocal score)
Bob Chilcott
R157 Discovery Miles 1 570 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

for SATB, violin, and piano A Prophecy of Dawn is an artfully crafted setting of a beautifully descriptive poem by Matthew Meiklejohn, who was awarded the Victoria Cross for his actions in the Second Boer War. The piece is rich in contrasting material, some of which recapitulates, and many of the text's images are apparent in the music, for example lively birdsong in the violin and a radiant shift into a major key at the poet's first mention of dawn. The violin part contributes much to the setting, and is permitted moments of virtuosity amidst the energetic piano writing and expansive choral textures.
