A compact multi-themed choral collection for unaccompanied mixed chorus - and in the best sense, a best of current song arrangements! With 35 contemporary song arrangements, the choral collection offers the right song for many occasions: for concerts, weddings, and other celebrations, for Christmas time, or even for ending a choir rehearsal with a nocturne. The focus of the collection lies in folk songs, love songs, nocturnes, and Christmas carols. All the song arrangements were composed in the last fifteen years, and were mainly commissioned for Carus choral collections published as part of the LIEDERPROJEKT - the charitable project supporting singing with children. the works of around 30 highly experienced arrangers are brought together in the volume, including Matt hias E. Becker, Ludwig Bohme, Wolfram Buchenberg, Thomas Gabriel, Gunther Martin Gottsche, John Hoybye, Veit Hubner, Burkhard Kinzler, Giacomo Mezzalira, Vytautas Miskinis, Vic Nees, Peter Schindler, Robert Sund, Christoph Schonherr, Jozef Świder and Alan Wilson. Their arrangements reflect the variety of styles - from contemporary arrangements in classic harmonisations to pieces from jazz, pop, folk, and dance music - with which today's composers can breathe new life into traditional melodies and texts. The song repertoire is also distinguished by its wide variety: classics of the German folk song and Christmas carol repertoire (Kein schoner Land, Leise rieselt der Schnee, etc.) are included in the choral collection as well as excursions into the song repertoire of other countries (La vie en rose, Twinkle, twinkle, little star, etc.) All the arrangements are of easy to medium difficulty, so making this new music, with its wide range of styles, accessible to as many choirs as possible. Audio samples of most of the arrangements are available at www.carus-verlag.com/2210 to get to know the works. Complete recordings are available as a separate digital album under the title LIEDER - folksongs for choir on all the popular music platforms. In short, a beautiful-sounding musical treasure trove of outstanding song settings for all sorts of occasions - at an attractive bargain price! 35 song arrangements for unaccompanied mixed choir by leading choral composers well-known tunes in contemporary, fresh styles for concerts, Christmas, weddings and other celebrations, for the end of rehearsals, or as an encore recordings available as a digital album attractive price The many specially commissioned song arrangements underline Carus-Verlag's promotion of new choral music, as impressive an endeavor as the nurturing of the traditional song repertoire.

Evening Waterfall comes from a cycle of eleven a cappella choral pieces derived from Early Moon, a collection of poetry by Carl Sandburg. The images in these simple, direct lyrics have a depth and resonance that all but cry outfor musical expression. Evening Waterfall is one of the easiest, certainly the most diatonic, of the Early Moon pieces. Imagine yourself, or perhaps, your childhood self, sitting in a tree or lying on the grass in the gloaming ofa summer's evening. The sounds of birds, the feel of wind on your skin, the sight of early stars: all seem to conspire to give you a name...to call you by your real name. But such knowledge--a kind of certainty about one's selfand place--is ephemeral. It cannot be willed to appear, or to stay. We are left alone, wondering what was the name you called me? and why did you go so soon?

Names comes from a cycle of 11 a cappella choral pieces derived from Early Moon, a collection of poetry by Carl Sandberg. The images in these simple, direct lyrics have a depth and resonance that all but cry out for musicalexpression. Names is the first piece in the cycle, and it simply, like a small child, names things - names them with a growing awareness of their generality, and their unity. A horse is more than an individual horse - fish, birds,men, woemn, children: they are, all of them, something larger than they seem - and they are named All God's children.

Two Shelley Songs were composed in 1981 on a commission from Ithaca College and published by Elkan-Vogel, Inc. in the Ithaca College Choral Series in 1982. The two poems by Shelley used here are To- and The Fugitives. Both of these pieces, published separately, are scored for mixed chorus with piano accompaniment. In order to perform them well, an excellent pianist is essential, for the accompaniment to the second poem The Fugitives is quite difficult, though quite pianistic. The style of the first poem is in a somewhat romantic idiom while the second contrasts it with rather wild harmonic writing utilizing large skips, clusters and other dissonant chordal devices. Great care is taken throughout to make these difficult sounding portions as easy as possible to perform by taking great care of the voice leadings. The two pieces should be done as a pair, but could conceivably be done separately.
