But Sullivan was also a composer of many other works among them operas Orchestral works ballets and hymns and church pieces.Among his church works Sullivan is best known for his hymn Onward Christian Soldiers and the theme of that hymn isincorporated in this Te Deum. Sullivan wrote the work on request for a Thanksgiving Service held in St Paul’s Cathedral at the close of the Boer War in South Africa.

Arr. Philip Sparke. Par ARTHUR SULLIVAN SIR. En 1868, Sir Arthur Sullivan (1842-1900) publie une série de sept chants polyphoniques ( Seven Part Songs ) pour Choeur d’Hommes. The Long Day Closes est probablement le chant qui a le mieux résisté aux vicissitudes du temps. Il figure toujours au répertoire de nombreux Choeurs d’Hommes ou Choeurs Mixtes et sa mélodie reste appréciée pour l’intensité émotionnelle et les sonorités diaphanes qui l’exaltent. Les secrets d’un beau rendu orchestral résident dans le respect de l’approche structurée des nuances. / Niveau : 1.5 / Pièce de concert / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie
