ISBN 9790007166465. Text language: German/English. Text: Fritsch, Ahasverus.
This six-movement cantata uses the hymn of the same name by Ahasverus Fritsch, first recorded in 1698 in the Darmstadter Liederbuch. This places it amongst those chorale cantatas which use a hymn from the repertoire associated with Pietism. As was customary, the hymn text is retained in the outer movements, whereas the text for the inner movements - two secco recitatives and a tenor and a bass aria - are concerned with the contrast between the hostile world and the certainty of Jesus; the links between the cantata text and the Feast of the Epiphany are correspondingly tenuous. In the first movement the soprano sings the hymn melody complete, accompanied by mainly homophonic vocal parts, whilst the instrumental writing is largely influenced by the melody of the first line of the hymn. Remarkable is the tenor aria, with its contrasting central section and its chromatic twists and turns, in which Bach once again proves himself to be a master of harmony. The demands on the chorus are fairly modest, whereas the instrumentalists are challenged in the first movement and in both the arias. Score available separately - see item CA.3112300.

Every Christmas, we celebrate the birth of a Child. With this breathtaking work, legendary composer Mary McDonald invites us to truly remember what is at the heart of Christmas: this Child, this King, this Savior who was sent to earth to redeem the world. THIS is Christmas. In this cantata, Mary tells the story of Christmas through familiar carols, inspired original melodies, and thoughtful narration. Enhanced with an optional orchestration by Ed Hogan, the work, available for SATB and SAB choirs, may also be accompanied by piano only. The duration is roughly 35 minutes, and audio tracks and other rehearsal aids are available in both physical and digital editions. This year, may we all take a few moments to reflect on the reason we celebrate, for this is great news: This Is Christmas!

The Complete Vocal Works Johann Pachelbel is known today as a composer of organ music and of a world-famous instrumental canon which frequently features in concert programmes and recording catalogues. However, the same can be said of only a few of his vocal compositions. At most, the motets appear occasionally in church music repertoire. Pachelbel’s arias, vocal concerti and large-scale Magnificats have received little attention up to now. Church musicians and musicologists have long wished for a critical edition of these important works, which survive in Pachelbel’s manuscript and were largely composed in his main places of work, Erfurt and Nuremberg . As always with such ventures, new discoveries are to be expected regarding the body of works, source material and the context of the works. This concerns not only beautiful music, but rather a deepening of our understanding of Pachelbel as a key figure between southern and central German traditions, and the recognition of an oeuvre which has all too often been pushed into the shadows by the mighty Bach. The Critical Edition The edition aims to make available all of Johann Pachelbel’s surviving vocal works in the best possible form. It is edited by the Institut für Musikwissenschaft at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and the Institut für Kirchenmusik at the Kunstuniversität Graz. Two volumes per year are planned. As a chronological order is not possible in many cases, the individual works have been arranged according to scoring within their groups. Fragments and works where Johann Pachelbel’s authorship is doubtful appear at the end of the respective group. Each volume includes an introduction (Ger/Eng) and a Critical Commentary (Ger). Format 25.5 x 32.5 cm; cloth-bound

Written for the choirs of Chichester, Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals, An Admonition to Rulers was composed shortly before Mathias's choral masterpiece, This Worlde's Joie, but has remained unpublished until now. Its powerful text from Wisdom 6 and 7, clothed in the composer's colouful , dramatic music, make it an ideal choice of anthem for Remembrance Sunday, or any occasion when justice, order, and the role of those who govern are the focus of worship.

â??The Circleâ? is a composition sensitive to the needs of a world growing ever more aware of social justice. Its text is based on the words of American poet Edwin Markham - â??He drew a circle that shut me out ... but love and I had the wit to win: We drew a circle that took him in!â? The piece was notably performed by Tonality, an ensemble conducted by self-proclaimed music activist Alexander Lloyd Blake. Their award-winning rendition brought renewed attention to the piece's inclusive message and compelling musical setting.
