English composer William Boyce was born in London in 1711 and died in 1779. He began his musical career as a choir boy at St. Pauls cathedral and throughout his career, he wrote symphonies and church music. Alleluia was originally written for four voices a cappella; however, this arrangement has an accompaniment that may be used for rehearsal or in performance. The key has also been lowered from the original key of C major to Bb major, making this arrangement of this beautiful work for SSA voices more accessible for SSA choirs. The form consists of homophonic sections followed by canons and refrains with the homophonic sections. Whether performing a cappella or with piano, sing Alleluia by William Boyce with joy and enthusiasm.

Johannes Brahms, born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany and died April 3, 1897 in Vienna where he lived most of his life. Brahms is one of the most famous composers of the Romantic period (1830-1920) although his music has many elements of the Classical period (1750 to 1830) as he followed many of the practices of Classical composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In addition to being a composer, he was also well-known as a pianist and conductor. Brahms began writing the Requiem (also known as the German Requiem, Opus 45) soon after his mother died in February 1865 which caused him great grief. In April of that year, he completed the first, second and fourth movements and completed the rest of the seven movements in May of 1868. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place (Wie Lieblich sind Deine Wohnungen) was the fourth movement of his seven movement work.   Originally written for SATB voices in E-flat major, this seamlessly similar arrangement for SAB voices, now in C major, affords all voices comfortable ranges. Although, it is approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds in length, it is perceived to be much shorter because of the contrasting stylistic sections within the work. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place is one of the most beautiful choral pieces by Brahms, perhaps in the entire Romantic period.   Although Brahms wrote the original piano reduction, in this edition, it has been made more accessible for pianists with a wide range of skills. Pay close attention to the dynamic markings throughout the piece, making them apparent to the voices, conductor, and audience. I hope you enjoy singing this beautiful and timeless piece by Johannes Brahms! Russell Robinson, Arranger        .

UPC: 038081561981. English. Ben Cohn.

A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.

Greg suggests performing his moody setting of the enduring folk song with longing and mystery---a fitting approach for this creative re-harmonization. A hushed layering of the first four melodic notes provides the gentle introduction and pensive closing for this uniquely wistful arrangement. Rich choral sonorities, with just a touch of dissonance, emerge when the piece arrives at its love is handsome peak.
