In 1976 the Swedish pop group ABBA released Dancing Queen  eventually going on to become one of their most successful hits. With its infectious rhythm and catchy melody the song hit the top of the charts in numerous countries. This new arrangement for SSATB a cappella gives this pop classic a new lease of life. This arrangement by Carsten Gerlitz puts the passion and pop sensibility of the tune into a wonderfully rich a cappella performance this item contains the SSATB arrangement with 10 separate scores. The lyrics are in English.

Although presumably written to celebrate the Queen's birthday on 6 February most probably in 1713 there is no record of the first performance of Handel's Ode. The nine movements contain much variety but it is the first movement 'Eternal source of light divine' where Handel prodces some of his most inspired writing.- Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition- Full score (BA4007) and vocal score (BA400790) available for sale- Performance material (BA400772) available for hire

Preview the score here Download the digital sheet music here COMPOSER'S NOTE At the suggestion of Michael Hampel, Precentor of St Paul's Cathedral, I have set words by Robert Bridges, who was Poet Laureate from 1913-1930. Bridges was an outstanding humanitarian and writer, whose poetry has inspired me before in The Voice of Desire, a song-cycle for mezzo-soprano and piano. This short, fast-tempo setting aims to emulate the swift, fleet-footed rhyme and metre of the two-verse poem, with its unobtrusive but telling reference to 'man in his hasty days'. J.W. Commissioned by the Chapter of St Paul's Cathedral to mark the 90th birthday of HM The Queen, generously supported by the Boltini Trust. Performed at the National Service of Thanksgiving for HM The Queen's birthday at St Paul's Cathedral, London, on Friday 10th June 2016 in the presence of HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Edinburgh. Music by Judith Weir, Master of the Queen's Music, words by Robert Bridges, Poet Laureate in the year HM The Queen was born. Duration c. 3½ minutes I LOVE ALL BEAUTEOUS THINGS words by Robert Bridges OM (1844-1930) Poet Laureate 1913-30 I love all beauteous things, I seek and adore them - God hath no better praise, And man in his hasty days Is honoured for them. I too will something make And joy in the making - Altho' to-morrow it seem Like the empty words of a dream Remembered on waking. (I love all beauteous things, etc…)/ Feuillet / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orgue
