Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric ?Sanuit d'ete ? several melodic themes are supported by dense colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's ?Soneto de laNoche ? from his Cien Sonetos de Amor speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet serene and folk-like utilizing directharmonies accompanying long lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous ?Sure on this Shining Night? is set much like a song from the American musical theater a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke'spoignant ?Voici le soir? recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.--MortenLauridsen

Words by Civilla D. Martin 1869-1948 This new choral is a very distinctive take on a classic hymn. Infusing the enduring hymn God Will Take Care of You with the newer chorus God Is So Good this anthem refreshes the spirit asyou sing it. Appropriate for any age group this gently rhythmic tune opens a cappella and then gives way to a clean world music styling. The optional instrumentation and Accompaniment on Lite Trax 2003 Vol. 63-2(MD5200) add to the fun of God Will Take Care of You.

Antonio Vivaldi's Gloria in D RV589 for SATB and Piano.The Gloria in D Major RV 589 is Vivaldi's most famous sacred work and it is among his most important church music compositions. An independent work in one movement it was probably composed between 1713 and 1717 for the Ospedale della Piet one of the orphanages of Venice in which young girls received a thorough musical training. The musically representative work is divided into 12 sections which differ in scoring movement type key and expressed emotions.

Love Divine All Loves Excelling-Lord With Glowing Heart I'd Praise Thee (Love divine all loves excelling) by Howard Helvey for SATB and Organ.This is a flexible hymn for general worship with an original hymn tune ('Charleston') by Howard Helvey. Either Francis Scott Key's 'Lord with glowing heart I'd praise thee' or Charles Wesley's 'Love divine all loves excelling' may be sung and Helvey employs hymnody's most popular traits including a majestic Organ introduction an emphatic unison first verse and a soaring Soprano descant.

D-Dur-Jan Dismas Zelenka's Magnificat in D (ZWV 108; D-Dur) for SATB.As it does not require a festive choir of trumpets Zelenka's 'Magnificat' was apparently not written for the Vesper service on a high feast day. On comparing the work with Bach's large-scale 'Magnificat' the simpler formal and musical cast of the former becomes immediately apparent.

d-Moll. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Tonalité : d-Moll - Horn, Paul / Kraus, Eberhard (Arr.) - KV 90 / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Orgue

Dvorak's Mass in D Op.86 was completed in 1887. It is scored for Soprano Alto Tenor and Bass soloists SATB and organ or SATB (with optional soloists) and orchestra. Edited by Michael Pilkington.

Kyrie-Gloria-Messe-Johann Christoph Altnickol's Missa in D for SATB.The Missa in d composed around 1750 is one of the few surviving compositions of Altnickol. He was the student and later son-in-law of Johann Sebastian Bach. The wealth of forms and at the same time the clarity of this composition show the influence of his teacher but above all it shows the expression of an individual style of church music. With its contrapuntal mastery and musical depth this Kyrie-Gloria Mass presented here in a first edition represents a high point in this widely disseminated genre.
