The classic 'As With Gladness Men of Old' has been set with great care and creativity to Bizet's 'March of the Kings' tune, resulting in an anthem filled with energy and pure fun. 'We Three Kings' is also beautifully incorporated. Jubilant! / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

The 'Petite Messe solennelle? is the finest work of Rossini's late years. He composed it between 1863 and 1864 at the age of 71 as a commission for Countess Louise Pillet -Will for the consecration of her private chapel, where the work received its first performance in March 1864. Together with the 'Stabat mater?, the mass is one of the composer's mostimportant sacred works.The unusual instrumentation with two pianos and harmonium is entirely in keeping with the Neapolitan keyboard tradition of the 18th century which was cultivated in France in Rossini's day. It forms a distinct contrast to the style of large-scale sacred compositions as written by, for example, Liszt and Bruckner. Rossini explained that he wrote the later orchestral version of the work dating from 1867 out of concern that if he did not do this, other composers might orchestrate the mass too heavily in later arrangements.- Choral score based on the Urtext of the series 'Works of Gioachino Rossini?- Supplements the already existing material available to this work / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

This little tribute to William Ferris and the William Ferris Chorale consists of two sections, the first slow and the second quick. The text is simply the two words of the title, the Amen being the first section and (with minimal overlap) the Alleluia the second. In each part, the relevant word is gradually built up from its component syllables or sounds, and the second section is a gradual progress from a quiet, light texture to a blazing final cadence. Commissioned by the William Ferris Chorale for their 20th Anniversary Season and first performed by them on 27 March 1992 at Mount Carmel Church, Chicago, Illinois, conducted by William Ferris. / SATB

Les chansons de ce recueil proviennent pour la quasi-totalité de collectes réalisées par les acteurs du monde associatif inscrit dans le réseau de la Fédération des Associations de Musiques et Danses Traditionnelles (FAMDT). À l?invitation de Justin Bonnet, coordinateur de cette édition, les documentalistes des associations implantées dans les différentes régions de France ont fourni une sélection de chansons issues de leur territoire. Les critères étaient assez lâches : représentativité ou rareté du thème, chanson remarquable par son interprétation? Toutes ces chansons ont été ensuite proposées aux compositeurs retenus pour cette édition qui ont fait leur marché dans cette sélection ! Il en ressort au final 23 chansons présentées ici dans des arrangements variés (principalement pour 3 voix mixtes), retenues plutôt sur des critères esthétiques que de représentativité des différentes régions de France. La musique a primé ! Ont ainsi contribué au projet Chansons traditionnelles pour aujourd?hui, des associations ou entités inscrites dans le réseau de la FAMDT (www.famdt.com). Un certain nombre d?entre elles disposent d?un catalogue en ligne sur lequel il est possible de consulter les archives sonores en provenance de leur région (cf. références dans la préface du livre)./ Recueil / Choeur

Composer's NoteOnce we had a joint conception to create a concert telling a life story. The premiere was planned to take place on the Acropolis in Athens. It was intended to be a large event a hybrid of a mystery playand an opera. Krzysztof Kieslowski would be the director Krzysztof Piesiewicz was responsible for the script and I was planning to compose the music. We thought it might be the first of a series of musical performances to bedeveloped in various interesting places around the world in the next few years. But it was life that authored a different ending: Krzysztof Kieslowski died in March of 1996.The first part of Requiem for My Friend is meant as afarewell to Krzysztof Kieslowski. I dedicate this music to him. Zbigniew Preisner

Ce choral magnifique de Bert Appermont s?épanouit lentement. Les différentes groupes d?instruments reprennent le m?me thème et sont menées au climax sublime. Puis le tout s?éteind d?une manière posée.
