The Mass K.262 (246a) is known as Missa longa. Leopold Mozart designated it so next to the incipit on the cover of the autograph collection of five masses in C major by his son. Mozart literature gives the year of origin as 1776 without mentioning the speculative nature of this claim.The monumentality of the Missa longa suggests that the work was written for a particularly solemn occasion. When scanning for outstanding ecclesiastical events in the 1770?s one cannot ignore the consecration of Ignaz Josef Count Spaur coadjutor and administrator of the diocese of Brixen as titular bishop of Chrysopel on 17 November 1776 in the Salzburg cathedral. Erich Schenk claimsthat Leopold Mozart?s mention of Wolfgang?s ?Spaur Mass? in a letter of 28 May 1778 was in reference to the consecration of Ignaz Josef Spaur an old friend of the Mozart family. Mozart?s work would then have to be seen as an homage of a truly personal nature.

It was time for a new piece to serve as the concert closer and this is it. Selected for the Mike Scheibe Choral Series this benediction uses the text of an ancient Scottish blessing that is delightfully generic in nature. Warm deep and melodic this is a benediction that can be used anywhere - church school college community. Provided with both a piano and optional organ accompaniment (available separately) this selection is a precious end to any event. Easy to medium in difficulty.

for alto voice and string trio. Par BRYARS GAVIN. Incipit Vita Nova (A new life is beginning) was written for male alto and string trio and sets those short phrases that appear in Latin rather than Italian in Dante's La Vita Nuova (New Life). It was composed in February 1989 to celebrate the birth of Vita, the first child of my friends Erica and Robert Hewison. I had decided to write the piece long before the birth but did not start until I knew whether the baby was a boy or a girl, and the baby's name (Vita). At first I looked for all uses of the word 'Vita' (life) among Pico della Mirandola's Conclusiones (having already set Pico for Glorious HiIl, my first piece for the Hilliard Ensemble in 1988) and eventually added one of these sentences ('Omnis vita est immortalis') as the penultimate line of the text, while working on La Vita Nuova as the main source. The first performance was given by David James at St. Mary de Castro Church in Leicester on 1 April 1989, and shortly afterwards was performed with the first performances of Cadman Requiem in Lyon and Marseilles.

The tradition of the Christmas tree in Western Europe dates back to a time long before any Christianization had taken place. During the severely cold winter nights so it was believed evil spirits tried to ?kill? nature. Needle-leaved trees were the only ones which kept their green colour throughout the year and therefore became symbols of immortality. These ?living? trees said to be the work of benign spirits were brought into people?s houses to ward off evil life-threatening powers. In the 14th century people first started to decorate Christmas trees. It was a pagan custom originated by the inhabitants of Alsace. This custom was taken over by the Church in thecourse of the 15th and 16th century. At first the decoration consisted mainly of edibles such as apples and wafers but later small presents were added. Legend has it that the reformer Martin Luther was the first person to decorate a Christmas tree with candles. The flickering candle flames were meant to create the image of a starry sky in which Christ?s apparition could be recognized. The German organ-player Ernst Anschütz from Leipzig was the first person to notate the song ?O Tannenbaum? the melody being a well-known folk song. Next to ?Stille Nacht? ?O Tannenbaum? is the most famous German Christmas song now known throughout the world. In the United States of America the melody of ?O Tannenbaum? has even been used in four States (among which the State of Maryland) for their State song. In David Well?s arrangement the song is first heard as many of us know it. After this introduction however it is transformed into a solid rock version and the beat has been changed. In the second part the familiar three-four time is back but here the rhythm is different from the original. After the richly ornamented rock beat the basic theme can be heard once again and the composition is concluded in a festive manner.

I Will Bow And Be Simple from 'Three Shaker Tunes' arranged by Betty Jacobson for SSA choir with Piano accompaniment.'The form of worship practiced by the Shakers in New England has been a subject of curiosity for more than a century and a half. The Shakers originated in the English Quaker Church and came to America in 1774 and settled in New England and in New York state. They still exist in some communities in these territories.The Shaker songs took on a lively spontaneity and a cross between Quaker orderliness and wild abandonment that characterised the rituals of the French prophets from whom the Shakers distantlystemmed.The Shakers exercised in dancing shaking and whirling until they went into trances and 'recieved songs as gifts.'The songs are derived from 'spirit manifestations' and all have individual types of rhythms and texts.' - Edward D. Andrews from 'Shaker Songs' The Musical Quarterly October 1937

The musical setting of the Latin hymn Te Deum laudamus was written shortly before Dvorak's departure for America. This text meant a lot to the composer and in his conception the work brings together the sacred music tradition so familiar to Dvorak from Czech church choirs and the majestic oratorio style.The Piano reduction based on the critical edition of the score was produced by Karel Solc. This title is part of the first Complete Critical Edition of Works by Antonin Dvorak.- Performance material available for hire.
