Hymn to St. Cecilia is an English setting of the Latin prayer Cecilia virgo, whose melodic, harmonic, and rhythmic features are punctuated by singing that is sometimes accompanied by the organ and sometimes exposed in accappella sections. The crux of the piece occurs in the moment that describes how many look to St. Cecilia (i.e. music) “to transform the world’s mourning into the glory of Paradise.”

UPC: 785147047360. Latin, English. Text Source: Traditional Latin Requiem. Text by Charles Anthony Silvestri.
Requiem Novum, an evocative musical work from Swedish composer Mårten Jansson, weaves drama, emotion, and exquisite compositional technique info a masterpiece for our time. The choir (singing the traditional Latin texts) represents the mourning and God-fearing congregation, while the soloist (singing new English texts by Charles Anthony Silvestri) answers as one beyond the veil, sending back words of comfort and hope. Highly melodic and incredibly moving, Jansson's new setting of the Latin Requiem offers a new perspective on grief and loss. Available here for choir, organ, percussion, and soloist, but also available for choir and full orchestra (WW1941A).

Johann Georg Zechner is considered to be one of the most prolific Austrian composers of church music during the time of Maria Theresa. His ca. 250 surviving compositions, including works in practically all genre of church music, found a wide reception in many Austrian, Bohemian and Moravian monasteries and in pilgrimage churches. His Grosse Orgelsolomesse was probably composed in 1761 for the dedication of the organ in the monastery at Gottweig. As in other of his late works, the strict royal style, which essentially characterizes Zechner's compositions, is tempered through the use of elements of the galant style of composition. The organ plays solistically in all of the movements. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4068200.
