Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Simple Gifts has been sung to numerous different lyrics (particularly Sydney Carter’s 1960s hymn Lord of the dance) and the tune is very well known, thanks to its use in Aaron Copland’s score for the ballet Appalachian Spring, first performed in 1944. Elder Joseph Brackett – a shaker from Maine – originally wrote it as a ‘dancing song’ in 1848. This arrangement by Alexander L’Estrange is appropriately simple and beautifully effective.

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Danny Boy (the melody of which is also known as Londonderry Air), is often assumed to be an old, traditional tune, however its structure and meter do not fit any of the known Irish folksong forms. As for the words most commonly associated with it for the last hundred years or so, they were written by an English lawyer who apparently never set foot in Ireland! Still, it’s one of the best-loved folksongs of all and this very approachable arrangement by Alexander L’Estrange brings out the bitter-sweet nature of the text.

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER. Written to mark the Grand Départ of the Tour de France 2014, this lively choral work on the theme of cycling is the next big cantata from composer Alexander L'Estrange. Scored for mixed voices and jazz quintet, it has everything that made Zimbe! and Ahoy! such triumphs: a medley of new and existing tunes from an array of styles including folk, music hall, barbershop, music theatre, Gilbert and Sullivan and, of course, jazz. The accessible choral lines are underpinned by a rhythmic and groovy jazz quintet that gives wonderful colour and texture to the overall sound. Scored for mixed voices alone (no children required), this work is an ideal choice for choral societies and community choirs./ Recueil / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Quelques Instruments

Par L'ESTRANGE ALEXANDER (Arr.). Now Sleeps The Crimson Petal entreats a lover to emulate nature’s patterns, imploring that they first waken like the firefly and then ‘slip into my bosom and be lost in me’.

From The Novel 'Chevengur' By Andrey Platonov. Par WUSTIN ALEXANDER. Le choeur chante: ' il existe dans une terre lointaine et sur la rive opposée et ce que nous voyons dans les rêves / mais est donné à l'ennemi. ' La chanson est dédiée au compositeur Alexander Raskatov, qui avait émigré juste en Allemagne. C'est une représentation amer et ironique d'une terre où on peut mener la vie de Riley, avec birdsong idyllique, sons murmurantes et accords de chaîne mous. Mais, en fin de compte, le rêve de kitsch vient à un terme collant./ Répertoire / Choeur D'Hommes et Orchestre
