Lully, Lullay was written at the request of Philip Reed, music director of the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir, which gave the first performance on 17 December 2011 at Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, Suffolk. Inspired by the familiar medieval text of the Coventry Carol , it is sung a cappella and invokes the sense of a lullaby through its metre and lilting melody. The fragility and bittersweet tonality of the opening verse is reflected in the continuous interaction between the tonic and dominant keys and resolving dissonances. This develops into broader passages of increased range and dynamics during the second and third verses, where the melody is passed between the upper and lower voices, clearly invoking the poignancy of the text. The last verse returns to the original theme with subtle harmonic changes and a reflective final cadence. An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers, the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs, including sacred and secular works from simple, four-part settings to more expansive, yet accessible, repertoire in an exciting variety of styles. Harriet Wybor was born in Leeds in 1986 and read music as an undergraduate at Durham University, followed by an M.A. in composition with Martyn Harry and António Pinho Vargas. Harriet's main compositional interests are sacred and secular contemporary choral and chamber music, and the relationship between music and time. Her work reflects a wide range of influences from renaissance choral music and medieval texts to 20th-century literature and art. Harriet has had works performed by the Northern Sinfonia (conducted by H K Gruber), Psappha, the Allegri String Quartet, St John's College Choir, Durham, the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir and the Fishburn Band - broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Listen to the Band . After graduating from Durham University, Harriet continued her studies at the University of Edinburgh, where she read for an LL.M. in innovation, technology and the law. She has subsequently pursued a career in music publishing where she works in copyright and composes in her spare time. / Choeur SATB

Par SHARP TIM. This work grew out of the co-creator's love for the tunes and texts coming out of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the words of Tim Sharp, We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, transported that image to Appalachia, and Angel Band is the result. Containing 8 carols (mostly familiar), a processional and recessional, Angel Band is a fusion of ideas ranging from medieval tunes to contemporary bluegrass. / Date parution : 2021-12-09/ Répertoire / Choeur SATB

Tropus. Par SCHNEIDER ENJOTT. In this composition Schneider uses the famous words from the liturgy for Good Friday: “Darkness fell, and on the ninth hour Jesus called out with a loud voice: My God, why hast Thou forsaken me?” Here he draws on the earlier form of the “trope”, using what was a common device in composition in medieval times, inserted into already completed works as a sort of commentary. In this sense - making use of the post-modern principle of suggesting links across the ages - TENEBRAE makes reference to the motet “Tenebrae factae sunt” (Schott, C 51305) by Davide Perez (1711-1782), from which some melodic fragments have been taken and freely developed. An explosively contrived stylisation is set against the self-contained world of sound in the original piece./ Répertoire / Soprano, Violon et Orgue

Villemand Og Hans Væne Brud - og andre middelalderviser - a collection of Danish songs from the Medieval period. Denne lille samling på en halv snes middelalderviser tager sigte på anvendelse både i pædagogiske og i andre sammenhænge hvor man beskæftiger sig med middelalderen - og kunne få lyst til at synge nogle af den tids sange - måske også at danse til - og måske endda at dramatisere. Men denne samling er anderledes end man ellers er vant til at se i forbindelse med middelalderviser. For at klare problemet med de ofte meget uregelmæssige versefødder som er så karakteristisk for middelalderviser introduceres her en ny måde atgengive middelaldersangtekster på. Det vil gøre sangene lige til at gå til og meget nemmere at synge - især at synge sammen. Desuden beskrives der nogle meget enkle dansetrin som har sine rødder tilbage i middelalderen og der gives becifringsforslag til brug ved eventuel instrumentledsagelse. Indhold:Villemand Tyge Hermansøn Svend i Rosengård Ramund Ebbe Skammelsøn Der står en lind Dronning Dagmar Der stod tre skalke Frydeligt med jubelkor Drømde mik en drøm
