The choral writing of Natalie Sleeth needs no introduction, nor does her ingenious Fa-la-la Fantasie! Originally written for SATB voices, Greg Gilpin has masterfully arranged this standard for SAB and 2-part choirs. A cappella writing at its best is presented in this madrigal-style choral work, which gives individual vocal parts the opportunity to shine, while creating exciting patterns in conjunction with the other parts. Rhythmic energy and articulation are the key elements to making this selection perfect for holiday concert or contest performance.

This collection, similarly to the publication entitled 111 bicinia from the 15th century (EMB 14478), contains longer and shorter two-part excerpts from polyphonic ecclesiastical choral works, for pedagogical and liturgical use. As teaching material, on the one hand it introduces and notes in brief textual definitions the characteristics of each given excerpt: on the other hand, it provides easily usable examples for teaching music history, solfege and counterpoint (practice of intervals, score-reading, dictation, stylistic exercises, etc.) At the same time the movements, which also function as independent units, can be quickly learnt, and may on occasions add colour to themusical palette of the liturgy by introducing material that can be performed even by a children's choir. The volume consists mainly of excerpts taken from Mass movements and Magnificats by Palestrina, Lassus, Gombert, Clemens non Papa and others. A separate chapter is devoted to chorale-based bicinia in German, which were already popular in the initial period of Evangelical church music. Ähnlich der Ausgabe 111 Bicinia aus dem 15. Jahrhundert (EMB 14478) präsentiert diese Sammlung für theoretisch- und praktisch-pädagogische , bzw. liturgische Zwecke mehr oder weniger lange zweistimmige Ausschnitte aus geistlichen Chorwerken Sie stellt als Lehrstoff einerseits die musikalische Charakteristika des jeweiligen Ausschnittes vor und registriert diese in kurzen textlichen Definitionen, andererseits liefert sie Beispiele für den Unterricht der Musikgeschichte, der Solfege- und der Kontrapunkt- Lehre (Intervallübungen, des Lesens vom Blatt, für das Diktieren, für Stilübung usw.), die sich leicht erarbeiten lassen. Gleichzeitig können die auch als eigenständige Einheitfunktionierenden Sätze schnell erlernt werden.
