From the writer of hymn texts such as O Blessed Spring and Rise, O Church, like Christ Arisen comes this second collection of expressive texts for worship. Like her first collection (O Blessed Spring, 1997), each of the approximately 30 hymn texts comes paired with a tune that matches it well-some familiar, some new. These poetic, deeply rooted lyrics will serve worshiping assemblies well, and are recommended for composers looking for fresh material on which to base new hymn tunes and anthems.

Hans Sandigs heitere Tierliederfolge entstand fur seinen eigenen Kinderchor im ,,Radio DDR. Den Kindern werden in vergnuglichen Liedern unterstutzt von Schlagwerk und Blasern zahlreiche exotische Tiere vorgestellt. Richard Hambach erzahlt manche lustige Geschichte. Musikalisch richtet sich Sandig nach dem Kinderlied, streut aber auch Tanzmusikelemente ein. Vorfreude auf den Zoo kommt mit dem Auftrittslied. Als erstes Tier begegnet der Bar. Die Posaune und gehaltene Akkorde tiefer Blasinstrumente lassen ihn brummen. Allerlei merkwurdige Laute gibt der dicke Elefant von sich, durch Posaunen-Glissandi und durch die Trompete mit dem Wahwah-Dampfer. Der Chor lasst ihn grunzen, klappern, plarren, wiehern. Eine exotisch gefarbte, von monotonem Schlagwerk begleitete Melodie deutet den eintonigen Wustenzug des Kamels an. In einem lustigen Intermezzo wird ein Regenwurm betrachtet, der sich in das Schlangenhaus verirrt hat. Dann erscheint plotzlich die Feuerwehr. Der Tierarzt klettert die Leiter empor, um den langen Hals der Giraffe zu betrachten und eine Angina durch Biomalz zu kurieren. Mit der Melodie des Auftrittsliedes verlassen die Kinder den Zoo und nehmen sich vor, bald wieder hinzugehen.

Twelve choir and piano movements for the Christmas season: classics such as Jingle Bells and Silent Night, as well as unknown international Christmas carols. The individual arrangements can be used flexibly; they work in three-part mixed, but also in one or two voices, with piano accompaniment or a cappella. At the same time, the individual pieces are designed so differently that they are suitable for joint use in concert. With modern and popular harmony and varied rhythm, this Christmas collection is ideal for young choirs.

Written entirely in German.When Haydn stopped in Passau on his second journey to England, he heard a vocal version of his own orchestral work “The Seven Last Words.” It had been made by the Kapellmeister at Passau cathedral Joseph Friebert and Haydn was quite impressed – except: “I believe I could have done the voice parts better.” He acquired a copy and set about making his own vocal version, taking over most of the text. Haydn particularly liked his own vocal work and it was also enthusiastically received by his contemporaries. The study edition is based on the volume (HN 5822) published as part of the Complete Edition by the Joseph Haydn Institute in Cologne.
