Five choral songs. Par SCHONHERR CHRISTOPH. Since his earliest childhood, Christoph Schönherr has been fascinated by all things nautical. His cycle Von Schiffen, Meer und Wind (Of Ships, Sea and Wind) brings together verses by different poets that explore the sea in its various guises. The work's selected poems describe the vast ocean that can fill us with a deep sense of tranquility, but can also bring mortal danger with its storms and destructive waves. Boats, and especially sailing ships, are often associated with freedom, a sense of weightlessness, and security. But if we are caught in a storm at sea, we suddenly find ourselves at the mercy of nature. We are made painfully aware of our own insignificance in the greater scheme of things.According to the composer and passionate sailor: ?In the five choral songs I attempt to characterize the atmosphere of the texts and the emotions they contain. My experiences at sea, for example in storms or when simply contemplating the motionless water, guided me in my search for a suitable means of musical expression.? / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / SSAA

Le 'Gloria' RV 589 est l'un des compositions les plus populaires de Vivaldi aujourd'hui et l'un des plus régulièrement effectué des oeuvres vocales sacrées de l'époque baroque. Le travail était, selon toute probabilité, composé autour de 1716 pendant le temps de Vivaldi à l'Ospedale della Pietà, un orphelinat pour filles à Venise.Bien que Vivaldi 'Gloria' (BA 8953) a été écrit pour voix solistes et choeur mixte, il est probable qu'il a été effectuée à l'orphelinat des filles avec des voix féminines seulement. Prenant cela en compte, arrangement soigneux Malcolm Bruno pour choeur SSAA revêt une certaine pertinence. Le travail, lorsqu'il est réglé pour les voix féminines ou choeur d'enfants, demeure un véritable chef-d'oeuvre.Le 'Kyrie' RV 587 (BA 8954) pour deux choeurs et deux ensembles à cordes, comme prévu ici pour choeur de femmes, affiche son propre charme. Elle peut être réalisée en collaboration avec le Gloria comme un type de masse court.Les deux régimes sont fondés sur les éditions Urtext récemment publiés de ces oeuvres. Les réductions pour piano de Malcolm éditeur de Bruno sont faciles à jouer et à préserver le caractère des oeuvres.- Des dispositions efficaces pour choeur de femmes- Avant-propos en anglais et en allemand- Simple, les réductions pour piano idiomatiques- Kyrie et le Gloria peuvent être combinés pour des performancesLes parties orchestrales pour la version originale SATB peut être utilisé pour l'exécution de ces dispositions. / Ssaa

A Spotless Rose by Welsh composer Paul Mealor arranged for unaccompanied SSAA divisi chorus. The sublime harmonies of this piece were released on the album 'A Tender Light' that also featured his piece composed for the Royal Wedding. The moving melodies and dramatic dynamics of the vocal parts in A Spotless Rose create a subtle solemnity in the wash of the beautiful soprano and alto parts. Featuring a Piano part for rehearsal only the unaccompanied soaring of the choir will make a truly lasting impression on any audience. In the September 2015 issue of the Organists' Review DavidLindley writes that this piece 'encompasses a wide dynamic range and some high tessitura for sopranos as the music celebrates 'Mary purest maid' contrasting with the slow-moving chordal setting of the rest of the text.'
