Born in Glasgow Hugh Roberton became a funeral director apart from being a conductor and composer. A highly motivated and self-taught choir-master he founded the Toynbee Musical Association in 1901 and five years later this became the Glasgow Orpheus Choir which gained a world-wide reputation and went on to perform under Roberton's direction for some 45 years. He composed much for his choir with perhaps his most famous pieces being 'All In The April Evening' and the 'Mingulay Boat Song'. He had a reputation for getting the very best from his singers who held him in such great esteem that when he resigned as their leader shortly beforehis death the choir agreed that they must disband. However the Orpheus rose again when many of its members re-formed as the Glasgow Phoenix Choir which continues to perform and tour to this day. Hugh Roberton was knighted in 1931. This version of 'All In The April Evening' originally published under the catalogue number 61427 for unaccompanied mixed voice Choir of Sopranos Altos and men is now in a clearer newly typeset edition. Other versions are available for solo voice unison voices female voice choir male voice choir full mixed voice choir (SATB) with Welsh words and also in an arrangement for string Orchestra and a 'meditation' for Organ. Duration: nearly 3 minutes.

Composer's Note: I first made an arrangement of this famous plainchant melody (‘Hail Star of the Sea’) for a school choir to sing on tour in St Mark’s Venice; fourteen years later I decided to come back to it as an equally apt choice for Orkney’s great medieval cathedral. A little like Monteverdi’s setting in his 1610 Vespers the six verses alternate between choral presentations of the plainchant and moresoloistic verse sections with static organ interludes representing the distant clarity of the Star of the Sea which is the North Star Polaris.

Handel’s Messiah is among the most beloved of all classical music and certainly the most familiar of all classical Christmas music. Composer Ernest Read made this arrangement of the Chorus And The Glory of the Lord for Voices SSA with Piano or Organ. The Hallelujah Chorus is regularly excerpted and performed as a separate work. This Chorus could work equally well in a carol concert or worship setting.
