Morton Gould's Hosanna Amen from 'Quotations' for Double Chorus of Mixed Voices and Wind Orchestra. Piano reduction.This work was commissioned by L. Anthony Fisher for the New York Choral Society Robert DeComier conductor and first performed by them on January 28 1983 at Carnegie Hall.The composer after thinking over the possible approaches to a choral work found the ide of platitudes common sayings and poetic referenmces challanging and stimulating. As 'Quotations' evolved he found that these sayings evoked nostalgic momories of his own childhood in Richmond Hill New York where he was reared on such aphorisms as 'theearly bird catches the worm ' 'a stitch in time saves nine ' 'a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.'After setting the scene in Richmond Hill the piece begins with Hallelujah Amen the common shout for joy and closing whisper of all religions. An antiphonal series of platitudes follows and then moves to more complex secular litanies the 'ballads ' or stories of young love and old age and the precariousness of life which have been told and retold through the ages. In the last movement the religious litany resumes with 'ashes to ashes dust to dust' echoing the earlier prosaic motif 'here today gone tomorrow ' or as Gould finally writes 'time's up!'

The Vineyard praise chorus Hosanna has been adapted into a compelling arrangement for choir and optional brass by top arranger Lloyd Larson. An ideal anthem for Palm Sunday this powerful setting will heighten your worship experience. Performance Time: Approx. 2:45.Available separately: SATB.

Others are arrangements, adaptations or longer pieces, abridged to bring them into the scope of a useable anthem, including choral arrangements of Handel's Largo , the Ave Marias by Schubert and by Bach and Gounod, and Franck's Panis Angelicus amongst many others. This collection has practicability as a priority. The Organ parts can be played on either the Piano or the Keyboard.

Written in 1899 for the Cambridge Degree of Doctor of Music and prepared by Alan Tongue from the composer's manuscript, A Cambridge Mass is the largest work written by Ralph Vaughan Williams before A Sea Symphony of 1909, and amongst his most ambitious. The opening Credo is set for SATB soloists, double chorus and orchestra on the broadest and most dramatic scale. The Offertorium that follows is for orchestra only, in lyrical sonata form. These two contrasting movements are balanced by a third part: a solemn Sanctus for double Chorus, Brass, Timpani and Organ, and a choral-orchestral Hosanna which returns da capo after a serene Benedictus for soloists, wind and strings, to crown the work with a jubilant fugal conclusion./ Recueil / Solistes (SATB), 2 Choeurs Mixtes et Orchestre
