Henry Purcell (1659-1695) held numerous appointments at the Royal Court and Westminster Abbey and is considered by many to be the greatest ever English-born composer. His prolific work covered all fields: orchestral ecclesiastical operatic theatrical incidental and chamber music were all enriched by his output. Written in 1683 Welcome To All The Pleasure (Z339) is the first of the three Odes that Purcell wrote for St Cecilia's Day. It was commissioned by the London Music Society for their first festival and sets a poem by Christopher Fishburn. It is scored for SATB Chorus; Alto Tenor and Bass soloists; and Strings.

In 1717 Telemann composed his cantata 'Gott der Hoffnung erfülle euch? for the first day of Whitsun based on a text by Erdmann Neumeister. It forms part of the 'Concerten-Jahrgang?, also known as 'Das Harmonische Zion? or 'Italienischer Jahrgang? where all the cantatas are conceived as concertos for vocal and instrumental parts and have been colourfully scored. This particular work includes two oboes, two Corni da Caccia and strings. Vocal soloists, choir and instruments alternate and have equal musical standing in this festive Whitsun cantata which provides a valuable addition to the church service or concert repertoire. - Urtext edition based on 'Georg Philipp Telemann, Musical Works?- Cantata for the first day of Whitsun- Ideal for church services and concerts- An attractive addition to the repertoire with a view to the 250th anniversary of Telemann's death (2017) / Violon I

Bach composed his oratorio for the Feast of the Ascension in Leipzig in 1735. Though this work has the duration of a cantata, the choice of text places it among the oratorios. It combines the biblical account of the Ascension with chorales and free madrigal poems.As in other works which were composed during this same year (e.g. the 'Christmas Oratorio?), Bach reveals a special fondness for colourful orchestration, with two flutes, two oboes, three trumpets, timpani and strings, creating a splendid Baroque sound with a strikingly festive character.This edition is based on the thoroughly researched musical text from the 'New Bach Edition?.- Lavishly scored oratorio of a festive nature- Based on the 'New Bach Edition?- Bilingual foreword by Andreas Glöckner (Ger/Eng) / Voix

This new edition of Gabriel Fauré's Requiem presents the work in a chamber edition for the first time. Edited and arranged by David Hill for Violin Cello Harp and Organ this score is compatible with the Novello vocal score of the same work and all other major editions. It aims to convey the original chamber-music qualities of Fauré's original scoring and will enhance performances with keyboard reductions at minimal cost. It will be of great use to chamber and church choirs without the budget or space to perform this understated masterpiece with full orchestra yet who wish to convey the rich colours and textures ofFauré's most famous work. Gabriel Faure: Requiem is scored for Violin Cello Harp Organ and SATB voices (for SATB separate parts not included). In order to perform the work choir members would require NOV072304. 'Here is a visionary publication that will solve many problems. Most important this edition will work with existing versions even down to rehearsal marks.' - Andrew Fletcher Organists' Review

Thierry Escaich : Night's birds - sur des textes de John Dowland Ch'urs à 4 voix mixtes et/ou piano/orgue et ensemble - Ch'urs mixtes Auteur : John Dowland Night's Birds, pour choeur et violoncelle, prend son inspiration dans deux chansons de John Dowland : Flow my tears et Can she excuse my wrongs, mais c'est avant tout l'atmosphère sombre et désespérée du premier poème qui guide l'évolution formelle de l''uvre. A plusieurs reprises, la rythmique plus légère, ternaire et syncopée de la seconde chanson (évoquant ce monde des passions et des luttes encore possibles) tente de s'imposer comme une sorte de souvenir à peine déformé de la version initiale de Dowland, mais à chaque fois c'est pour mieux retomber dans l'univers glaçant et sans espoir de Flow my tears, son lyrisme noir obsessionnel et ses enchevêtrements de lignes descendantes souvent chromatiques. Seule la fin laisse apparaître une sorte de sérénité mêlée d'abandon comme un chant venu d'au-delà des enfers. Le style polyphonique rappelle alors celui de la Renaissance anglaise et une musique plus diatonique conclut la pièce, à peine teintée de bribes éparses du climat précédent. Le violoncelle, après avoir été souvent intégré au discours vocal, ou avoir rivalisé avec les voix dans l'aspect déclamatoire (tel un double choeur) ou encore après avoir servi de base rythmique à l'ensemble, clôt la pièce par un chant éthéré et lent, comme une lueur dans ce nocturne tourmenté. Commande de Vocello. Création du 17 août 2016, durant le Festival du Périgord Noir à Saint-Léon-sur-Vézère, par Henri DEMARQUETTE (violoncelle) et l'Ensemble Sequenza 9.3 sous la direction de Catherine SIMONPIETRI.

This song is an inspired reminder of God's faithfulness. Tender and fragile, the theme opens with innocence and clarity, articulating the seasons of life and the constancy of the Almighty. Though composed in a singer-songwriter idiom, the choral parts are deep and satisfying, bringing warmth and sincerity. A reference to Psalm 119 is crowned with the affirmation, I choose to live in faith, not fear. Truly a song for this season of challenges! NOTE: Full Performance and Part Dominant MP3's are for the SATB voicing only.

A beloved hymn is gracefully arranged and offered as an affirmation of God's faithfulness. This immortal melody rises like a prayer, carrying the hope of eternity and His merciful watch care over our lives. A beautiful piano part and well-crafted choral writing make this an indispensable anthem for choirs of any size. The appearance of the final stanza of Amazing Grace is an inspired moment!

Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). John Kander and Fred Ebb created a number of 20th-century show classics, including Cabaret and Kiss of the spider woman, but Chicago! is perhaps their greatest and best-loved show of them all. Mama Moreton sings When you’re good to Mama to indicate to the prison inmates how the world really works. She is deeply cynical, knows the ways of the world and controls the purse strings of the prison, but she also turns out to be compassionate – a mother figure to the other inmates. This song requires sassy singing and good communication skills; to convey the double meanings, use careful timing, facial expression and, for the more daring, staging too! This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3 part choirs (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing! / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Mixtes et Piano
