Will Todd, born in 1970, is forging a strong reputation for himself as a composer who is equally at ease in opera, oratorio, church music and jazz. His style is instantly accessible and lastingly memorable. He spent his formative years steeped in both jazz and the English choral tradition so in his choral music he is able to juxtapose strong rhythmic drive and rich harmonies with exquisitely lyrical vocal lines.The composer writes of this piece: 'Angel Song II is inspired by the idea of angels singing on Christmas night. The music weaves a gentle melody over the aleatoric textures of the accompanying voices. The text is designed to create the echo of the word 'Hosanna', but with no consonants, so that the music feels as if it comes from 'on high'.' / Choeur SATB A Cappella

There are some songs that naturally warm both the heart and the vocal chords, and there is no better time of year than the holidays to sing them. Alfred introduces this book of songs guaranteed to bring Christmas joy to young and old alike. Christmas Song Essentials captures the essence of the season with the ultimate songs to celebrate Christmas. A total of 51 titles include classics like 'The First Noel,' 'O Little Town of Bethlehem,' and 'We Wish You a Merry Christmas,' and modern day favorites such as 'All I Want for Christmas Is You,' 'Grown-Up Christmas List,' and 'Let's Have an Old-Fashioned Christmas.' Celebrating the season with friends and loved ones has never been more fun than when set to the tune of these essential Christmas songs. All songs include lyrics, the melody, and chord changes with professionally arranged piano accompaniment. / Miscellaneous, Scores, Songbooks / Recueil / Piano, Voix, Guitare et Clavier

Chor zu dritt with its three-part settings is aimed at the large number of choirs which cannot do full justice to the mainly four-part choral literature with divoded male voices. In Vol. 5, O little Town of Bethlehem, the singers can look forward to many national and international Advent songs and Christmas carols - and to successful concerts in the Christmas season, even with only one male voice! / Choeur Mixte (SABar) A Cappella

There is no rose of such virtue is an anonymous mediaeval text, already well known through beautiful settings by Britten (in his Ceremony of Carols), John Joubert and others. The poem is 'macaronic' (it presents a verse in English, followed by a varying Latin refrain). This new version follows the illustrious examples above by remaining strophic and presenting broadly the same music in a succession of slightly different guises. The first verse is a straightforward four-part setting, the second gives the melody to the tenors and surrounds them with hushed, wordless writing for the other parts, and the third explores a freely canonic relationship between the tenor and soprano lines before carrying the previous verse-endings to a higher, more exalted pitch and mood. The fourth verse then expands its texture in a free climactic passage evoking the songs of praise sung by the angels. This subsides towards the final verse, where the texture of the music attenuates again to four parts, and canonic writing (based on the first four notes of the original melody) permeates all of them. This slightly extended statement leads to a hushed final cadence. Francis Pott (b. 1957) began musical life as a chorister at New College, Oxford. He held open music scholarships at Winchester College and at Magdalene College, Cambridge, where he studied composition with Robin Holloway and Hugh Wood while pursuing piano studies privately in London with the distinguished British artist, Hamish Milne. Throughout the 1990s Francis was John Bennett Lecturer in Music at St Hilda's College, Oxford, and a lay clerk in the Choir of Winchester Cathedral. In 2001 he became Head of London College of Music, University of West London, later leading research across the University's Faculty of Arts and acceding in 2007 to its first Chair in Composition. Francis Pott has become recognised particularly for his sacred choral and organ music. This has been performed in concert and on radio in over three dozen countries worldwide, published by four major UK houses and released extensively on CD. Winner of four national composition awards, in 1997 he received first prize in the piano solo section of the S. S. Prokofiev Composing Competition, Moscow. In 2006 and 2011 he was a nominated finalist in the BASCA/BBC Annual Composer Awards. In summer 2012 he was winner of the international composing competition of the Cheltenham Festival, which sought new piano variations on the arioso song Bist du bei mir, well known in the arrangement by J. S. Bach. Francis lives with his wife and two children on the outskirts of Winchester. An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers, the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs, including sacred and secular works from simple, four-part settings to more expansive, yet accessible, repertoire in an exciting variety of styles. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Apple Records was a noble experiment created in the spirit of the 1960s by four musicians who came to represent everything that was best about those tumultuous, experimental, and liberating times. The Beatles started out with the greatest of intentions, but reality soon got in the way. Much has been written about this period in the history of The Beatles' evolution and dissolution---some of it true, some of it wildly exaggerated, but not much of it first-hand. The Longest Cocktail Party is a rare exception. Written by Richard DiLello, who served as Apple Record's 'House Hippie' from 1968 to 1970, this unusual first-hand glimpse into The Beatles' empire humorously chronicles the stranger-than-life stories that were to become legendary, including visits by the Hell's Angels and endless tales of celebrity antics. Alfred Music is proud to offer this latest edition, which features a new and insightful foreword by the author. Originally published by Playboy Press in 1972, The Longest Cocktail Party has proven itself a timeless chronicle of this most colorful period in pop history. / Divers

The 1990s saw a long-running feud between Oasis and Blur as well as the rise of Britney Spears. It began with Sinead O'Connor taking time out from expressing opinions to remind us that she had an angelic voice with her cover of Prince's Nothing Compares 2 U . The 90s proved a vintage decade for Canadians with Alanis Morissette's hit album Jagged Little Pill, Bryan Adams' Everything I Do (I Do It For You) and Shania Twain's You're Still The One . Take That dominated the first six years of the decade, then Robbie Williams defected and had his own memorable hit with Angels . The Spice Girls came and went and Goodbye became their farewell song even though it pre-dated their breakup by two years. Live this exciting decade again with a selection of 29 songs, arranged for Piano, Voice and Guitar. / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG)
