For SATB unaccompanied.Let nothing trouble you is a striking and atmospheric setting of a prayer by the Spanish mystic St Teresa of Ávila. This work is both comforting and meditative reflecting the mood of the text and the music adds a beautifully haunting quality through the use of a murmuring two-note motif widely arching melodies and reflective imitation. Commissioned by The Genesis Foundation for Harry Christophers and The Sixteen this piece has been recorded by them on the disc 'O Guiding Night' (COR16090).

Par FREEMAN ALEX. Alex Freeman?s Under the arching heavens: A Requiem (2018) was commissioned by Nils Schweckendiek and the Helsinki Chamber Choir to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1918 Finnish civil war. Structured around the Latin liturgy of the mass for the dead, the work has a duration of more than an hour and also incorporates poems in Finnish, Swedish and English, reflecting both the specific reason for the commission and the universality of human suffering caused by war. In the non-liturgical texts chosen by Freeman, birds are a recurring image, as is that of a mother and child. The work ends with lines by Walt Whitman from a poem written in the aftermath of the American Civil War; lines described by the composer as ?some of the most comforting poetry in the English language.? Also included on the disc is A Wilderness of Sea, another recent choral piece which draws on works by Shakespeare, and the poet?s images of the sea, and of mankind?s relationship with it.

ING. / All. partition vocale. Pour son Oratorio de Mendelssohn fait une sélection discret de la vie mouvementée de Saint-Paul, comme il est relaté dans les actes des apôtres. L'histoire commence avec la lapidation de Steven St. par les Juifs et continue par le biais de sa conversion miraculeuse de la scène en Lystre, où Paul lui-même est presque martyrisé par lapidation, et ses adieux à Milet. Pratiquement aucun Oratorio de la romantique, pourrait correspondre à St. Paul en popularité. Seulement ans plus tard était-il dépassé en public esteem Elijah de mon Mendlessohn. Dans les deux premières années suivant sa première représentation eut lieu dans plus d'une cinquantaine de villes allemandes, dans nombreuses capitales européennes et aux Etats-Unis. / Travaux Pour Choeurs
