Tonalité : C-Moll - Kv 427. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. The Mass in C minor, K. 427, Mozart's 'Great Mass' remaines a torso - a circumstance which is extremely regrettable, especially given the monumentality of this work. Mozart finished only the Kyrie, Gloria, Sanctus, 'Osanna', and Benedictus of the Mass. For two movements from the Credo he only completed sketches without instrumentation. In March 1785 Mozart arranged Kyrie and Gloria, supplemented by a tenor and a soprano aria, for the Italian oratorio 'Davide penitente'. In his arrangement of the Mass in c minor, Richard Maunder added Creed wind and brass instruments to the Credo sketches. Mozart's Missa in C for SATB.

In this version of Christmas Is Coming the traditional Chorus is intact but the composer has created his own verse tune and four-part harmony with humorous interpolations by the bass Voices.Walford Davies was a composer and musical director at the University of Wales as well as Organist at among others Temple Church in London where his student Leopold Stokowski (later one of the leading conductors of the 20th century) assisted him. Davies is best remembered for this work and for the march ‘RAF March Past’. Davies also did much to educate the public about serious music through radio programmes and his writings.

Tudor and Stuart monarchs reigned during a period of political and ecclesiastical turmoil out of which occurred profound developments in musical style.Tudor Anthems (the term loosely applied to cover the years 1520 to 1640) anthologises some of the finest English musical works of that era. It includes sacred works of various lengths and standards of difficulty for mixed voice choir accompanied and unaccompanied by an array of composers including Byrd Dering Gibbons Morley Mundy Parsons Philips Smith Taverner and Tomkins.A comprehensive collection and indispensable resource for any choir's library prepared in an easilyunderstood performing edition by Lionel Pike.'This is an excellent book. It offers variety the familiar and the less so all levels of difficulty and excellent value. Choirs who invest in a set could cover this aspect of their repertoire for years to come.'Andrew Gant (Choir & Organ - March/April 2011) 'A new Tudor anthem anthology will inevitably invite comparison with the popular Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems but Lionel Pike's collection largely avoids overlap with the OUP book and its contents certainly do not disappoint.' Matthew O'Donovan (Early Music Today - March/May 2011)'For many choirs and choral societies the Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems has been a standard source for this wonderful repertoire since it was first published in 1978. This new edition from Novello is now a serious competitor (why have we had to wait so long!). At almost the same price as the OUP volume and with 50 anthems (OUP had 34) this anthology is remarkable value for money. Before considering the contents it is worth mentioning its weight. My choir complains at holding the New Church Anthem Book and this is the same weight as the NCAB paperback (i.e. over a kilogram) and almost A4 in size. Lionel Pike
