A new engraving of Thomas Attwood's delightful miniature, Come Holy Ghost , this piece is suitable for Whitsundtide or for general use. Thomas Attwood (1765-1838) is perhaps best known as the composer of such charming miniatures as Come, Holy Ghost , which is in essence a simple, threeverse hymn. Its elegant melody, first sung by soprano, then by a chorus (or quartet and chorus) is reminiscent of Mozart's delicate masterpiece, Ave verum corpus . This is perhaps unsurprising -Attwood took composition lessons from Mozart in Vienna, and one of his contemporaries quotes Mozart as saying: 'He partakes more of my style than any scholar I ever had - and I predict, that he will prove a sound musician.' Attwood worked closely with the royal family throughout his life. He taught music to the Prince of Wales, was appointed composer and eventually organist to the Chapel Royal, and organist at St Paul's Cathedral (he is buried under the organ there). He wrote the anthem I was glad for the coronation of King George IV. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orgue

Paperback-Thomas Attwood Walmisley's setting of Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis in B flat for SSAATTBB Choir and Organ.Organist of Trinity College St John's College and Professor of Music at Cambridge simultaneously Walmisley is known today for his Evening Canticles in D minor and a handful of anthems.This fine double Choir setting was written some ten years before the D minor set and is published to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the composer's birth. There are fewer contrasts of texture than in the later setting but the two choirs are used to great effect with the Gloria starting with striding imitation between Soprano and Tenor(later Alto and Bass) over a pedal point in the Organ.

Ce célèbre chant de Noël anglo-saxon (dont la mélodie est également connue sous le nom d?Humility) a été composé en 1771 par John Goss (1800-1880) sur un texte d?Edward Caswall (1841-1878). John Goss est né à Fareham dans le Comté du Hampshire en Angleterre. En 1811 il est admis comme choriste à la Chapelle Royale où il étudie auprès de John Stafford Smith et de Thomas Attwood organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul de Londres. En 1824 il est nommé organiste à l?église Saint-Luc de Chelsea. À la mort de Thomas Attwood en 1838 John Goss lui succède comme organiste à la cathédrale Saint-Paul. Il compose de nombreux motets et odes pour divers services religieuxexceptionnels célébrés en la cathédrale. En 1872 il quitte son poste à Saint-Paul et est fait chevalier par la reine Victoria. Parallèlement à ses fonctions d?organiste à l?église Saint-Luc et à la cathédrale Saint-Paul John Goss a enseigné l?harmonie à l?Académie Royale de Musique de Londres pendant quarante-sept ans. Parmi ses nombreuses odes encore chantées on peut citer Infant Holy Infant Lowly Praise My Soul et See Amid the Winter's Snow.

The Novello Book of Classic Anthems brings together some of the finest sacred choruses ever written. The collection includes miniature gems including Edward Elgar’s Ave verum corpus Henry Purcell’s Thou knowest Lord the secrets of our hearts and Thomas Attwood’s Come Holy Ghost and established choral favourites such as Handel’s Hallelujah Chorus Henry Balfour Gardiner’s Evening Hymn and Samuel Sebastian Wesley’s Blessed be the God and Father. It also covers a number of dramatic extended anthems suitable for both church choirs and choral societies such as Edward Naylor’s Vox dicentis: clama John Stainer’s I saw the Lord and Wesley’s Ascribe unto the Lord and twentieth-century classics such as William Harris’s Bring us O Lord God Patrick Hadley’s My beloved spake and Edgar Bainton’s And I saw a new heaven. All the pieces have been re-engraved and some such as Haydn’s The heavens are telling and Brahms’s How lovely are thy dwellings have newly arranged accompaniments specifically designed for the Organ. This collection of nineteen anthems covers a wide range of moods and festivals and offers a delightful concert programme in itself as well as an essential addition to any choir’s library.
