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.

A Christmas Garland is a wonderful cantata for Mezzo-Soprano Soli SSA Chorus and Strings. This edition has a Piano reduction of the original String parts.

Valmuevejen for Choir SSAA Soprano Saxophone and Strings was composed by Anders Koppel in 2006. Text by the composer. Commissioned by the Danish Radio.

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!

Within much of her work Judith Weir has tried to portray the sky stars and planets in her music and the Moon and Star follows the same path. This work based on poetry by Emily Dickinson uses the text to actas a philisophical motto to the music itself choral voices are used a source of textual richness and produce wide harmonic paragraphs.The orchestra is used to display musical height and distance with a mix of triple woodwind 4 trumpets and high violins. The composition is 15 minutes long. Work for SSAATTBB Choir and Orchestra. Commissioned by the BBC Promenade Concerts and premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra and BBC Singers in August 1995.

Henry Purcell's From Those Serene Rapturous Joys for SSCtTB soli SATB chorus Continuo and Strings. Duration: Approximately 23 minutes.

Par DVORAK ANTONIN. Antonin Dvorák?s impressive Stabat Mater for soloists, chorus and orchestra is probably the best-known of the composer?s sacred works. Some painful experiences in 1875 his first daughter died, and in 1877 he lost two other children in quick succession may have led to Dvorák?s preoccupation with the suffering of the Mother of God, who stands weeping beneath the cross of her son. The music enters into the different moods of the liturgical texts with great sensitivity. Nine movements in slow to moderate tempi serve as a kind of Passion meditation, before the ecstasy of a vision of the resurrection wins the upper hand at the end of the tenth movement. With our newly-publishedarrangement for chamber orchestra (flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, bassoon, timpani, and strings), smaller choirs now have the opportunity of performing this work without the choir being drowned out by a large-scale symphony orchestra. The symphonic character of the work is nevertheless preserved. This scoring offers an optimal balance between transparency and orchestral sound. All vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are identical with the original version. Vocal score and choral score can be used also together with the original version, which is in preparation. / Date parution : 2023-06-02/ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB et Piano
