This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece the music evolves from the initial ?angels'song ? their journey to heaven and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work.

Beethoven's first major choral work the oratorio Christus Am Oelberge (The Mount Of Olives) was written in early 1803. The work is not performed as a whole very often in modern times but this final chorus called the Chorus Of Angels has been published separately many times and has rivaled even Handel's Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah in popularity over the years. This edition edited by Walter Collins includes both German and English text the pitch level and rhythmic values are original. This choral masterwork allows a mature chorus to really shine!

Nico Muhly's Looking Up for SATB and Orchestra. Programme note:Looking Up is a piece for large chorus and orchestra and is in three sections played without pause. In the 16th century a variety of psalters in meter were printed in England with the idea of making psalm-singing something that could happen easily at home with the rhyming meter being an aid to memorization. These translations are wonderful exercises in brevity and sometimes clumsy rhymemaking and were usually prefaced by a lengthy explanation as to their merits; the title of one of the first such volumes in English is: The Psalter of Dauid newely translated into Englysh metre in such sortthat it maye the more decently and wyth more delyte of the mynde be reade and songe of al men. I thought it would be appropriate to set one of these introductions and the first section of Looking Up sets the preface to Thomas Ravenscroft’s psalter (1621) in which he writes: “The singing of Psalmes (as say the Doctors) comforteth the sorrowfull pacifieth the angry strengtheneth the weake humbleth the proud gladdeth the humble stirres up the slow reconcileth enemies lifteth up the heart to heavenly things and uniteth the Creature to his Creator.” It begins meditatively but eventually grows agitated and fervent with a vision of the “quire of Angels and Saints” “redoubling and descanting” — an ecstatic and terrifying vision of the skies opening up. Ravenscroft then encourages the use of instrumental music for worship at which point a long acrobatic orchestral interlude with jagged edges antagonizes the choir who sing a kind of private anxious meditation on two pitches. One of the most delicious biblical texts is an Apocryphal prayer known as the Benedicite or the Prayer of the Three Children (the same who were rescued by an angel after King Nebuchadnezzar tried to have them burnt in an oven for not bowing to his image). The text is repetitive obsessive and a gift to composers

This is the Full Score for composer Patrick Hawes' beautiful work The Angel Of Mons featuring all six movements. This work is arranged for solo Soprano SATB Chorus Harp and Strings and was composed in memory of the British soldiers who supposedly witnessed an apparition of an angel during World War I. The premiere of The Angel Of Mons was on 23rd August 2014 in St Michael and All Angels Church Edenham Lincolnshire and conducted by Patrick Hawes himself on the exact centenary of the apparition of the angel. The inspiration comes from a mythical story around the Battle of Monsduring World War One where a group of soldiers supposedly received divine help from 'angels'. The story arose from a fictional short story by a writer that came to be known as fact despite the author's desperate pleas otherwise. The work lasts approximately 25 minutes and therefore would make for a hugely enjoyable concert especially a World War I memorial concert.  The Vocal Score can also be purchased separately  here.
