Das Repertoire der Frauenchore mit geistlichen Liedern hat sich in den letzten Jahren stark erweitert. Neben der altbewahrten Literatur sind heute nicht nur zeitgemasse Texte mit rhythmischen Melodien und interessanten Harmoniewendungen gefragt, sondern auch Spirituals und Gospels in englischer Sprache. Dieser Wunsch wurde in dieser Notenausgabe unter der Mithilfe von Komponisten, Textern und Bearbeitern berucksichtigt. Da die Schopfung Musik seit Jahrtausenden darauf angelegt ist sich immer weiter zu entwickeln, sollten auch die Frauenchore neuen musikalischen Stromungen gegenuber offen sein und dabei das Bewahrte nicht aus dem Ohr verlieren. Dieser Band will bewusst vielseitig, also farbenfroh sein und beinhaltet die Stilarten: Klassische Werke aus der Barockzeit bis zur Romantik, neue Lieder mit raditionellen Satztechniken, modernes Liedgut in deutscher Sprache mit stark rhythmischen Akzenten sowie Gospels und Spirituals mit Akkordverbindungen aus dem Jazzbereich.Viele Lieder sind a cappella singbar. Aber ein Trend setzt sich weiterhin seit Jahren fort: Das instrumentalbegleitete Frauenchorlied. Aus diesem Grunde wurde diese Sammlung als Chorausgabe (Chorpartitur) und als Partiturausgabe (mit Chorsatzen, Akkordsymbolen und ausgeschriebener Begleitung fur Tasteninstrumente und Soloinstrumente) herausgebracht.

Men delssohn described his 1840 work “Lobgesang†as “a symphony for chorus and orchestraâ€. It is now firmly established in the standard repertoire of the major oratorio choirs. For many choirs, Lobgesang remains on their wishlist of works they want to sing. But what can be done if the choir is to small, the budget is limited, and the performance space is tight?Here, the experienced arranger and orchestral musician Joachim Linckelmann offers an excellent tried-and-tested solution. In his arrangement for soloists, chorus, and chamber orchestra, he has reduced the wind instruments from the original 17 to just 7 single instruments. The string parts remain largely identical to the original, but can also be played by smaller numbers. And the vocal parts (soloists and choir) remain unaltered in this arrangement, so that they can be sung from the piano reductions and choral scores of the Carus Urtext edition.•,M ajor work which can now be performed by smaller choirs•,Wind and brass parts of the original version reduced to seven single instruments•,Vo cal scores and choral scores from the original version can be used•,carus plus: the work (original version) is available in carus music, the Choir Coach, and in the Carus Choir Coach series (audio only). Score available separately - see item CA.4007600.

ISBN 9781491161203. UPC: 680160919789. Key: Bb major. English. Siegfried Sasson.
Everyone suddenly burst out singing; And I was filled with such delight As prisoned birds must find in freedom... These opening lines to Everyone Sang by the British war poet Siegfried Sassoon feel as relevant today as they did when the poem was first published in 1919. It was after the end of World War I and these words capture so much of the collective exhilaration, relief, and pure joy about the Great War finally coming to an end. And yet Sassoon himself felt none of that when he wrote this poem. In his own words, he was feeling dull-minded and depressed. Perhaps his time in the trenches was still too recent. One of the reasons the creative arts are so powerful is that a poet like Sassoon (or a painter like Van Gogh or a composer like Mahler) can take their own feelings of deep sadness or pain and transform them into something beautiful, even uplifting. Everyone Sang is a celebration of the promise that things can get better, that there are things worth looking forward to. The poem itself has so much rhythm and musicality. The appearance of suddenly in the first line of each verse gives those verses a rush of energy. Attention to the crescendo in measure 7, and again in measure 37, from mf to f will help the listener experience that rush. There are expressive opportunities with so many of the poet's bold choices of action words - burst, winging, and shaken. Then there's alliteration - a poetic device that can be overdone, but Sassoon strikes a wonderful balance. Suddenly/singing (measures 6-7 and 10-11) Find/freedom (measure 21-22) Winging/wildly (measure 23) Setting/sun (measures 47-49) Was/wordless (measures 65-75) Give these alliterations just a hint of emphasis (without overdoing) to bring out the natural rhythm of the text. And just as O is set apart in the poem by punctuation, I wanted the musical setting - in measure 57 - to honor that feeling of wonder - ...O, but Everyone Was a bird; and the song was wordless; the singing will Never be done. Friends, there is so much good ahead, so much to be excited about. May the singing never be done.Everyone suddenly burst out singingAnd I was filled with such delightAs prisoned birds must find in freedom…These opening lines to Everyone Sang by the British war poet Siegfried Sassoon feel as relevant today as they did when the poem was first published in 1919.

Also from the new Travis Ryan CD from Integrity Music, Until My Voice Is Gone is another of those songs that, once you start, you just don’t want to stop singing. The lyric expresses our compelling desire to bring Him praise at all times, at any cost, and to sing it out “Until My Voice is Goneâ€! Together, we can sing that we will raise our hands until our strength has faded, stand in honor until our knees give way, lift our voices and shout grateful songs…to sing…sing until our voice is gone! Dynamic and powerful SATB arrangement and orchestration by Daniel Semsen.
