This work for soprano solo and SATB chorus was commissioned by the Norwich Festival of Contemporary Church Music.Tavener:'In the Orthodox Church the Lament of the Mother of God is normally sung on Holy and Great Friday. Inits full length it lasts about half and hour and it is intoned by the Priest or Bishop while the people venerate the Epitaphios (or Shroud of the Dead Christ) which is in the centre of the church and decorated withflowers.The Lament must be sung with an ikon-like stillness and great purity. It grows in intensity as it climbs in tessitura but without anything sudden or remotely melodramatic.For the Orthodox Church there is never thesense of absolute desolation felt by the Western Church on Good Friday. Hence the cry of the Mother of God 'Dost thou change my grief to gladness by thy Resurrection?' followed by the full forces: 'Rise O God and judge theearth.'Mother of God also features in the film Philomena starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan and directed by Stephen Frears.

Setting a popular text paraphrased from the Song of Solomon Rise up my love is an uplifting anthem ideal for Easter services although the text's beautiful springtime imagery would also make a lovely feature in any concert programme.The work contains expressive word painting with moments of intensity alongside phrases of utter stillness. There are opportunities for soloists and the flexible scoring allows choirs to decide whether to perform the piece unaccompanied with organ or with piano.This anthem will be included on a forthcoming CD by Selwyn College Cambridge (Regent Records).

Herbert Howells's Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis for the Gloucester service is one of his most popular choral settings. This sheet music is arranged for SATB Choir and Organ.Herbert Howells was a renowned English composer of church music in the Anglican evensong tradition, best known for his 'Hymnus Paradisi' and as a teacher at the Royal College of Music. His lesser-known evening canticles include this piece: with its famous treble duet opening the work, it calmly progresses to an affirmation of the glory of heaven through distinctive Lydian harmony and soaring highs. Each individual voice has its own part to play in this piece, with melodies that rise to uplifting highs and fall to booming lows, the combination of voices blends and binds to create a gliding and soaring unity of harmony. This Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis sheet music is the most accurate transcription available of an awe-inspiring piece that is acclaimed by fans of choral music for its beautiful composition and wondrous voicing. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orgue

Henryk Miko aj Górecki (1933-2010) was a Polish composer who at one point was the most popular living classical composer anywhere in the world. His 1972 work Euntes Ibant Et Flebant (Op. 32) is oneof more than 70 acknowledged compositions and his first religious work for a capella choir. Using text from Psalms 94 and 125 he creates a layered texture giving rise to an incredible spatial sound effect as if the prayers andsounds of a hymn-singing choir are rising and mixing together into the upper eaves of a great cathedral. First performed in 1975 by the National Philharmonic Choir of Warsaw this SATB chorus is an absolute gem that deserves to bebetter-known.
