Par GILL JOANNA. This work is a reflective setting of a popular blessing used regularly in both church services and within choral concerts. Scored for unaccompanied mixed choir, the four parts are often divided to create an eight-part texture. The main melodic interest is carried in the soprano line over a supporting line of six parts provided by the lower voices. Within this short setting a variety of beautiful shifting choral combinations are used: sopranos and tenors against altos and basses, sopranos against altos, tenors and basses and finally alto and tenor lines which lead into the concluding six-part texture ending on a radiant E major chord spread over three octaves. Within these voice combinations we hear a choral texture which spans just the interval of a perfect fifth to the concluding three octave final chord, creating a wide palette of choral sound in a short space of time. Joanna herself says the following about this work: I wrote “The Lord’s Blessing” in 2018. That year, I had been on tour to New York with the London Symphony Chorus and we got the privilege to spend a day with the Westminster Choir College. At the end of the day they sang a blessing over us and I thought it was such a beautiful moment. So as soon as I got home I wrote a short blessing that I imagined would be sung at the end of a concert as a blessing over the audience. I dedicate it to the LSC./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB a Cappella

This short benediction set to familiar words from Corinthians Thessalonians and the first book of Peter is an enduring favourite. Informally known as the Navy blessing or the Scottish blessing the words are sensitivelyenhanced by Shaw’s tune and harmonies and can create an inspiring meditative finale.Composer conductor and producer Martin Shaw was of the Holst and Vaughan Williams generation of composers that was key in reviving publicinterest in the work of Purcell and was also a co-founder of the Royal School of Church Music. He once toured Europe as conductor to dancer Isadora Duncan and was briefly engaged to the daughter of theatrical star Ellen Terry.His works number more than three hundred published pieces.

Bless the Lord is a set of three cheerful and merry movements which form Andrew Carter's superb choral work Benedicite. Jolly tunes with jovial lyrics that are ideally suited to children and children’s choirs. For Unison Children's voices with Piano accompaniment or Bassoon and Strings.

An arrangement of this classic anthem for upper voices ideal for youth and children's choirs that are able to sing in three parts. Alternatively known as Deep Peace the gentle nature of both the words and melody have made this piece a firm favourite at christenings weddings and funerals.

For Valentine's Day spring or anytime “Reflections of the Heart” is a wonderful musical triptych of love. Each of the three pieces could easily stand on its own or the entire trio may be performed as one work.“Blessings” is a sprightly madrigal-style wish for the good health and happiness of a beloved. “Impressions” is a beautiful memory of the moment when hands first touched. “One Perfect Treasure”is an expression of true love and contentment. A must for your library!

These time-honoured words so suitable for the musical adornment of a service of marriage or blessing receive a new and very moving encounter with music through the inspiration of Benjamin Woodgates. His five-part a cappella setting is in a simple three-part form rightly illustrating the tempestuous waters that cannot quench love in a more strenuous middle section. The overall impression however is of the stillness and solemnity of a special moment of ceremony by definition unique and unrepeatable which will nonetheless be renewed in spirit with every performance of this glowing and rapturous setting.
