This glorious collection of beautiful choral music by composer James Whitbourn includes fifteen short works drawn from his oeuvre from the first few years of the 21st century. Many of his greatest compositions areincluded in The Choral Collection with many of the pieces working perfectly for seasonal performances while also reflecting the many fruitful collaborations of Whitbourn's distinguished career. Allworks are arranged for SATB Choir. James Whitbourn has become renowned throughout the world for his acclaimed compositions and settings of numerous texts. He has been described as truly originaland an innovator of contemporary British choral music collaborating with people like Archbishop Desmond Tutu and the Choir of King's College Cambridge. The former appears here as A Prayer Of Desmond Tutu a setting ofone of the Archbishop's prayers. His arrangements and compositions for the King's College Choir have been universally critically acclaimed with A Great And Mighty Wonder Nunc Dimittis and Were You There?representing these hugely popular collaborations. Whitbourn has also had a very close relationship with the BBC since his beginnings as a composer working with them on three pieceswithin The Choral Collection. Eternal Rest and Give Us The Wings Of Faith were both composed specifically for television broadcast the former (in its orchestral form) was played for thefuneral of the Queen Mother in 2002. His longest work for which he is most famous is a setting of text from'the Diary of Anne Frank'. There Is No Speech Or Language comes from this work taking its text from othersources but that still maintain the beauty and tragedy of the wider piece. The Choral Collection of fifteen compositions by James Whitbourn is full of beautiful haunting

These wonderful songs are settings of texts from Shakespeare's The Tempest and A Midsummer Night's Dream. The three pieces were originally composed for The British Federation of Music Festivals National Competitive Festival June 1951. Scored for SSATB a cappella though this edition also includes a Piano reduction for rehearsal purposes.

Little Tree consists of three short choral settings of poems by E.E.Cummings with a total duration of around 6 minutes. The first song Little tree is in three voices(SSA); the next movement I carry your heartwith me progresses into four voices; the final song now is a ship opens briefly with two solo voices but ends in 6 vocal parts. Accompanying all three pieces is a simple marimba part which acts as a continuoinstrument. In the opening movement it simply doubles the lowest vocal part; in the later pieces it provides a simple basis for the choral harmony. Judith Weir's wonderful vocal score for SSA and Marimba accompaniment. Idealfor children and female voiced choirs.

The Study score of Henryk Gorecki's Three Pieces In Old Style for String Orchestra.

Peter Dickinson's Celebration Trio (2009) for Clarinet Violin and Piano.The trio comprises of three pieces - Fugue Lullaby and Dance.'These three pieces derive froma story by the British poet John Heath-Stubbs (1918-2006) called The Unicorns. Two unicorns are discovered ina remote part of Africa. The two countries Eastland and Westland want to obtain specimens for research sothey send out competing expeditions. The Westland technique is to lure the unicorn with a young girl singing - the Lullaby. The Eastland team uses a dancer so that theunicorn impales itself on a tree the Dance. Both teams are successfulin capturing a unicorn but the mythical animals fall in love and escape happily together in the end.In the story the Fugue celebrates the eventual capture of the unicorns but it is placed first here as a celebration of the remarkable career of the Verdehr Trio. Since theybegan in 1972 they have commissioned over 230 works have performed all over the world and made recordings. Asa result they have virtually created the repertoire forthe medium of violin clarinet and piano. I much enjoyed writing my American Trio(Hymns Rags and Blues) for the Trio in 1985; they played it all over the world andhave recorded it; and this Celebration Triois a tribute to their musicianship andphenomenal enterprise' - Peter Dickinson.
