Par HOWELLS HERBERT. Herbert Howells composed his Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis evening canticles for St Paul's Cathedral in 1951, going on to become among his most famous and enduring works. These beautiful canticles were composed by a master of setting the Anglican liturgy, and are arranged for SATB Chorus and Organ Accompaniment. These two wonderful works of choral music are characterised by a unique blend of unison harmonies and disparate melodies that highlight each voice perfectly. The lingering notes, crescendos and subtle dynamic changes were composed with the acoustics of that great cathedral in mind, but they also work equally well in any setting. / Niveau : Intermédiaire à Avancé / Répertoire / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orgue

Les bonnes raisons ne manquaient pas pour m'encourager à composer un concerto pour trombone basse et Orchestre d'Harmonie. Cette composition concrétise, en premier lieu, l'amitié fraternelle qui me lie au tromboniste basse Ben van Dijk depuis trente-cinq ans, et coïncide avec mes trente ans de carrière de musicien professionnel (1er mai 2007). D'autre part, j'ai souhaité apporter ma contribution au répertoire solo pour trombone basse, bien pauvre en oeuvres lyriques qui exploitent pleinement les capacités mélodiques et musicales de l'instrument. Enfin, ce concerto est un hommage à Piet van Dijk (1920-2003), le père de Ben, qui fut un musicien dans l'âme et un être extraordinaire. En tant que professeur de trombone et d'euphonium, il a joué un rôle essentiel dans ma carrière future de musicien et je lui en serai toujours reconnaissant. Un festival ambitieux autour du trombone offrait le cadre idéal pour la création de mon oeuvre : le festival Slide Factory 2007 organisé à Rotterdam par les membres du New Trombone Collective, ambassadeurs idéaux pour la littérature contemporaine pour le trombone. La création de Canticles (Cantiques) fut une expérience enthousiasmante, enrichie par l'étroite collaboration avec Ben van Dijk. D'ailleurs, je tiens à le remercier chaleureusement pour ses excellentes suggestions, son savoir-faire et sa passion. Je suis convaincu que cette pièce trouvera sa place dans les salles de concert ! Canticles est une oeuvre de commande pour le Fonds des Compositeurs néerlandais 'Fonds voor de Scheppende Toonkunst? (Fonds pour la création musicale) à la demande du New Trombone Collective. La première mondiale a eu lieu le 6 mai 2007 à l'église St. Laurens à Rotterdam dans le cadre du festival Slide Factory 2007. Ben van Dijk, trombone basse, était accompagné par la Musique Militaire Royale Navale des Pays-Bas placée sous la direction d'Ivan Meylemans. ' / Johan de Meij, Amsterdam, mai 2007. La réduction pour Trombone basse et Piano a été réalisée par le compositeur lui-même. / Trombone Et Piano / 36 pages / niveau : Moyenne Force / Partition

Bob Chilcott's Canticles Of Light for children's choir mixed choir and Orchestra or Tubular Bells and Organ.A dark and beautiful yet also extremely approachable work in three movements. The first two are darker in character: evening hymns that ask for protection and comfort through the night. The music lightens for the final hymn a song for the morning that looks forward to a new beginning.

Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis-Bob Chilcott's Three Choirs Service (Magnificat And Nunc Dimittis) for SATB and Organ.Commissioned by the 2015 Three Choirs Festival this is Chilcott's second setting of the Evening Canticles. Bright and rhythmical the Magnificat features syncopated chords in the Organ part that punctuate the more sustained choral textures. In contrast the Nunc dimittis is reflective opening with a soaring soprano melody and building towards an expressive climax on the word 'glory'. Ideal for church and cathedral choirs looking for something new for their evening service.
