Recital Music has developed a large exciting and eclectic catalogue of Christmas music for choirs in recent years. Some works are published for the first time others are in new editions and we aim to provide accessible and enjoyable choral music for choirs of all ages and abilities. Enjoy!Shout for the King! is a joyous and vibrant carol for junior choir and piano. It's Latin-American influence has proved popular with choirs and audiences alike and a double bass and percussion can easily be added for extra energy and atmosphere.Chord symbols are included for optional double bass or guitar accompaniment.The composer writes: 'Shout forthe King! was composed one evening in December 2004. At the time I was training as a Primary School teaching assistant and involved in playing the piano for the school's various Christmas musical events and concerts. It was the first time I had written both lyrics and music which both came to me at the same time. I subsequently taught the song to the children in the days which followed which they loved and it was the first time a 'real' composer had written anything for them. A week later it was premiered at the school carol concert with me playing the piano.I have always wanted to write a new and catchy Christmas carol drawing influences from all the familiar ones we know and love every Christmas. I also wanted the melody of the verses and chorus to be catchy and repetitive and would be easy and enjoyable for junior choirs to learn. I have always had a fondness for Latin-American rhythms hence the happy groove which I think add to the appeal!'Born in Cardiff in 1975 and trained in piano and flute at school Jay Mackie studied composition as an undergraduate at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama from 1997-2000 and completed an MMus gaining a distinction in Composition in 2004.At college Jayson received three scholarship prizes for composing where his Wind Quintet was a featured work at the ISCM's World Music Days

Another fantastic collection of songs by Peter Warlock set for 2 and 3-part Upper Voices with Piano accompaniment. Warlock was a treasure of British song-writing he composed and arranged a good deal of Choral music during his lifetime though little was originally conceived for ladies’ choirs. These six songs were completed between 1918 and 1928 a period in which parlour piano was out of fashion due to the technologies that were being introduced yet there was demand for part-songs and this was an opening for Warlock who re-wrote earlier solos. Magical and poetic Warlock has a way with words phrasing and melody and these songs are sure to delightsingers players and audiences.

La plupart des arias de cette collection font partie du répertoire standard de solistes de renom, et c'est vraiment grâce à eux que les opéras auxquels ils appartiennent sont devenus célèbres.

Dans Coro Mio Ben, Gwyn Arch a créé de nouveaux arrangements d'oeuvres et ces plus de Haendel, Mozart, Verdi et d'autres compositeurs, et donc ouvert ce genre musical à un public entièrement nouveau. Les accompagnements de piano sont largement tournée vers les originaux. Comprend 2 CD avec 18 enregistrements complets chorales et 10 pistes d'accompagnement de piano. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)
