Composed by Marcel Dupre, Laudate is the last of the Four Motets. Written for a mixed SATB and two organs, the lyrics are in Latin and the volume includes all the scores: female soprano and alto, male tenor and bass and the two organ scores. The piece is introduced by the two organs and the male voices are the first to start singing (tenor, followed quickly by the bass). The full SATB then sings together, sometimes alternated by the organs and the organ parts include an outstanding toccata. Laudate is an amazing way to finish this series with a triumphant and glorious celebration of God. The organ scores require some upper intermediate skills, with the knowledge of pedals and the vocal parts, quite demanding, evolve in polyphony and polyrhythm. Marcel Dupre is a French composer and virtuoso organist who won the Prix de Rome in 1914. He became famous when he played the works of Bach in its totality from memory in 1920. He later became the professor of many renowned students at the Paris Conservatoire such as Olivier Messiaen, Jean Langlais and Pierre Cochereau amongst others.

The preparation was like putting together an exciting puzzle: Rudolf Ewerhart had to piece together the parts (printed in Venice in 1620) from various libraries. Since the continuo almost always follows the lowest vocal part, it is also possible to perform the four motets a cappella.

The fourth volume of Johann Adam Hiller's editions of motets and arias continues where the previous volumes left off, with further motets by Graun, Hiller, Homilius and Rolle. Once again the motets of Theodor Christlieb Reinhold are represented. Reinhold was Kantor at the Dresden Kreuzkirche during the time Bach was Thomaskantor in Leipzig. This volume concludes with four senstive choral arias by the early Bach admirer Christian Friedrich Penzel after psalm texts which appeared at that time as poetic translations by Johann Andreas Cramer.

The compositions of Guillaume Bouzignac (ca. 1587 to sometime after 1643) were important for the development of French sacred music before the time of Jean-Baptiste Lully. Nonetheless his work, surrounded by mystery, has survived in only four manuscripts containing only eleven motets which are ascribed by name to Bouzignac. The present edition contains four a cappella motets for the Christmas season. These are sacred stories, brief scenes, in which the soprano voice sings in dialog with the other voices of the choir.

Heinrich von Herzogenberg's interest in the motet form based on a cantus firmus can be traced back to the middle years of his tenure in Leipzig (1875-1885). For three of the four chorale motets (Nos. 1, 3, 4) he chose hymns which were also known as traditional melodies outside a liturgical context and, in two cases (Nos. 3 and 4), were sung by both faiths. Each of the four chorale motets are concerned with suffering and death. With regard to the size of the choir, Herzogenberg envisioned a large mixed choir. Therefore, larger choirs can also sing the motets a cappella.

With over six hundred songs ( Lieder.) to his name, Franz Schubert was one fo the most prolific and gifted composers of the genre who ever lived. His wonderful sense of beautiful melody pervades much of his music--symphonic, stage and opera, choral, chamber, and piano solos and duets. A devout Catholic and former Vienna Boys Choir singer, he composed six Latin settings of the Mass as well as settings of the Salve Regina, Tantum Ergo., and numerous other works. Schubert's Antiphons for Palm Sunday., Opus 113, are a set of four easy liturgical motets for a cappella .choir. A singable English translation is provided with the original Latin. The four Gregorian chant compositions for the same Sunday are also provided in Latin and English. Hosanna Filio David .is sung for the blessing of the palms. The responsory In Monte Oliveti .can be sung between the Epistle reading and the Gospel, followed by Pueri Hebraeorum .for the distribution of the palms and Cum Angelis. for the procession of the palms.--Dr. William Tortolano.

The collection consists of four chorale motets and three works in which the texts are set section by section. The division in two books (DV 7929/30) reflects their orientation on the church year.

The fact that Pascal Martine is a real expert in the field of sacred choral music shows once again in the 'Three Motets' for mixed a-cappella choir (SATB) by the Mainz-based composer and (choir) teacher. The three sacred motets on verses by the English bishop and hymn writer Reginald Heber (1783-1826) are characterized by a very individual dense and atmospheric musical language. Thus, they musically dwell on the contemplative character of the three English-language poems perfectly which is typical especially of the two prayers 'Evening Hymn' and 'O most merciful'. The four-part songs are mainly homophonic and perfect for church services.

The final part from 1791 took on a new direction, as was reflected in the formulation of the title: Four-part Latin and German choral settings for use by choirs in churches and schools. The first part, or the motet collection, part VI, from Johann Adam Hiller, Ducal Music Director of Kurland, Cantor of St. Thomas School and Music Director of both of the main churches in Leipzig. (additional parts were not published). The volume precedes a foreword, in which Hiller relates why he composed and published the present pieces. Of special interest is the great amount of information about church music and liturgical practice of this time, which he in part could shape, but in the face of whose traditions he also sometimes felt powerless. So this foreword belongs among the most important documents on the living practice of Protestant church music in the last years of the 18th century.

The arrangements in this collection represent 80 percent of Duruflé's entire a cappella oeuvre, with three from the four Quatre Motets sur des thèmes grégoriens Op. 10 (1960) alongside Notre Père Op. 14 (1977/1978). The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for “sound†to create the portmanteau word “sound together†or “harmony.†The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.
