Kyrie: SSA: Vocal Score

Kyrie in the original version was part of Fjellheim?s album called Biejjien vuelie - Solkvad. ?Biejjien vuelie? menas ?Yoik of the sun? in South Sámi language. 'Solkvad' (or 'Sólarjólb' in the original Norse language) is a poem included in the old Norse poem collection Den eldre Edda. The music on the album was inspired by both the Norse poems and the Sámi yoik tradition.The Sámi culture is mentioned on several places in the old Sagas and indicates that the society in the Nordic countries around year 1000 was indeed multi-cultural. The poems selected from the Norse literature had a certain sacred atmosphere; that is why they were combined with elements from theLatin Mass for the album.One fine example for this combination is Kyrie. The words ?Kyrie eleison? are used both in Latin and South Sámi language with the Sámi version having another rhythm and differently stressed syllables.

This short and easy setting of the Latin Mass will be a delightful addition to the repertoire of treble choirs in school and church. Lyrical vocal lines combine with accessible part-writing above a creative keyboard accompaniment.Movements include: Kyrie Sanctus Benedictus Agnus Dei. Total Duration: ca. 9:30.

Messe - for ligestemmigt kor (SSA) og orgel af Bendt Fabricius. Fra forordet: I 1980'erne var jeg organist i Mosede Kirke og jegvar så heldig her at have et dygtigt pigekor. DenneMesse for lige-stemmigt kor og orgel er komponerettil mine piger i Mosede.Messen tager sit tekstlige udgangspunkt i denromersk-katolske højmesse på latin med dens femfaste liturgiske led Kyrie Gloria Credo Sanctus ogAgnus Dei. Jeg har valgt i min messe at oversætteteksterne til dansk hvilketgør at værket bådeved indstudering og fremførelse får det speciellenærvær som en umiddelbar forståelse af en tekstaltid vil fremkalde. De fem satser kan opføres enten samlet eller hverfor sig. Satserne har forskellige sværhedsgrader således at Kyrie og Credo er de enkleste at udføre mens de tre øvrige satser stiller større krav bådehvad angår melodik rytmik og harmonik.En stor udfordring ved fremførelsen af messenvil være den obligate orgelstemme som udgør etkoncertant element i forhold til korstemmerne.Orgelstemmen er overordnet akkompagnerende men optræder af og til solistisk på en måde derudfordrer og kontrasterer korstemmerne.

The Nidaros Jazz Mass draws on a variety of jazz styles to present a fun and innovative setting of the Latin Missa brevis. With a gentle Kyrie funky Gloria ballad-like Sanctus laid-back Benedictus and passionate Agnus Dei this work breathes new life into familiar words perfectly combining the contemporary with the ancient. The stylistic piano part can be played as written or serve as a guide and an optional bass and drum kit part is available separately for jazz trio accompaniment. Ideal for all upper-voice choirs the Nidaros Jazz Mass will make a groovy and soulful addition to any concert programme.This work was commissioned by theNidaros Cathedral Girls' Choir of Trondheim Norway.

Franz Schubert was an Austrian composer who was extremely prolific during his lifetime despite dying at 31 his output consists of over six hundred secular Vocal works (mainly Lieder) seven complete symphonies sacred music operas incidental music and a large body of chamber and Piano music. Schubert is ranked among the greatest composers of the late Classical era and early Romantic era and is one of the most frequently performed composers of the early nineteenth century.Schubert composed his ‘Mass No. 2 in G major’ in less than a week (March 2 to 7 1815). Kyrie the second of the 6 movements is arranged here byWilliam Hermann for SSAA choir and Piano accompaniment. Performance time of this piece is approximately 3:10.

The chorus score contains no Piano reduction or solo parts - for full Vocal score (with Piano reduction) see BA7674-90. Today the ?Gloria? RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi?s best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred Vocal works from the Baroque period.Vivaldi wrote the ?Gloria? as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period at the Ospedale della Piet around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ?Gloria? Vivaldidisplays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements to tender transparently scored solo passages.The same mastery has also been applied to the ?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA 8950) scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a choral work without solo passages.Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward clearly presented and preserve the character of the works.- Attractive Choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass.- Vocal score as well as choral score available for the ?Gloria?.- Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

The ?Gloria? RV 589 is one of Vivaldi?s most popular compositions today and one of the most regularly performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque era. The work was in all probability composed around 1716 during Vivaldi?s time at the Ospedale della Piet an orphanage for girls in Venice. Although Vivaldi?s ?Gloria? (BA 8953) was written for solo voices and mixed choir it is likely that it was performed at the girls? orphanage with female voices only. Taking this into account Malcolm Bruno?s careful arrangement for choir SSAA is of some relevance. The work when set for female voices or children?s choir remains a true masterpiece.The ?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA8954)for two choirs and two string ensembles as arranged here for female choir displays its own charm. It can be performed together with the Gloria as a type of short mass.Both arrangements are based on the recently published Urtext editions of these works. The piano reductions by editor Malcolm Bruno are easy to play and preserve the character of the works.Effective arrangements for female choirForewords in English and GermanStraightforward idiomatic piano reductionsKyrie and Gloria can be combined for performanceThe orchestral parts for the original SATB version can be used for the performance of these arrangements.
