Witness was first released in an a cappella setting for 8-part mixed voices and within months had sold over 30 000 copies. The following year it topped 50 000 and continued to climb. Today it remains a top seller and an industry standard. Veteran arranger Dick Bolks has masterfully revoiced and edited Mr. Halloran's setting into a solid SATB edition with optional accompaniment. Suddenly one of the best chorals from the 20th century is available to smaller sized choirs...and Mr. Halloran's integrity remains thoroughly intact. Thanks Dick. Available: SATB accompanied SATB divisi a cappella.

As one of the three canticles from the New Testament, the Magnificat - the Canticle of Mary - has at all times held a prominent position in church music. Telemann's setting of Luther's German translation of the text bears eloquent witness both to the composer's rich imagination and to his ability to mold a variety of musical shapes into a coherent formal Baroque architecture. Four solo movements with colorfully contrasting instrumentation are juxtaposed with four emphatically homogeneous choral movements; all of the latter are in 6/8 meter and in motet setting with instruments doubling colla parte. Particularly the choral movements are characterized by lively text portrayal and a wealth of at times dramatic imagery. A work of exceptional magnetism for both listeners and choir singers! Score and part available separately - see item CA.3912200.

Greater Than Anything consists of 11 songs which will be hits in concerts and church services, during workshops and on CDs. This collection generates the good message of the Gospel in a concentrated form in music and lyrics, touching and enthralling both the choir and the listeners. For the mixed choir in three to four parts (S.A.Bar./S.A.T.B.) and the soloists it means performing refreshing modern arrangements at a medium skill level. The piano accompaniment is written in an exemplary gospel style.

Remembered chiefly for his virginal music, this always fresh and charming composer - who was probably an instrument maker by trade - may well have penned these pieces simply for the enjoyment of his London friends living in the wards of Bishopsgate and Cripplegate. His experience as a keyboard player may have led him to some chromatic vocal writing, particularly in the admirable Construe my meaning, rivalling strangenesses in the work of his Italian contemporary, Gesualdo.

Some forty settings of the four Marian antiphons by Johann Michael Haydn are extant, among them 17 settings of the Salve Regina. The Salve Regina in B flat MH 90, here published for the first time, dates from about 1765, and it survives in a contemporary manuscript copy at Gottweig in Lower Austria. This early composition by Haydn already bears witness to this talent for setting a liturgical text to music. The dialogue between the bass soloist and the choir gives this work a radiance of its own. Score available separately - see item CA.5409000.

The Missa Gratias agimus tibi by Jan Dismas Zelenka was composed in 1730, a little before the Missa Sancti Josephi (Carus 27.082), and is thus already close to Zelenka's late style. As a festive mass, it is scored with trumpets and timpani, which, in the spirit of courtly splendour, are not silent even in the Kyrie. 17 mostly shorter movements, each with a very different character, bear witness to Zelenka's inventiveness and make the 30-minute mass an exciting experience. Score available separately - see item CA.4064400.
