Inspired by the traditional Sami 'yoik,? a very old vocal tradition among the Sami people of Scandinavia and Russia, this beautiful music was used in the Disney animated film Frozen. Now available in several voicings, all choirs can now enjoy these works that are infused with style and ethnic authenticity that will bring a wonderful and unique sound to your choral concert. / Choeur SA Et Piano

Swing Low, Sweet Chariot started life as a spiritual – it was one of the many religious songs sung by slaves on the cotton plantations in the Southern states of America over a century ago. There has been much speculation as to why it has been adopted by England rugby supporters but it seems that the association is here to stay. This rousing sporting anthem would make an ideal encore for any concert program. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Singles series, offering a selection of beautifully crafted arrangements in a diversity of musical styles. From Broadway, pop and folk to spirituals, gospel and original works, the series is arranged for 3-part choir (soprano, alto and a combined male-voice part) providing flexibility for any choir. Complete with straight-forward piano accompaniments supporting the vocal lines, the Faber Choral Singles series guarantees the perfect repertoire for every occasion – so get exploring and get singing! / Choral Music / Répertoire / Choeur SAB et Piano

from Songs of Peace-This song is the second movement of Todd’s ‘Songs of Peace’ written in memory of the composer’s mother Iris Todd who died in 2012. The text (by the composer: ‘A gift so pure life so precious gifted to me’) is intentionally ambiguous suggesting both the gift of the Christ child and less specific gift of life. This work could therefore be used as a Christmas carol as well as more generally. The first verse with voices singing in unison presents a contemplative and memorable melody over characteristic jazz-inspired harmonies in the Piano (or Organ) accompaniment. This melody is then beautifullyinterwoven with a counter-melody as the voices split into two parts for the second verse.“Precious Moment” is featured on Tenebrae’s album ‘Lux et Veritas’.
