Zart und filigran wirken die feinen Melismen des vertonten Liebesgedichtes, die sich uber herbe und archaisch anmutende Klange erheben. Sie entfuhren Horer und Sanger in die schroffe Landschaft Schottlands, der Heimat des Dichters.

Georg Kreisler equals scathing, dark black humour on the piano!
The Singphoniker have arranged Georg Kreisler's best known songs for all-male ensemble and recorded them on CD. Schott now publishes the corresponding music edition for mixed choir SATB with piano accompaniment. The topics range from the poisoning of pigeons to the love of a wonderful woman .to a tribute to the triangle. These pleasant arrangements for mixed choir SATB and piano with Kreisler's humorous texts most certainly create an exuberant atmosphere in the concert.
All pieces contained in this volume are also available in separate editions.

Latin.

During his time as Master of the Queen's Music, Sir Peter Maxwell Davies wrote a new carol for Her Majesty the Queen each Christmas. Ave, Plena Gracia , written for Christmas 2009, was the fifth in this series after An Heavenly Song, Wonder Tidings, The Yule-tide Bell and Kings and Shepherds all of which are published in the Schott Royal Collection.

First performed in St. James's Palace by the choir of the Chapel Royal on the Epiphany at the end of the 2009/2010 Christmas period, Ave, Plena Gracia is a short and traditional Latin setting that would be perfect for amateur choirs looking for new repertoire.
