Lyrical voices float over a Bach-inspired piano accompaniment in this beautiful setting built on five common Latin words. Three independent melodies are introduced one at a time and eventually layered to create artful polyphony that is easily achieved. Cue-sized notes in the SAB/3-Part Mixed provide options for changing voices, and the treble arrangement can be sung in either two or three parts. An ideal vehicle for improving vocal production and building musicianship.

Rheinberger's Mass in A Major is a work that ist easy to perform. Making no use of polyphonic developments, it remains within a harmonic style that is lightened by brief imitative phases. The organ accompaniment serves as a tonal support and expands the three-part writing into four parts. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5012600.

This jubilant song of exaltation is designed to make mixed and changing meters intuitive, familiar, easy. Organized in 3 + 2 + 2, the dance-like main theme is quickly mastered. A small number of familiar Latin words and some English text combine into an exuberant concert/contest selection. Listen for the glorious soprano descant, optional trumpet fanfare, and rhythmic timpani part that add majesty, while anchoring the meter.

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about charity and love. As you've come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder---with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don't miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.
