Par KANDER JOHN / BEALE CHARLES (Arr.). Chicago! is perhaps the greatest and bestloved creation of writing team John Kander and Fred Ebb. In We both reached for the gun, Roxie is accused of killing her violent lover and Flynn’s argument is that they both ‘reached for the gun’ at the same time – Roxie had no choice but to kill him, or she would have died. In the staging, Roxie is portrayed as Billy’s mechanical puppet, which is why the music has a certain mechanical, even clockwork quality to it. This is a patter song, full of long streams of words, so take care not to go too fast.

One of the best musical moments (and there were many) in the hit movie O Brother Where Art Thou was the mass baptism scene when all the congregants sang “Let's go down to the water to pray...” with thatincredible southern harmony. Pepper Choplin has taken that wonderful spiritual and set it for SATB a cappella voices. A few additional lyrics have been added providing an extra verse but the style and simplicity of the originalhas been maintained. “Down to the Water to Pray” is an excellent choice for services of baptism or general use...inspiring and fun to sing.

1. Choir 2. Choir Organ-Version of 1736 (final version)Bach???s St. Matthew Passion passed through several stages in its progress towards its final form stages that today cannot be completely reconstructed. It may be taken as certain that the work was performed on Good Friday 1729 in St. Thomas???s Church Leipzig in a version of which the copy made by Bach???s son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnickol gives us an approximate idea. There is no earlier extant autograph score than that of the later version which may probably be dated 1736 and on which the present edition is based.- Study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm- Urtext of the New Bach Edition-Full score performance material (BA5038) vocal score (BA5038-90) and study score (TP196) available for sale
