Victor C. Johnson's jubilant setting of the traditional Latin text is ideal for developing choirs. The rousing mixed-meter introduction lays the groundwork for a syncopated presentation of the main theme that melts into a reverent middle section. A gradual crescendo and accelerando lead us back to the driving A section. Thrilling!

A gentle piano accompaniment with oboe accompanies this concert work for 2-part and 3-part mixed voices. Sara Teasdale's text of a cloud “in the heaven's height, the stars are lit for my delight” is a delightful metaphor for children to sing and explore both textually and musically. Johnson's setting uses a lovely melody with simple harmonies and slight divisi for young singers.

The text speaks of discipleship and would be a great choice for events focusing on social justice, for a commissioning/sending anthem, or even as part of a healing and reconciliation service. The question of the final phrase (“Shall we now refuse God's call?â€) is reflected in the unsteadiness of the musical line, which seems to say, “It's up to each of us to do our part.â€.

From a simple, joyful Gospel Acclamation based on the tune LAMBILLOTTE (Alleluia, Song of the Spirit) comes this full Mass setting where all the sung portions are based on that tune. While featuring a driving, rhythmic piano part, there is also an alternate accompaniment with more intentional melodic support that is suitable for organ. Optional instrumental parts are intended for trumpet and flute but may be played by any combination of C or B-flat treble instruments. With the joyful exuberance of the tune at its core, this Mass setting is especially well-suited to Easter and Ordinary Time.

A dancing opening motive in Latin, harmonized in sturdy open fifths and punctuated by handclaps, yields to a slower, contrasting English language section. A gradual crescendo and brief accelerando builds the energy back up to a triumphant return of the opening material. Strong dynamic contrasts and ample rhythmic interest offer a thoroughly satisfying musical experience.

With its three-part settings for mixed choir, the Chor zu dritt series is aimed at the large number of choirs which cannot do fulljustice to the mainly four-part choral literature with its division in high and deep male voices.Complementing Vol. 5, O little Townof Bethlehem, the choir expert Wilfried Fischer continues his successful series with Christmas music in Vol. 6, Machet die Tore weit. Baroque cantata settings and motets for the Christmas season by renowned composers like Bach and Telemann were arranged for three-part choir, some with accompaniment. These arrangements enable choirs with a small number of male voices to sing even large-scale works in Christmas concerts. Content J.S. Bach: Gloria in excelsis Deo J.S. Bach: Vom Himmel hoch, da komm ich her Bach: Freut euch, liebe Christen all G.F. Handel: Halleluja G.P. Telemann; Wie schon leuchtet der Morgenstern G.P. Telemann: Ehre sei Gott in der Hohe D.
