As an acclaimed opera composer, Georges Bizet admitted that he had no real sensibility for sacred music. His Te Deum is nonetheless a truly fascinating and highly expressive work. From the majestic “Te Deum laudamusâ€, to the skillful choral fugue of “Fiat misericordia tuaâ€, and the opening's powerful recapitulation, the composition shows no trace of the difficulties that beset the young Bizet by his own admission before he finally completed the work in 1858.In the extensive trilingual preface to this Urtext edition, editor Marc Rigaudière illuminates the circumstances surrounding the composition of the Te Deum, a work which occupies a singular position in Bizet’s Å“uvre. The edition is based on the composer’s autograph score — the work's only surviving source. For the first time, this work is available with all performance parts.

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 2 octaves of handchimes. Level 2. A haunting opening verse on handchimes, accompanied by a singing bell drone and ethereal random malleting in the high bells, gives way to a more chordal verse of the well-known tune. A key change propels the piece forward before the motion once more slows and the piece closes as it began. A great choice for your church's ensemble!

From one of the UK's bright, emerging choral composers, Rhiannon Randle, is this sublime setting of the familiar Latin text. O nata lux is a personal reflection on the compelling and timeless choral atmosphere depicted by the famous Thomas Tallis setting of these words. Dedicated to the memory of Randle's late grandmother, the work balances a sense of intimate prayer and meditation with a spiritual declamation of the “light born of light.†To see hope and new life in despair and death - for in the darkness we have seena great light - chimes as much with the season of Advent as it does with personal loss. The lilting homophony of the opening is characterised by light tenuti, intended to provide a sense of gentle ebb and flow, almost as if to accentuate the natural emphases of speech. This then broadens into a polyphonic cascade, which hints at Bruckner as much as paying homage to Tallis's own setting. O nata lux is an exciting addition to the Contemporary Choral Series, suitable for intermediate to advanced choirs looking to support and program new music by outstanding young composers.

Larger choirs will rejoice in Mark’s festive orchestration for woodwinds, brass and percussion. Smaller choirs will love the smaller orchestration for 2 trumpets and handbells.

The celebration of Christmas gives each of us a yearly opportunity to relive and reflect on that first Christmas-the birth of our Savior and the promise of a new beginning as Christians. Through narration and song, this cantata contemplates the challenge to Mary (and us) to trust God and deepen our faith; to overcome our fears and rejoice in the birth of Jesus Christ as the shepherds did; and to offer gifts and to worship as did the Magi. While weaving familiar carols seemlessly into the fabric of the music, John Purifoy has provided his trademark original, tuneful approach to produce a Christmas service that leads us through the compelling Christmas story, celebrating a new birth and a new beginning for us all. Performance Time: approximately 35 minutes.
