Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Avec un texte de révélations, cet oratorio est une vision musicale génial de la chute de Babylone et les nouveaux cieux et la terre - apocalyptique, à incandescence et d'une intensité unique dans toute production du compositeur. Son personnel favori parmi toutes ses oeuvres chorales, il encore packs un puissant coup de poing aujourd'hui./ Répertoire / Chorale

Ed. Marte. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Vivaldi's classic work, arranged for Solo Voices, mixed chorus and orchestra. Edited by Mason Martens. Lost soon after the composer's death, little if anything was known of this spectacular choral setting until it's rediscovery in 1920, with the first modern performance finally happening in the autumn of 1939. Since then the work has become a proven favourite with choral societies, choirs and gala performances across the world.

Par TEMPERLEY N.. Both a dedicated carol singer and an authority on the history of English music, Nicholas Temperley here offers a unique book of 37 carols dating from the fifteenth century to the present. For over fifty years he has sung, edited and composed carols each Christmas, and in Christmas is Coming the fruit of his enthusiasm is combined with his wealth of knowledge to produce an outstanding and original new collection. As John Rutter observes in his Foreword, the book does not pointlessly duplicate what can be found in many other carol books, but has a personality and purpose of its own. Twenty-two fresh and practical arrangements include carols from Austria, France, Germany, Mexico, Poland and the USA, alongside music both rare and familiar from the rich heritage of the English carol tradition. As well as eight of his personal favourites, from J. S. Bach to Charles Ives, the author includes seven new compositions of his own, settings of medieval and traditional texts that reveal his skill as a choral composer whose command of style ranges from the humorous to the profound. In addition to sample programmes and translations, there are invaluable notes on the performance and history of individual items, plus an historical summary of the genre as a whole: everything in fact to make Christmas is Coming an indispensable companion for singers who wish to enrich the seasonal repertoire for concerts, churches and traditional Yuletide carolling./ Recueil / Chorale

Par CHARPENTIER MARC-ANTOINE. Through the well-known first theme of its opening Prelude , Charpentier's spectacular Te Deum has become the best-known of all French baroque grands motets.

Par RAMSEY ROBERT. Edited by Edward Thompson The contents of this volume include both liturgical and domestic music. The 'Commencement Song', Inclina Domine, was an exercise for the composer’s Mus. B degree. The Te Deum settings and a setting of the Litany were probably written for use in the chapel of Peterhouse, Cambridge, a centre of high church observance at the time./ Recueil / Chorale

Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Haydn's delightful Missa Brevis in F was both one of his earliest and latest works: he originally scored it for soloists, choir and strings, and returned to it at the end of his life to add wind parts.
