This cycle of three psalms captures key ritual moments in the Jewish life cycle. Birth, marriage and death are the powerful milestones that frame our existence. Composed by Bruce L. Ruben, Director of the Debbie Friedman School of Sacred Music at Hebrew Union College and arranged by Broadway composer and arranger Larry Hochman, this setting of the Psalms for SATB choir, solo, piano, clarinet, violin and cello works equally well in worship or concert. Mvt. 1) Baruch Haba (Psalm 118)- Mvt. 2) Adonai Maon (Psalm 90)- Mvt. 3) Ivdu Adonai (Psalm 100). / Choeur Mixte (SATB), Clarinette Et Piano

Kantate Zum 23. Sonntag Nach Trinitatis, Bwv 139, 1724. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's chorale cantata with its opening text 'Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott recht kindlich kann verlassen” (Tis well with him who on the Lord trusts just like a child) BWV 139 was performed for the first time on 12 November 1724 in the main Leipzig church service. The cantata text, based on the hymn of the same name by Johann Christoph Rube (1665-1746), is in praise of trust in God. In the opening chorus, full of depth of feeling, the hymn melody is heard throughout - this is followed by a lively tenor aria 'Gott ist mein Freund” (God is my friend) with a musical depiction of the adversary raging in vain, and in the bass aria 'Das Unglück schlägt auf allen Seiten” (Misfortune assails me on every side) Bach presents both drama and Baroque imagery. One of the two solo violin parts for the tenor aria is lost, so our edition offers a reconstruction. The virtuoso violin part of the bass aria was evidently based on a part for violoncello piccolo, now lost. The edition provides for performance by violin or violoncello./ Répertoire / Chœur Mixte et Piano

Words of praise from Isaiah form the basis of this Celtic-flavored celebration. Positive and upbeat, this song is pure joy from start to finish! Add the optional violin, mandolin (or guitar), and string bass for an extra special moment. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Par VIVALDI / BLANCHARD. As one of the great Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi 's (1678-1741) compositions remain hugely popular to this day. His motets, including Motetti A Canto Solo Con Stromenti continue to be popular, large-scale performance works. Vivaldi is best remembered for his Four Seasons and for his Violin concertos. However, his motets number to over 60. The second volume of Motetti A Canto Solo Con Stromenti contains the last three movements of the work. For all aspiring solo vocalists of the Baroque genre, Vivaldi 's Motetti A Canto Solo ConStromenti cannot be missed./ Répertoire / SATB

Par SCHULTZ DONNA GARTMAN. La mélodie utilisée dans ce cadre est entièrement nouveau, mais il est quelque peu qui rappelle un vieux air écossais. La violin obligato souligne le caractère très poignant de paroles de Robert Burns./ Feuillet / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Violon

Par LACHNER FRANZ. Among his compositions, Franz Lachner, the long-serving Music Director of the Court of Munich and Director of the Royal Choir, left behind a considerable number of sacred works, including two settings of the Stabat Mater. The first Stabat Mater, op. 154, from 1856 was strictly for a vocal ensemble; the second, op. 168, from 1870 (see p. 5) included strings and organ, in which the darker timbre was achieved through the absence of the violins. In its harmonic expression the second composition is especially oriented towards the, at that time, modern style of the North German School centred around Liszt and Wagner, but without ever exceeding a moderate degree of technicaldifficulty in the voice parts./ Répertoire / Choeur SATB/SATB
