This is the Vocal Score for British composer Harry Escott's O Viridissima Virga which explores a fresh take on the Christmas story by delving into women's poetry from the late 19th and early 20thcenturies arranged for SATB. The first performance of O Viridissima Virga took place on the 5th December 2010 at St. Bride's Church in London performed by the choir of St. Bride's.Lasting around 25 minutes the texts on which the composition is based are those written by females around the turn of the 20th century presenting an innovative and fascinating approach to the periods of Advent and Nativity witha constant undercurrent of foreboding that backgrounds even the most beautiful parts of the piece's melody. The poems are frames by two settings of hymns to the Virgin Mary written by a 12th century BenedictineAbbess.  Composer Harry Escott has studied at Oxford University and the Royal College of Music and is primarily known as a composer of film scores. He has written for criticallyacclaimed films such as Hard Candy Deep Water Shame and Welcome to the Punch.

Lully, Lullay was written at the request of Philip Reed, music director of the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir, which gave the first performance on 17 December 2011 at Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, Suffolk. Inspired by the familiar medieval text of the Coventry Carol , it is sung a cappella and invokes the sense of a lullaby through its metre and lilting melody. The fragility and bittersweet tonality of the opening verse is reflected in the continuous interaction between the tonic and dominant keys and resolving dissonances. This develops into broader passages of increased range and dynamics during the second and third verses, where the melody is passed between the upper and lower voices, clearly invoking the poignancy of the text. The last verse returns to the original theme with subtle harmonic changes and a reflective final cadence. An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers, the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs, including sacred and secular works from simple, four-part settings to more expansive, yet accessible, repertoire in an exciting variety of styles. Harriet Wybor was born in Leeds in 1986 and read music as an undergraduate at Durham University, followed by an M.A. in composition with Martyn Harry and António Pinho Vargas. Harriet's main compositional interests are sacred and secular contemporary choral and chamber music, and the relationship between music and time. Her work reflects a wide range of influences from renaissance choral music and medieval texts to 20th-century literature and art. Harriet has had works performed by the Northern Sinfonia (conducted by H K Gruber), Psappha, the Allegri String Quartet, St John's College Choir, Durham, the Bury St Edmunds Bach Choir and the Fishburn Band - broadcast on BBC Radio 2's Listen to the Band . After graduating from Durham University, Harriet continued her studies at the University of Edinburgh, where she read for an LL.M. in innovation, technology and the law. She has subsequently pursued a career in music publishing where she works in copyright and composes in her spare time. / Choeur SATB

(Tenebrae version)-Stay with me Lord was originally commissioned by the Genesis Foundation as one of three commissioned settings of Padre Pio’s Prayer after Communion and first performed in June 2008 at Westminster Cathedral London by The Sixteen conducted by Harry Christophers. This version was arranged for the 2012 album The Call of Wisdom an album of a selection of Will Todd’s choral music performed by Tenebrae and The English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Nigel Short. It alters much of the way the work is accompanied both by the piano but also by adding an alternative strings and harp scoring (full score and parts available on download). Todd’s stirring harmonies which make fulluse of the mixed-voice choir with only the very occasional need for divisi and ability to write the most beautiful melodies has resulted in this work proving very popular with choirs of a range of abilities.
