The writing of a Requiem is a special challenge for any composer. The great Requiems of the past by composers such as Mozart Verdi and Berlioz interpret the sacred Requiem text literally offering prayers of salvation for the departed whose souls are assumed to be in purgatory facing a terrible judgement. Eternal Light: A Requiem by the award-winning British composer and internationally acclaimed broadcaster Howard Goodall is a stunning new requiem for the modern day. In contrast it is intended to provide solace to the grieving reflecting on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them withpoems in English. Speaking about the work Howard Goodall said 'For me a modern Requiem is one that acknowledges the unbearable loss and emptiness that accompanies the death of loved ones a loss that is not easily ameliorated with platitudes about the joy awaiting us in the afterlife. This like Brahms’ is a Requiem for the living addressing their suffering and endurance a Requiem focussing on the consequences of interrupted lives.” This piece of sheet music was commissioned by London Musici (Artistic Director: Mark Stephenson) to celebrate its 20th anniversary. It was commissioned as both a choral-orchestral-dance piece for London Musici The Choir of Christ Church Cathedral Oxford and Rambert Dance Company (Artistic Director: Mark Baldwin) and as a choral-orchestral work.

Par ARMAN HOWARD. Howard Arman, director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions of his choir in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du fröhliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du fröhliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus . The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It?s a Birthday and Wasn?t That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain?t That a Rockin? gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte a Cappella
