Who does not know the song Guantanamera? Dating back to a tune of the Cuban musical style Guajira and a text by the national hero Jose Marti, it was used by Jose Fernandez Diaz in the 30s as a refrain to improvise on current day topics. Pete Seeger reopened the Marti original in 1963 at a concert in New York's Carnegie Hall - it became a hymn to the American trade union movement. The song has since been sung in countless versions, right up to the Rudi Voller battle song, which echoed in 2002 in the football stadiums. This issue gives you the opportunity to play the world hit with piano trio - have fun!

An honest statement about the journey of faith is at the heart of this sacred ballad. Leaning on the promises of God's grace, the text and tune move with gently rhythmic elegance. The chorus in full SATB voicing is an impassioned acknowledgement of God's sovereignty and a commitment to surrendering to His divine will. A sturdy piano underpinning supports the refrain with strong convicting chords before give way to a devotional, quiet conclusion. A paean of prayer!

Praise the Lord from the Heavens. Composed by Richard Proulx. Choral. Choral. Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. GIA Publications #7283. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-7283).

UPC: 785147728306. English, Latin. Text Source: Psalm 148, adapt. RP. Text by Richard Proulx. Scripture: Psalm 148.

Richard Proulx, who in recent years has given us more wonderful arrangements than original pieces, here breaks the pattern with a setting of Psalm 148. And, it is classic Proulx! The sturdy macaronic refrain for choir and assembly, leads to lilting triple meter verses for soprano then tenor, a choral verse in duple rhythm, and a return to the triple feel of the earlier, for the final verse utilizing both soloists and choir. Typically, the organ part is something organists will enjoy playing.

Composed by Rory Cooney. Christmastide. Sacred. Collection. GIA Publications #8864. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-8864).

UPC: 785147886433. English.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expres- sions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.” It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina R ossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloria”— based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on High”—employs the text from the 2010 R evised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies. Contents: Friends in Christ, Rejoice, My Soul Gives Glory, The Advent Herald, Sing We Maranatha, In the Bleak Midwinter, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Still, Still, Still, In the Stillness of the Night, Christmas Gloria, Psalm 96: Christmas Midnight, Song at the Manger, Carol of the Stranger, Lullaby, Little One, Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, I Saw Three Ships, Light in the Darkness.

Rainer Maria Rilke gives the well-known Orpheus myth a surprising turn: when Orpheus turns around, Eurydike does not recognise him (any more). In his piano piece composed as a compulsory piece for the Bremen Piano Competition 2009, Wilfried Hiller portrays this dramatic situation vividly and powerfully.

Bachs works were definitely new once again in the mid 19th century, and particularly for Leipzig concert audiences. In fact, Anselm Hartinger even wonders what was old in Bachs music back then... Given the way that it was presented, we can say that this music was at least partly an invention of the time of Mendelssohn, Schumann and Hauptmann, and was adapted to musical practice by its discoverers for their purposes, which were absolutely modern back then. To bolster these provocative theses, the author bases himself on a wealth of previously mostly unexamined material from the years 1829 to 1852, the core period of the Bach revival performances. Hartinger chooses an investigative approach that supplies the first link between Bach-related reception research and local music-historical writing, which leads us to amazing insights. The Leipzig Bach-Archivs Reception Series is unquestionably treading on exciting new musicological terrain in this book.
