Op. 147 - Harmony Parts-Diabelliâ??s church music has unjustly largely fallen into oblivion. In his 'Pastoral Mass in F' the Austrian composer of the Biedermeier period succeeded in achieving a balance between artistic aspirations and a form suitable for practical performance. With a duration of about 30 minutes the work is of easy to medium difficulty and is therefore extremely suitable for amateur choirs with orchestra. The 'Pastoral Mass' is suitable for performance both at Christmas time and beyond.

Score And Parts-Based on a text by the apostle Paul Lloyd Larson captures the promise of God's love in this stately anthem. The piano accompaniment offers a classical dignity while the vocal writing is both solid and engaging.

Written to commemorate the Passion of Christ, this cantata is a moving tribute to His life and ministry. Composed for maximum flexibility and scored for SA(T)B voices, the optional cued notes make it possible for the cantata to grow with your choir. Smaller choirs will enjoy the rich textures and larger ensembles will be able to engage their full resources. For churches that desire an instrumental component, a very modest consort instrumentation creates a reverent accompaniment. The narration contains scriptures and prayers to convey the graceful theme of Christ's sacrificial love. Ending with the crucifixion, A Gathering of Grace will set the stage for Easter morning. Songs include: Prelude of Shadows- In the Stillness of This Moment- Ask of Me- Palm Branches- A Light in the Upper Room- Jesus, in Gethsemane- The Day the Cross Held Up the Sky- A Green Hill Far Away- Recessional. Score and Parts (fl, cl, hn, perc, pno, hp, vn, vc) available as a Printed Edition and as a digital download.

As explained by Schutz in the foreword he published withthe collection all parts of the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally.This practice common in Schutz?s time has been incorporated into Bärenreiter?s new publication. The edition includes the twelve five-part motets at original pitch with Basso Continuo. In addition instrumental parts for String and Wind instruments can be purchased. These parts which include the text serve to support and complement the choral sound ?colla parte?. To enable varying tone-colour possibilities instrumental parts are available in different transpositions.Of great significance is the detailed foreword on performance practice by Manfred Cordes.Manfred Cordes is a specialist for the music of the 16th and early 17th centuries.

He performs internationally as the director of the ensemble ?Weser-Renaissance Bremen?.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach wrote his first great vocal composition the Magnificat in 1749 at the age of 35. It bears all the earmarks of “audition music” i.e. a piece that organists and choir directors had to submit when applying for a new position. This feature is especially evident in its stylistic variety which makes the work a rewarding and colorful challenge for all church choirs. Special attractions are the work's contrapuntal passages which are very similiar in sound and structure to those of J. S. Bach’s B minor Mass. The present arrangement for soloists chorus and organ is intended as a self contained version accessible to a widerange of choirs even those with limited financial means. - Self contained version for soloists (SATB) chorus (SATB) and organ - Ideal for use in church and concert hall - Clear and well presented organ part - Duration: ca. 40 minutes The Bärenreiter CHOIR&ORGAN Series presents great choral works in arrangements for soloists choir and organ; no orchestra is needed.

The Black Knight (Op.25) is a secular cantata for chorus and orchestra composed in 1893. It takes its text from a poem from H. W. Longfellow which is itself a translation of a poem in German by Ludwig Uhland. The choral parts act as a backing to the orchestra showing how Elgar was developing his orchestration techniques and talents although this development went unnoticed until the sudden success of the Enigma Variations in 1899. Edward Elgar (1857-1934) is one of England’s best-known and most-loved composers. He was self-taught as composer coming from outside the musical and social establishment which allowed his music to be fresh and unencumbered.
