Mozart's Requiem, his last and unfinished composition, is one of the most famous choral works in the classical repertoire, a masterpiece whose genesis in several respects is shrouded in mystery. The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements -- Soprano, Alto and Men -- and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for ââ¬Åsoundââ¬Â to create the portmanteau word ââ¬Åsound togetherââ¬Â or ââ¬Åharmony.ââ¬Â The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.

To this day, Eugène Bozza (1905-1991) remains a prolific composer for wind instruments, despite being a violinist himself. However, his compositions for other instrumentations have not gone amiss, Evening Star being no exception. During his studies at the Paris Conservatoire, Bozza won prizes for violin, conducting and composition, as well as the Grand Prix de Rome. He then conducted the orchestra of the Opéra-Comique and became Head of the Conservatoire in Valenciennes, whilst remaining a prominent composer. Composed in 1946, Bozza's Evening Star is based on a poem of the same name by Alfred de Musset, a prominent poet during the early 1800s. This choral work is arranged for female voices; Soprano, Mezzo Soprano and Contralto. Containing much musical variation, Bozza's Evening Star is an exciting addition to the choral repertoire.

Hans Sandigs heitere Tierliederfolge entstand fur seinen eigenen Kinderchor im ,,Radio DDR. Den Kindern werden in vergnuglichen Liedern unterstutzt von Schlagwerk und Blasern zahlreiche exotische Tiere vorgestellt. Richard Hambach erzahlt manche lustige Geschichte. Musikalisch richtet sich Sandig nach dem Kinderlied, streut aber auch Tanzmusikelemente ein. Vorfreude auf den Zoo kommt mit dem Auftrittslied. Als erstes Tier begegnet der Bar. Die Posaune und gehaltene Akkorde tiefer Blasinstrumente lassen ihn brummen. Allerlei merkwurdige Laute gibt der dicke Elefant von sich, durch Posaunen-Glissandi und durch die Trompete mit dem Wahwah-Dampfer. Der Chor lasst ihn grunzen, klappern, plarren, wiehern. Eine exotisch gefarbte, von monotonem Schlagwerk begleitete Melodie deutet den eintonigen Wustenzug des Kamels an. In einem lustigen Intermezzo wird ein Regenwurm betrachtet, der sich in das Schlangenhaus verirrt hat. Dann erscheint plotzlich die Feuerwehr. Der Tierarzt klettert die Leiter empor, um den langen Hals der Giraffe zu betrachten und eine Angina durch Biomalz zu kurieren. Mit der Melodie des Auftrittsliedes verlassen die Kinder den Zoo und nehmen sich vor, bald wieder hinzugehen.
