Written during the height of the pandemic, this song of spiritual and physical wellness speaks to many moments of need. Opening with the first few chords of O God, Our Help in Ages Past, the anthem is framed as a petition for God's healing mercy. The fragile melody gently rises and falls, breathing with the sincerity of the lyrics. In the silence help us hear words of hope and promise clear. Teach us not to live in fear. Lord of all, we pray to You. A true anthem of hope!

It's been performed by Elvis, Stevie Wonder, and a host of others, but it was the Tennessee Ernie Ford recording that brought this song to national attention and the top of the Billboard charts. Great voice-leading and a tight rhythmic groove make it fun to sing. / Choeur SAB A Cappella

A Gaelic Blessing is a simple and catchy piece by Craig McLeish. This piece will be particularly useful for school, junior and community choirs, and a tuneful introduction to singing simple contrapuntal lines. The second soprano part repeats the tune at bar 33 and should dominate here - the first sopranos and altos should support appropriately. Ease and beauty of tone should be of paramount importance throughout. 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. Craig McLeish began his musical life as a chorister at St Paul's Cathedral under Barry Rose. He began composing at the age of ten and his preces and responses for four trebles are still in the repertoire. After a degree at York University he returned to London to study at the Guildhall and sang again at St Paul's as a tenor. At the time he also arranged and copied music for West End shows such as Les Miserables and Miss Saigon, and played bass guitar for various groups. This led to a spell in the cult pop band 'Fat and Frantic', who shaved the top 100 twice with the whimsical anthem Last night my wife hoovered my head. He also worked as musical assistant for David Heneker (Half a Sixpence) and David Fanshawe (African Sanctus). In 1992 Craig became director of the Methodist Association of Youth Clubs Orchestra and Singers, performing concerts throughout the UK and becoming involved in a number of recordings and BBC broadcasts. During this time he arranged more than 250 orchestral scores ranging from Queen to Calamity Jane, Stravinsky and Stevie Wonder. Alongside this he began arranging and writing songs for children's collections (Big Blue Planet, Love Shone Down) and producing recordings and string arrangements for various artists (Sheila Walsh, Kim Hill, Matt Redman). He is also well known as a conductor and arranger for Songs of Praise. Recently Craig has collaborated with composer Tolga Kashif writing orchestrations for the RPO's Seo Taiji Symphony, the Classic FM chart-topping CD by saxophonist Tyler Rix, and the Genesis Suite which was premiered at the Barbican. He has been musical director of Young Voices UK for 13 years, bringing large school choirs together to play with a live band and solo artists, and currently conducts the Milton Keynes Community Choir, Hart and Soul Community Choir and the Milton Keynes Youth Choir. / Choeur SSA

Try A Little Tenderness is the perfect choice for amateur choirs seeking an elegant and sophisticated centrepiece to their choral pop repertoire. Based on Otis Redding's smooth and soulful take on the song, this choral version is bursting with rich harmonies and jazzy chord progressions. Arranged by Jeremy Birchall for SAB chorus with piano accompaniment, this piece opens with a reasonably challenging intro, setting the scene for a beautiful and tender song that will captivate and touch both audiences and performers alike. / Sab Et Piano

A Lennon and McCartney classic released at the height of Beatlemania, A Hard Day's Night is the perfect song for choruses seeking those sharp, fizzing '60s harmonies that shine in a vocal ensemble. Arranged by Barrie Carson Turner, this three part SAB arrangement makes it easier for small scale choirs and amateur groups to achieve the piece's rich harmonies without Tenor and Baritone parts. / Sab Et Piano

I Dreamed A Dream is one of the most successful musical numbers of all time, having transformed its popularity from the stage into a global chart topper for the numerous artists who have covered and performed it. Taken from 'Les Misérables', the song is a lament sung by the anguished Fantine, who thinks back to happier days and wonders at the path her life has taken. Arranged for SSA chorus with Piano accompaniment, this is an excellent piece for choirs looking for a well-known emotional highlight for their repertoire or climax to a choral pop concert programme. / Choeur De Femmes (SSA) Et Piano

Introit for the feast of All Saints-'Composed in 2009 this short celebratory introit was the first of several unaccompanied works I composed for Matthew Owens and the Wells Cathedral Girl Choristers. The text ('Let us all rejoice') exists in a number of versions and here honours 'all the saints at whose solemnly the angels rejoice'. The texture essentially imitative is governed by a syncopated melodic phrase which gives way to softer material in the middle section. The return of the opening idea drives the piece towards a broad jubilant conclusion. The work was arranged for SSATB in 2010 for the Exon Singes Festival the upper parts unaltered. 'John Phibbs

This popular torch song was originally composed for Ella Fitzgerald, but ended up being dropped from the film Pete Kelly's Blues. She would eventually record it six years later, but in the meantime, a recording by Julie London introduced it to the world. Jay's sweet harmonies make for a bluesy arrangement. / Choeur SSA
