Simplicity often gives way to purity and beauty and that is the case with James Gosslers setting of this Irish room blessing. Serving as a concert closer or benediction the words bring peace and comfort. The music is equally serene written in achorale style.

Heinrich Poos n'est pas le premier compositeur inspiré par Friedrich Gottlieb Klopstock poème Die Auferstehung ', car même Gustav Mahler avait déjà utilisé ces versets dans le cinquième mouvement de son' Auferstehung 'Deuxième Symphonie. Mahler a été inspiré d'utiliser un mouvement choral à la fin de sa symphonie à l'enterrement du chef d'orchestre Hans von Bülow où une chorale a chanté un choral sur la base dudit texte par Klopstock. Heinrich Poos a écrit sa pièce bouleversante chorale, en souvenir de l'organiste Hubert Schoonbrodt. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) A Cappella

Will Todd, né en 1970, est de forger une solide réputation pour lui-même comme un compositeur qui est tout aussi à l'aise en opéra, oratorio, musique d'église et jazz. Son style est immédiatement accessible et durablement mémorable. Il a passé ses années de formation imprégnées de jazz et de la tradition chorale anglaise donc dans sa musique chorale, il est capable de juxtaposer lecteur rythmique solide et des harmonies riches avec des lignes vocales délicieusement lyriques.Ce paramètre glorieux de mots paraphrasées par Bède le vénérable (une citation d'un des prières de Bède le vénérable qui se bloque sur le mur est au-dessus de sa tombe dans la cathédrale de Durham) a été écrit pour un mariage en 1995.

The text of Susanni is a translation of Martin Luther's hymn of 1535, Vom Himmel hoch . The music is based loosely upon the well-known chorale melody, which, at times, is quoted in full in both voices and organ. Except where indicated, singers should adopt a legato style, especially in the repeated quaver patterns. In the bars which appear to be in compound time, conductors should beat in crotchets. 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. Bill Ives has spent his life in choral music - as a singer, conductor, teacher and composer (writing as Grayston Ives). He was a chorister at Ely Cathedral and later studied music at Cambridge, taking composition lessons with Richard Rodney Bennett. After Cambridge he sang in Guildford Cathedral Choir before joining the King's Singers, with whom he recorded and performed worldwide. For eighteen years he directed the Choir of Magdalen College, Oxford. During his tenure the choir earned a Grammy nomination for a disc of music by Orlando Gibbons, and gave the première of Paul McCartney's Ecce Cor Meum, written especially for them. In 2008 his work as a composer and conductor of church music was recognised with the award of a Lambeth DMus and a Fellowship of the Royal School of Church Music. / Choeur SATB Et Orgue

Almost 40 compositions half of which written for accompanied and unaccompanied choir can currently be found in the catalogue of works by the young Polish composer Katarzyna Danel (born in 1992). After winning several national composition prizes she was awarded the 1st prize of the 13th International Composition Competition 'Musica Sacra Nova' 2016 for Misericordias Domini for eight-part mixed a cappella choir. The complex sacred a cappella choral work is based on the eponymous Gregorian chorale (Psalm 89:2). This Latin choral piece is characterized by three main structures: by aleatoric sound clouds in major pentatonic scales which are emphasized by sustained organum-like notesfrom the Gregorian chorale melody on the one hand by Renaissance-style polyphony combined with modern harmony on the other hand and finally by long static chords merging in space and harmony. A wonderfully mystical spherical composition which by means of ad libitum passages marked in the musical text even gives the performer the opportunity to interpret the piece individually.

Winter Cantata / Vinterkantate (1976) by Per Nørgård for a variable ensemble of soloist mixed choir and instruments (minimum: vocalist and organ). Programme Note: When in 1975 I had finished composing my 3rd Symphony (begun in 1973) I wrote three simple melodies for two psalm texts by Ole Sarvig: ?The Year? and ?Choral Hymn?. These three tunes were derived from the same material as the second movement of the 3rd Symphony and could be harmonized together in several different tempo relationships at the same time - like fractals which inspired me to write several choral and instrumental works in the following decade based on thesemelodies: ?Frost Psalm? ?Winter Cantata? ? Winter Hymn? ?Cantica? and others. One of these ´Sarvig melodies´ is now included in the new Danish Hymnbook under the title ?Året?(The Year). Ole Sarvig´s poem ?Året? (The Year) is Danish perhaps Scandinavian in character but its symbolic atmosphere is global (now snow is covering the whole earth). The basic composition of this cantata based on Sarvig´s many verses was done by letting soloist choir and instruments change in feelings and moods: from the almost silent inward-looking beginning (I: Chorale dolorosa) to a dancelike and happy optimism (II: A heaven germ on winged foot thrust deep into the earth its root) followed by nightmarish tone rows as the ?year-wheel of fortune? is turning (III: Sacrifice The Year) and the temptations of the snake (IV: In Paradiso) to the allegorical fights between egoism and altruism (V:The Cycle Autumn. Purgatory) before the ?waiting for a disaster?- atmosphere at the end of this choral Odyssé. Winter Cantata was from the beginning (1976) designed as an open work to be arranged by different combinations of soloists choir and (different) instruments. The printed version by Per Nørgård and Ivan hansen for soloist mixed choir and instruments (obo violin trombone vibraphone/percussion and organ) is from 1990. The work

This complex work was commissioned by the West Virginia Choral Directors Association. The final movement, 'The Phoenix,? explores the mystery of new life rising up from the ashes. Recording provided by the College of Saint Rose Masterworks Chorale, directed by Michael Lister. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)
