DR Pigekoret-Sange for Pigekor 4 redigeret af Phillip Faber og Jakob Faurholt (2017). Fra forord:Med serien Sange for pigekor ønsker vi at fokusere på bredden i ligestemmig sang og præsentere de bedste satser fra DR PigeKorets repertoire. Vi har samlet nye og gamle danske sange og dette hæfte spænder fra Carl Nielsen til Agnes Obel og Marie Key. DR PigeKoret har siden etableringen i 1938 været formidler af den danske sangskat og har med bestillinger af både originalværker og arrangementer været med til at forny den ligestemmige sang. DRs nodearkiv bugner afværker og arrangementer for pigekor og hvert år kommer der endnu flere til. Et udvalg af disse sange præsenterer vi i denne serie i håbet om at de kan være til glæde og inspiration for andre ligestemmige kor. Alle satserne i serien er blevet sunget af DR PigeKoret eller DR JuniorKoret og bag i hæftet findes der noter til et udvalg af sangene. Phillip Faber og Jakob Faurholt

A sweet and tranquil lullaby for the Virgin Mary at the birth of Christ. This setting is for Upper Voices and Piano accompaniment with words and music by John Rutter.

Song For Athene is a work by British composer John Tavener arranged by Barry Rose for Upper Voices and Organ with optional Cello. The text is taken from Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' as well as from theOrthodox Funeral Service. The entire work lasts around 7 minutes. The original version of Song For Athene was commissioned by the BBC and first performed on 22nd January 1994 at St Giles'Church Cripplegate London by the BBC Singers conducted by Simon Joly. This arrangement received a positive review from Geoffrey Webber in the January/February 2016 edition of Choir & Organ.

Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine has all the emotional appeal and refined elegance that one associates with its composer and has a cherished place in the repertory of both sacred and secular choirs. This arrangement for upper voices remains as faithful to the original as possible.

Looking for a work for advanced treble chorus? This a cappella work for SSAA (div) is successful in worship or concert settings alike. The thought provoking text is set to lush harmony with well-crafted part writing.

A tremendous setting of Psalm 148 for Upper Voices (SSAA) Unison Chorus and Organ (or Piano) by Gustav Holst.

?Hey Brother? ?Levels? and ?Without you? are now available for six-part mixed or female choir. The arrangements offer a wide variety of vocal and choral possibilities and attention has been paid that all parts are of the same musical standard. Whether homophonic or unisono they artfully intertwine from one passage to the next. However for all their sophistication the arrangements remain manageable and easy to learn displaying the typical groove of each Avicii song within a multi-layered texture.

A breathtakingly beautiful piece of music.Tom Fettke has paired Bach's immortal Air on the G String with two of the most famous Advent texts Come Thou Long-Expected Jesus and O Come O Come Emmanuel. The result is exceptionally natural and the optional oboe and strings accompaniment is a stunning addition. A timeless classic for Advent and Christmas Eve.

The ?Gloria? RV 589 is one of Vivaldi?s most popular compositions today and one of the most regularly performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque era. The work was in all probability composed around 1716 during Vivaldi?s time at the Ospedale della Piet an orphanage for girls in Venice. Although Vivaldi?s ?Gloria? (BA 8953) was written for solo voices and mixed choir it is likely that it was performed at the girls? orphanage with female voices only. Taking this into account Malcolm Bruno?s careful arrangement for choir SSAA is of some relevance. The work when set for female voices or children?s choir remains a true masterpiece.The ?Kyrie? RV 587 (BA8954)for two choirs and two string ensembles as arranged here for female choir displays its own charm. It can be performed together with the Gloria as a type of short mass.Both arrangements are based on the recently published Urtext editions of these works. The piano reductions by editor Malcolm Bruno are easy to play and preserve the character of the works.Effective arrangements for female choirForewords in English and GermanStraightforward idiomatic piano reductionsKyrie and Gloria can be combined for performanceThe orchestral parts for the original SATB version can be used for the performance of these arrangements.
