A collection of choral works by Latvian composer Eriks Esenvalds published in association with Musica Baltica.

Based on Isaiah 4:4-7 and Luke 3:4-6-Here is a gently powerful work for Advent that quotes both the Old Testament prophecy and its New Testament fulfillment. Every Valley is a confident anthem of promise. Add even more strength with the B-flat trumpet descant.

Like a beacon of light through the storm clouds “A Place in the Valley” pierces our doubts with rays of hope and promise. Nancy Price and Don Besig add to their tremendous collection of unforgettable sermons in songwith this picturesque gospel-style anthem. Written for the United Church of Underhill Vermont the comforting refrain borrows from the psalm of another great songwriter I will lift my eyes up to the mountains for I know myhelp will come from the Lord. Make this new anthem a part of your library. Highly recommended!

Klavierauszug-Vivaldi's Credo for SATB and Piano.The Credo belongs to that large group of church works which Vivaldi composed in Venice between 1713 and 1717 for the Ospedale della Piet then his primary place of employment. The composition conceived solely for choir and strings is characterized by a two-layered formal design: a continuous basic motivic idea i.e. a constant rhythmic impulse with rapid tone repetition builds an instrumental layer while on the other hand the writing for choir renders the text in a blocklike structure in chordal declamation. This structure will only be abandoned briefly in the concluding section of work where the text 'Et vitam venturisaeculi' is embedded in a concise fugue.

Par VIVALDI / BLANCHARD. As one of the great Baroque composers, Antonio Vivaldi 's (1678-1741) compositions remain hugely popular to this day. His motets, including Motetti A Canto Solo Con Stromenti continue to be popular, large-scale performance works. Vivaldi is best remembered for his Four Seasons and for his Violin concertos. However, his motets number to over 60. The second volume of Motetti A Canto Solo Con Stromenti contains the last three movements of the work. For all aspiring solo vocalists of the Baroque genre, Vivaldi 's Motetti A Canto Solo ConStromenti cannot be missed./ Répertoire / SATB

Ed. critica di Alessandro Borin - ril. brochure-La Gloria E Imeneo RV 687 belongs to a group of so-called ‘French serenatas’ by Antonio Vivaldi namely a series of works composed and performed between the mid-1710s and mid-1720s of the eighteenth century in celebration of important recurrent and non-recurrent events relating to the Kingdom of France and its diplomatic representatives resident in Italy.This serenata was indeed commissioned from Vivaldi by the French ambassador in Venice Jacques-Vincent Languet Count of Gergy on the occasion of the wedding of Louis XV to the Polish princess Maria Leszczyska and was performed during a festa that took place inthe ambassador’s garden on the evening of 12 September 1725.This critical edition is based on the autograph score held by Biblioteca Nazionale Universitaria of Turin. It also includes an Introduction that describes the genesis and the first performance of the Serenata the state of the sources and its musical content. The critical edition includes an apparatus that records all the variants between the autograph score and the secondary collate sources and a diplomatic- interpretative edition of the poetic text inferred – since no libretto has come down to us – by the words underlaid to the notes in the manuscript of the serenata.

Argentinian folk music composers Los Hermanos Abal are best known for founding a folk group in 1939. Their career high point came in 1942 when their song Carnavalito Quebradeño was used in the film La Guerra Gaucha. Virtu Maragno (1828-2004) sublimely harmonises the song for SATB choir. Argentinian born Maragno was a composer of classical opera and film music as well as a teaching and national academic. His harmonisation of Carnavalito Quebradeño displays elements of South American folk music. For aspiring four-part choirs Maragno's harmonisation of Los Hermanos Abal'sCarnavalito Quebradeño makes for an exciting alternative performance work.
