This unaccompanied SSATB choral arrangement of The Beatles classic With A Little Help From My Friends by Carsten Gerlitz includes 10 vocal scores to allow mixed choirs to sing this paean to friendship.One of The Beatles' most popular compositions, it was composed for Ringo Starr to sing, and therefore needed to have just five notes in the melody to accommodate his limited vocal range. The song inspired a number of famous cover versions, most notably Joe Cocker's at Woodstock. / Choeur Mixte (SSATB)

Music runs through the story of Arion which begins with a singing competition in Sicily. Arion wins the prize and this puts his life in danger: his newfound wealth excites the greed of the sailors who are supposed to be bringing him back to Corinth and they threaten to kill him. They allow Arion to sing one last song and the power of his singing attracts dolphins to the ship.  At the end of his song he jumps overboard and one of the dolphins carries him to safety.  So Arion’s musical gift gets him into trouble but it is also his salvation.   The idea of being rescued by a music-loving dolphin is very appealing. In Robert Graves’account of the myth the dolphin could not bear to be parted from Arion and accompanied him back to court where “it soon succumbed to a life of luxury.”  However Herodotus says that after his rescue and return to Corinth Arion failed to return the dolphin to the sea and it died there.  Apollo placed the dolphin among the stars and next to it Arion’s lyre in recognition of his musical skill.  This is one of the mythical explanations of the origins of the constellations Delphinus and Lyra. It seems natural to sing a story that has singing at its heart. When I was asked by the Nicholas Berwin Charitable Trust to write a choral work for Making Music something that would be within reach of many choirs and involve children this story struck me as ideal: the men of the chorus could be the bloodthirsty sailors and the women could create an atmosphere of mystery for the arrival of the dolphins represented by children’s voices. There would be one solo voice: Arion the marvellous singer. Andrew Fardell the conductor who was advisor to this commission had suggested that I might use the same instrumentation as a popular arrangement of Orff’s Carmina Burana a work that as well as using children’s chorus features a solo countertenor. I thought the magical otherworldly quality of this

The popular hit Downtown, originally performed by Petula Clark is now arranged for Unaccompanied SSATB choir by Carsten Gerlitz. This pack contains 10 of the vocal scores.When writer Tony Hatch first walked down Broadway in New York in 1964, he got the inspiration to write this song, which immediately hit the top of the charts and helped Clark attain an international career. The song was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and has not lost its magic, even after 50 years. / Choeur Mixte (SSATB)

Aus: Israelsbrünnlein. Par SCHEIN JOHANN HERMANN. Johann Hermann Schein’s Israelsbrünnlein, published in Leipzig in 1623, is a supreme achievement not only among the works of this composer, who had been Thomaskantor in Leipzig since 1616, but also for the entire body of German music written during the first half of the 17th century. Among the 26 motets written “in the Italian madrigal manner” 23 are settings of Old Testament texts, a fact to which the collection owes its title. The source for the text of this collection is the “inexhaustible fountain” of the Psalms, the books of Moses, the Prophets, the Songs of Solomon, and other books of the Old Testament. / Mottet / Répertoire / Choeur SSATB
