Music played an enormous role in the works of William Shakespeare, while his own sonnets, poems and soliloquies have provided continuing inspiration for many composers through the years. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection, inspired by the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death in 2016, is an exciting anthology of choral works that are settings of Shakespeare's words. For choirs of all types and abilities, this collection has been edited by David Wordsworth so that all the pieces are fantastic both to sing and hear.The collection features some beautiful settings that have well and truly stood the test of time, such as Thomas Arne's Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind and Henry Leslie's How Sweet The Moonlight Sleeps. More recent settings from 20th century and contemporary composers include Ernest Moeran's Sigh No More, Ladies, Gary Carpenter's Lo, Here, The Gentle Lark and John Tavener's Fear No More and Look In Thy Glass.Not only this, the Shakespeare Choral Collection boasts several works that were specially commissioned, including John Joubert's Be Not Afeard, Richard Sisson's Light Thickens and Pawel Lukaszewki's Weary With Toil, I Haste Me To My Bed. Some pieces have never appeared before in print, such as those by Kevin Olsen, Bernard Hughes and John Gardner. These songs truly are a joy to perform, with some relatively simple arrangements that are purely fun to sing, while some more complex settings that will be thoroughly rewarding for choirs and audiences alike.A total of 26 fantastic works comprise The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection, which would work as a wonderful concert programme on its own, or could provide a wealth of options for choirs looking to expand their repertoire with a range of unique settings. Also included is a fascinating introduction by editor David Wordsworth, and notes describing each piece.Words written by indisputably the greatest writer in the English language can only be matched with music by composers of talent and renown such as these. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection is an essential anthology of stunning settings of beautiful words which will be performed and enjoyed for many years to come. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

La renommée de Carl Maria von Weber repose principalement sur , Der Freischütz '. Le succès sans précédent de cet opéra éclipsé tous ses autres travaux et a contribué à leur chute de plus en plus dans l'oubli . Certains travaux tels que , Preciosa ', , Oberon , et , Euryanthe ' , les ouvertures, concertos en solo et sonates pour piano , des lieder et chambre oeuvres jouissent d'une grande popularité et ont été largement connus en Allemagne et à l'étranger aussi tard que la deuxième moitié de la 19ème siècle . Cependant , toute chance d'une renaissance de Weber et influentoeuvre considérable a été perdu dans les années 1920 , quand une édition complète - commencé par Hans Joachim Moser et avec les contributeurs potentiels, y compris Wilhelm Kempff , Hans Pfitzner , Max von Schillings , Fritz Stein et Richard Strauss - a échoué après le troisième volume .Depuis , il ya eu de nombreuses tentatives pour relancer une édition complète des oeuvres de Weber , mais que ce genre de projet , il aurait fallu la collaboration de chercheurs des deux côtés de la frontière inter- allemande , la situation politique après 1945 n'était pas propice à une telle entreprise . Négociations approfondies ont conduit aux premières mesures concrètes dans les années 1980 . L'intention , dès le début , était de placer l'oeuvre de Weber dans son contexte, et ne pas se séparer de sa production musicale de son travail influent comme un écrivain , critique et organisateur dans le domaine musical , mais de publier ses compositions avec ses lettres, journaux et d'autres la production littéraire comme le meilleur moyen de documenter la fertilisation croisée entre ses activités musicales , littéraires et pratiques .Depuis la réunification des deux - groupes de travail allemands concernés - à la Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin , et au Séminaire Musikwissenschaftliches , Detmold / Paderborn - ont coopéré sur l'édition complète des oeuvres musicales ( c. 45 volumes de la série 10 : sacré musique - cantates , des odes et des autres travaux occasionnels- oeuvres scéniques , lieder et des oeuvres vocales - oeuvres orchestrales , musique de chambre , musique pour piano - réductions pour piano - Miscellanea , arrangements et orchestrations , des oeuvres d' attribution douteuse ) . Les journaux (6-8 vol.) Sont édités à Berlin et les lettres (8-10 vol.) Et d'autres écrits ( 2 vol. ) À Detmold .Cette édition complète vise à constituer une base fiable de débat scientifique , ainsi que pour la pratique de la performance authentique de la musique de Carl Maria von Weber . Conforme aux normes d'éditions historico-critiques récentes , le matériau textuel sera basé sur les sources authentiques disponibles , accompagnés par une documentation détaillée de la genèse et une liste de variantes pour chaque travail . L'importance musicologique des travaux sera évaluée en les plaçant dans leur contexte historique , la présentation de leur genèse , l'histoire et les commentaires critiques . Les lettres , les écrits et les journaux seront considérés comme interdépendants et pertinente à l'autre dans les commentaires , donc les lecteurs devraient bénéficier d'une foule de renseignements concis et renvois . / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Instruments Divers

Par KALLIWODA JOHANN WENZEL. Kalliwodas Messe ist ein Beispiel für die höfische Musikpflege im 19. Jahrhundert, die immer stärker zu den Randerscheinungen des kulturellen Lebens wurde. In der Messe verzichtet Kalliwoda nahezu auf polyphone Stimmführung – lediglich das 'Et vitam venturi saeculi' wird in zwei jeweils paarweise verstärktn Stimmen kanonisch eingeführt – und widmet sich stattdessen verstärkt der harmonischen Ausarbeitung. / Messe / Répertoire / Choeur SATB

A Cantata for Holy Week. Par MARTIN JOSEPH M.. Portraits in Grace is a musical gallery of faith displaying the life, ministry and passion of Jesus. Through scripture, narration and song, the backdrop is created for the reflections of the Lenten season, particularly during Holy Week. As the cantata moves through Christ's extraordinary life, each song displays the sacred beauty of the Savior, and lingers with His many graceful acts of love. The work ends with Christ's death on the cross and the bittersweet beauty of this redemptive gift to the world. With options that include the visual arts, the presentation can be expanded to include more members of your congregation, taking the cantata beyond the loft. A small consortof instruments is available, as well. Songs include: Prelude, Portrait, Fairest Lord Jesus, The Healer, Behold the King, We Remember, A Sacred Garden, Let Us Gather in the Shadow of the Cross, Portrait of the Cross, Recessional of Shadows. Score and Parts (fl, cl, hn, hp, pno, vn, vc) available as a Printed Editional and as a digital download./ Recueil / SATB

Par SAMUEL RHIAN. Music for SATB chorus occupies an important place in Rhian Samuel 's catalogue of works, from the early carols written in the USA, 'Jolly Wat the Shepherd' of 1970 and 'So Long Ago' (1st Prize, Greenwich Festival, 1979) to her most recent anthems for the Choir of New College Oxford. In her songs, vocal chamber music and choral compositions she has explored an impressive range of poetry, from anonymous 14th-century Welsh texts and traditional Japanese verse to Emily Dickinson, Samuel Beckett and contemporary poets including Anne Stevenson. Samuel 's three 'Jacobean Lyrics' of 1979 included a simple canonic account of George Herbert's 'I got me flowers'. Thisnew a cappella setting returns to the poet's sublime devotional verse, reflecting the dialogue structure of ' Love Bade Me Welcome ' through expressive contrasts of material and vocal ensemble./ Feuillet / SATB a Cappella

He was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Southampton in 2002 in recognition of his Services to Music. 'Noël was a welcome addition to the Christmas list for decent standard choirs - Noël 2 adds even more to the repertoire in a handy volume... The main enticements are some fantastic new arrangements of old favourites, a number of works previously only available in single sheets (Whitacre's Lux Arumque among others) and some fantastic new surprises. Adrian Peacock's Venite, Gaudete is a wonderfully original and vibrant setting, Richard Rodney Bennet's I Wonder as I Wander is both reflective and effective, and there are plenty more. Some of the pieces here will challenge your choir, but there's a vast amount to get the Christmas inspiration flowing.
