This interesting new take on the classic carol O Little Town Of Bethlehem by Swiss composer Carl Rütti formed one-third of a trio of carols that reinvigorated the old favourites with fresh and interesting musical elements. The Three Carols medley was initiated in 1996 with O Little Town Of Bethlehem forming the Adagio section. Carl Rütti's work blends the English choral tradition with other genres such as jazz and blues. His work defies expectations and as such this would make a great piece to perform for choirs who are perhaps tired of the traditional Christmas choral works. In theSeptember 2015 issue of Organists' Review Michael Overbury wrote that this piece is '[w]ell crafter and emotionally engaging...the painfully bittersweet clashes convey the poignancy of the Incarnation superbly well.'

Compiled during his years of pastoral ministry Dr. Roger Paynter closes each of his worship services at First Baptist Church Austin Texas where Joseph Martin worships with this wonderful blessing. Joseph Martin honored Dr.Paynter by setting this contemporary challenge as a lush and dramatic anthem. Suitable for organ or piano support this short but amazingly powerful benediction is a special exclamation point at the end of any worship service.A Blessing to Service urges us to use all of our gifts and talents to work for God. “Now may God take your minds and think through them. May God take your lips and speak through them. May God take your hands and workthrough them. May God take your hearts and set them on fire. Amen!”

A classic from the golden age of the show tune, Smoke Gets In Your Eyes is a soulful and sophisticated number originally written by Jerome Kern and Otto Harbach for the musical Roberta. Over the years the song has been covered by Bryan Ferry, Jerry Garcia, and was a 1958 chart topping hit on both sides of the Atlantic for doo wop group, The Platters . With a deep dynamic range and rich, floating harmonies, this luxurious choral arrangement by Christopher Hussey for SATB chorus with Piano accompaniment, is a beautifully re-imagined new take on a timeless song. Full of engrossing tension and dramatic relief that swells up through thick, complex chords and a memorable lead line, this is a must perform piece for amateur-intermediate choirs. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Two SATB arrangements of Pieds En L'Air from Warlock's Capriol the first being a slumersome lullaby and the second an optimistic springtime song.Tomlinson's first arrangement Hush My Child was intended to take advantage of Warlock's sumptuous harmonies in the original string orchestra version of Pieds En L'Air but with voices. This setting was then shown to John Bishop who responded by creating the text Welcome The Spring to provide a more optimistic and forward-looking interpretation of the same piece.Both versions are featured in this edition leaving the choice to the singers and choral leaders themselves!

Gustav Mahler's Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen expertly arranged for Baritone solo and 8-part Choir (SSAATTBarB) by Bo Holten (2010). Text by Friedrich Rückert. Programme note Gustav Mahler: Ich bin der Welt abhanden gekommen (arr.: Holten 2010) is an arrangement for baritone soloist and 8-part choir of one of Mahler’s Rückert-Lieder. There is already an often performed arrangement for 16-voice choir by Clytus Gottwald which Holten has himself conducted a few times. But Holten does not really think that Gottwald does justice toMahler’s song; among other things it lacks a soloist who can express the “Ich” that is so central to the text. Holten takes his cue from Mahler’s piano setting but with Mahler’s own sublime orchestral setting firmly in mind. The choir thus functions as an (orchestral) accompaniment for the soloist. Holten has taken pains to stay as close to the model as possible within the constraints of what in fact can be sung by a choir. And he has striven to function solely as an arranger and as far as possible to avoid mixing his own personality with Mahler’s.(Klaus Møller-Jørgensen 2012)

Geistliches Repertoire. Par . With his Hebrew Choral Songbook, Ohad Stolarz presents a new collection of classics of the musical repertoire in Hebrew, arranged by him for mixed choir a cappella. Many of these pieces are published in Germany for the first time; almost all of them are first published as choral arrangements. The first volume contains ten sacred and paraliturgical songs that may be sung at various occasions. Among these are the feast of Passover, the “Ten Days of Repentance” in the month of Tishré and the Sabbath. The second volume contains ten secular songs that have become widely known in Israel during the 20th century. These songs are part of Israel’s cultural history and belong to its core repertoire. All Hebrew lyrics appear in transliteration underneath the music, translations in German and English and comprehensive annotation texts are located in the appendix. This choral songbook therefore allows all interculturally interested choirs to take first steps into the world of Jewish and more generally Hebrew choral music. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte

The Manchester Carols is an inspired collaboration between composer Sasha Johnson Manning and Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy. A collection of 12 carols linked with a gentle entertaining narration which reshape and modernise the Christmas story. Its creators wanted to write something that is relevant to and reflects modern society and which acknowledges the fact that even though someone might not subscribe to the religion behind the Nativity story they can still appreciate it as an inspiring magical tale. The carols are for everyone believers or not. Duffy uses the Christmas story as a metaphor for human experience giving usup-close and personal insights into the central characters of the nativity – Mary Joseph a newborn baby and a ‘golden youth’ (aka the Angel Gabriel). As Duffy herself says: 'I think the story is wonderful. There’s a lot we can take from it on a human level even if we don’t take the divine element.' There are hints too of the darker grittier side of the Nativity story – refugees poverty giving birth on the road; and looking further forward there are hints of Jesus’ fate on the cross. These carols were written in Manchester in 2007 and first performed by children from several Manchester schools at The Royal Northern College of Music (and again in 2008). All of us who worked on them – librettist composer artist conductor teachers musicians and singers – live and work in that great city. And so these are and will forever be  The Manchester Carols'.

This piano prelude was played at the funeral of Frederic Chopin.
