Gabriel Og Maria af John Høybye. Tekster af Britt G. Hallqvist. Juleoratorium for blandet kor (SATB) recitator soli fløjte orgel klaver og bas (trommer/percussion ad lib.). Korpartitur. Partitur: WH31081 Stemmesæt: WH31081A Programnote: I 1985 udkom Gabriel og Maria - 7 sange til jul for kor og rytmegruppe.Det var nyt på den tid at skrive kormusik - oven i købet til kirkelige tekster - der skulle akkompagneres af jazz/rock-musikere og hvor korsangerne skulle udfolde sig i stilarter som bossa samba og jazzvals. Men sangene blev hurtigt populære og allerede i de første år efter udgivelsen blev de en fast del af mange kors julerepertoire både herhjemme og i Skandinavien (i en svensk-sproget udgave) - ja helt til USA kom de (i en engelsk-sproget udgave).Tæt på 25 års jubilæet er det nu tid til en revideret ny-udgivelse.Selve sangene er der ikke lavet om på - men storformen er ændret således at værket nu fremstår som et lille juleoratorium med recitationer og orgel-mellemspil. En enkel ny sats er kommet til: Lovsangen Stjerner og vinde og skyer og de instrumentale mellemspil (soli for fløjte/sax piano eller bas) er udbygget på forskellig måde. Normalt er det instrumenterne der akkompagnerer koret. Men i de instrumentale mellemspil er rollerne byttet om. Nu er det koret der med riffs scatsang og forskellige akkordbaserede figurer 'akkompagnerer' de improviserende solister.Fløjten vil - med passende oktaveringer - kunne erstattes af saxofon (sopran og/eller alt). Det forudsætter dog at saxofonisten er i stand til - også - at spille med smuk 'klassisk' klang. Recitationsteksterne er taget fra Cecil Bødkers bog: Marias barn (Gyldendal).Orgelsatserne

Vocalise-Will Todd born in 1970 is forging a strong reputation for himself as a composer who is equally at ease in opera oratorio church music and jazz. His style is instantly accessible and lastingly memorable. He spent his formative years steeped in both jazz and the English choral tradition so in his choral music he is able to juxtapose strong rhythmic drive and rich harmonies with exquisitely lyrical vocal lines.'Angel Song II' is inspired by the idea of angels singing on Christmas night. The music weaves a gentle melody over the aleatoric textures of the accompanying voices. The text is designed to create the echo of the word 'Hosanna' butwith no consonants so that the music feels as if it comes from 'on high'.'

In 2004 the number one album Come Away with Me established Norah Jones as one of the year's top performers her smooth jazz stylings and velvet voice topping the charts and winning admirers. Her former choir director Paris Rutherford has tastefully arranged this top single in a vocal jazz setting for SATB mixed choir. Ideal to add some delicate contemporary swing to any choral performance!

Will Todd, né en 1970, est de forger une solide réputation pour lui-même comme un compositeur qui est tout aussi à l'aise en opéra, oratorio, musique d'église et jazz. Son style est immédiatement accessible et durablement mémorable. Il a passé ses années de formation imprégnées de jazz et de la tradition chorale anglaise donc dans sa musique chorale, il est capable de juxtaposer lecteur rythmique solide et des harmonies riches avec des lignes vocales délicieusement lyriques.Ce paramètre glorieux de mots paraphrasées par Bède le vénérable (une citation d'un des prières de Bède le vénérable qui se bloque sur le mur est au-dessus de sa tombe dans la cathédrale de Durham) a été écrit pour un mariage en 1995. Simple choral écrit soutenues par une partie de l'orgue lumineux se combinent pour créer un hymne de la beauté et la radiance. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orgue

Judith Clurman Choral Series-This classic American patriotic tune has been creatively arranged for SATB choir and jazz band. It was premiered at the 2014 Macy's 4th of July Fireworks and was every bit worthy of such a national platform. Perform with rhythmsection or full jazz band.

Novello New Choral Series-Craig McLeish writes of The Negro Speaks of Rivers; Langston Hughes (1902-1967) was the first black American to earn his living from writing. He was an innovator of jazz poetry becoming part of the Harlem Renaissance in the 1920s and 1930s. He wrote plays short stories novels and his poetry was widely read. He was also a journalist columnist and lecturer. The Negro Speaks of Rivers was perhaps his earliest published work written when only 17 and while travelling by train to Mexico to visit his father. As the train crossed the Mississippi he suddenly began thinking about how rivers had impacted on Negro history particularly in the fight against slavery.The four rivers mentioned in the poem lent themselves to using musical influences from those particular regions. However I have tried to keep these links fairly tenuous to avoid overt pastiche. A few years ago I was fortunate enough to work with Congolese musicians. These sessions led to the intricate rhythms in The Congo. The Mississippi mentions New Orleans so a jazz fugue seemed the most appropriate compositional device to weave into the texture. The spirit of The Nile was gauged from many hours listening avidly to Egyptian music.Craig McLeish began his musical life as a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral. As a bass guitarist conductor musical arranger and composer he has worked with a wide variety of groups in several genres and scored a hit with the cult pop band ‘Fat & Frantic’. He is musical director of Young Voices UK and conducts several youth and community choirs in and around Milton Keynes. Listen to an excerpt from Craig McLeish's The Negro Speaks Of Rivers:
