Chaque été, la cathédrale de Chichester dans le Sussex mobilise ses voisines de Winchester et de Salisbury pour l'un des plus grands festivals de musique religieuse de Grande-Bretagne : le Southern Cathedral's Festival. Pour l'édition de 1965, on a commandé une composition à Leonard Bernstein - les Chichester Psalms, devenus très populaires entretemps. Cette oeuvre en trois parties se base sur des psaumes hébraïques, que Bernstein a réuni lui-même pour en souligner le caractère liturgique. L'année de la création des Chichester Psalms, Bernstein était en congé sabbatique d'un an de son poste au New York Philharmonic Orchestra, une occasion qu'il a utilisée pour composer. Il raconte : « À l'époque, je n'ai composé pendant un an quasiment que de la dodécaphonie, et des choses encore plus expérimentales. J'étais heureux de faire émerger ces nouvelles sonorités ; mais après environ six mois de travail, j'ai tout jeté. Ce n'était pas ma musique, ce n'était pas sincère. Ensuite, il y a eu les Chichester Psalms - certainement la pièce tonale en si majeur la plus claire que j'aie jamais composé ».Année : 1965Pages : 44Langue : Hebrew / Choeur et ensemble vocal / Boosey

Op. 48-The ?Messe de Requiem? is probably the internationally best-known and most frequently performed work by Gabriel Fauré. The composer?s first version was limited to just five movements and small-scale forces with low Strings Harp and Organ. The work was then expanded several times culminating in the version for large orchestra of 1900. This orchestral version forms the basis of this edition.Despite its comparatively long period of gestation the Requiem forms a stylistic unity. Unlike other requiem settings the composer foregoes any theatrical gestures in this work. A restrained dynamic range together with graceful melodicwriting for both soloists and Choir give the work a gentle and optimistic character.The Vocal score is based on the volume of the ? Complete Works of Gabriel Fauré ? (BA 9461) published in 2010. It is important to note that this vocal score is also compatible with the first small-scale version as well as the second chamber orchestra version.High-quality Urtext edition based on the ?

(Tenebrae version)-Stay with me Lord was originally commissioned by the Genesis Foundation as one of three commissioned settings of Padre Pio’s Prayer after Communion and first performed in June 2008 at Westminster Cathedral London by The Sixteen conducted by Harry Christophers. This version was arranged for the 2012 album The Call of Wisdom an album of a selection of Will Todd’s choral music performed by Tenebrae and The English Chamber Orchestra conducted by Nigel Short. It alters much of the way the work is accompanied both by the piano but also by adding an alternative strings and harp scoring (full score and parts available on download). Todd’s stirring harmonies which make fulluse of the mixed-voice choir with only the very occasional need for divisi and ability to write the most beautiful melodies has resulted in this work proving very popular with choirs of a range of abilities.
