Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric “Sa nuit d'ete ” several melodic themes are supported by dense colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's “Soneto de la Noche ” from his Cien Sonetos de Amor speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet serene and folk-like utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous “Sure on this Shining Night” is set much like a song from the American musical theater a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant “Voici le soir” recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.

enthält 10 Singpartituren und 1 Klavierpartitur für Chor TTBB-Santiano is German Shanty and Irish Folk/Pop band from north-western Germany (Flensburg area). Here?s their song Auf nach Californio set for male choir with piano accompaniment. Comes in a binder with one piano score (8 pages) and 10 vocal scores (8 pages each) both shrinkwrapped together in one pack. Both piano and vocal scores can be ordered separately from the Bosworth Chor Edition in Cologne.

Expressive melodic lines and phrases lend a sense of yearning and melancholy to the unwavering hope and peace found in the text of this folk melody. Aaron McDermid has arranged “Come Sing to Me of Heaven” with broad open chords and tightly-woven suspensions. The slow mournful opening gives way to a faster contrasting middle section as the anticipation and hope of heaven builds. This moving contemplation of death and heaven is also a song ofcomfort – an emotional offering for concert or contest.

This collection is a great resource for concert and sight-reading material for beginning and developing men's choruses. Includes a cappella original works and settings of favorite folksongs and other traditional songs: Benedictus Hi-Ho the Holly She Walks in Beauty Greensleeves Kumbaya Vive la compagnie!
