Tudor and Stuart monarchs reigned during a period of political and ecclesiastical turmoil out of which occurred profound developments in musical style.Tudor Anthems (the term loosely applied to cover the years 1520 to 1640) anthologises some of the finest English musical works of that era. It includes sacred works of various lengths and standards of difficulty for mixed voice choir accompanied and unaccompanied by an array of composers including Byrd Dering Gibbons Morley Mundy Parsons Philips Smith Taverner and Tomkins.A comprehensive collection and indispensable resource for any choir's library prepared in an easilyunderstood performing edition by Lionel Pike.'This is an excellent book. It offers variety the familiar and the less so all levels of difficulty and excellent value. Choirs who invest in a set could cover this aspect of their repertoire for years to come.'Andrew Gant (Choir & Organ - March/April 2011) 'A new Tudor anthem anthology will inevitably invite comparison with the popular Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems but Lionel Pike's collection largely avoids overlap with the OUP book and its contents certainly do not disappoint.' Matthew O'Donovan (Early Music Today - March/May 2011)'For many choirs and choral societies the Oxford Book of Tudor Anthems has been a standard source for this wonderful repertoire since it was first published in 1978. This new edition from Novello is now a serious competitor (why have we had to wait so long!). At almost the same price as the OUP volume and with 50 anthems (OUP had 34) this anthology is remarkable value for money. Before considering the contents it is worth mentioning its weight. My choir complains at holding the New Church Anthem Book and this is the same weight as the NCAB paperback (i.e. over a kilogram) and almost A4 in size. Lionel Pike

The antiphon 'O Sapientia' (with a text from the Old Testament Book of Wisdom) bears testimony to Pawel Lukaszewski's genuine artistry and to his fascinating very individual musical imagination as an academic composer (hestudied composition at the Music Academy in Warsaw where he is a lecturer at present) as well as to his vast knowledge and profound understanding of the immense wealth of choral church music tradition. He is a man deeplyinvolved in the development of new liturgical music the organiser of an association a competition and a festival of sacred music as well as founder of a choir in one of Warsaw's two cathedrals. 'O Sapientia' is neither eclecticnor experimental – it is rather a mature continuation of the tradition on the highest artistic level.For unaccompanied SATB chorus (with divisions) with a Piano accompaniment for rehearsal purposes.

Jon Washburn Choral Series-The words of Christina Rossetti's poem Who Has Seen The Wind? are simple yet spiritually profound. They speak of placing trust in the unknowable and of appreciating the miracle of our existence: 'Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling The wind is passing through.' In this setting for SATB choir by David Archer the music is lyrical andcontrapuntal with wide dynamic contrast. This beautifully poignant piece offers plenty of moments for your singers to express their individual musicianship. Listen to Who Has Seen The Wind? recorded atthe premiere by Vancouver Chamber Choir on November 14 2014.

Opening with an optional solo voice stating the simple yet profound message, this anthem then flows into an elegant choral offering of reflective praise, and concludes with a seamless quotation of 'Lo, How a Rose.'

c-Moll-Contemporary criticism saw in Rheinberger?s Stabat Mater op. 16 from 1864 ?one of the most beautiful works of this type which the present time has to offer. Distinguished through its breadth of conception and its noble tonal effect with its rich polyphony it reaches the masterpieces of the old Italian school.? In the expressive choral movements rich-sounding homophonic passages are combined with sections worked out in strict polyphony. The sustained songlike solo pieces are of a profound expression.

The sense of rare and beautiful magic encountered in the early verse of Yeats is perfectly captured in this setting of He Wishes For The Cloths Of Heaven which like the no less evocative texts selected by Warlock for 'The Curlew' is among the outstanding items from the early collection 'The Wind Among The Reeds'. To the rich symbolism of the poet's work smoothly euphonious and finely balanced choral harmonies add their own 'golden and silver light' making in words and music a sonorous image of the profound vision part romance part mystery at the heart of this unique poem.
