The carol text is by the same sixteenth-century poet--Robert Southwell--as the better-known This Little Babe. Like its sister text, it explores an unusual metaphor for the infant Jesus--in this case, a refining fire which purifies the believer. The strophic setting, with soprano solo, is dissonant and chromatic, with edgy rhythms: a fine selection to balance against sweeter Christmas settings. SSAA a cappella. Medium-Difficult. SSAA, a cappella Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

SSAA, piano Published by: Treble Clef Music Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

This setting of Ave Regina c''lorum (Hail, O Queen of Heaven), one of the four Marian antiphons with origins in the 4th century, is ajoyous work for upper voices, suitable for children's or women's choirs. It is full of energy and, although it is largely homophonic, the rhythmic interplay between the parts creates interesting textures which combine with Arnesens recognisable, beautiful harmonic language. The jubilant outer sections contrast with a slower, more mysterious middle section where the text speaks of the Virgin Marys beauty. A joy to both sing and listen to, this new piece will make an attractive addition to a concert or service.

Silent night: This arrangement of the traditional carol by Franz Gruber and Joseph Muhr (translated into English by John Freeman Young) was written by Anna Lapwood and the Pembroke College GirlsÂ? Choir for their end of term party for the families of the choristers. The aim was to produce an arrangement manageable for the youngest choristers whilst stretching the older ones with some slightly jazzy harmonies. It was written in one 75-minute rehearsal, and performed to the parents straight after. The choir has written a new pieceat the end of every term since. Gaudete: This arrangement of the 16th-century carol was written during a full weekend of group composition with Anna Lapwood and the Pembroke College Girls' Choir, a process with which they had experimented previously. The choir decided to create rhythmic impetus and drive, which is delivered from the outset in the introductory material. This figure is repeated under the refrain for the first three verses, while the verses themselves are presented in simple unison. The final verse is harmonised and crescendos towards the uplifting key change for the final refrain, giving a sense of climax, which may be highlighted further with an optional tambourine.

Drawing from the Sami culture, a Nordic society dating from the 2nd century, here is a truly multicultural anthem. With a strong influence from the Sami “Yoik” tradition along with Norse elements and contemporary Western musical norms, this beautiful setting of the Latin text “Kyrie” is an amazing new setting of this traditional text. There is a lovely section for a soloist or small group with a clear line but with space for improvisation as well.

Simon Bolivar, a giant figure in the history of Latin America, dedicated a special place in his upbringing to Hipolita, a humble slave who was Bolivar's wet nurse and mother figure. Venezuelan poet laureate Andres Eloy Blanco captures a confrontational scene between Hipolita and Bolivar's mother. Venezuelan conductor and composer Maibel Troia translates the intensity of the moment in a highly rhythmic and dramatic composition that combines accented repeating melodies with chromatic harmonies, building towards a climatic finale. Gentry Publications is pleased to present one of the jewels of the 20th century Venezuelan choral repertoire.

â??Wide Worldâ? was commissioned by Sing Up and The Sage Gateshead for â??VoiceOver: Through Time and Spaceâ??. The music has a breathless excitement which matches the text, which centers around what the future holds and the idea that one can be whatever one decides to be. Younger singers could use this as a graduation piece, but it is suitable for many circumstances and ages. While technically SSAA, much of it is in two parts, with occasional divisi on each staff.
