Orchestral work commissioned by the BBC and premiered by the BBC Symphony Orchestra under the direction of Andrew Davis The Barbican Hall November 1992.Quoting Lindberg: 'After having written a Piano Concerto in 1991preceded by three works for different orchestral effectives (Kinetics Marea and Joy) I felt that I had come to an end with a certain musical expression and also compositional technique. All these works were based upon anextended chaconne principle with chord chains cycling around undergoing constant transformation and being articulated in a very gestural way. The musical paradox and evidently also the challenge was the discrepancy between abrick-like method expressed in a world of gestures (with all difficulties involved in conceiving music out of phrases) aiming at a continuity in terms of progression and development.After the Piano Concerto in the autumn of1991 I strongly felt that I couldn't continue in that direction anymore. I started to work on a project called Corrente for 16 players as a study for the full orchestra version entitled Corrente II.In order to bring theharmonic and rhythmic world closer to each other I abandoned the chaconne principle and based the harmony on different scale aggregates. By combining these scales and by filtering or by enhancing them with additional pitchesbased on more acoustically oriented views of the scales by considering them as partials of virtual fundamentals I was able to work in a rich harmonic world without actually having to do harmonic transformations and progressions.The rhythmic material was based on pattern figures with a rather kaleidoscopic approach of repetition and variation.By combining these pattern figures and scales aggregates I wanted to give the musical expression a 'narrative'sense of streams and directions moving around in different orchestral constellations.Corrente II for symphony orchestra is based on the same material as the piece for chamber orchestra. As the timbral palette and the mass

As heard on the original soundtrack this stunning orchestral suite recalls one of Alan Silverestri's most memorable and moving scores. Including the heartwarming feather theme Calvin Custer's adaptation of the original suite isan outstanding choice for orchestra who love to program film music.

Bach's Majestic St. John Passion is one of the most moving of all settings of the events leading to Christ's crucifixion death and resurrection.

The work appears in full score with bar-numbered movements for easy reference. Lists of instruments and voices.Reprint of the Breitkopf & Härtel 1863 edition.

Orchestration-Song of the Shadows is an invitation to contemplate the love and sacrifice of Christ. Tracing in song the last days of the Savior this deeply moving work is truly an opportunity to worship. Choirs of every level will find it within their scope.

Weaving together several passages of scripture with the “Great Commission ” J. Paul Williams has written a moving and inspirational text for missions and evangelism. Joseph Martin's majestic accompaniment and lyricalmelody make this a memorable anthem for any occasion where the focus is on service. Accessible to large or small choirs.

Carl Nielsen (1865-1931) was a Danish musician often seen as his country’s greatest composer. While his operas and songs have become embedded within the cultural heritage in his native Denmark internationally he is better known for his symphonies and concertos distinguished by his prominent use of Brass instruments and dramatic changes in tonality.His Symphony No.3 (Op. 27 FS. 60) was composed in 1911 and is often subtitled Sinfonia Espansiva after the tempo designation of the first movement. Somewhat unusually the second movement includes vocal parts: wordless solos for Soprano and Baritone. Throughout Nielsenexpertly contrasts sections of blissful calm with passages of incredible angst creating a wonderfully moving masterpiece.

Score-'RiverRun' was Steven Albert's third work inspired by the writing of James Joyce. The opening movement ‘Rain Music’ is meant to convey the origins of a river. After the sharply accented chords of the movement's introduction themusic becomes quieter suggesting an atmosphere of expectancy. The lightly scored second movement ‘Leafy Speafing’ has a languid cadenza-like opening on alto flute followed by a more tightly focused thematic idea from thesolo viola. The two instruments then engage in a quiet dialogue against the softly changing chords.The third movement ‘Beside the Rivering Waters’ is a fragmented march and scherzo. It opens with a children'ssong. The march for the pit band follows and we are engulfed in a boozy wake. The scherzo brings a return of the current then the march returns abruptly followed by the children's tune - which is in turn transformedinto a raucous pub song. Throughout the fourth movement ‘RiversEnd’ musical ideas from the preceding movements are recalled. Night is falling and the river is moving quietly into darkness. As it approaches the open sea itsmomentum builds and it soon becomes a torrent spilling into the ocean. The work ends quietly.

Elgar’s Cello Concerto Op.85 from 1919 was the last major work of this great English composer. It is a particularly complex but immediately moving work making an appropriate epilogue to Elgar's career and life. A touching creation of dillusion and compassion at times unstable but vibrant and colourful throughout. Eulenberg's celebrated and highly authoritative miniature score is the definitive reference source for study performance preparation or simply for those with a love of the great orchestral works.

Recorded by Josh Groban this inspirational song reminds us of the importance of giving in life and for all we have to be thankful. The moving arrangement is beautifully orchestrated adding to the rich vocal harmonies that set the exquisite melody and text. Perfect for every choir any time of year including Christmas.

Orchestration-Here is a breathtaking Holy Week offering that will echo through hearts during that important time of corporate reflection. From the best-selling cantata A Time for Alleluia this lovely version of an American folk hymn issensitively joined with Alexander's classic text on the message of the cross. Deeply moving!

The work opens with a dramatic brass fanfare before moving to a spirited allegro. The slower middle portion is rather jazzy in character with a trumpet solo. After several statements of this lush song the faster music returns before the opening fanfare reprises closing the piece in dramatic fashion. Includes generous cross-cuing to enable performances with smaller instrumentations.

Orchestration-The musical is narrated by Luke as he writes of Jesus's last days on earth. Highly effective when presented by choir and narrator but naturally suited for full staging. It may be performed in its entirety or in segments atseveral services. The words and music of this new Pepper Choplin cantata are very dynamic and will immerse the audience in the passion and intensity of the major events of Holy Week. As the character of Luke is deeply touched bythe story he is recording the choir and soloists assume his role in the drama. Once Upon a Tree was written for Pepper's own church Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh North Carolina. The choir rehearsed the musical asit was being written and played a special role as the work was formed and perfected. It will be a profoundly moving experience for choirs and congregations.
