This is a wonderful collection of klezmer music, inspired by the Jewish dances and songs of the klezmorim from Eastern Europe - from the lyrical HORA to the fast, compelling FREILACH. Some of the pieces have a second part ad libitum - for playingtogether or for variation in a repeat. For the accompaniment, chord symbols have been added and on the included CD there are complete versions as well as play-along versions of all pieces, played live by genuine klezmer musicians.Een prachtige verzameling klezmermuziek, ge nspireerd op de joodse dansen en liederen van de klezmorim uit Oost-Europa: van de lyrische Hora tot de snelle, meeslepende Freilach.

Voor de begeleiding zijn akkoordsymbolen toegevoegd - en op de bijgevoegde cd staan van alle stukken mooie demo- én play-along-versies, die live zijn ingespeeld door rasechte klezmermuzikanten.ALL TIME KLEZMERS ist eine wundervolle Sammlung von Klezmermusik, inspiriert von den jüdischen Tänzen und Liedern der Klezmorim aus Osteuropa: vom lyrischen Hora bis hin zum schnellen, unwiderstehlichen Freilach.

This brief a cappella choral miniature is a reflection on the Transfiguration of the Lord, a Scripture passage observed by many Christian traditions just prior to or during the season of Lent (as well as on the Feast of the Transfiguration, August 6). Set in a largely homophonic texture, the piece sparkles with occasional unexpected and delightful chords highlighting the wonder of the Transfiguration.

Ian Venables' setting of four poems of A.E. Housman originally scored for tenor solo, string quartet and piano, here arranged for tenor and piano. Lyrical pieces of intermediate difficulty, sometimes elegiac, sometimes angry. Written in 2004 but very much in the English song tradition of Finzi, Gurney and Warlock these are therefore ideal recital companions to those composers.

These three a cappella movements each originate from different largescale compositions, some for fairly substantial forces. In these works, when the focus is turned on the essence of a statement, I have (probably out of pure instinct) permitted all adjuncts - such as subtle orchestral accompaniment, opulent percussion, soloists, electronics etc. - to fall silent and tried to express myself through pure choral singing. There is a saying originating from the Judeo-Christian tradition of thought: 'The last shirt has no pockets.' Perhaps this can also be applied within the field of music when one is attempting to penetrate to the essentials. Harald Weiss.

Like almost all of his predecessors, the long-time choir director at St. Thomas Church in Leipzig, Georg Christoph Biller, has composed a plethora of major sacred choral works. The fact that the passionate choir director is perfectly familiar with the human voice also shows in his arrangement of Martin Luther's chorale 'Verleih uns Frieden' for four-part men's a-cappella choir (TTBB). This church music gem, which is ideal for church services and can well be mastered even by amateur choirs, reveals once again Biller's credo of conveying a message with his music that can be understood by everyone. He uses a clear tonal language which combines tradition and modern music in an artistic, yet at the same time intuitive way.

HYMNS OF WORSHIP takes a bold, fresh look into the heart of today’s original songs of worship; foundational songs of faith... the hymns of the Church. Hymns are an expression of our adoration of the only true God. Through hymns we praise Him for His mighty acts, exalt Him in worship, give thanks for His love and mercy, and declare His wisdom, power and majesty. In hymns we contrast the sinful nature of man with the redeeming nature of a loving God. And with hymns we sing; with loftiness of concept and language rich in reverence and dignity, we sing! Hymns give voice to our beliefs, causing our spirits to rise, soaring on wings of faith.WORD Music Publications is honored to introduce this hallmark new book for choir, soloists and orchestra, arranged by the creative team of David Wise and David Shipps. We believe in these powerful songs of the Church. We believe in the tradition of singing Hymns. We are committed to keeping these songs active in the musical repertoire oftoday’s Church. We believe in their relevance. We believe in the truth of the doctrine and theology taught through the lyrics of these timeless songs. It is our hope that the compelling new arrangements found in Hymns of Worship will instill in you a new vision for these songs. And we pray that they will inspire you and your choir to sing them with a new voice and a fervent and renewed passion for declaring the greatness of our God!

Appalachian fiddle music, based on the musical traditions of the people who settled in the mountainous regions of the southeastern United States, is widely-known and played throughout North America and parts of Europe because of its complex rhythms, its catchy melodies, and its often-ancient-sounding stylistic qualities. The authors explore the lives and music of 43 of the classic Appalachian fiddlers who were active during the first half of the 20th century. Some of them were recorded commercially in the 1920s, such as Gid Tanner, Fiddlin? John Carson, and Charlie Bowman. Some were recorded by folklorists from the Library of Congress, such as William Stepp, Emmett Lundy, and Marion Reece. Others were recorded informally by family members and visitors, such as John Salyer, Emma Lee Dickerson, and Manco Sneed. All of them played throughout most of their lives and influenced the growth and stylistic elements of fiddle music in their regions. Each fiddler has been given a chapter with a biography, several tune transcriptions, and tune histories. To show the richness of the music, the authors make a special effort to show the musical elements in detail, but also acknowledge that nothing can take the place of listening. Many of the classic recordings used in this book can be found on the web, allowing you to hear and read the music together.

New from Rory Cooney comes a glorious collection of music for the Advent and Christmas seasons. Many of the selections in this collection use tunes gathered from the traditions of various European cultures. Rory arranges these beautiful melodies and adds his own evocative texts, creating nostalgic yet new expres- sions of the Christmas story. The jewel in this Christmas crown is surely Rory’s SAB arrangement of “In the Bleak Midwinter.†It begins gently, quoting the first stanza of the Christina R ossetti text, then branches out into Rory’s own moving exploration of Christ’s incarnation. The “Christmas Gloriaâ€â€” based on the familiar French carol “Angels We Have Heard on Highâ€â€”employs the text from the 2010 R evised Order of Mass. In this arrangement the third stanza of the prayer soars above the final refrain as an exhilarating soprano descant. Much of the newer music in this collection can be done a cappella. To enhance the texture, include the piano accompaniment, strings, and flute. Perfect for any choir large or small, the songs in Like No God We Had Imagined will add sparkle to your holiday liturgies. Contents: Friends in Christ, Rejoice, My Soul Gives Glory, The Advent Herald, Sing We Maranatha, In the Bleak Midwinter, Tomorrow Shall Be My Dancing Day, Still, Still, Still, In the Stillness of the Night, Christmas Gloria, Psalm 96: Christmas Midnight, Song at the Manger, Carol of the Stranger, Lullaby, Little One, Rise Up, Shepherd, and Follow, I Saw Three Ships, Light in the Darkness.

The Spiritual Concerto for violin and string orchestra by Helmut W. May has everything that is necessary to become a repertory piece for -young violin soloists: of medium difficulty, rewarding, despite the comtemporary tonal language that creates a deep poetic background with the help of individual sounds, simple technical means and at times with vigour full of brio. The concerto is characterised by the spiritual I want to die easy which leads to a new, formally unconventional world of music both as to melody and as to contents: Afro-American features merge with European concerto tradition.

Safe within their cocoons, butterflies only become vulnerable when they emerge to enchant the world with their beauty. Madama Butterfly has been breaking hearts for over a century with its tragic tale of an innocent Japanese girl who abandons her faith and her family to marry an American naval lieutenant. Giacomo Puccini created a dozen operas, many of them rooted in his fascination with exotic lands and foreign cultures. Inspired by a London performance of one-act play by American playwright David Belasco, the composer developed an emotionally charged musical score to accompany this tale of devotion, tradition, and sacrifice. The opera's most famous aria, Un bel dà vedremo (One beautiful day, we will see), in which the heroine professes her faith in her lover, ranks among the most popular works in the soprano repertoire. Dovunque al mondo (Throughout the world) characterizes Butterfly's American officer with a musical theme based on The Star Spangled Banner. Other highlights include the endings of each of the three acts: the extended love duet Vogliatemi bene (Love me, please.); the wordless beauty of Coro a bocca chiusa, (Humming Chorus); and the climactic aria Con onor muore (To die with honor). This authoritative 1906 edition of one the world's most beloved operas features the original Italian lyrics.
