Village Gossip is the first movement of Czech composer Antonin Dvorak's cycle 'Five Choruses For Male Voice'.
The cycle of five choruses is set toLithuanian folk texts translated by Frantisek Ladislav Celakovsky and is written for unaccompanied male choir (TTBB Voices). The title page of the autograph score bears the note: Composed on the journey from Prague to Vienna,12thof December 1878.
The individual parts of the cycle present a vibrant palette of moods, from the balladic 'Dwellers by the Sea' to the final, light-hearted 'The Sparrow's Feast'. The songs' melodies echothe spirit of folk songs, and the composer used simple but colourful harmonies and chose a strophic form.

Lodovico Grossi da Viadana (c.1560 - 1627) was an Italian composer, teacher, and Franciscan Friar. He is known for the important contribution he made to the development of Baroque music, being one of the first people touse figured bass as a means of notating a basso continuo line. From 1594 onwards he was choirmaster at various Italian cathedrals, when his O Sacrum Convivium was most probably written. It is an arrangement of theancient Christian prayer for TTBB Male Voice Chorus, and is a perfect anthem for any Eucharist service.

Jacob de Haan wrote this arrangement for concert band, fanfare band and brass band and optional male voice choir. The original carol was written by the Austrian composer and organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). He was asked to write Silent Night on the 24th of December 1818 by the priest of the Church of St. Nicolas in Oberndorf, who had himself written the text. It is a romantic carol, with nuances of contemporary Austrian folk and Italian pastorale music.Jacob de Haan maakte dit arrangement voor blaasorkest met eventueel een mannenkoor. Het originele kerstlied werd geschreven door de Oostenrijkse componist en organist Franz Gruber (1787-1863). Stille Nacht componeerde hij op 24 december 1818 in opdracht van de priester van de Sint Nikolaaskerk van Oberndorf, die de tekst voor dit lied zelf had geschreven.Stille Nacht is romantisch van karakter, heeft trekken van de Oostenrijkse volksmuziek van die tijd, evenals enkele kenmerken van de Italiaanse pastorale muziek.Stille Nacht wurde vom österreichischen Komponisten und Organisten Franz Gruber am 24. Dezember 1818 im Auftrag des Priesters der St. Nikolaus-Kirche in Oberndorf geschrieben. Wer hätte damals geahnt, dass dieses Lied mit seinem romantischen Charakter einmal in 150 Sprachen übersetzt auf der ganzen Welt gesungen werden würde? Jacob de Haan schrieb dieses gelungene Arrangement für Blasorchester mit Männerchor ad. lib. Le 24 décembre 1818, Franz Gruber (1787-1863), compositeur et organiste autrichien, mettait en musique un texte rédigé par le prêtre de sa paroisse. Il ne se doutait pas que sa composition deviendrait l’un des noëls les plus célèbres. Stille Nacht (Douce Nuit) est un chant romantique et lyrique alliant les caractéristiques de la musique traditionnelle autrichienne d’alors, celles des pastorales italiennes.

The Mass in B flat, op. 172, dates from 1892 and was published in two authentic versions. The instrumental accompaniment can be played either by an ensemble of wind instruments or by organ. Between Gloria and Credo Rheinberger placed a powerfully expressive a cappella Ave Maria, probably due to the fact that the Mass was first performed on a major feast day of the Virgin Mary: on the feast of Purification (Candlemas) in Breslau Cathedral. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5017200.

Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir.Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate.Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices.The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace.Gavin Bryars.
