Ed. Marte. Par VIVALDI ANTONIO. Vivaldi's classic work, arranged for Solo Voices, mixed chorus and orchestra. Edited by Mason Martens. Lost soon after the composer's death, little if anything was known of this spectacular choral setting until it's rediscovery in 1920, with the first modern performance finally happening in the autumn of 1939. Since then the work has become a proven favourite with choral societies, choirs and gala performances across the world. This vocal score includes a full Piano reduction of the orchestral material. / Niveau : Elémentaire / Répertoire / Chorale

Par WILLIAMS SANDY. Edited by Sandy Williams The first of three anthologies in the Touching the Pulse series, Worship and Where We Live questions the assumptions we all bring to the 'where' and 'how' of the lives of others. The editor's hope is that within the context of Christian worship, people will be helped to understand the life-situations of those whose experiences and emotions are different from their own - in effect, to see the world through the eyes of other Christians.
