Volume 2. Par GADE NIELS WILHELM. With only one exception, Gade composed his works for male choir with accompaniment for Danish choral societies, numerous of which had been founded across the country since 1839. These societies were often closely connected with professional associations, making them equally important for musical and social matters. This volume contains five occasional works for male choir with accompaniment that were composed between around 1838 and 1883. Three of them were intended for church usage (two funerals and one wedding). Among the works for equal voices and accompaniment in this volume, 'Aarstidsbilleder” op. 51 is the longest. It was composed for the women of The Music Society in Copenhagen and conducted by Gade himself during the 1871/72 seasons. The appendix contains works that were completed, but do not allow for definitive decisions regarding their final presentation. / Date parution : 2019-06-21/ Répertoire / Chant

Hymnes. Par GREEN FRED PRATT. With commentary by Bernard Braley This book, published in 1982, contains the texts of 209 hymns and ballads of this well-loved Methodist hymnwriter who died in 2000 and tells many of the stories behind them. The book has proved useful - not only as a book of reference - but as a book of excellent devotional material for the everyday reader. Some may recall Fred's ''Hymn for the Nation'' sung in churches up and down the land on the occasion of the Queen's Silver Jubilee - a good choice for the Golden Jubilee in 2002! It is God who holds the nations in the hollow of his hand; It is God whose light is shining in the darkness of the land; It is God who builds his City on the Rock and not the sand: May the living God be praised!
