French composer and teacher, Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was a prolific composer of the 20th century as a member of 'Les Six'. His compositions remain highly regarded, Jacob's Dreams being no exception. Milhaud's compositions areinfluenced by jazz and polytonality, as exemplified in Jacob's Dreams. Composed in 1949, Jacob's Dreams is a dance suite, written for Oboe, Violin, Viola, Cello and Double Bass. It is an alternative, exciting suite, based on thedreams of Jacob in the Bible and made up of five movements - 1) Jacob's Pillow, 2) The first dream (the angel's ladder), 3) Prophecy, 4) Second dream (fight with the dark angel and benediction), and 5) Israel (Hymn). Milhaud makesuse of variation in articulation, complex rhythms, chromaticism, accidentals, harmonics, altering tempos, variation in dynamics and a wide tessitura, amongst other aspects. Milhaud's Jacob's Dream is essential to all advancedensembles seeking modern and exciting repertoire.

UPC: 785147901501. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 69. Text by Marty Haugen.

Psalm 69, a psalm of deep lament, is given a stark treatment in this setting. It is a crying out by any community that witnesses injustice or persecution, whether first-hand or on a global level. In the words of the composer, “I imagined that…those singing might hear their own song of lament resonating and repeating from others in the assembly.”.

This profound collection for Palm Sunday, Triduum, and Easter, deeply infused with the passion of the season, evolves from the worship in the parishes where Rory Cooney and Gary Daigle have served over the years. Trumpet in the Morning, Rory Cooney's highly inspirational hymn for the millennium, is set to the haunting strains of an early-American melody. The text draws on jubilee imagery, especially from the book of Leviticus, but its point of view is distinctly modern. New hymns resound with the emotions of the season, including the solemn strains of Good Friday's Precious Blood and the truly uplifting title song, This Very Morning. Also included is a new concertato arrangement of Suzanne Toolan's classic, I Am the Bread of Life. Highlights of this collection include a stirring acclamation for baptism that has been expanded into a song for the sprinkling of the assembly. There is an upbeat Litany of Saints to accompany the baptismal procession to the font, appropriately based on When the Saints Go Marchin' In and incorporating the refrain from that enduring spiritual. One each of the following octavos: TRUMPET IN THE MORNING (G-4970) • QUIET STRENGTH (G-5011) • PALM SUNDAY PROCESSIONAL (G-5012) • LENTEN GOSPEL ACCLAMATION (G-5013) • PRECIOUS BLOOD (G-5014) • FRACTION RITE AND “TABLEPRAYER” (G-5015) • CONCERTATO ON “I AM THE BREAD OF LIFE” (G-5016) • PSALM 31: I PLACE MY LIFE (G-3613) • GENESIS READING FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5018C) • PSALM 118 (EASTER ALLELUIA) FOR THE GREAT VIGIL (G-5019) • A LITANY OF SAINTS: WHEN THE SAINTS COME MARCHIN’ IN (G-5020) • YOU HAVE PUT ON CHRIST (G-5021) • THIS VERY MORNING (G-5022).
