George and Ira Gershwin's famous tune Someone to Watch Over Me has been given a new voice in this arrangement for treble voices. Originally written for the musical Oh, Kay as an up-tempo vocal solo, this arrangement keeps the slow, ballad-like style that has been adopted as the preferred way to perform the piece. While the melody has remained untouched, for the most part, the piano accompaniment and vocal harmonies are completely new, but play homage to the overall aura that was originally captured almost 100 years ago.

Setting of a prayer by Mother Cornelia Connelly, foundress of the Society of the Holy Child Jesus in 1846 and latterly Mayfield School. In 1863 she was inspired to transform the ruins of the Old Palace of Mayfield into a girls’ school embodying the ethos of the Society; this was accomplished in 1872. The Cornelian ethos of the text make this piece suitable for a wide range of occasions, such as Easter, weddings and general thanksgiving. The choral writing is expressively scored in response to the poem; the organ part, for manuals throughout, is supportive and provides musical punctuation, with a short decorative postlude.

This gorgeous song has been recorded by some of the greatest singers of our time from 1918 to present. Kirby Shaw's arrangement gives us a slow swing, almost New Orleans-style feel and is a great show piece for any concert.

Johannes Brahms, born May 7, 1833 in Hamburg, Germany and died April 3, 1897 in Vienna where he lived most of his life. Brahms is one of the most famous composers of the Romantic period (1830-1920) although his music has many elements of the Classical period (1750 to 1830) as he followed many of the practices of Classical composers Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. In addition to being a composer, he was also well-known as a pianist and conductor. Brahms began writing the Requiem (also known as the German Requiem, Opus 45) soon after his mother died in February 1865 which caused him great grief. In April of that year, he completed the first, second and fourth movements and completed the rest of the seven movements in May of 1868. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place (Wie Lieblich sind Deine Wohnungen) was the fourth movement of his seven movement work.   Originally written for SATB voices in E-flat major, this seamlessly similar arrangement for SAB voices, now in C major, affords all voices comfortable ranges. Although, it is approximately 5 minutes and 30 seconds in length, it is perceived to be much shorter because of the contrasting stylistic sections within the work. How Lovely is Thy Dwelling Place is one of the most beautiful choral pieces by Brahms, perhaps in the entire Romantic period.   Although Brahms wrote the original piano reduction, in this edition, it has been made more accessible for pianists with a wide range of skills. Pay close attention to the dynamic markings throughout the piece, making them apparent to the voices, conductor, and audience. I hope you enjoy singing this beautiful and timeless piece by Johannes Brahms! Russell Robinson, Arranger        .
