These delightful anthems come at a time of great interest in Celtic music and literature. Dr. Greene has composed characterful and colorful music for each of these poems that will be a joy to learn. The Tree of Life is set quite reflectively with a flute obbligato that captures the elegiac text. Patrick s Evening Hymn has long phrase lines and a chant-like flow between the organ and voices. Caedmon s Hymn is set as a lively vigorous dance that emphasizes the strength of this text. The keyboard parts are discreet and supportive throughout and the voice ranges are quite moderate in scope. These short anthems are winning additions to the SAB repertory.

Colin Meloy from the Indie Folk Rock band The Decemberists has written this beautiful song. Using winter as both the literal season and as a metaphor for losing and longing for a loved one, this song is great for young singers as they work to interpret song lyrics. There are no wrong answers as they dig into this wonderful song.

With words by Oliver Wendell Holmes, commissioned for the National Peace Jubilee held in Boston in 1869, and original, uplifting music, this work speaks to a nation's desire for healing and reconciliation. Though alluding to Christmas in the final stanza, the work is excellent for ecumenical, patriotic and community performances.

Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach is rightly regarded as the most important composer of the German art song before Schubert. He set new standards in the interplay of cantabile melodies and expressive piano accompaniment. He was also in personal contact with the great poets of his time - including Gleim, Kleist and Lessing - and shared their interest in the close relationship between literary and musical poesy. In his late years Bach planned a comprehensive selection of his songs, but the project was not completed. This edition follows the original manuscript of his Polyhymnia collection.
