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.

UPC: 038081447186. French. Clément Marot; music by Claudin de Sermisy; arr.; with English words; by Patrick M. Liebergen.
Excellent 3-part writing, right on the mark for young men and women. Teach the song in English before introducing the optional French text (an IPA pronunciation guide is included). When your students are ready to sing a cappella, consider eliminating the piano accompaniment---it works either way.

From master composer Antonio Vivaldi's Laetatus Sum (a setting of Psalm 121), this edition brings the brief work to today's choirs. Featuring an accessible Latin text and a lively optional cello part, this well-crafted arrangement is an ideal introduction to many of the conventions of Baroque style, including terraced dynamics and the alternation between a small group (or soloist) and the full ensemble.

Taken from Haydn's masterwork Heiligmesse, this shortened edition has also been transposed to make it more accessible. The setting of the compact Latin text explores many of the conventions of the Classical period, including energized homophonic choral lines, structured musical form, and stark dynamic contrasts.
