Coldplay's biggest hit to date this pop juggernaut manages to marry sweeping melodies with repetitive textures reminiscent of Steve Reich or Philip Glass-esque minimalism. The rich overlapping vocal lines split into as many as nine different parts at times (in addition to the tenor solo) but the repeating patterns keep it from being challenging.

Le caractère fort et audacieux de cette courte pièce est immédiatement évident dans les exclamations à l'unisson de la fanfare d'ouverture. Une section imitative suit avec chaque voix chantant une mélodie indépendante, encore caractérisé par des rythmes similaires et compatibles contours expressions. La pièce se termine avec un groupe épaisseur de tons et une courte exclamation finale du texte à l'unisson.Le tour vieux 'Viva la Musica' est la source du texte et le style a été inspiré par 'Viva Tutti' et d'autres semblables, bien connus, des chansons robustes. Le texte est très répétitif et il devrait y avoir un sens de la flottabilité, la clarté et la légèreté dans l'articulation. Un rythme soutenu, une diction claire, précise et ensemble est important, comme c'est un sentiment énergique du rythme. Bien que le chant est plein et vigoureux, il devrait y avoir une qualité dansant. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) A Cappella

These three a cappella movements each originate from different largescale compositions, some for fairly substantial forces. In these works, when the focus is turned on the essence of a statement, I have (probably out of pure instinct) permitted all adjuncts - such as subtle orchestral accompaniment, opulent percussion, soloists, electronics etc. - to fall silent and tried to express myself through pure choral singing. There is a saying originating from the Judeo-Christian tradition of thought: 'The last shirt has no pockets.' Perhaps this can also be applied within the field of music when one is attempting to penetrate to the essentials. Harald Weiss / Choeur Mixte A Cappella

Par HINDEMITH PAUL. These canons now published for the first time document Hindemith's fondness of composing little parodistic works with a wink on certain occasions. More than 30 artistic postcard-sized works were written by the composer. In strict counterpoint, he used them to convey season's greetings, congratulations on birthdays and anniversaries, and thanks to friends, colleagues and cultural institutions. Some of these witty and entertaining pieces have been released on recordings several times, but they have not been available in printed editions yet. Our first edition now enables every choir and every small singing group to find a canon of the appropriate level of difficulty and perform it on many occasions with great success with the audience./ Répertoire / Choeur a Cappella

Denmark Revisited - Danish choral works for mixed voices a cappella.The University Choir Lille MUKO and soprano Else Torp conducted by Jesper Grove Jørgensen.For many years now there has been a broad international interest in performing Danish choral works not least from the 20th century but often the Danish lyrics have been a hindrance in realising this goal outside Denmark. With this in mind we have thought it important to make Danish choral music more available through the release of selected works in which the Danish text is translated into English. With the present choice we have endeavoured to present works which fullydemonstrate the wide range and originality of Danish choral music: the particular lyrical Danish tone of Svend S. Schultz and Jørgen Jersild; the original simplicity of Pelle Gudmundsen-Holmgreen; the characteristically Danish late romanticism of P.E. Lange-Müller and Rued Langgaard; and the music of composers with their own particular musical idiom such as Vagn Holmboe Bernhard Lewkovitch and Bo Holten. We have also tried to choose works with lyrics by writers that are specifically Danish in origin including Hans Christian Andersen Johannes V. Jensen and Tove Ditlevsen. We hope that this release will help to spread knowledge and understanding of Danish choral music outside Denmark.(Jesper Grove Jørgensen)ContentP. E.
