Included in the Oxford Book of Ballads and ascribed to an anonymous 15th-century author, the tale of Joly Joly Wat the shepherd who offers the infant Christ his 'pipe, skirt, tarbox and scripe' is among the best-loved of traditional Christmas verses. Its musical reference offers an obvious attraction to composers, and in Bryan Kelly's new setting a sprightly ritornello embellished with trills is the musical counterpart to the young herdsman's musical instrument on which 'he made such joy.' Written for Simon Williams and the Harrow Choral Society, Joly Joly Wat brings a fresh and lively note to seasonal choral concerts. The vocal writing is clear and straightforward, with occasional division of the sopranos, and an incisive and syncopated style that matches the shepherd-boy's haste to leave his flock and his faithful dog keeping his 'shepe fro ye corn' in order to visit the new-born Jesus.

1. Age and Youth (words by William Shakespeare) 2. Sun and Shadow (words by Thomas Campion) For amateur SATB chorus with divisions, Opposites by Rhian Samuel pairs a well-known poem by Shakespeare with a less familiar one by his contemporary, the lute-song composer Thomas Campion. In Shakespeare's much anthologised 'Crabbed Age and Youth' the decay of the former and vigour of the latter inspire contrasts of texture, register and dynamics to make a simple yet effective form culminating in the defiant tutti of 'Age, I do defy thee!' A meditation on the fruitless pursuit of passion, Campion's 'Follow thy fair sun, unhappy shadow' alternates a lilting refrain with dueting soprano and alto, and tenor and bass. Lasting around ten minutes, the two items would make an attractive and complementary element in any programme that explored the richness of English verse in choral song, whether in classical, romantic or contemporary repertoire.

Written for the choirs of Chichester, Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals, An Admonition to Rulers was composed shortly before Mathias's choral masterpiece, This Worlde's Joie, but has remained unpublished until now. Its powerful text from Wisdom 6 and 7, clothed in the composer's colouful , dramatic music, make it an ideal choice of anthem for Remembrance Sunday, or any occasion when justice, order, and the role of those who govern are the focus of worship.

Composed for the internationally regarded Choir of New College, Oxford, and its conductor Edward Higginbottom, Rhian Samuel's What Cheer? is a bright and uplifting new setting of words already familiar to singers from popular carols by William Walton and Peter Warlock. The scoring is for SATB choir and organ, with optional short solos for soprano, alto and bass. An eminent and established song composer, Samuel has brought to this text, originally from a 16th-century commonplace book compiled by Richard Hill, her own idiomatic response to the tradition of music for Christmas. Though written for one of the world's great vocal ensembles, What Cheer? is well within the range of accomplished amateur choirs, and the effective scoring for voices captures in ringing choral sounds the buoyant optimism of this poetic celebration of Christ's birth.

Gibbons seems to have been outside the process 'by which', wrote Joseph Kerman in The Elizabethan Madrigal, 'England first became sophisticated in the ways of Continental music.' These 20 pieces certainly, if differently, follow the pure line of William Byrd and are still of the old 'English' school. They include The Silver Swan and Dainty Fine Bird. CONTENTS Ah dear heart (SAA (or T) A (or T) B) Dainty fine bird (SST (or A) TB) Fair is the rose (SA (or S) ATB) Fair ladies that to love (SSAT (or A) B) Farewell all joys (SSA (or T) A (or T) B) How art thou thralled (SS (or A) TTB) I feign not friendship (SSAT (or A) B) I see Ambition never pleased (SSATB) I tremble not at noise of war (SSAT (or A) B) I weigh not fortuneAs frown (SSAT (or A) B) Lais now old (SATT (or A) B) Mongst thousands good (SSAT (or A) B) Nay let me weep (SA (or S) T (or A) T (or A) B) NeAer let the sun (SAT (or A) TB) Now each flowery bank of May (SST (or A) TB) O that the learned poets (SSA (or T) B ( or T) B) Silver Swan, The (SSA (or T) B (or T) B) Trust not too much fair youth (SST (or A) TB) What is our life?

First published in 1920, the Twelve Traditional Carols from Herefordshire have been entirely reset in a new and practical format, with the choral arrangements of the songs underlaid for all the verses and presented in open score alongside voice-and-keyboard versions for accompanied or solo performance. An acknowledged authority in the subject, Roy Palmer has provided fascinating notes on the texts and music. His preface places the collection in the context of Vaughan Williams's lifelong interest in folk song both as collector and creative artist, and of his collaboration with Ella Mary Leather, who did much to preserve the folklore heritage of her native county and of the gipsy tradition in particular. The Twelve Traditional Carols from Herefordshire have been recorded by baritone Derek Welton and pianist Iain Burnside on Albion Records ALBCD013.
