5 Continents. Cette collection par Gwyn Arch de dix chansons folkloriques peut-锚tre petit, mais cinq continents sont repr茅sent茅s au sein de ces 76 pages, et chaque continent.Du Mexique (Am茅rique du Sud) vient de La Cucaracha (le cafard), une chanson populaire en langue espagnole avec une m茅lodie m茅morable et Cielito Lindo qui est tr茅 par les Mexicains comme une sorte d'hymne national alternative. Le continent africain est repr茅sent茅 par une chanson 脿 partir de la Tanzanie, Malaika, et une autre Afrique de l'Ouest se r茅jouir dans le titre Jikela Emaweni hamba sia. Les deux chansons ont 茅t茅 associ茅s 脿 la c茅l猫bre chanteuse sud-africaine et militant des droits civiques Miriam Makeba, et de nouvelles paroles (en anglais) ont 茅t茅 fournis par Stuart Smith. En Russie (Europe) musique folklorique est 茅troitement li茅e 脿 la vie du village et ses traditions. Kalinka est la r锚verie d'un jeune homme sous un pin, tandis que le bouleau Little 茅tait un symbole de la beaut茅 en Russie sovi茅tique. Le quatri猫me continent est l'Asie. S'il ya une chanson juive connue par les Juifs et non-Juifs, il doit 锚tre Hava Nagilah. Tum Balalaika est 茅galement un traditionnel yiddish, mais il est d'origine juive russe. Le Folkmusic des Maoris de Nouvelle-Z茅lande (Oc茅anie) est principalement associ茅e 脿 la guerre chants appel茅 Haka, mais Hine e Hine et Pokarekare Ana r茅v猫lent l'influence des colons milieu du 19e si猫cle britanniques. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

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./ R茅pertoire / Choeur a Cappella

Par PITTS ANTONY. The Naxos Book of Carols is collection of both the very old and the very new. Commissioned by the leading international classical music label, Naxos, these twenty-four arrangements of traditional and original carols tell the Christmas story - from the hope of Advent and the message of the Angels, to the humble birth of the baby in Bethlehem and the coming of the King of kings. This collaboration between Naxos and Faber Music has brought this volume, containing all 24 carols in four narrative sequences, in new arrangements for SATB choir with minimum divisi. There is a good mix of accompanied and a capella (even the latter have optional accompaniments) and there is practical guidance on how the carols may be used by congregations, as well as choirs with varied resources. The original CD, performed by the award-winning choir Tonus Peregrinus and directed by the composer Antony Pitts, is included within the book making it incredible value for money. / Choral Music / Recueil / Voix Mixtes

Arranged for SATB, here are five all-time classic Christmas songs with a warm and nostalgic feeling.O Holy Night and Silent Night both originated in 19th century Europe while Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was introduced by Judy Garland in a 1944 Hollywood musical.

Conceived as a nostalgic number, White Christmas was a slow starter but went on to become a huge success and, for many, the ultimate Christmas song.These arrangements lend themselves to being performed separately or in seamless succession for a Classic Christmas recital audiences will love. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Par . Until now, anyone looking for music on the theme of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit for church services and concerts usually had to do so in larger collections that cover the entire church year or parts of it. With Music for the Spirit, there is now a choirbook specifically for the feast of Pentecost for the first time, closing a gap for an important feast of the Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican churches. Over 500 years of choral music from Renaissance to the modern age are covered here with compositions from the German-, English-, Italian- and French-speaking regions. Almost all the great composers of European sacred music are represented, from Palestrina over Byrd, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Gounod, and Bruckner to Reger, Parry, Stanford, and Distler. With the chronological order, the development of the genre of the Pentecost motet and sacred choral music in general can be traced easily. All pieces can be performed by mixed choir a cappella or with organ accompaniment. In some cases, the accompaniment has been supplemented or arranged by the editor Stephen Harrap, in individual cases also the choral parts, e.g. when the original was composed for male voices only. The scoring ranges from three to eight voices while the length and difficulty of the pieces likewise cover a broad range for a wide variety of choirs and ensembles. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ R茅pertoire / Choeur Mixte et Orgue
