As director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, Howard Arman has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du frohliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du frohliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus. The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It's a Birthday and Wasn't That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain't That a Rockin' gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance.

• Where can your hiding be
• But have been found again
• Of flowers and emeralds sheen
• Now, as she longaspired
• Rejoice, my love, with me

Canciones entre el alma y el esposo is a poem consisting of forty verses, reproduced below. Havingpreviously set two sections of it as separate a cappella choruses and one fortwo countertenors andstrings, I've long wanted to make a complete setting of the work and, by arranging the countertenorpiece for a cappella chorus and setting the remaining verses as two more anthems for the same forces,I'vecompleted the task. The five pieces can of course still be performed separately, or brought togetheras a twenty-five minute setting of Roy Campbell's translation from the original Spanish of this vivid andintense poem.Geoffrey Burgon, May 2008.

Bruckner's setting of the 23rd Psalm (22 in the Vulgate count) is still quite unknown. Bruckner uses the German text version by Joseph Franz Allioli instead of the well-known Luther version. Accompanied by the piano, the piece for choir and solo (choir solos possible) begins with a pastoral section in 12/8, changes into a fugue, and ends with an a cappella chorale.
