Par RODGERS SARAH. Choral settings of ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates’ from Psalm 24 are numerous, from that of the sixteenth-century Geneva Psalter of Claude Goudimel to the present day. Unsurprisingly so, as the text has many appropriate liturgical applications. In this jubilant setting, The King of Glory, Sarah Rodgers has provided church choirs of all abilities with a truly celebratory anthem that in its writing for SATB displays many elements of choral craft, from unison and two-part textures to a satisfyingly contrapuntal full harmony. The driving, rhythmic figure in the organ accompaniment underpins and uplifts the voices, and occasional harmonic juxtapositions add delightfully unexpected moments of colour. Importantly, with a proficient organist, the anthem can be prepared with just one or two rehearsals. It is certain to be of great appeal both to choirs and to congregations. / Date parution : 1905-07-10/ Feuillet / SATB et Orgue

The familiar Latin text has been set many times by many composers, but this dynamic and rhythmic composition rises above. Opens with a driving marcato theme, which is brilliantly contrasted by the expressive, legato B section. A dramatic choral work that delivers an impressive effect. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Daniel Elder's Fresh and Fearless is a special and unusual take on the idea of spring. The driving Piano part captures the energy and wonder of the new beginnings of the season. Excellent Vocal writing that is simple in its construction but complex in its sound. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

A powerful concert work featuring a strong piano accompaniment and driving, repetitive rhythms. Features an 'echo' section, and a closing soprano/tenor descant. Uncomplicated voice-writing with much repetition makes for easy learning, a Jay Althouse trademark. Effective dynamic changes. Original, English text has no sacred references and is well-suited for school concerts. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Arrangeur: Mac Huff. Par PASEK BENJ / PAUL JUSTIN (ARR.MC HUFF). For everyone who wants to stand out, who wants to celebrate who they are and who wants to step out of the shadows and into the spotlight, this song is for you. Celebrating the spirit that was PT Barnum and recognizing the birth of show business, this driving rock tune by Broadway sensations Pasek and Paul is an inspiration and a perfect opener for your show./ Recueil / SATB
