A little bit cheeky, a little bit naughty, but completely refreshing, multi-faceted composer Tim Minchin gives the 2011 West End adaptation of Roald Dahl's 1988 book Matilda a quick-witted and wry look into the hopes and desires of the friendly school children surrounding the title character. Bouncy and idiosyncratic, Emerson's arrangement captures the wonder!

I'm not givin' up . . . no, not yet. This lead single from Andy Grammer's album Naive is featured in the movie Five Feet Apart and gained YouTube fame among choir directors after Grammer's personal visit to PS22 in New York City. The lyrics speak of the power of friendship, the strength to fight, and the importance of support during difficult times. The catchy, syncopated chorus (with optional handclaps) makes great use of stacked harmony. Use the SoundTrax CD, or add guitar, bass, and drums to build your own band!

This familiar Christmas carol is given an ethereal setting by Brian L. Hanson. Supported by a gentle, lilting accompaniment, the strains of 'Still, Still, Still' interweave in both the accompaniment and choral parts. Soaring vocal lines, rich harmonies, and imaginative text painting point to the wonder and mystery of Christmas.
In the bleak midwinter, Frosty wind made moan,Earth stood hard as iron,Water like a stone;Snow had fallen, snow on snow,Snow on snow,In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.
Heaven cannot hold Him,Nor earth sustain;Heav'n and earth shall flee awayWhen He comes to reign;In the bleak midwinter, A stable place sufficedThe Lord God Almighty,Jesus Christ.
Still, still, still,One can hear the falling snow.For all is hushed, the world is sleeping,Holy star its vigil keeping.Still, still, still,One can hear the falling snow.
What can I give Him,Poor as I am?If I were a shepherd,I would bring a lamb;If I were a Wise Man,I would do my part;Yet what I can I give Him—What can I give Him?Give my heart.

Confident in its message yet humble of heart, this text speaks to our reliance on Calvary's cross and reminds us of the grace that is at the heart of our faith. The beautifully contoured tune is written in a gracious Celtic hymn style and is given nobility by dotted rhythms that punctuate the powerful text. The effective piano chords of the accompaniment contain many impressionistic color tones, giving the piece a modern sensibility. Strong!

Text: in Latin compiled from the charter of the University, and from older orations in praise of Basle by Bernhard Wyss.Publisher: Boosey & HawkesDifficulty level: 4 (for chorus)Britten's genius lifts this work above being just a worthy celebration of the 500th anniversary of the foundation of Basle University. It is tongue-in-cheek and mockingly non-academic while referring all the time to academic musical forms and formulae. It is written in two parts (everything is in the statutory Latin including the titles of the parts - Pars I and Pars II). The titles of the movements show Britten's intention to show off a wide variety of techniques. Here are some examples: Chorale/Alla Rovescio (the theme is given and responded to with the same melody upside down)/Recitativo/Tema seriale con fuga/Canone ed ostinato. There is a good deal of humour here.There are seven movements in Pars I and six in Pars II. The tenor soloist is given three florid recitatives, accompanied only by a piano, which act as bridges between other orchestrally accompanied movements. Of these the most noteworthy are the Arioso con canto popolare for soprano solo with tenors and basses who hum a student song; another terrific Britten scherzo; and a wonderfully raucous final pair of movements (Canon ed ostinato and Corale con canto) where Britten seems to be aping the Vivat Regina! cries in Parry's I was glad or encouraging the kind of noisy 'I'm from the best university' kind of student touchline shout. This has outrageously high notes for the tenors (top B) which further endorse this feeling. There are real echoes of the Spring Symphony (see separate entry) final movement here which are further underlined by the last section of the Cantata which brings in the bells, piano, huge percussion and the inevitable chorale in which the choir sings 'that a free academy may thrive in a free community, for ever the ornament and treasure of illustrious Basle'.This may not be Britten at his most soul-searching but, as always, there is plenty here to enjoy, especially if the work is not taken too seriously. It is a celebratory, occasional piece and it could be well taken up by other academic establishments celebrating big anniversaries. The chorus parts are not very difficult, though they do present challenges for the choir - not least in having tenors capable of those very high notes at the end. The Tema seriale con fuga is sinewy and needs careful tuning. It also has the subject regularly given upside down after its initial sounding by the basses. All good fun.Duration: 21 minutesPaul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
