Christians are pilgrims, and different aspects of our journey are celebrated throughout the liturgical year via the lens of Christ’s life, death and resurrection. “Posada†reminds us of the longing—experienced both by Christ and us—for place and shelter. This piece is ideal for use in various prayer services during the final days of the Advent season, calling us not merely to prepare a place for the stranger, but also to offer a welcome worthy of the Holy Family!

This piece by Benjamin M. Culli paints a beautiful image of heaven. Arranged for SATB and piano, Culli treats the text with a lyrical tune and supportive piano accompaniment. The piece builds and modulates in the middle section, then finishes quietly in the original key. A moving selection for All Saints' Day.
A rest remains for all the weary;Arise, sad heart, and grieve no more;Though long the way, and dark and dreary,It opens to the golden shore.Before His throne the Lamb will lead you,On heav'nly pastures He will feed you,Cast off your burden, come with haste;Soon toil and strife will be unraveled,The weary way that you have traveled,Sweet is the rest that you will taste.
The Father's house has many a dwelling,And there for you a place will be.With perfect love His heart is wellingWho loved you from eternity.His precious blood the Lamb has givenThat you may share the joys of heaven,And now He calls out far and near:'You weary souls, cast off your sorrow;My light shines bright upon the morrow.Come, sweetest rest awaits you here!'
There rest and peace in endless measureWill be ours through eternity;No grief, no care, will mar our pleasure,And untold joy our lot will be.Oh, had we wings to hasten yonder—No more this sinful world to ponder—To join the glad, triumphant band!Arise, my soul, forget all sadness,For peace awaits you, joy and gladness—The perfect rest and promised land.

Since an invitation to the Emerald Isle, Harald Genzmer (1909-2007) has been fascinated with the local tradition and culture. Therefore, after the songs 'Irische Harfe', he wrote another cycle for mixed choir at a ripe old age: 'Lieder einer Insel'. In three parts with ten choral settings altogether, the composer tells stories from the mythology of the Emerald Isle in the Irish poems, in the texts of old and modern lyricists, describes emotions, desires, laments: from 'Weissagung Cathbads' to 'Lobgesang der Gerechten', from the bright 'Monch und seinem Lieblingskater' to the sad lament 'Das Lied in einem Madchenherzen', from the tender 'Anrufung des Friedens' to the contemplate 'Abendgebet'. The freely tonal settings range from simple, chordal-homophonic via declamatory to expressive. Of intermediate difficulty, these choral miniatures are suitable not only for professional ensembles but also for ambitious amateur choirs.

Per Nørgård's Maya Dances (-for her unborn son) for mixed chorus SATB (1979/1992) - English version.
Original Danish text by Ole Sarvig - from the opera Siddharta. English vocal version by Paula Hostrup-Jesse.The two melodies of MAYA DANCES was originally composed for children’s chorus and mixed choir with orchestra, respectively, as part of the opera SIDDHARTA (1974-79). The children’s song (bars 1-27) was later incorporated into the first movement of the choral work WIE EIN KIND for mixed chorus from 1979-80 (printed edition WH 29552). The presentchoral version for SATB from 1992, edited by Ivan Hansen and the composer, is a combination of the two above mentioned songs from the opera. In the opera the children’s singing game describes the sad Queen Maya’s longing for a child. She senses the coming of a new age and is enlivened by dancing a fertility dance for the unborn prince Siddharta. Two themes alternate: the straightforward song of the children, and the comment of Prajapati (Maya’s sister) on Queen Maya’s dance.

The “Missa brevis in E flat minor†for mixed choir a cappella has been composed in the tradition of the short Mass (without Credo) and can be easily managed by most choirs. Thanks to its conciseness, it is suitable for use in church services, while its delightful harmonic layout and consciously simple melodies (with clear allusions to folk music) also make it perfect for concert performance.“My music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to offer. This has led people to describe my music as ‘so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings’ but also as ‘the happiest classical music that we have ever heard‘.My compositions are almost all sacred. They express not only my own faith but also my appreciation and respect for the timeless texts that have been used for centuries and centuries.“MÃ¥rten Jansson (b. 1965), elected member of the Föreningen svenska tonsättare (the Society of Swedish Composers), graduated from the Royal College of Music, Stockholm (KHM) with an MFA degree in Music Education, Dalcroze Eurhythmics and Voice. For more than ten years he was the music director and conductor of “Carmenâ€, one of the most prominent womens’ vocal ensembles in Sweden. He currently teaches choral conducting and music theory as well as giving vocal tuition at the Bolandgymnasiet and Musikskolan in his home town of Uppsala.Please find a recording of the “Missa brevis†performed by the Ensemble Sonoro, Neil Ferris (Conductor) by clicking on Multimedia.

Most notably performed by Liza Minnelli, this Kander & Ebb classic returned to Broadway in the musical New York, New York.

Sometimes you're happy, and sometimes you're sad, but the world goes round.

Deck the hall! Trim the tree! Light the lights! It's Christmastime! And that means it's time to sing! We love to sing at Christmas more than any other time of year. Carols, hymns, funny songs, sad songs, songs about the Christmas story and about the Savior, songs about being home for the holidays, songs about reindeer that can fly and mistletoe and pumpkin pie, and everything in-between! We sing because it's a season of joy. We sing because it is a tradition. We sing because laughter fills the air, chestnuts are roasting on the street corner, bell-ringers are collecting for charities, sidewalk Santas are Ho-Ho-Ho-ing, and children everywhere (and some adults, too) are thrilled with the sights and sounds of that most wonderful time of the year! 'Tis the season to sing!
