Often sung congregationally to BERKSHIRE, CHURCH TRIUMPHANT, DEVONSHIRE or DUNELM, Charles Wesley's much-loved Christmas hymn receives a new setting from Nigel Ogden. His skills as an outstanding performer, best known perhaps as host of the evergreen Radio 2 series The Organist Entertains, guarantee both a light touch and a serious musical content. Eminently practical, To us a Child of Royal Birth may be performed by single voices or SATB choir without divisions. The music artfully distributes the four verses between full chorus, upper voices, lower voices, and then tutti again. Ogden's winning command of a popular musical idiom is everywhere in evidence, in the beautifully resolved seventh and ninth chords, and in the assured movement of the anthem from its opening key of E flat to its conclusion in a bright and warm resolution of C major.

Organist of St George's, Windsor, and successor to the famous Marbecke, Mundy was amongst the earliest of the English madrigalists.

Remembered chiefly for his virginal music, this always fresh and charming composer - who was probably an instrument maker by trade - may well have penned these pieces simply for the enjoyment of his London friends living in the wards of Bishopsgate and Cripplegate. His experience as a keyboard player may have led him to some chromatic vocal writing, particularly in the admirable Construe my meaning, rivalling strangenesses in the work of his Italian contemporary, Gesualdo. CONTENTS Among the daffadillies (SSAB) Ay me, poor heart (SATB) Blind Love was shooting (SSAB) Carters, now cast down (SAT (or A) B) Construe my meaning (SATB) Daphne on the rainbow (SSA (or T) T (or B)) Lady, the silly flea (SATB) Lady, when I behold your passions (SSA (or T) B) Love shooting among many (SSAB) Love shooting at another (SSA (or T) B) My Lady's coloured cheeks (SAT (or A) B) Pearce did dance with Petronella (SAT (or A) B) Pearce did love fair Petronella (SAAB) Phillida bewailed (SAT (or A) B) Simkin said that Sis was fair (SSAB (or T)) Some time she would (SATB) Susanna fair (SSTB) The curtain drawn (SATB) The wavering planet (SSAB (or T)) Thrice blessed be the giver (SSAB (or T)) Witness, ye heavens (SSS (or A) AAT (or B) BB).

Well-known in his day as one of the most important contributors to East's Whole Book of Psalms (1592), Farmer was in the service of the Earl of Oxford who, more than any other nobleman, established the professional Elizabethan theatre. In the year that Burbidge opened the Globe Theatre, these 18 madrigals (the most famous is probably Fair Phyllis) gave the composer an attractive place in the history of English music. CONTENTS A little pretty bonny lass (SATB) Cease now thy mourning (SAT(or A) B (or T)) Compare me to the child (SAT(or A) B) Fair nymphs, I heard one telling (SSAT(or A) TB) Fair Phyliss, I saw (SATB) I thought, my love (SATB) Now each creature joys the other (SATB) O stay sweet love (SATB) Soon as the hungry lion (SATB) Sweet friend, thy absence (SAT(or A) B) Sweet Lord, your flame still burning (SATB) Take time while time doth last (SATB) The flattering words (SATB) Who would have thought that face?

Written for the choirs of Chichester, Winchester and Salisbury Cathedrals, An Admonition to Rulers was composed shortly before Mathias's choral masterpiece, This Worlde's Joie, but has remained unpublished until now. Its powerful text from Wisdom 6 and 7, clothed in the composer's colouful , dramatic music, make it an ideal choice of anthem for Remembrance Sunday, or any occasion when justice, order, and the role of those who govern are the focus of worship.

Antony Herschel Hill's Ave Verum Corpus for unaccompanied SATB is one of a number of liturgical works by this gifted composer. Written for Prebendary John Pearce and the choir of St Simon Zelotes, Chelsea, London, Hill's setting projects the awe and mystery of the text through a rich variety of harmony that particularly exploits the lower registers of the individual voices to great effect. If you have a really good choir, take advantage of this and buy it. For pure musicianship little else has equalled it recently; the sense of architecture is superb, the climaxes are clean, controlled and never contrived, and the final section, 'miserere mei', uses a wonderfully restrained sense of chromaticism. What a magic piece.

A jewel of English music, The Blue Bird first appeared as the third of these eight partsongs to words by the Victorian poet and novelist Mary Coleridge. Published shortly after her death in 1908, Op. 119 is the first of two such cycles composed in response to the refined sensibility of her poetry, which proved an ideal match for Stanford's mastery of word-setting and of the romantic choral idiom.

An abundantly versatile composer, Peter Foggitt in A Christmas Lullaby tunes in to the spirit of minimalism that has inspired so much remarkable music since Tavener, Gorecki and Part discovered a new gift to be simple in their ground-breaking works of the 1970s and 1980s. To the nativity scene painted in words by John Addington Symonds the unchanging-changing chords of the limpid accompaniment for organ or piano bring an aura of rapt intensity and communion. With the clarity of an icon, this is a cradle song for an infant king who is also the Prince of Peace and a child in a manger, and a study in expressive and disciplined singing for SATB chorus.

A captivating prayer to the Holy Spirit. Many aspects of this anthem - modest choral and keyboard demands, the anthem's relative brevity and a message tailored for these frenetic times - contribute to its versatility. Excellent for prayer responses, benedictions and Pentecost celebrations.

A tour de force of choral energy and expertise in rhythmic precision, this is aerial music, fleet and vibrant as voices proclaim Martin Luther's vision of universal peace above a torrent of cascading organ scales. The brightness of the Lydian mode matches this joyful proclamation, intoned chant-like in bold, clear intervals recalling the sounds both of medieval music and its refraction through the ears of modern masters like Stravinsky and Tavener. Cunningly constructed too, on a four-bar ostinato, the music reverses its opening scale figure for a quieter section before building again to an extrovert ending that repeats the chant against new organ figures in a clinching 'alleluia'.

John Carter has combined a myriad of tunes, texts, and techniques in this SATB anthem including quotes from the beloved hymn-tune and from the book of Ephesians, as well as the usage of both spoken work and rhythmic vocal melodies woven between a unison choir and SATB ensemble. Certainly not your everyday Amazing Grace!
