These five part-songs were composed over ten years from 1903 to 1913, but only the first was published in the composer's lifetime. Bridge's early works - those written before the first World War - were more late Romantic in style, warmly expansive, than his mature works. These songs display Bridge's skill and craftsmanship.British composer Frank Bridge was active in the early decades of the 20th century and was a highly respected conductor, violist and teacher - his sole composition student having been Benjamin Britten. Britten honoured his former teacher in his work Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, based on a theme from one of Bridge's pieces for String quartet.

With the weekly demands of providing music for corporate worship, choirs need an easy solution for quality worship music. Music ministries need arrangements that provide options for performance, conserve rehearsal time, and are consistent with the same style and integrity of the selections already at use in their program. Simply...the Best is that solution: an easy-to-sing booklet with three proven anthems re-arranged to maximize rehearsal efficiency. The songs are familiar and the parts are easy enough to learn in as little as one rehearsal. Simply...the Best arrangements are even crafted to work when there are no men available to sing, creating flexibility and the option for a women's-only choir.

An exclusive benefit of the Simply...the Best series is the Virtual Accompanist trax (included on the CD accompaniment trax.) The Virtual Accompanist trax includes the women's parts being sung and played on the left channel and men's voice parts being sung and played on the right. By panning the trax to either side, you can let each section hear its parts separately.

Whether you sing all three songs together or on separate occasions, with live accompaniment or with the split track accompaniment CD, this series is a simple solution to encourage choirs to lift their voices in praise. No choir is too small or too large to benefit from the practical arrangements and the new trax features of Simply...the Best.

Jorgen Jersild's music is always marked by a timbral refinement with a certain inspiration from Cesar Franck and a persistently seamless musical timing. His early works sit in the intersection between the Danish and French traditions, whose inspirations he later synthesized into his own personal style, as can be heard in Three Romantic Songs for Chorus , composed in 1971. Jorgen Jersild (1913-2004) was a Danish composer and pedagogue. He studied in Paris and at the University of Copenhagen, before becoming a teacher at the Royal Danish Academy of Music for over thirty years. During this time he wrote several successful textbooks on solfege and musical theory.
