For SSAATTBB unaccompanied I sing of a Maiden combines flowing lines with rhythmic irregularity, and ends with an airy weightlessness which, in the words of the composer, echoes the vernal flavour of the words. Although rhythmically challenging, this beautiful carol is hugely rewarding and perfect for any experienced choir.

Mixed choir (SSAATTBB) - Level 4

SKU: BA.BA07414

Composed by Marten Jansson. Stapled. Choral score. 12 pages. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA07414_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA07414).

ISBN 9790006559183. 27 x 19 cm inches. Text Language: Latin.

Based on the well-known bible text “Sing unto the Lord a new song” (Psalm 96:1-3), this upbeat composition with strong dynamics and flowing block chords alternating with fast-paced polyphony brings across this joyful message and enthuses singers.

Originally conceived for male choir, women’s voices have now been added so that this version for mixed choir presents a further dimension of colour. This version also makes it possible to divide the choir into two groups, one for women and another for men, and to have them sing either together or as separate units.

The version for mixed choir was premiered in Uppsala Cathedral (Sweden) on 26 October 2013, with the Uppsala Cathedral Singers conducted by Ulric Andersson.

“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.”

Mårten 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 “Carmen”, 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.

(In the Fields). Composed by Nikolai Andreyevich Roslavets. Edited by Marina Lobanova. This edition: Saddle stitching. Sheet music. Edition Schott. Choral score. 12 pages. Duration 2'. Schott Music #C54051. Published by Schott Music (HL.49018397).

In the days of Roslawez, the use of lyrical texts in Russian choral music was an exception. Traditionally, sacred liturgical texts were preferred in choral singing. Roslawez composed only a few choral works anyway, so this excellent cantabile piece is a real treasure. The poem 'Na poljach' (In the Fields) was written by the Russian poet Pyotr Oreshin. Little solo parts answered by the tutti, charming harmonies and a floating rhythm result in an Impressionist tonal image. The piece is quite easy to sing and will bring pleasure to both performers and listeners.Roslawez studied composition and violin in Moscow. He was among the leading figures of the musical scene in the 1920s. Treated more and more with hostility for political reasons and eventually barred from pursuing his career, he spent the last years of his life in poverty.

SSAATTBB a cappella. Composed by Magdalena Zimmermann. Choral. Classical, General Worship, Sacred. Octavo. 8 pages. Duration 360 seconds. Schott Music #SKR20115. Published by Schott Music (HL.49045938).

Magnificat by Magdalena Zimmermann for mixed choir (SSAATTBB) plays with harmony, rhythm and dynamics. The unexpected continuation of melodies by the voices, combined with shifted rhythms, engages the audience's attention until the last bar and results in a rich sound. With its soft and gentle ending, Magnificat as a prayer of Mary exudes, at the same time, a sense of calmness and gentleness.The work is rhythmically and harmonically demanding, which is why the singers need to be steady keeping beat and intonation. Once Magnificat has been rehearsed, it is suitable for concerts as well as Sunday services.

SSAATTBB Choir - Level 4

SKU: CA.742900

Composed by Kay Johannsen. Contemporary Choir Music. Sacred vocal music. Full Score. Duration 4 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 07.429/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.742900).

ISBN M-007-25230-4. Language: Hebrew.

The a cappella motet Alleluja (2018) is a song of longing which resonates existential need as well as the hope of a profound connection to God. In the beginning, which is delicate and motivically very concentrated but metrically deliberately uncoordinated, more and more voices gather to sing together, until suddenly, starting from the bass, a violent and rhythmically exalted incantation breaks out. The following fortissimo unison in a high register is the climax of the entire work piece. In the Abgesang, the beginning is taken up, but now in a polyphonic and harmonically intensified setting. The end in A major seems like a salvation. The work has been released on the CD Rejoice. Vocal Music by Kay Johannsen (Carus 83.496/00).

A 26 in concerto. Composed by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber. Edited by Werner Jaksch. This edition: Paperbound. Sacred Music from Salzburg. Missa Alleluja A 26 In Concerto. Sacred vocal music, Masses, Latin. Single Part, Organ. 16 pages. Duration 30 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 40.679/49. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.4067949).

This first edition of a mass by Biber offers a new glimpse of the colourful and contrastful world of the Baroque. Since the publication of his Missa Salisburgensis in 1903, no mass with this kind of many-voice scoring has appeared in print. This edition not only enriches the multi-choir repertoire, but also is an important contribution to study of an Austrian composer, who has long been known chiefly for his violin compositions. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4067900.
