Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for TTBB choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur TTBB Et Piano

William Blake était un génie polyvalent universelle - poète, peintre, graveur et philosophe du cuivre - qui, dans le visage du siècle des Lumières a un fondement rationnel mis le culte de l'extase, de l'énergie, l'intuition et l'imagination au-dessus de toute raison. Il a été inspiré par une vision du prophète Ezéchiel comme un enfant et se mit à construire un cosmos créatifs constitués de mythes, les forces opposées et désinhibée de peinture psychique. Incompris par ses contemporains, il n'a commencé à être redécouvert au début du XXe siècle, par exemple par WB Yeats, et la suite Ainsi, durant les années 1960 par des personnalités diverses, y compris les 'poètes battre' associés avec Allen Ginsberg, des cinéastes et de nombreux poètes modernes / Choeur D'Hommes Et Orgue / 44 pages / niveau : Avancé / Partition

Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric “Sa nuit d'ete ” several melodic themes are supported by dense colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's “Soneto de la Noche ” from his Cien Sonetos de Amor speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet serene and folk-like utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous “Sure on this Shining Night” is set much like a song from the American musical theater a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant “Voici le soir” recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.

Singin’ In The Rain was already a classic before it featured in the famous 1952 Gene Kelly film musical — Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown wrote it in the 1920s when many artists recorded it but more notably Cliff Edwards enjoyed success from his recording in 1929.Now forever associated with Kelly’s puddle-splashing routine and more recently reprised in stage adaptations Singin’ In The Rain remains an all-time favourite.Here it has been arranged by Craig McLeish for men's voice TTBB choir with piano accompaniment.

Craig Hella Johnson Choral Series-Commissioned by the Texas Choral Director's Association this work for men's voices to a text by Michael Dennis Browne expresses the fresh and vibrant sense of the journey of being a man in the modern world and especially ayoung man in a beautiful and volatile world.

Blue Moon , written by Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart in 1934, has had many treatments over the decades. Mel Tormé made a smooth hit version in the 1940s, Elvis Presley put it on his first album in 1956 and The Marcels had a doo-wop hit with it in 1961, but 'An American Werewolf in London' was the first movie to associate this most romantic of songs with lycanthropy. This brand new arrangement by Simon Foxley and Christopher Hussey for TTBB choir makes the evocative standard a welcome addition to the Novello Choral Pops series. / Choeur TTBB Et Piano
