The Lark In The Clear Air is a traditional Irish air. Since the 1800s, it has been associated with a poem by the Irish writer Sir Samuel Ferguson (1810-1886), one of the founding fathers of the Irish literary revival. It has been arranged here by Edgar M. Deale for TBarB Three-part Male Voice Chorus, with Piano accompaniment. It makes a perfect recital item for any Male Voice Choir.
Edgar M. Deale (1902-1999) was a twentieth century Irish composer. A former chorister at Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin, he was largely self-taught as a composer. His output was limited to a few dozen original works and arrangements, but hiscontribution to Irish music is gradually achieving the recognition it deserves.

Lodovico Grossi da Viadana (c.1560 - 1627) was an Italian composer, teacher, and Franciscan Friar. He is known for the important contribution he made to the development of Baroque music, being one of the first people touse figured bass as a means of notating a basso continuo line. From 1594 onwards he was choirmaster at various Italian cathedrals, when his O Sacrum Convivium was most probably written. It is an arrangement of theancient Christian prayer for TTBB Male Voice Chorus, and is a perfect anthem for any Eucharist service.

With the publication of his hypnotic Pater noster, Carus proudly presents Jacek Sykulski as a new composer in the Carus Contemporary series. Whilst Sykulski has achieved worldwide success as Director of the Academic Choir at the University of Poznan and the Poznan Boys' Choir, as a composer he has remained a well-guarded secret until now. In his sacred compositions he combines in music the deeply Catholic-imbued tradition of his country with his own compositional technique, characterized by a tremendous vocal sensuousness of sound and a conscious use of tonality enriched by dissonance. His Pater noster was composed in 2009 and revised in 2015 for a performance by the RIAS Kammerchor in Berlin. The first section of this three-part work for eight-part choir (tenors and sopranos also split into three) begins with the invocation Pater noster homophonically in A minor. This then introduces the Gregorian liturgical melody of the Our Father canonically and aleatorically, like a contemplative congregational hymn. The middle section calls out Dein Reich komme in increasingly insistent rhythmic declamation, more demanding, with hypnotic repetitions and intensifications. In the last section, Sykulski returns to the opening harmonies, but now a semitone lower on A flat, followed by an intensification at the words sed libera nos a malo - and delivery us from evil once more; this ends unresolved in a diatonic cluster on A flat as the paradigm of our imperfect earthly existence. The eight-minute unaccompanied composition is extremely singable, impressive, and not difficult to master. The piece is suitable for use in the liturgy, as well as in concerts and competitions.

Printed product. The ethereal nature of the Samuel Francis Smith poem is perfectly paired with masterful text painting until the two become one in spirit and understanding. The move from earth to heaven is flawless. The music is deep; the text rich and profound. The melody line moves to harmony and back again until it finally finds a resting place in the sight and sound of eternity . . . making heaven a heaven. Glorious! Scored for SATB choir and piano with optional string quartet or orchestra parts available. Also available for SSAA and TTBB.
