This is an energetic SATB Easter anthem with infectious rhythms and can be done with organ or piano accompaniment, or that plus 3-5 octaves of handbells, or simply with choir and handbells alone. Ample alleluias, as you'd expect, plus snippets of other text (Where have they taken my Lord?; He is arisen from the grave!) With the composer's extensive knowledge of voice, organ, and bells, this is a sure-fire success.

Following the complete collection of Heinrich von Herzogenberg's secular choral music (winner of the Music Edition Prize 2011), Carus has published Volume 2, the complete sacred a cappella choral works. The editor is once again Konrad Klek, who describes in detail the circumstances surrounding the composition of these works. In addition to the five cycles of Liturgische Gesange for various services during the church year, the original liturgical integration of the choral music is explained in detail. The four to eight-voice motet Mitten wir im Leben sind from 1881, composed in reaction to a catastrophic fire, is a first edition from the manuscript. Of the nine additional motets, until now two were not available: a festive five-part motet for Pentecost and the great double chorus for the silver anniversary of Mendelssohn's daughter, Lili Wach. Smaller choral settings for specific occasions (e.g., weddings) round out the picture. The Begrabnis-Gesang (funeral lament) for tenor solo and men's choir at the end of this volume, with his own words as well as music, is a very personal offering by the composer to the widow of his deceased friend, Philipp Spitta. All the works are also available in separate editions.

No composer in musical history has taught the pianist more new and permanently valuable things, says Grove's Dictionary of Music and Musicians, describing Impressionist Claude Debussy. This compilation of the composer's most colorfully atmospheric works attests to his extraordinary powers of invention and to his reassessment of keyboard color and technique. Twenty selections range from such fanciful pieces as the impudent Golliwog's Cake Walk and the misty Sunken Cathedral to the brilliant Fireworks. A rich compilation of works by France's most innovative and influential composer, this convenient and modestly priced volume will be welcomed by pianists, students, teachers, and music lovers. Dover original compilation of works from authoritative editions.

It has been performed and recorded by folk singers such as Martin Carthy, Maddy Prior, and Bella Hardy amongst many others, and inspired Down by the Greenwood Side by Harrison Birtwistle. The particular melody used in this arrangement was collected by H.E.D. Hammond in Dorset in 1907. The matter-of-fact representation of the terrible tale thatcharacterizes the tune is augmented by the quintuple metre and cheerful instrumental refrain. Commissioned by Dark Inventions and first performed by them on 8th May 2014 at The Engine House, Manchester.

Chamber Music Marimba, Vibraphone

SKU: PO.PE184

Composed by John Psathas. Sws. Score and parts. Promethean Editions #PE184. Published by Promethean Editions (PO.PE184).

A gentle liveliness inhabits Muisca's first movement Soledad. Time signatures constantly shift, with bar lengths changing by a beat or half-beat, while elsewhere certain syncopated figures recall the strum-based rhythms of the work's original incarnation for guitar. Sleepy yet mysterious, the second movement Chia opens with a solo vibraphone passage, before the marimba joins in for some gentle melodic interplay. The marimba then settles into a lightly swinging rhythmic bed in its rich lower register, allowing room for the vibraphone's statements in its resonant lower voice. The gentle, odd metered marimba groove that opens the final movement El Dorado lays a foundation for the vibraphone's own groove based melodies to interlock with, their lines tumbling through shifting time signatures reminiscent of the first movement. The duo's increasingly busy interplay is peppered with quickfire synchronised runs in the final minute of the movement, bringing Muisca to an exhilarating conclusion.
