Par PITTS ANTONY. The Naxos Book of Carols is collection of both the very old and the very new. Commissioned by the leading international classical music label, Naxos, these twenty-four arrangements of traditional and original carols tell the Christmas story - from the hope of Advent and the message of the Angels, to the humble birth of the baby in Bethlehem and the coming of the King of kings. This collaboration between Naxos and Faber Music has brought this volume, containing all 24 carols in four narrative sequences, in new arrangements for SATB choir with minimum divisi. There is a good mix of accompanied and a capella (even the latter have optional accompaniments) and there is practical guidance on how the carols may be used by congregations, as well as choirs with varied resources. The original CD, performed by the award-winning choir Tonus Peregrinus and directed by the composer Antony Pitts, is included within the book making it incredible value for money. / Choral Music / Recueil / Voix Mixtes

Medium Voice in A-Flat and Piano-The popular American Christmas carol The Birthday Of A King was written c.1890 by William Neidlinger. It contrasts the humble little village of Bethlehem with the glory and greatness of Jesus Christ who was born there. Famously recorded by Judy Garland for Decca Records in 1941 it has been a favourite of the repertoire for over 125 years. William H. Neidlinger (1863-1924) was an organist singing teacher and composer who wrote several pedagogical works. His interest in child psychology led him to abandon music and start a school for disadvantaged children where he put his theories of music education into practice. TheBirthday Of A King has been arranged for medium Voice and Piano in the suitable key of A flat.

Par CATTLEY SARAH. Written for baritone Roderick Williams and pianist Susie Allan to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the birth of Ralph Vaughan Williams, the five Frances Cornford settings of A Square and Candle-Lighted Boat further enhance Sarah Cattley’s reputation as an exciting young composer acutely sensitive to the nuances of English poetry. In addition to familiar sources ranging from ‘anon’ to George Mackay Brown, she has found inspiration in the work of women writers including Charlotte Brontë, Fredegond Shove, Moyra Tourlamain and Ursula Vaughan Williams. The finely tuned voice of Cambridge poet Frances Cornford (1886–1960) appealed especially for the touching immediacy of its insights, its probing of emotions from a woman’s viewpoint, and its wide human sympathy. In creative antithesis to the Vaughan Williams Songs of Travel, for which it is intended as a companion piece, a love of home is the theme of the cycle, its domestic interiors and country views illuminated in the warm tones and vivid portrayals of Cattley’s music. Performances at Thaxted and Paxton preceded a London premiere on 12 October 2022, marking the occasion of Vaughan Williams’s birth 150 years ago to the day. / Date parution : 2023-03-11/ Répertoire / Baryton et Piano

for soprano solo horn and large ensemble - Full Score-Five Portraits of Women is a set of songs with large ensemble derived by Aulis Sallinen from arias from three of his operas: The Red Line The King Goes Forth to France and Kullervo. Each draws a portrait of a woman compelled in her role by fate or a mission. The vocal lines differ only very slightly from their original counterparts in the operas but the revised orchestral accompaniment creates an extraordinary new soundscape as background to the arias consisting as it does of a woodwind orchestra four cellos a harp and a piano. There is also a solo French horn which acts as a sort of masculine counterweight to the female vocalist. Tuiskuaa lunta (It is stillsnowing) (from The Red Line) is the story of Riikka waiting in her snowbound cabin for the arrival of a good life-enhancing message. Carolinen häät (Caroline’s Wedding) (from The King Goes Forth to France) describes the deranged Caroline Tammatukka (Caroline with the Thick Mane) in a feverish hallucination involving the King whose arrival she awaits. The King is in fact already married but Caroline believes that he has left France for their wedding. Minä odotan sinua paimen (When we meet this evening) (from Kullervo) is the aria of the smith’s young wife who waits impatiently for the arrival of Kullervo. Itkenkö minä sinua? (How can you ask if I’ll mourn you) from the same opera describes the all-embracing love of a mother which encourages yet overrules the scorn of others for the youth. On tämä silta tehty naisista (That’s the bridge that’s made of womankind) (from The King Goes Forth to France) is the song of Caroline Iloinen [The Nice Caroline] explaining the biological eternal mission of woman as the bearer and birth-giver of life. The libretto of the opera The King Goes Forth to France is written by Paavo Haavikko; the librettos of The Red Line and Kullervo are by the composer. Five Portraits of Women was commissioned by the Finnish Radio Symphony
