SATB Double Chorus, a cappella SKU: SU.91480580 For SATB Double Chorus...(+)
SATB Double Chorus, a cappella SKU: SU.91480580 For SATB Double Chorus, a cappella. Composed by Dan Locklair. Vocal/Choral, Sacred Choral. Choral Octavo. Subito Music Corporation #91480580. Published by Subito Music Corporation (SU.91480580). The text is by the English poet, Joseph Addison (1672-1719), and was originally titled, Hymn. The father of English hymnody, Issac Watts, thought highly of Addison, calling him the most authentic judge of fine thought and language that our age has produced. This Addison hymn first appeared in print in the August 23, 1712, issue of The Spectator, at the end of an article by Addison entitled, An Essay on the Proper Means of Strengthening and Confirming Faith in the Mind of Man. It is based on Psalm 19, vs. 1–6. My setting of Addison’s words is full of dialogue throughout between the divided choirs. A relatively short middle section at the words, What though in solemn silence all, briefly stills the vibrant pace. However, the rhythmic energy soon returns, propelling the anthem toward its climax at the hymn’s final line, The Hand that made us is divine.SATB Double Chorus, a cappella Duration: 3' Text: Joseph Addison Composed: 2009 Published by: Subito Music Corporation Minimum order quantity: 8 copies.

SKU: GI.G-CD-434 Composed by Alice Parker. Sacred. CD. GIA Publications #434. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-CD-434). Five suites of early American hymns in new settings for a cappella mixed chorus. As modes of worship developed in early America, so too did their song. With Sweet Manna, gifted composer, conductor, and teacher Alice Parker gives us a glimpse into the past with new settings of early American shape-note songs found in songbooks published between 1790 and 1830. From cheerful gathering songs like My God, the Spring of All My Joy and reflective pieces such as From Deep Distress and Troubled Thoughts, to the joyous march of My Soul, Triumphant in the Lord and the familiar strains of Brethren, We Have Met to Worship (HOLY MANNA), Sweet Manna echoes the lives and the faith of early settlers.All songs in this collection keep the original combination of tune and text found in the sourcebooks, and are beautifully arranged by Alice Parker. The majority of texts are hymns of Issac Watts, while tunes are mostly from anonymous sources. Sweet Manna, however, is best described in Alice Parker's own words, Barn dances and laments, love songs and lullabies, [these songs] speak directly to us over the intervening centuries, telling us once again to 'fill our tongues with praise.' . $16.95 - See more - Buy onlinePre-shipment lead time: 1 to 2 weeks | | |
