Over its long history, the Advent song Veni, veni, Emmanuel has been adapted time and again to create many different versions with their own unique melodies and textual variants. The melody from the German Protestant hymnal to the text O komm, o komm, du Morgenstern probably dates from the 15th century. Manuel Grunden’s arrangement of this version now places the hymn in a new light. While respecting the sacred majesty of the original, Grunden has created a simple six-part arrangement in which the melody wanders through the different voices, encircled by long, dynamically shaped sustained notes. As the piece progresses, the joyful anticipation of the Savior’s anticipated arrival is expressed in impressive and dramatic climaxes. At the same time, jazz/pop harmonies bring fresh color to the simple melody. Offering a modern take on this very traditional song, Manuel Grunden’s piece can be easily integrated into any Advent concert program.

Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Composed by Traditional. Arranged by Jacob De Haan. Christmas Collection. Festive and Solemn Music. Score Only. Composed 1984. De Haske Publications #DHP 0840020-216. Published by De Haske Publications (BT.DHP-0840020-216).

The Latin word Introitus means â??entryâ??. Originally, this was a psalm sung to accompany the entrance of a bishop, priest or celebrant into the church. Later it was incorporated into the mass with alternating sung and spoken text, reflecting the mood of the liturgy. Jacob de Haanâ??s Introitus, in which he has arranged the hymns Puer natus est nobis and Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich, is a wonderful introduction to the Christmas season and can be performed with any instrumental combination with mixed choir and organ ad libitum.

Het Latijnse woord â??Introitusâ?? betekent binnentreden. Oorspronkelijk was de Introitus een gezongen psalm, die het binnentreden van een bisschop of priester in de kerk begeleidde. Later werd de Introitus een onderdeel van de mis, metafwisselend gezongen of gesproken tekst, passend bij de liturgie. Jacob de haan verwerkte in zijn Introitus de liederen Puer natus est nobis en Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Introitus is uw ideale voorbereidingop het kerstfeest en kan in elke instrumentencombinatie met gemengd koor en orgel ad libitum worden uitgevoerd.

Das lateinische Wort Introitus bedeutet Einzug. Urspru?nglich war der Introitus ein gesungener Psalm, der den Einzug eines Bischofs, Priesters oder Zelebranten in die Kirche begleitete. Später wurde der Introitus Teil der Messe mit wechselndem gesungenen oder gesprochenen Text, der auf den Inhalt der Liturgie einstimmen sollte. Jacob de Haans Introitus, in dem er die Lieder und Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich verarbeitete, ist eine wunderbare Einstimmung auf das Fest und kann in jeder Instrumentenkombination mit gemischtem Chor und Orgel ad libitum aufgefu?hrt werden.

Le mot latin Introitus signifie introduction. A lâ??origine, il sâ??agissait dâ??un psaume chanté, marquant lâ??entrée dans lâ??église dâ??un évêque, dâ??un prêtre ou du célébrant. Plus tard, lâ??introitus, chanté ou parlé, sâ??est adapté en fonction du contenu liturgique (Temps de Noël ou de lâ??Avent, Messe de P ques...). Jacob de Haan sâ??est inspiré de Puer natus est nobis et de Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich pour son Introitus de Temps de Noël. Une merveilleuse introduction la fête de Noël, qui pourra être interprétée par toutes les formations instrumentales, avec choeur mixte (texte en néerlandais et orgue ad lib.

La parola latina introitus significa introduzione. Originariamente si trattava di un salmo cantato che coincideva con lâ??ingresso in chiesa di un vescovo o di un prete. In seguito, cantato o parlato, si è adattato al contenuto liturgico (Avvento o Natale, Messa di Pasqua, ecc.). Per il suo Introitus di Natale, Jacob de Haan si è ispirato a Puer natus est nobis e Lobt Gott, Ihr Christen alle gleich. Una meravigliosa introduzione alla Festa del Natale che può essere interpretata da ogni organico strumentale, con coro misto (testo in olandese) e organo opzionali.

Latin.

Hungary has a thousand-year-old tradition of reverence for the Virgin Mary. In the course of the centuries the Church has found more and more occasions for the celebration of Mary. The greatest is the celebration of Mary?s assumption into heaven, which coincides with the anniversary of the death of Saint Stephen, on August 15. The texts of these choral works originate from various supplicatory prayers from the office, vocal texts and hymns. The six choral works don?t form a cycle, since the texts are associated with different liturgies. The choruses: Regina caeli ? antiphon for Easter, Sub tuum praesidium ? antiphon, Maria Mater gratiae ? short hymn, Ave Regina caelorum ?antiphon for Lent, Ave maris stella ? Hymn to Mary, Virgo parens Christi benedicta ? responsorium, can be sung singly or in any combination.

Mezzalira places his worked entirely in the tradition of Catholic church music: Gregorian elements are associated likewise with Palestrina's counterpoint and Bruckner's sonorous expansin. Thoroughly in the tradition of the motet, the Memorare is structured in four sections, each in accordance with their respective texts. This large structured composition begins in C minor from the depths of the men's voices, building to a song of lamentation which increases to an harmonically enriched E flat major passage on the words virgo maria. In the second section, harmonically in A flat major, Mezzalira places the upper and lower voices in a double choir opposed to each other in block-like manner in order to develop resonating cantilenas in the third part, which is in F major. After a very simple, tender four-part setting of a hymn the composition ends with an Amen with large modally enriched chords in D major.

Marc-Antoine Charpentier's Christmas mass, the Messe de Minuit, is throughly in the French tradition, celebrating the joyful news of the Birth of Christ with cheerful happiness. In this midnight mass, composed in 1694, ten traditional French Christmas hymns have been rearranged, lending the work a dance-like energy alongside charming tone coloring. In independent movements the relatively small instrumental ensemble consisting of two flutes, strings and organ plays a significant role in the musical events of this mass, alternating with various combinations of the vocal parts. Solo voices are only used together in small ensembles and, in accordance with the practices of the period, the boundaries between solo ensemble and choir are fluid, meaning that these solo passages can also be sung by members of the choir. Score and part available separately - see item CA.2102900.

SATB Choir

SKU: BT.MUSM570368679

Isthmus denotes a narrow strip of land with sea on either side, forming a link between two larger ars of land. The title is a metaphor for an effort to bond artistically my experiences of living in Cyprus, my birthplace, and in the USA, my recently adopted homeland. Having lived in a small, partitioned island for my formative years and in England for eleven years, water has always had a double meaning: it has at once served as a gateway to other cultures but also as a border, a violent and absolute interruption of a continuum. While in the USA, or indeed in a now connected Europe, it is possible to travel on land for days without having to encounter a border, in the countries where I lived for most of my life, that was not possible. As an artist, this notion of establishing boundaries and consciously trying to break them is very close to me, as my music deals both with modernity but also with tradition and, similarly, with metaphor and reality. As a Cypriot, the sea, the world of antiquity, the mysteries of the oracles, the notion of borders and the pastoral are all very central to my way of thinking. In Cyprus, different layers of history are frequently superimposed on a single building that might still preserve its Roman, Byzantine, Venetian and Ottoman features in its layers of stone and architecture. Similarly, ancient ruins or the barbed wire of modern conflict often interrupt placid fields. An isthmus, therefore, can be seen to symbolize my artistic struggle to join strikingly different experiences and notions in a cohesive way. Similar to an isthmus, in this short piece, I connect these experiences with the purpose of creating a distinct and unique sonic context, connecting technology and tradition, the pastoral with the urban, the musical with the extra-musical and the abstract with the concrete. For example, the choir does not always sing in the traditional sense, but the singers imitate various natural sounds, such as water, air, crickets or birds, to create a vivid visual impression for the work. Scandinavian herding calls blend with field recordings from the seas of Cyprus and the lakes of Upstate New York, communicated within clearly defined, singular acoustic sources and spaces through wireless speakers. The text used is both onomatopoeic, articulating an imaginary language, but also literal, with a setting of the poem, “To make a prairie” by the iconic American poet Emily Dickinson and a tiny fragment from Callimachus’ “Hymn to Demeter.” Technology is used sparsely and very intentionally to articulate the expressive qualities of pastoral imagery, creating one unified synthetic timbre with the choristers’ sounds. This piece is dedicated to the wonderful singers of the Georgia Institute of Technology Chamber Choir with special thanks to Professors Hsu and Ulrich, without whose support this composition would not have been possible. Practical notes: A choir of no less than 24 singers is sought with 4 additional soloists (2 Sopranos and 2 Altos). Each singer must have their own wireless speaker, secured either in the music folder or as a strap inside their shirts. All sounds must match in volume the sound from the speakers, creating one unified timbre. The speakers should not be noticeable to the public. The four soloists are placed offstage at the beginning of the work. From 1:35’ onwards they enter the hall and take their positions, ideally at the four corners of the hall. If the hall is too large, the singers can find alternate positions, but these should always be antiphonal. The four soloists sing predominantly in the “kulning” style and the antiphonal aspect is very important to the work. There are two sound files for each section (SATB) that are triggered by each singer’s mobile device. The first occurs at the start of the piece, and the second, about a minute before the end. The sound files are able to be purchased separately, on CD, or are available directly from UYMP.

This exciting work depicts the lively and sunny nature of the state of Florida. Opening with a brilliant and majestic section highlighting the state's bright and vibrant culture, a flowing melody follows, representing the calming winds and consistent breeze of the state. Dance is a large part of Florida's culture, especially in its southern region, and the 7/8 rhythm captures an Afro-Latin style dance movement. The chorale/hymn section is based on the Florida Song, which is a traditional school song of many schools, including Florida A&M in Tallahassee. The work then recapitulates and moves toward a driving and joyful conclusion. An excellent contest/festival work!

Michie l Karatem, a school teacher and hymn writer, was born in 1934 in the Aru Islands, an archipelago in the Indonesian province of Maluku. These brief pieces can be used in a variety of ways during liturgy. For the “Kyrie” the basses could hum their initial pitch during spoken prayers before everyone joins to sing the piece as written. The “Gloria” could be sung as a refrain between sections of the spoken “Glory to God.”.
