No. 3 from Three Marian Motets. Composed by Ko Matsushita. Contemporary Choir Music. Hodie Beata Virgo Maria Fass.Ssaa. Sacred vocal music, Advent, Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hymns in praise of the Virgin Mary. Full score. Carus Verlag #CV 09.644/20. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.964420).

ISBN 9790007143497. Text language: Latin.

The aged Simeon takes the new-born Jesus in his arms, recognises his significance and celebrates this moment in a paean of praise as the fulfilment of his life. In Matsushita's motet this song of praise, the nunc dimittis, stands at the centre of the composition. Here, the triad of C-F sharp-G, used for the word hodie - today at the beginning, symbolically combines with a Gregorian-like motif, revolving around the central note of B flat in whole-tone movement, and which is used to represent the Virgin Mary. The work ends with a mystical wash of sound, a whole-tone cluster which emerges from the aleatorically repeated basic motifs of the work, and fades away to nothing.

Choral (SSAA Choir)

SKU: HL.14021007

Composed by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Music Sales America. Classical, Youth Choir. Book [Softcover]. Composed 2003. 28 pages. Chester Music #CH61800. Published by Chester Music (HL.14021007).

ISBN 9781844492893. 8.5x11.0x0.088 inches.

A Choral Suite for Two Part (Soprano and Alto) Children's Chorus setting the text of George Mackay Brown. This enchanting 12-minute cycle is typical of the subtle and delicate way Maxwell-Davies approaches writing for children: straightforward, tender, affectionate, yet with just a hint of the complexity found in challenging 'adult' works like the cycle Westerlings. George Mackay Brown's poetry with its haiku-like short stanzas and pointilliste allusive imagery leaves you constantly intrigued : who is the boy 'lost on the hill till sundown', and why is time 'a bird with white wings?' Is this perhaps the poet himself playing a bit of holiday truant?

Giovanni Gabrieli's Se cantano gl'augelli comes from a collection of madrigals entitled Il trionfo di Dori. Each madrigal is scored for six voices and each ends with the text Viva la bella Dori (Long live fair Dori). This late sixteenth-century collection of madrigals enjoyed great success and was the model of the famous English collection of madrigals entitled, The Triumphes of Oriana. The GIA Historical Music Series edited by Dennis Shrock, presents repertoire suitable for performance by public school, college and university, church, and community ensembles, with the purpose of making available to today’s conductors lesser-known and previously difficult-to-procure historical masterpieces. The music, drawn from the Renaissance through the Romantic eras, is in performance editions based on the most current and rigorous scholarly research. The musical scores reflect original intent of notation, with all editorial markings and emendations clearly identified as such. In addition, preface material accompanying the music contains literal translations of foreign language texts and information regarding the lives of the composers, genres, and relevant performance practices. Dennis Shrock is Director of Choral Activities at Texas Christian University. He has been called one of the top choral scholars in the United States and has received a number of awards for his work. He received a bachelor's degree in music education from Westminster Choir College and both master's and doctoral degrees in choral conducting from Indiana University. .

Composed by Kate Crellin. Choral. Concert, General. Octavo. Heritage Music Press #15/3843H. Published by Heritage Music Press (LO.15-3843H).

ISBN 9780787774004.

The delicate harmonic beauty of this piece is truly stunning. Though short in length, there is immense opportunity for magical expressive moments. With close harmonies weaving in and out of consonances and unisons and flowing passages paired with moments of rhythmic energy, there is so much music to be made. A repeating ending of layered melodies that gradually fades al niente will have your audience holding their breath. Composed as a set of three compositions, also look for Day of Fire and Sun (15/3898H) and Home–Thoughts, from Abroad (15/3844L).

Winter programming at its finest! A rare find for four-part mixed or treble choirs. This original poetic text recounts the sheer beauty of snowflakes floating to earth in a winter paradise. A gently lilting tempo, the ebb and flow of a graceful melody, and some closely spaced cluster chords create an artistic soundscape that will challenge and engage even the most accomplished choristers. Outstanding performances are the result of outstanding rehearsals, and this piece contains the depth for both. Nature, not to be outdone, leaves one and all . . . spellbound.
