Ponder Anew. Innovative harmonies and a well-known hymn tune are the hallmarks of this successful new anthem. The powerful lyric speaks to the divine calling of the church and the work that God has done, is doing, and will continue doing among His people. Variety sounds throughout the anthem with shimmering chords beckoning the listener to ponder anew before surrendering to the tune ST. DENIO, with admonitions to praise and share what marvelous, infinite things God can do! After an impressive climax, the piece winds down to a reflective ending, returning the piece to its thoughtful beginnings. Highly effective!

Heilig-Messe-Bernard of Offida 1604 1694 was a Capuchin monk whose saintly life and devotion to the sick and poor caused him to be beatified by Pope Pius VI on 19 May 1795. St. Bernard?s name day falls on the 11th of September (a Saturday in 1797) and it is generally thought that Haydn combined doing honour to the Capuchin monk with the production of a new Mass for his patron the day thereafter.Apparently later performances in Eisenstadt added horns to double the trumpets in the tuttis and just as in the previous Mass the clarinet parts were enlarged; it is almost certain that the new clarinet parts are either by Haydn or (shall we say) ?supervised? by him. As inthe Mass in Time of War conductors have the choice of two orchestrations: with or without doubling horns and with or without the supplementary clarinet parts.The Heiligmesse has always been one of Haydn?s most admired works. Its dignity its strength (we draw special attention to the extraordinary ?Gratias? with its brilliant contrapuntal writing) the subdued orchestral grandeur to which the B-flat trumpets contribute a silvery but unmartial weight all these have made it one of Haydn?s most serious and most deeply sensitive church works: its constant popularity in Viennese churches is quite deserved.Urtext from Joseph Haydn WerkeFull score (together with Missa Cellensis [Mariazellermesse] Hob.XXII:8; Missa brevis Sti Joannis de Deo [Little Organ Mass] Hob.XXII:7; Missa in Tempore Belli [Mass in Time of War] Hob.XXII:9) available for saleParts (BA4651) and vocal score (BA4651-90) available for sale

'Another Look at Harmony' is a project started in 1975. The approach has been to link directly rhythmic and harmonic structure. In doing so easily audible root movement (chords or 'changes') was chosen in order that the clarityof their relationship could easily be heard. Here as in earlier periods of Western music melodic material is for the most part a function or result of the harmony. However it is clear that some of the priorities of Westernmusic (harmony/melody first then rhythm) have been reversed.

This title is taken from the compilation French Songs And Choruses For Mixed-Voice Choir (NOV165198) These songs for unaccompanied chorus were written between December 1914 and February 1915 while Ravel was waiting to be enlisted in the army. The songs were published in 1916 but did not receive their first performance until October 1917 with a chorus assembled by Jane Bathori and her husband.The songs mark a rare foray into choral writing for Ravel the first since his ill-fated entries for the Prix de Rome (apart from the wordless choruses in Daphnis et Chloé). Part of the special interest of Trois chansons is that Ravel himselfwrote the texts for them. The first and last of the poems have an ironic humour and he clearly revelled in the use of language; the second makes repeated reference to going away to war as its dedicatee Painlevé had already done and as Ravel was then preoccupied with doing. The only other work in which Ravel set his own text to music was Noël des jouets (1905).
