Springtime On Funen Op.42 by Carl Nielsen for Soprano Solo Tenor Solo Bass Baritone Solo SATB and Children's choirs and Orchestra. Full Score.

Carus 70.301/10 which is part of the material associated with this piece can be used as the choral score. Gabriel Fauré composed the Cantique de Jean Racine in 1865 the prizewinning work for the completion of his musical training. The composer expanded the original scoring for choir and organ by adding a string accompaniment; the version with orchestra was first performed in 1906. As a text Fauré chose a French adaptation by Jean Racine of the Latin hymn ?Consors paterni luminis.? The Cantique already displays the characteristics of an expressive choral setting typical for Fauré as well as the finely worked out orchestral accompaniment and together with the Requiem composed considerably later it is among the most popular works of the composer.

Composed and arranged for the retirement of Fuller Seminary president Richard J. Mouw this choral anthem introduces a beautiful new hymn tune in an expansive and exciting setting. Don't miss this piece for your church orcommunity choir!

Trois poèmes d'Henri Michaux was written for the Zagreb Biennale and first performed there by the orchestra and choir of Radio Zagreb, conducted by the composer and Slavko Zlatic on 9 May 1963. It is composed for 20-part choir and an orchestra similar to that of the Symphony of Psalms, though without the lower strings of the latter.Lutoslaswski has said that the general outline of the work came to him first, and only then did he choose the three poems. These reflect his Francophile taste: Henri Michaux was born in Belgium in 1899 and later became a painter: the trenchant Le Grand Combat, with its onomatopoeic invented words, dates form the 1920s- the other two texts, which are more philosophic than pictorial, form the 1930s. Choir and orchestra need separate conductors even though throughout they alternate more often than they combine.A description of the course of the music itself will be more useful than any discussion of its technical processes or of its notation. A quiet section of orchestral polyphony, which brass sforzandi punctuate with increasing frequency, frames the beginning and end of Pensées. After the choir's first unaccompanied passage, the woodwind have a staccato section over which the female voices, singing downward glissandi, are superimposed ('Ombre de mondes infimes?'). Then the woodwind and both pianos join in a lapping ostinato which illustrates the text of the next forte choir entry 'Pensées à la nage merveilleuse?' The climax of the movement comes as these characteristic woodwind figures alternate with the tintinnabulation of a gamelan-like ensemble of vibraphone, céleste, harp and pianos. / Orchestre

MusicWorks - Grade 4 First published in 1989 this work from the late Calvin Custer epitomizes his command of orchestration and understanding of musical pacing. The familiar folk melody is stated first by a solo flute then followed by a remarkable series of variations starting with a brass choir accompanied by woodwind flourishes. An Andante variation features the woodwind choir accompanying solos by baritone and oboe and this leads to a striking fugue variation and bold finish. Truly symphonic band writing at its best. (4:45)

'Aethelinda' is Welsh for dragon. This programmatic piece invokes the energy and power of a great winged beast as it awakens from its slumber to wreak havoc on the countryside. Opening with a low string choir, the piece builds to a rousing allegro section and then a soaring fanfare. (6:00) / Orchestre
