Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new, by renowned teacher, singer and director Gitika Partington. Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK, and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable, Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song.What's great about Gitika Partington's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song, it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful, but she has learned that there are other ways to communicate music, namely through ear training, repetition and gesture. Her arrangements, five of which appear in this book, have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country, making singing truly and universally accessible. Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers, Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair, Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up, Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite, Sway (Quien Sera). Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation, although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this, the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano, alto, tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun, as you are able to listen wherever you are.The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere, with limited resources, with members who don't necessarily have any musical training. Partington has created a book that can be used by a cappella choirs who love pop music that sounds great and will thrill audiences. Sing Pop A Cappella is not just a songbook, though, it also includes an extensive introduction by Partington, as well as performance tips for each song and information on voice care and learning the tunes. It's a personal book for Partington, who is passionate about the power of music to bring people together, and enthusiastic about getting people who wouldn't believe they had the confidence or ability, to sing pop!Sing Pop A Cappella is a brilliant book for choirs of any type or size who would enjoy singing five incredible pop tunes without accompaniment. The fantastic sound of a group of people singing a well-known song in a completely new and interesting way is something that Gitika Partington knows well, and something that she wants to impart to groups across the country. Songs like this were made to be sung, so pick up Book Three and Sing Pop A Cappella! / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Une chanson a été entendue à Noël a été écrit pour Gorseinon Youth Choir et première au Brangwyn Hall de Swansea le vendredi 18 Décembre 2009. Le morceau a été enregistré par les BBC Singers dans Cripplegate de St Giles, London le jeudi 17 Novembre 2011. Il a été diffusé sur les chants de la BBC Radio 3 pour le petit déjeuner le lundi 19 Décembre 2011.L'ouvrage s'ouvre sur un solo de soprano qui nous rappelle un solitaire aigus effectuer le premier couplet d'un chant de la congrégation, avec le choeur traditionnel offrant harmonie à quatre parties dans le deuxième couplet. Le troisième verset associe un élément de XVIe / XVIIe siècle fauxbourdon - la mélodie est chantée par le ténor - avec un effet décoratif, sans paroles descant fourni à la fois par la soprano et alto. Le dernier verset s'ouvre avec les sopranos proclamant 'Un enfant nous est né!' Ce sentiment est répété par chaque voix dans une célébration chorale, entrelacés avec des fils de la mélodie originale, jusqu'à ce que le travail arrive à une conclusion triomphale avec l'ensemble du choeur louant le Seigneur, Christ le Seigneur. / Choeur Mixte (SSATBB) A Cappella

Par HINDEMITH PAUL. These canons now published for the first time document Hindemith's fondness of composing little parodistic works with a wink on certain occasions. More than 30 artistic postcard-sized works were written by the composer. In strict counterpoint, he used them to convey season's greetings, congratulations on birthdays and anniversaries, and thanks to friends, colleagues and cultural institutions. Some of these witty and entertaining pieces have been released on recordings several times, but they have not been available in printed editions yet. Our first edition now enables every choir and every small singing group to find a canon of the appropriate level of difficulty and perform it on many occasions with great success with the audience./ Répertoire / Choeur a Cappella

Noël 2 is an exciting collection of Advent, Christmas and Epiphany music for mixed voice choirs, which follows on from the highly acclaimed Noël! Volume 1 (Catalogue No. NOV310800). The contents range from the Renaissance to the present: from Byrd and Sweelinck, via Bach, familiar settings of traditional and lesser known carols through the ages to Howells and Leighton, and work by today's composers including Richard Rodney Bennett, Eric Whitacre, John Tavener Tarik O'Regan and Richard Allain. Mixed voice choirs of all levels will find here new arrangements of favourite carols as well as stimulating works for the Christmas season, from the easy to learn to the more challenging and unconventional. Selected and edited by David Hill, Choral Advisor to Novello, Chief Conductor of the BBC singers, Musical Director of The Bach Choir, Chief Conductor of The Southern Sinfonia and Music Director of Leeds Philharmonic Society. He was awarded an honorary Doctorate by the University of Southampton in 2002 in recognition of his Services to Music. 'Noël was a welcome addition to the Christmas list for decent standard choirs - Noël 2 adds even more to the repertoire in a handy volume... The main enticements are some fantastic new arrangements of old favourites, a number of works previously only available in single sheets (Whitacre's Lux Arumque among others) and some fantastic new surprises. Adrian Peacock's Venite, Gaudete is a wonderfully original and vibrant setting, Richard Rodney Bennet's I Wonder as I Wander is both reflective and effective, and there are plenty more. Some of the pieces here will challenge your choir, but there's a vast amount to get the Christmas inspiration flowing.

This beautiful text by contemporary poet Annie Finch is a love song describing the most beautiful and intimate images of love - 'warm hands,? 'gentlest sounds, touches and hours?. The text is set apart and isolated in sound, marked by gentle silences until halfway through the piece when the voices finally merge together, remaining that way - finally united, until the very end. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) A Cappella

Béni soit cette fille Marie a été créée et enregistrée par les BBC Singers à Cripplegate de St Giles, Londres le 29 Novembre 2012. La pièce a reçu un BBC Radio 3 a diffusé le 18 Décembre 2012.Ce travail est essentiellement un strophique chant traditionnel. Pourtant, alors que les refrains restent inchangées, à la terre ainsi toute la pièce, il existe des variantes mélodiques subtiles dans chaque verset successives qui donnent à l'oeuvre son caractère enjoué. Le premier 4/4 mars-like mélodie évolue lentement dans une gracieuse 12/8 danse, et chaque choeur interrompt le flux avec un coup de cymbale-like. Dans le dernier couplet, les altos, ténors et basses offrent un battement de tambour invariable qui sous-tend la mélodie soprano et descant. L'ouvrage se termine par le choeur étant chanté deux fois, la deuxième instance étant une proclamation que 'Ce jour-là, Jésus est né de la Vierge'. / Choeur Mixte (SSATB)
