The Bridge Builder tells the story of an old man who crosses a chasm, only to turn around to painstakingly build a bridge. When asked what he is doing, he explains that a younger man is following who could fall into the chasm, and that the old man is building the bridge for him. The vocals will offer some challenges for your choir, while the interesting piano accompaniment will support the singers. Jo-Michael Scheibe Choral Series.

Mozart's magnificent unfinishedGreat Mass in C minor K. 427is impressive not only for its monumentality and musical beauty but for its fragmentary state which has fascinated scholars and performers for decades.

Working together with the International Mozarteum Foundation in Salzburg, Barenreiter now presents a new edition of this work, reflecting the cutting edge of scholarship while doing justice to the needs of performers.

High scholarly standards, the completion and reconstruction of movements: this pioneering publication incorporates all this in order to come as close as possible to the work itself:
- TheKyrieandGloria, both of which survive complete in Mozart's hand, are edited in accordance with scholarly standards.
- The first two sections of theCredohave been meticulously completed by the editor Ulrich Leisinger, drawing on original Mozart compositions e.g. the ariaDeh vieni non tardarfromThe Marriage of Figaroand paying attention to a stylistically appropriate and transparent sound.
- TheSanctusandBenedictus(w ith theHosanna), which are either incomplete or survive only in secondary sources, have been reconstructed by the editor.

Sections without any known sources are left out in this edition. Rounding off the publication is an extensive Foreword (Ger/Eng).

The first performance of Ulrich Leisinger's new edition was given in April 2019 in the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg by the Hamburg State Philharmonic Orchestra and the ChorWerk Ruhr under the baton of Kent Nagano. The first Austrian premiere took place in Salzburg on August 2019 in the Great Hall of the Mozarteum, with Andrew Manze conducting the Salzburg Camerata to rousing applause from audience and critics alike.

The C-minor Mass reconstruction by Helmut Eder on the basis of the New Mozart Edition (BA 4846) is still available: the score and performance material are on hire, the vocal score is on sale.

SATB choir, a cappella - Medium/Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0323

Composed by Michael Sitton. Choral, General, Pentecost. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0323. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0323).

This brief, yet heartfelt anthem uses a text of Thomas Cranmer for Quinquagesima Sunday. It tells us that . . .our doing without charity are nothing worth. This is an intimate piece, staying well within the middle range of the voices and expressing the text with lines of simple beauty and imagination. Works are often highlighted with a single voice and the harmonic language is mildly dissonant. This anthem would also make a lovely introit.

SATB choir with piano or brass quintet, percussion and organ

SKU: EC.RBM-111

Composed by Randol Alan Bass. Multi-Movement/Large Choral Work. 21st Century. Choral score. Randol Bass Music #RBM-111. Published by Randol Bass Music (EC.RBM-111).

This composition was commissioned by the Fairfield University Glee Club of Fairfield, CT, and was created to help usher in, musically, the end of the old millennium and the start of the new one. The piece was premiered in the Spring of 2001, and the first performance was led by the then conductor of the ensemble, Carol Anne Maxwell.

The structure of the work is that of a brief choral symphony, with a strong melodic basis in the vocal parts and varied instrumental figuration in the accompaniment forces. Each of the 4 movements is quite unique in style and form, and could each be performed separately if the programming occasion warranted so doing.

The text is drawn from a number of sources, one for each of the 4 movements:
1.Lao-Tsu2.Isaiah 58 (Holy Bible; paraphrased)
3.St. Ignatius of Loyola
4.Anonymous (from the Sanskrit)

The work is scored for brass quintet (2 tpt, hn, trbn & tuba), two percussion and organ, and the accompaniment package is available for purchase [RBM-207].
