Organ

SKU: SU.80101470

For Organ. Composed by Carson Cooman. Keyboard, Organ. Score. Zimbel Press #80101470. Published by Zimbel Press (SU.80101470).

Two Folk Songs (2011) are settings of traditional American folk songs, primarily associated with Appalachia. In keeping with the nature of the source material (and how it is performed in folk contexts), the settings are very straightforward. Every Night, When the Sun Goes Down is song with lyrics that focus on the transcendent peace that comes from faith, overcoming sorrow and death. Sourwood Mountain is a jubilant song with a nonsense refrain (hey-ho diddle-um day). The organ setting evokes the spirit of the banjo. As often happens in a traditional folk band, the melody is elaborated in a more virtuosic fashion on each repetition. Instrumentation: Organ Duration: 6' Composed: 2011 Published by: Zimbel Press.

SATB choir, piano accompaniment - Early intermediate

SKU: GI.G-10307

Composed by M. Roger Holland, II. Holy Thursday, Body and Blood of Christ. In Spirit and Truth. Sacred. Octavo. 12 pages. GIA Publications #10307. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10307).

UPC: 785147030713. English. Text Source: Latin: Thomas Aquinas, 1227-1274, English para. James Quinn, SJ, 1919-2010; Translation: James Quinn. Text by Thomas Aquinas.

This edition for Holy Thursday was written to reflect African American idioms. “Pange lingua” has rhythm and motion, yet acknowledges the solemn tone of the liturgical moment. As the ritual action moves from procession to adoration and repose, the setting moves to “Tantum ergo.” Though it, too, should have motion, it is more reflective of this most solemn moment: the Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament. The closing “Amen” ending on a perfect fifth recalls the style of ancient chant and organum.    .

Sing my soul, sing my heart. Sing for peace, sing for joy.                                        There is so much love here, yes! Kuimba Nafsi Yangu is a celebratory song derived from common Swahili phrases for joy. Intended as a concert opener, this spirited piece is pure energy from start to finish. The piano and djembes drive the momentum forward while the choir sings in call and response. Each section gets a chance to shine, all while building with anticipation to the final note and stomp. Accents/articulations, vocal inflections, and three part chords call for vocal flexibility, rhythmic intensity, and movement from the singers. If desired, mm. 3 and 4 may serve as a vamp, while the performers enter from around the auditorium to take the stage.PronunciationKuimba nafsi yangu,                                                                                                        [Koo-eehm-bah nahf-see yahn-goo,]                                                                Kuimba moyo wangu.                                                                                                     [Koo-eehm-bah moh-yoh wahn-goo.]                                                             Kuimba kwa amani,                                                                                                         [Koo-eehm-bah kwah ah-mah-nee,]                                                                  kuimba kwa furaha.                                                                                                         [Koo-eehm-bah kwah foo-rah-ha.]                                                                         Sana upendo, sana mpenzi wangu.                                                                           [Sah-nah oo-pehn-doh, sah-nah mmpehn-zee-wahn-goo.]                         Na wewe.

The melodic 5-note title phrase of the classic hymn Blessed Assurance provides the starting point for Robert Thurston's exuberantly creative riff on a beloved American religious tune. Thurston imbues the rhythms, harmonies, and textures of Assurance with a pop sensibility, while observing traditional formal structures--there's even a 4-part fugue to set up the final third of the piece!
