SATB choir, organ - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0121

Composed by Richard Busch. Cathedral. Choral, Evensong, Festival, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0121. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0121).

This inspired anthem displays the melodic gifts of Richard Busch as well as his keen sensitivity to text. The text itself is from John Henry Newman and asks God for a holy rest when the day is done. The music supports the varied emotions of the text in both quietude and agitation with a switch from C major to E major. The four part writing in the central section is challenging in the harmonic changes yet gratifying in the use of the entire vocal range. The piece ends in the same quiet spirit in which it began. Choirs of more advanced skills will enjoy this addition to the anthem repertoire for Evensong.

SATB choir with some divisi, organ - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9626

Composed by Joel Martinson. Cathedral. Choral, Evensong. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9626. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9626).

Joel Martinson's setting of the evening canticles balances a rare sensitivity to the text with an exuberant use of voices and organ. The Magnificat opens with sopranos alone supported by a gently undulating accompaniment. The flow of the text is sustained throughout by the use of mixed meters. He hath shown strength with his arm, is set in a rapid, syncopated style which returns for the Glory be to the Father section. The Nunc Dimittis begins lyrically and quietly in all parts and gradually builds to a strong conclusion as the harmony and texture increase in intensity. Mr. Martinson's combination of rhythmic drive and sensitively changing harmonies create a fresh and vital setting of these beloved words for the service of Evensong.

This imaginative work is set for treble choir, handbells and organ. The bells punctuate the vocal line with a four note motive and the theme is also developed by the voices and organ. The quiet final Amen is most effective. Five players are needed for handbell part which is in the choral score.

SATB choir with some divisi, organ - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9915

Composed by Dr. George Guest. Cathedral. Choral, Evensong. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9915. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9915).

This elegantly written setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis wears its tradition boldly. In the Magnificat, the melodic lines for the treble voices soar in the best boy-choir tradition, while the other voices have much lyric and harmonic interest. The harmonic style could be characterized as mid-20th century with harmonic modernism that is always at the serice of the text. The Nunc Dimittis is simple, closing with a quiet statement of the Gloria. Dr. Guest, drawing from his skill as an organist, provides an organ accompaniment of great interest and beauty.

SATB choir, Organ - Medium

SKU: PL.0007

Composed by Andrew Walker. Parish/Cathedral. Choral, Evensong, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0007. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0007).

Andrew Walker has provided an unusual, gently undulating accompaniment for the lyrical phrases of this evening hymn.Tenors and sopranos each have the opportunity to set forth the lovely melody that first expresses the peace of this text. This is followed by a four-part setting that leads into the final section in the major mode. The anthem ends quietly with a repetition of the text, ...may rest in peace, may rest in peace. This setting moves the listener with its simplicity and gentleness and would be an excellent anthem for an evening service.
