The cantata is an example of the striving toward reform at the end of 19th century to give choir and congregational singing more importance in worship services, even under modest circumstances. Therefore, Ludwig Meinardus did without the participation of soloists and made due with the organ as the accompanying instrument. The antiphonal singing between the choir and congregation holds a central place in this work. The cantata may be performed as a whole, but, in accordance with the conception of the composer it can also be performed within the context of a liturgical service.

SATB choir a cappella - Intermediate

SKU: MN.CH-1246

Composed by Dale Jergenson. St. Cyril's Music Series. 21st Century. Octavo. Duration 2 minutes, 45 seconds. Laurendale Associates #CH-1246. Published by Laurendale Associates (MN.CH-1246).

Evening Comes is the first piece in a series of commissions for the Saint Cyril's Music Series and is composed specifically for an evening service. Cardinal Newman's prayer, suggests a quiet, hushed, prayerful attitude which is evoked by an abundance of suspensions and resolutions within a relatively conservative harmonic context. The beginning tempo marking of Espressivo is intended to convey a feeling of rubato throughout, but not overly so. The fortes should never be thunderous, but the pianos should be exquisite, with the final amen eliciting a sense of renewed beginning rather than a final ending.l

Duration 2:45.

SATB choir, a cappella - Easy/Medium

SKU: PL.9533

Composed by Sam Batt Owens. Parish. Choral, Advent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9533. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9533).

Dr. Owen's adaptation of Psalm 72 alternates between a direct prayer to God of Come, O come down and various verses of the psalm. The address always appears in a gentle, rocking rhythmic motion while the verse settings change in accordance with the text. A combination of rich vocal timbres and a moderately slow tempo is used to give a sense of meditation to this Advent anthem.

SATB choir (div)

SKU: CA.965900

Composed by Giacomo Mezzalira. Edited by Stefan Schuck. Contemporary Choir Music. Sacred vocal music, Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hymns in praise of the Virgin Mary. Full score. 8 pages. Duration 8 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 09.659/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.965900).

ISBN 9790007165901. Text language: Latin.

Mezzalira places his worked entirely in the tradition of Catholic church music: Gregorian elements are associated likewise with Palestrina's counterpoint and Bruckner's sonorous expansin. Thoroughly in the tradition of the motet, the Memorare is structured in four sections, each in accordance with their respective texts. This large structured composition begins in C minor from the depths of the men's voices, building to a song of lamentation which increases to an harmonically enriched E flat major passage on the words virgo maria. In the second section, harmonically in A flat major, Mezzalira places the upper and lower voices in a double choir opposed to each other in block-like manner in order to develop resonating cantilenas in the third part, which is in F major. After a very simple, tender four-part setting of a hymn the composition ends with an Amen with large modally enriched chords in D major.

Originating from the busking scene in cities across the nation in the 1980s, street “bucket” drumming has become inseparable from the modern day music teacher catalog due to its reliance on found materials, overabundance of plastic and coolness factor.

Text by the composerTranslation: engl. (E. J. Dent), ital. (V. Levi), port. (G. de Medeiros)Place and time: Bergamo, around the 18th century.Characters: Ser Matteo del Sarto, master tailor (baritone) - Abbate Cospicuo (baritone) - Dottore Bombasto (bass) - Leandro, Cavaliere (tenor) - Arlecchino (speaking part) - Colombina, Arlecchino's wife (mezzo-soprano) - Annunziata, Matteo's wife - Zwei Sbirren - Ein Karrner - a Donkey - People at the windows (silent parts)The idea behind this work was to combine a major speaking role with a part for a female singer and orchestra in the spirit of the opera buffa. The overall tone is pacifistic and anti-bourgeois. Busoni's inspiration was that of an opera-play in the style of Italian improvised comedy; he wanted types and characters on stage whose varying typology would provide the source of conflict ... The title hero absconds with the young wife of the Dante-reading tailor Matteo. He returns as a false barbarian commander, as a husband who engages in a duel with the suitor Count Leandro, and as a conqueror who announces the moral of the story in the epilogue: how to be able to bow in rags and still retain one's dignity and rights. The piece takes a turn for the absurd when the Abbate, at the sight of Leandro, who is presumed dead, begins to sing a chorale-like song of praise to the donkey of Providence who comes trotting in at that moment. This introduces the most musically refined number in the piece, the quartet, in which Leandro's love aria and his duet with Columbina satirize the attitudes prevalent in Italian opera from Scarlatti to Verdi. Musically, Busoni uses throughout the entire work an idiom of dance-like, blissfully transparent comedy and hides harmonic audacities behind touches of lightness. The orchestral sound radiates an incomparable brightness and buoyant elegance. (Hans Heinz Stuckenschmidt, 1967)

In the appendix, EB 9433 contains the later composed aria Wer siegt? Wer fallt?..

Commission ed for the BBC Singers for “Carols for a New Millennium,” a CD released in November 2000, this piece was first performed by the choir of Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford under the direction of Stephen Darlington. The text is included in an English translation by the composer and the original 15th century Spanish underneath. The text begins “Let there be joy on earth and heaven,” and the music certainly couldn’t reflect this any better. The music is playful and happy, with an unforgettable organ part that dances without ceasing. Your choir will find this fresh and fun.
