Bach's
cantata BWV 151, whose
wonderfully heartfelt
opening aria has been
rightly numbered among
Bach's most inspired
ideas (Alfred Durr), was
composed for the 3rd day
of Christmas 1725. Flute
and oboe d'amore lend
pastoral coloring to the
chamber music sound
picture. The oboe d'amore
was not originally
included in Bach's score;
after completing the
score he added the part
to the orchestra for the
first performance. In a
later performance about
1728-1731 Bach replaced
the flute by a solo
violin, adding various
performing instructions
and ornaments, of which a
flautist can make use in
his originally rather
modest part. This new
edition by Klaus Hofmann
replaces the 1962
publication by Diethard
Hellmann. Score and part

WithElversku
d(The Erl-Kings
Daughter), Gade presented
his secondsecular cantata
for soloists, choir and
orchestra, the first
having been his
successfulComalaOp. 12
(1845/46). The genre was
quite popular among his
contemporaries. This
time, Gade planned to
base the work on the text
of a folk song.
Originally, he had
approached Hans Christian
Andersen for a text but a
collaboration did not
materialize. The text
Gade ultimately chose for
his music was that of a
ballad most likely penned
by Emil Erslev and Gade
himself. A German
translation by Edmund
Lobedanz was added at a
later time.
The
composition, started in
1851 and finished in
March of 1854, soon
became an international
success and one of Gade's
most-performed works. In
1864, the composer made a
number of changes to the
instrumentation. While
the new version was
subsequently used for all
performances conducted by
Gade, the changes were
never incorporated into
the printed edition of
the score. This edition
is the first to present
this 1864
version.

partner song setting of
the colorful poem The
Rainbow is just right for
choirs seeking to build
harmony-singing skills.
Independent yet
complementary melodic

to retain their
individual parts, while
the cascading piano
accompaniment subtly
reinforces key notes and
entrances. A great piece

lydian. English. The
Vastness of the Universe
Jonas Hallgrimsson
(1807-1845).
About
Jónas
HalgrÃmsson
(1807-1845) was an
Icelandic poet, author
and naturalist, who is
considered one of
Iceland's most renowned
poets. Considered a
Romantic writer, the
strong imagery in his
poetry was influenced
heavily by the landscapes
around him.The imagery,
excitement, and curiosity
of the universe leapt off
the page and the music
almost wrote itself.
Reflecting on the cosmos
and origin of the
heavens, the poetry
elicits excitement and
stirs spatial imagery -
...speeding spark of
light, ...wings swifter
than wind..., ...I
watched the stars...rise
from the still stream of
heaven... The pure and
almost child-like
fascination with the
universe and its
expansion and progression
fuels the perpetual
rhythm of the work as it
continually pushes
forward.A good friend
asked if I would write a
song for her ensemble.
The original voicing, for
SAB choir, contained
parameters in that it had
to be three-part with a
limited range in the Bass
part. With these
stipulations I began to
write. I searched for
something that would be
exciting for them and
landed on Jonas
Halgrimsson’s
writings. I believe it is
equally as exciting,
accessible and
challenging for
tenor-bass
choirs. Directorâ€
s NoteTruly consider
how the work can come to
‘life’ off
the page. Rise and fall
with phrase and sometimes
each note. The magic
exists beyond the ink on
the page!Consideration to
range, tessitura, and
content was all
considered as part of
this process in creating
music that is accessible
to all programs and
ensembles.Accompaniment
NoteThe accompaniment can
look intimidating, but
please feel free to alter
the pulsing eighth notes
in the left hand with the
eighth notes in the
right-hand so it creates
a compound rhythm. So
long as the momentum of
the work is pressed
onward, you are doing
this work
justice. About JÃ

(1807-1845) was an
Icelandic poet, author

considered one of

Romantic writer, the
strong imagery in his
poetry was influenced
heavily by the landscapes
around him.The imagery,
excitement, and curiosity
of the universe leapt off
the page and the music
almost wrote itself.
Reflecting on the cosmos
and origin of the

elicits excitement and

watched the stars...rise

Chen
Yi’s original A
Set of Chinese Folk Songs
included ten songs, first
arranged for the vocal
ensemble Chanticleer to
perform with students in
the
“Singing-in-the-Sch
ools†programs in
the 1990's. Taken from a
wide range of geographic
regions in China, with
rich characteristics and
expressive contrast, the
set has been sung by many
choirs around the world
in the past thirty years.
Three songs from that
collection have been
thoughtfully arranged
into a three-movement
suite for intermediate
string orchestras,
bringing this beautiful
Chinese folk music to
even more young
musicians. The
celebratory Fengyang Song
is from Anhui province
which is popular in the
whole country. The
lyrical love song Flowing
Stream is from Yunnan
province in the
southwest, and the
passionate and vivid
Mayila is from the ethnic
group known as Kazakhs in
the northwest.

Original.
The text
for the first voicing
(SSA) of this piece came
to me in the fall of 2020
while teaching at Crosby
High School in Crosby,
Texas. My students,
though enthusiastic to be
back in Choir, were
struggling to cope with
the civil unrest around
them, in addition to the
pandemic. When
considering how I could
help them navigate this
time, I realized that
they were in need of some
sort of consistency, of
feeling grounded in
themselves. As weÂ
focused on building of
community and
citizenship, this text
and tune came to mind,
each phrase highlighting
an element of personal
and community wellness.I
lead with my
spirit keeping love in
the circle around me.
(Social)Expressing my
spirit
(Occupational)Loving what
I can see and cannot see,
I'll take care of the
vessel I am in
(Physical)I love with me
that's under the skin
(Emotional)Taking care of
my mind
(Intellectual)Envisioning
the me I want to be
(Spiritual)I had the
honor of collaborating
with composer/educator
Saleel Menon to create
the beautiful piano
accompaniment and SATB
setting.Who I Want To Be
opens with a solo
functioning as a mantra
throughout the tune. As
the piece continues,
voices join in unison and
harmony to emphasize the
intent.When the repeats
in mm. 48–51
occur, invite students to
share some of their own
mantras and affirmations,
or feel free to borrow
from the words my
students in the Crosby HS
choir inspired me to
write:Allow yourself
graceI am persistentI am
fragile, not brokenYou
are worthyI am worthyI
know that your success is
not my demise!The only
validation I need is my
ownI believe in myselfI
see youIt’s okay
to not be okayBreatheI
love and I am
lovedPrepare yourself for
not only a powerful
performance, but a
rewarding experience and
conversations with your
students.THIS is the
piece you want stuck in
your students’
heads!~CRM.
