English. Translation: Unknown. Text by Traditional Spanish.

“Sin g, Dance” is an imaginative traditional Spanish text in translation that evokes dancing in colorful, changing meters. “What shall we bring of gifts for the King?: a cake baked brown and sweet, a mouse gray and small…”! The organ part whirs, bounces, and twirls to a full-organ ending. Careful observation of the wide dynamic range is important to bring this fun text to life.

A rhythmic setting of a traditional Spanish text.

Large work, published here in Piano/Vocal version only. This oratorio deals with the conversion to Christianity of the 9th-century Bohemian pricess Ludmila, grandmother of the first great Czech hero, St. Wenceslas. Although Ludmila was virtually unknown outside the Czech lands, the original British audience easily identified with the libretto's universal themes of faith, love and patriotism. This edition is a reissue of the original Novello P/V score, with some note corrections, addition of measure #s (to correspond to the orch score) and permormance notes. Full score and parts available from Supraphon (distributed by Baerenreiter).

For SATB and flute, with optional piano Wales, Our Land was composed during late summer 2002 in response to a commission from the Welsh Heritage Program at Green Mountain College, Vermont. This lilting, beautiful choral work sets text by an unknown Welsh-American slate quarryman which speaks of the poet's love of his country of origin, perhaps, even, his longing to return. It is this sense of longing for the homeland (in Welsh, hiraeth) which infuses the composition. The work is sung in English but the words Wales, our land, may be substituted for the three recurring Welsh words, Cymru, ein gwlad.

Bac h's Cantata BWV 69a of 1723, which has remained largely unknown to the present day, is now available for the first time in a practical edition with this Carus publication. It has been unjustly neglected as it was overshadowed by the Cantata BWV 69 of the same name, a piece which Bach reworked to celebrate the inauguration of Leipzig Town Council in 1748. On that occasion Bach re-used the parts from 1723 for simplicity, and adapted them for the new use by means of cuts, alterations, and additions - something which certainly did not mean that he rejected the 1723 version. This version can readily be recovered from the parts of 1723, if we explore beyond the alterations of 1748. With its rich wind instruments and great opening chorus, the 1723 cantata is in no way inferior to the later festive music in terms of musical splendor. The text takes the Gospel reading about the healing of the deaf and dumb man as a reason for praise and thanks for God's good deeds. In contrast to the later version, in which God is thanked for the wisdom of the Leipzig authorities, the original version of 1723 is free of such contemporary references, and is suitable for use in worship and concerts in many different ways. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3106900.
