Peter Schindler's full-length secular choral work Sonne, Mond und Sterne (Sun, Moon and Stars) narrates a love story based on old texts which are given a new interpretation through these musical settings. Some individual numbers were published in spring, and now more movements with piano accompaniment are available in print and digitally.- choral work of medium difficulty- will appeal to experienced Brahms Requiem singers as well as ambitious chamber or youth choirs with a gospel, pop or jazz background-cross-over between jazz, chanson, and chamber music Peter Schindler about Was ist die Welt?A strict Allegro ben ritmato symbolises how inexorable the course of the world is. The choir chants the question about what Welt (the world) actually is. Hectic bustle is expressed through a pulsing basic motif. This is repeated constantly and moves through the parts. A lyrical B flat minor in the central section allows us to float like shadows on the way into a dream.The song text is a collage. The first verse, by the Baroque poet Christian Hoffmann von Hoffmannswaldau, is concerned with the vanitas motif: the world, and everything which seems beautiful to us, is ephemeral. The second and third verses were written in the 18th century by Johann Gottfried Herder. Here, the poet expounds the view that real life does not take place in the world and that people's mathematical abilities are insufficient to measure space and time.

Written to commemorate the Passion of Christ, this cantata is a moving tribute to His life and ministry. Composed for maximum flexibility and scored for SA(T)B voices, the optional cued notes make it possible for the cantata to grow with your choir. Smaller choirs will enjoy the rich textures and larger ensembles will be able to engage their full resources. For churches that desire an instrumental component, a very modest consort instrumentation creates a reverent accompaniment. The narration contains scriptures and prayers to convey the graceful theme of Christ's sacrificial love. Ending with the crucifixion, A Gathering of Grace will set the stage for Easter morning.

Songs include: Prelude of Shadows; In the Stillness of This Moment; Ask of Me; Palm Branches; A Light in the Upper Room; Jesus, in Gethsemane; The Day the Cross Held Up the Sky; A Green Hill Far Away; Recessional.

The field of sacred chamber music, apart from vocal music and the solo-organ repertoire, often lives in the shadows. Thus the reprint of this valuable trio is all the more welcome. The organ has the same role here as the piano in a piano trio! (Wurttembergische Blatter fur Kirchenmusik May 1993, p. 192). Score and part available separately - see item CA.5014900.

Score. Composed by Simon Holt. Music Sales America. Classical, Contemporary. Softcover. 44 pages. Chester Music #CH82775. Published by Chester Music (HL.14043783).

Simon Holt 's 3rd Quartet is the third of six pieces which make up a cycle with the overall title 'Terrain'. Lasting around 23 minutes, this wonderful work is arranged for String Quartet and was co-commissioned by The Radcliffe Trust, NMC Recordings, Internationales Musikfestival Heidelberger Fruhling and Wigmore Hall. The premiere was performed on 19th January 2015. The six different compositions, of which 3rd Quartet  is the third, are for different combinations of stringed instruments, featuring Piano in the second piece. The music that comprises 3rd Quartet  is drawn from the other parts of the cycle as a whole, yet in a reverse order. In this way the piecedevelops what has come before, foreshadows what's to come, all the while encompassing the entire cycle in a single piece.

Cantata for Christmas Day - Urtext. Composed by Johann Kuhnau. Edited by David Erler. Choir; stapled. Orchester-Bibliothek (Orchestral Library). Cantata; Baroque. Sheet Music. 8 pages. Duration 25'. Breitkopf and Haertel #OB 32120-16. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.OB-32120-16).

ISBN 9790004350485. 10 x 12.5 inches.

This cantata is a composition by Kuhnau for the first of the Christmas holidays [Christmas Day] and one of his most extensive works. It is underlaid with the free poetry of a hitherto anonymous author, not including any Bible or chorale texts. Though the dating has not yet been clarified, the structure - two recitative-aria pairings, framed by two magnificent tutti movements - indicates a genesis period within the last years of the composer's tenure as St. Thomas cantor in Leipzig. Additional indications are the triple use of the da capo form as well as the four-part vocal setting, partly differentiated in solo and tutti, taking the individual parts to the limits of their ambitus as was later customary with Johann Sebastian Bach.Particularly noteworthy are two details of the instrumentation: Firstly, there are three violin parts in the score, the first of which has to master an exceptionally virtuoso solo part. Secondly, in the third movement, Kuhnau expressly notates an obbligato organ solo part, not to be found in any of his other extant compositions. This virtuosic part also already foreshadows the later and far more famous obbligato organ parts in various Bach cantatas.

Cats’ Night Out follows the adventures of a cat as it makes its big escape to explore the magical mysteries that await our feline friend in the darkness of the great outdoors. The opening line foreshadows the upcoming movements of our cat as it experiences a night outside. The first movement, On the Prowl, musically represents the cat as it roams around the neighborhood looking for adventure. The second movement Mouse Hunt, melodiously depicts a cat as it hunts down its favorite prey the mouse. The surprise ending represents the mouse making his great escape. This is a truly enjoyable selection for students and audiences alike. This programmatic work is an excellent choice for your next concert.
