UPC: 038081561530. English. Traditional English Carol.

This truly unique setting of the traditional English carol pairs an a cappella choir with a single instrument. Singers will be awestruck by a harmonic structure that supports and intensifies the beloved 16th century melody. Listeners will be captivated by an emotional journey from lullaby to battle cry and back again. The pivotal obbligato adds a sorrowful overtone and may be played on oboe or any C-instrument. A dramatic setting of great depth. This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

SATB choir, a cappella - Difficult

SKU: PL.9322

Composed by Randall Giles. Cathedral. Choral, General, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9322. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9322).

Giles' poignant version of this 16th century English text is set in the traditional English carol form with verses and a burden or refrain. The frequent unison lines are laced with chromatic turns of phrase, illuminating the passion inherent in this prayer. Only at the text Blessed Jesu does Giles expand the texture vertically to bring special attention to the name of Jesus. Giles also thougthfully works each voice in the middle and upper registers with a stillness of rhythm, adding yet another dimension of serenity to this prayer for peace.

Ave Maria, gracia Dei plena; There is no rose; A Carol for Peace; Jesu for thy mercy endless are all push the envelope pieces (epecially the second), and for that reason are worth a look by composers who are interested in seeing some of the current outer limits for church and choral music. As for performance, they are for advanced church groups or college choirs only. Not for the timid! - Association of Anglican Musicians Journal.

Composed by Arr. Performance Music Ensemble; Single Titles. Alfred Choral Designs. Carol Arrangement; Christmas; Sacred. Choral Octavo. 12 pages. Alfred Music #00-48873. Published by Alfred Music (AP.48873).

UPC: 038081561974. English. Ben Cohn.

A Renaissance-era carol brought up to date in a fresh contemporary setting. Veteran Broadway music director and conductor Ben Cohn brings a modern musical theatre sound to this traditional English song. A serenely sparse piano part (during two opening alto solos) gradually grows to a full and glorious accompaniment as more voices join. Listen closely for the juxtaposed stillness/motion and minor/major that symbolize the cold of winter versus the warmth of the season. The entire piece garners edge-of-your-seat wonder, but the greatest chills will come when brief strains from four additional carols trickle in. Simply stunning.
