A festive concertato for All Saints, Pentecost, and general use, this begins with a lengthy introduction (options for a shorter intro are specified). Using the tune WIE SCHON LEUCHTET, the composer has fashioned an upbeat setting of this hymn for congregation, soprano descant, SATB choir, and organ. The use of brass quartet and timpani is optional. Stanza one is in unison, stanza two is a choral variation for SATB choir, accompanied. There is an interlude which draws from the introduction, and stanza four is unison with descant.

In its touching tenderness, the Christmas Story op. 10 by Hugo Distler is one of the most beautiful temptations for any a cappella ensemble at Advent or Christmas time. With its scoring for four-part choir, from which all the soloists (Evangelist, Maria, Elisabeth, Herodes, Simeon) can easily be drawn, it is proof that the Christmas message can be conveyed with the same simple, sublime brilliance as with the old masters. The seven variations on Es ist ein Ros entsprungen which run through the work are much more than merely a framework for the story - they are also great music within themselves, making the work an extremely suitable and useful addition to the repertoire. Score available separately - see item CA.1001100.

SATB Choir and Organ

SKU: HL.14035285

Composed by Peter Warlock. Music Sales America. Classical. Choral Score. Music Sales #NOV310462. Published by Music Sales (HL.14035285).

The Five Lesser Joys of Mary begins with a conventional Nativity scene - the ox and the ass for warmth, the star, the Wise Men - to verses attributed by Warlock to one Daniel Lawrence Kelleher, editor of Christmas Carols (No. 18 in the second series of Augustan Books of English Poetry) where the anonymous verses were published.

The fourth stanza recounts Jesus 'Confounding the doctors, the poor little Child,' while the fifth carries us to Calvary and a singularly lame conclusion as Mary 'Saw Jesus droop over and lie very still, She thought of the good times they had long ago When He'd droop in her arms and she'd singhusheenlo.'

Str ophically composed, with small variations, Warlock's tenderness seems generic.
