Par DEARMER PERCY / VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. Un favori ferme avec des choeurs pendant de nombreuses années, il s'agit d'une collection classique des chants traditionnels. Au cours des cinquante années écoulées depuis sa mort, Vaughan Williams est venu à être considéré comme l'un des meilleurs compositeurs britanniques du 20e siècle. Il dispose d'un catalogue particulièrement vaste d'oeuvres, y compris les oeuvres chorales, symphonies, concertos et opéras. Ses recherches et son imagination visionnaire, combiné avec une flexibilité dans l'écriture pour tous les niveaux de la création musicale, a signifié que sa musique est aussi populaire aujourd'hui qu'il l'a jamais été./ Recueil / Chant

Par BLEZZARD JUDITH. Baroque Christmas Classics is an inspired volume bringing together well-known tunes such as In Dulci Jubilo and Resonet in Laudibus with superb lesser-known material from the 17th and 18th centuries by JS Bach, Eccard, Scheidt, Schutz and Schroeter. The Choral Programme Series is a well-established programming tool for many choirs as it offers a wealth of fresh material from many eras and in many styles. / Choral Music / Recueil / Voix Mixtes et Piano

Kantate Zum 23. Sonntag Nach Trinitatis, Bwv 139, 1724. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's chorale cantata with its opening text 'Wohl dem, der sich auf seinen Gott recht kindlich kann verlassen” (Tis well with him who on the Lord trusts just like a child) BWV 139 was performed for the first time on 12 November 1724 in the main Leipzig church service. The cantata text, based on the hymn of the same name by Johann Christoph Rube (1665-1746), is in praise of trust in God. In the opening chorus, full of depth of feeling, the hymn melody is heard throughout - this is followed by a lively tenor aria 'Gott ist mein Freund” (God is my friend) with a musical depiction of the adversary raging in vain, and in the bass aria 'Das Unglück schlägt auf allen Seiten” (Misfortune assails me on every side) Bach presents both drama and Baroque imagery. One of the two solo violin parts for the tenor aria is lost, so our edition offers a reconstruction. The virtuoso violin part of the bass aria was evidently based on a part for violoncello piccolo, now lost. The edition provides for performance by violin or violoncello./ Répertoire / Chœur Mixte et Piano

Die Schöpfung. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. The oratorio 'The Creation' represents not only a crucial point in Joseph Haydn's compositional output, but at the same time, marks the beginning of a new chapter in the history of the oratorio. At the turn of the 19th century, Haydn broke with the traditional dominance of the arias, giving the chorus a distinctly greater significance. This opened the way for a new kind of choral oratorio which became one of the standard features of developing bourgeois concert life. This choral score supplements the existing performance material (BA 4648). It is based on the G. Henle Complete edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn'./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte SATB

Par LIST HELGA MARIA. This collection contains 33 new children’s songs for ages kindergarten through third grade. The collection is designed to appeal to children in all age groups, as is especially indicated in the table of contents. Musically the songs – many with refrains and suggestions for playing games – are ideal for children and are similar to folksongs. The songs encompass a wide range of themes, including animals [dinosaurs too], games, fairy tales, stories, the body and the senses, living, hiking, the circus, songs with gags which can be performed . . . . The cheerful tone throughout these songs finds its counterpart in the rich, colourful illustrations. A true picture book./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte

Par HALL ALEX. This stately and sonorous grace was written for a celebration held at Oundle School of the civil partnership of two friends of the composer, who points out that as one studied at Oxford and the other at Cambridge, he chose a text with no association to any particular college! Though appropriate in purpose to any occasion where a communal meal is shared with a sense of thankfulness, the words, relating to God's gifts in all kinds and degrees, make it equally suitable as an introit before a service such as Evensong. The rich sound of five parts, with its prominent alto duet, reflects the parts usually sung by the dedicatees./ Feuillet / SAATB a Cappella
