g the UK's most noted
choral composers and
conductors, Ronald Corp
does not hesitate to
bring his own musical
vision to a much-loved
poem by the
sixteenth-century
lutenist songwriter and
'Doctor of Physick'
Thomas Campion, following
the example not only of
Campion himself but also
of Charles Wood and
Hubert Parry. Eschewing
the manner of Parry's
resonant polyphony for a
simple harmonised setting
in a flexible verbal
rhythm reflecting the
measure of the words,
this is a heartfelt plea
for spiritual release
uttered in a quietly
elegiac tone, in which
the serenity of the
entreaty rather than its
pathos is to the
fore.

George Frideric Handel.

Anonymus.
In 1734
Handel provided the
pasticcio “ Oreste
†for his third
operatic enterprise
which, following the
bankruptcy of the Royal
Academy and its successor
academy, felt threatened
by competition from the
newly-founded Opera of
the Nobility. Hence, the
composer did not compile
the work from favourite
movements from his own
and other composer's
pieces as was usual at
that time; rather in
“ Oreste †he
presented a selection of
the most beautiful arias
and ensembles exclusively
from his own operas. In
addition, he expanded the
ballet and choral scenes
which he thought would
make a great impact after
the move into the newly
built Covent Garden
Theatre. As most of
the singers in his
Italian company had been
enticed away by the
competition, Handel
increasingly began to
engage English virtuosi.
He probably even worked
on the new version of the
libretto himself in order
to place the new stars in
the limelight to the best
effect.
The new
vocal score is based on
Volume 1 of the
Supplement to Series II
of the “Halle

Published by Zimbel Press
(SU.80101359).
Commissioned by
King’s Chapel,
Boston, Massachusetts, in
celebration of its 325th
anniversary, this longer
a cappella work uses a
text assembled and
adapted from various
Biblical passages. From
the composer's
introduction: The anthem
begins grandly with words
from Psalm 89 celebrating
God’s
all-encompassing
faithfulness and love. An
alleluia refrain follows
and returns several times
throughout the work.
However, it is not a
majestic, Handelian
alleluia, but rather one
of inward passion and
fervent introspection.
The next section begins
joyously with the
familiar prophesy from
Zechariah; it is followed
by several brief Gospel
scenes from the life of
Jesus. After another
alleluia, words of
blessing from Psalm 103
are set vigorously before
the work closes with a
final alleluia. Recorded

The
main ingredients of Lars
Karlsson's musical
expression are
free-tonality,
traditional forms and
natural musicianship that
builds on the two.
According to the
composer: there is no
such thing as atonality
-- as long as you work
with fixed tone pitch. I
would rather be inclined
to think that tonality is
inherent in the structure
of tones, whether we want
it or not. In other
words, we are dealing
with a law of nature.

The
Complete Vocal Works
Johann Pachelbel is known
today as a composer of
organ music and of a
world-famous instrumental
canon which frequently
features in concert
programmes and recording
catalogues. However, the
same can be said of only
a few of his vocal
compositions. At most,
the motets appear
occasionally in church
music repertoire.
Pachelbelâ??s arias,
vocal concerti and
large-scale Magnificats
have received little
attention up to now.
Church musicians and
musicologists have long
wished for a critical
edition of these
important works, which
survive in Pachelbelâ??s
manuscript and were
largely composed in his
main places of work,
Erfurt and Nuremberg . As
always with such
ventures, new discoveries
are to be expected
regarding the body of
works, source material
and the context of the
works. This concerns not
only beautiful music, but
rather a deepening of our
understanding of
Pachelbel as a key figure
between southern and
central German
traditions, and the
recognition of an oeuvre
which has all too often
been pushed into the
shadows by the mighty
Bach.
The
Critical Edition
The edition aims to make
available all of Johann
Pachelbelâ??s surviving
vocal works in the best
possible form. It is
edited by the Institut
für Musikwissenschaft
at the University of
Erlangen-Nuremberg and
the Institut für
Kirchenmusik at the
Kunstuniversität
Graz.
Two
volumes per year are
planned.
As a
chronological order is
not possible in many
cases, the individual
works have been arranged
according to scoring
within their groups.
Fragments and works where
Johann Pachelbelâ??s
authorship is doubtful
appear at the end of the
respective group.
Each volume includes
an introduction (Ger/Eng)
and a Critical Commentary
(Ger). Format 25.5 x 32.5
cm; cloth-bound

Thomas
Campion's Never
weather-beaten sail is a
sprightly text that
powerfully evokes the
sailor's plea for God's
calming presence upon the
sea's unrelenting rushing
waves. At the opening of
this work for
unaccompanied mixed
voices, the jaunty
alto/tenor movement in
thirds symbolises the
curling waves of the
undulating sea, the
mellifluous soprano
melody represents the
boat's sails, and the
bass section's
never-changing 'A'
provides the anchor. All
four voices then come
together in homophony,
urging God to come
quickly...and take my
soul to rest. Rather than
a simple repetition of
thematic material in the
manner of a standard
hymn, the texture alters
through the rest of the
work until the very end
where all voices
gradually fade away into
the distance, leaving
what seems like a lone
voice in the wilderness
to cry to Thee.
Contrasting to other
well-known setting of
this text, this new work
provides a fresh
interpretation, suitable
for intermediate
choirs.

Stephen
Collins Foster lived from
1826 to 1864, until only
age 37. He was extremely
prolific, with numerous
songs that have lasted to
this day. I first had the
idea to arrange Beautiful
Dreamer for SATB choirs a
cappella, after hearing
Kristen Chenoweth in
concert. She ended her
concert, in a 1,600 seat
hall, with Beautiful
Dreamer, an a cappella
solo, with no microphone.
Given the beautiful
melody, text and Ms.
Chenoweth's voice, one
could have heard a pin
drop in the audience. Her
performance concluded to
thunderous applause and a
standing ovation. The
power of music.
Throughout this
arrangement, the
harmonies support the
beautiful melody and text
(rather than get in its'
way). Opportunities
abound for vocal parts to
be showcased as well as
an optional solo/duet at
the beginning. Sing
freely, with pure vowels,
crisp diction and
sensitivity, allowing the
text to prevail by giving
special attention to
stressed and unstressed
syllables and words. I
hope you enjoy singing
this arrangement in
rehearsal and performance
to the delight of your
audience. Tell the story
through song because
that's what we should
always do when performing
choral music. Russell
