A Chamber Cantata for Holy Week or Easter. Par MARTIN JOSEPH M.. From ministry to humility and Calvary to victory, the story of Christ's redemptive grace is clearly presented in this meaningful offering. There is a pleasing blend of original material with familiar hymns, along with a scripture-based narration. This flexible chamber cantata includes two final songs: one for Holy Week, and the other for Easter. A smaller, yet effective orchestration provides instrumental or track options, while voice dominant tracks make learning convenient and approachable. A cantata of remembrance, reflection and resurrection! Songs include:A Quiet Gathering; Somewhere in the Silence; Prepare Your Hearts; I Heard the Voice of Jesus Calling; Just Beyond the Palms; In the Stillness of This Moment; Silent Was the Night: The Lamb Is Silent Now; The Silence Speaks; Set Free Your Alleluia!

Arranged for SATB, here are five all-time classic Christmas songs with a warm and nostalgic feeling.O Holy Night and Silent Night both originated in 19th century Europe while Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas was introduced by Judy Garland in a 1944 Hollywood musical. Silver Bells was a 1950 Livingston-Evans pop hit but surely the most famous of them all is Irving Berlin's White Christmas, the 1940 song for which its composer had high hopes the moment he completed it. Conceived as a nostalgic number, White Christmas was a slow starter but went on to become a huge success and, for many, the ultimate Christmas song.These arrangements lend themselves to being performed separately or in seamless succession for a Classic Christmas recital audiences will love. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Paul Mealor's I Pray for Treble Voices, SATB Chorus and Piano. This is the Vocal Score for this sublime choral work, written by the renowned Welsh composer whose works have reached number one on the UK singles chart, as well as having been played at the 2011 Royal Wedding.Featuring words and music composed by Paul Mealor, this festive-themed carol is a beautiful work for choirs looking for a fresh addition to their Christmas repertoire. Including interpolations from favourite carols like 'Silent Night' and 'O Come, All Ye Faithful', this truly has the makings of a modern classic. Composed by Mealor, I Pray has a strong musical pedigree, with the composer having written for the 2011 Royal Wedding and the Military Wives Choir whose rendition of 'Wherever You Are' shot to number one in the UK. This means he's no stranger to emotive works that capture the spirit of a nation, combining poetic words with soaring melodies, his songs are known to be some of the finest contemporary choral works around. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

These three a cappella movements each originate from different largescale compositions, some for fairly substantial forces. In these works, when the focus is turned on the essence of a statement, I have (probably out of pure instinct) permitted all adjuncts - such as subtle orchestral accompaniment, opulent percussion, soloists, electronics etc. - to fall silent and tried to express myself through pure choral singing. There is a saying originating from the Judeo-Christian tradition of thought: 'The last shirt has no pockets.' Perhaps this can also be applied within the field of music when one is attempting to penetrate to the essentials. Harald Weiss / Choeur Mixte A Cappella

Par ARMAN HOWARD. Howard Arman, director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions of his choir in the past years. This has resulted in a number of original arrangements for four- to eight-part mixed choir a cappella, shedding new light on well-known classics such as O du fröhliche [O, you joyful], Stille Nacht [Silent Night] and Lasst uns froh und munter sein [Let us be happy and cheerful]. The first volume includes five Christmas carols from the German-speaking regions. They range from simple but harmonically intriguing settings such as Lieb Nachtigall, wach auf [Dear nightingale, wake up] to eight-part sound paintings with bell-like chimes as in O du fröhliche and classical double choir settings such as Resonet in laudibus . The second volume includes five Christmas spirituals with English texts, forming a contrast to the solemn and festive character of the first. The choir can prove its swing and jazz qualities here; the stirring arrangements are a gain for classical Christmas concerts, too. Following the tradition of the spiritual, some settings also require soloists, which can, however, also be recruited from the choir if adequate singers are available. The first piece combines the spirituals It?s a Birthday and Wasn?t That a Mighty Day to form a medley, Ain?t That a Rockin? gives a moment of tranquility before the likewise rousing spirituals Mary Had a Baby and Little David conclude the volume. In both volumes, Howard Arman provides a short preface in German and English, explaining the background of each piece and giving advice on performance. / Date parution : 2022-07-20/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte a Cappella
