SATB choir, piano - Early Intermediate

SKU: MN.CH-1172

Composed by Eli Villanueva. Spirituals. 21st Century. Octavo. Duration 4 minutes, 40 seconds. Laurendale Associates #CH-1172. Published by Laurendale Associates (MN.CH-1172).

One of six Traditional Spirituals Eli originally arranged for Solo Voice and Piano. The origin of the spiritual is generally accredited to the Christian Slaves who sang about the message of Jesus Christ and the Good News as well as a way to share their difficult conditions of slavery with each other. To honor the traditions of the Spiritual, the song marries the text and melody of the Traditional Spiritual with the colors and harmonies found in a more contemporary era. In this song, the accompaniment takes on an important role as a soloist with it's own unique melody drawn from the original. The accompaniment adds a tonal subtext to the words and emotions shared by the choir to achieve a rich, emotional offering to this traditional spiritual.

Of the Glorious Body Telling is one of several settings by Jiri Ropek of St. Thomas Aquinas' famous communion hymn, Pange lingua gloriosi. This communion anthem represents the best in practical church music: warm, accessible hormonies, memorable melody, technically within the reach of virtually any choir and musically filfilling at the highest level. Unfortunately Ropek did not date these manuscripts, so it is uncertain exactly when they were composed. Duration 3:00.

Joshu a Fit the Battle of Jerico is one of six Traditional Spirituals Eli originally arranged for Solo Voice and Piano. The origin of the spiritual is generally accredited to the Christian Slaves who sang about the message of Jesus Christ and the Good News as well as a way to share their difficult conditions of slavery with each other. To honor the traditions of the Spiritual, the song marries the text and melody of the Traditional Spiritual with the colors and harmonies found in a more contemporary era. You will notice that many of the time signatures within this song have been changed to create irregular patterns within the melody. This is to create an unstable sense of the battle, which is carried on into an optional written improvisational section that grows wildly to an abrupt end, creating a picture of a wild battle. Traditional Spititual.

SATB choir with descant, organ - Medium

SKU: PL.0218

Composed by David Halls. Cathedral. Choral, Christmas. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0218. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0218).

This spritely carol is a treat to sing and hear. David Halls has set this 14th century text in highly rhythmic fashion. The bright, syncopated organ part sets the scene for the joy at the birth of Jesus. The text mixes both Latin and English:On the birthday of the Lord, angel choirs with one accord sing in dulci jubilo, Gloria uni Deo! The mixed meter and sudden harmony changes will be a gratifying challenge for choirs. The lyrical third verse provides an effective contrast to the rest of the carol. This piece will delight choir and congregation alike.

David Halls' On the Birthday of the Lord lies somewhere between an anthem and an expanded carol setting, but it is much more accessible music. Its rhythmic vitality, easily singable lines, and verve will serve many situations with joy. I cannot think of a better offertory for Christmas day. - Rev. John L. Hooker, D.M.A. Journal of the Association of Anglican Musicians September 2003.

The opening figure in the piano is a sort-of whoo-whoo of a train whistle and the rhythmic figure starting in m. 6 is supposed to be descriptive of a steam engine chugging along the track. Thomas H. Johnson, in his Introduction to Final Harvest, a collection of Dickinson poems, posits that Emily used dashes as a musical device and capital letters as a means of emphasis. He further writes that she deliberately fractured grammar to achieve special effects. I like to see it lap the Miles is testimony to Johnson's analysis and apparently celebrates that exciting form of transportation in the 19th Century, the railroad.

UPC: 765844006297. English. Psalms 96.

Kim Norton Rich has very cleverly adapted the famous Psalm 96 with a paraphrase that gives me as the composer excellent concrete images with which to work. Whenever I feel the urge to start working on another choral or solo piece I usually first go to my Kim Rich file to find another nugget that always seems to work so well for the composer. I am eternally grateful for the skill and dedication she brings to our collaborations. -Dale Jergenson.

SKU: MN.CH-1299

Composed by Charles Kulis. Octavo. Laurendale Associates #CH-1299. Published by Laurendale Associates (MN.CH-1299).

Witness For The Fallen was written March of 2002, shortly after the tragedy of 9/11. Mr. Kulis was in the process of writing a piece for The Gregg Smith Singers for their annual composers reading in Saranac Lake, New York. In November of 2001 Mr. Kulis close friend, James Whelan, gave him a text in which Mr. Whelan wrote down his reactions to the incidents of 9/11. Mr. Whelan had witnessed so much of what happened that day from an office in a building near Grand Central Station. Initially, Mr. Kulis had no intention of using the text for the compositions he was writing. However, he found himself coming back to the text time after time while writing and ultimately made the decision to use the text. The music he wrote is tonal and straightforward. The opening section is underlined by an F major chord sung by sopranos and altos with a simple melodic line sung by the tenors. The harmony is full of fourths, major sevenths and ninths. It has a distinctly American sound. Witness For The Fallen was recorded and released by the Gregg Smith Singers in 2007.

The singers pass sounds around the hall, from one to the other, as well as perform many sections tutti. The final performance effect is to be a musical/dramatic reading.
