Music played an enormous role in the works of William Shakespeare, while his own sonnets, poems and soliloquies have provided continuing inspiration for many composers through the years. The Novello Shakespeare Choral Collection, inspired by the 400th anniversary of the Bard's death in 2016, is an exciting anthology of choral works that are settings of Shakespeare's words. For choirs of all types and abilities, this collection has been edited by David Wordsworth so that all the pieces are fantastic both to sing and hear. The collection features some beautiful settings that have well and truly stood the test of time, such as Thomas Arne's Blow, Blow, Thou Winter Wind and Henry Leslie's How Sweet The Moonlight Sleeps. More recent settings from 20th century and contemporary composers include Ernest Moeran's Sigh No More, Ladies, Gary Carpenter's Lo, Here, The Gentle Lark and John Tavener's Fear No More and Look In Thy Glass. Not only this, the Shakespeare Choral Collection boasts several works that were specially commissioned, including John Joubert's Be Not Afeard, Richard Sisson's Light Thickens and Pawel Lukaszewki's Weary With Toil, I Haste Me To My Bed.

En 1955, alors qu'en train de travailler sur une version musicale de Candide de Voltaire avec le dramaturge américain distingué Lillian Hellman, Leonard Bernstein compose choeurs français et le Latin comme musique de scène pour la pièce The Lark adapté par Miss Hellman de la version française originale par Jean Anouilh. Puisque le drame était sur le procès de Jeanne d'Arc, la musique -s Bernstein and rsquo a été délibérément évocateur de l'époque médiévale. En fait, la musique a été jouée (sur bande) par sept membres de la New York Pro Musica Antiqua, un groupe spécialisé dans la musique de pre-du XVIIe siècle.Robert Shaw ont assisté à une des premières représentations et a suggéré à Leonard Bernstein qu'avec quelques modifications et des ajouts, la musique ferait une Missa Brevis efficace. Trente-trois ans plus tard, en l'honneur de la retraite de Maestro Shaw Directeur musical de l'Orchestre symphonique d'Atlanta, Bernstein a suivi les suggestions de son collègue. / Choeur Mixte A Cappella, Haute-Contre Et Percussions
