SATB choir with soprano voice solo, a cappella - Medium/Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0306

Composed by Randall Giles. Choral, General, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0306. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0306).

To Many a Well is a moving setting of a 16th century English carol. The text speaks of our need for healing from sin and of gratefulness in finding water to wash me. Set in verse form, the music is set in Renaissance motet style, but with a 20th century flavor. It opens with a soprano solo(burden) and is followed by three verses that are set in phrases of a gentle rise and fall in the middle voice. The effect is one of grace and prayerfulness. This would be an especially fine piece for the season of Lent.

To many a well is a glowing setting. . .This stunning music which demands a great deal of both singer's and listener's- but, like all great artists demands spring from its intensity and represent only a small token of what its creation must have cost its author. We can only continue to be enormously grateful to Randall for his gifts to our life and worship. - AAM Journal.

SATB choir, brass quintet, timpani, organ

SKU: PL.0212BP

Composed by Joel Martinson. Choral, Easter. Brass Parts. Paraclete Press #0212BP. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0212BP).

This is an unusual yet remarkably moving new anthem for Easter. Joel Martinson has taken a contemporary poem by John Thornburg that expresses all the anguish as well as hope of the three women at the tomb. The muted brass quintet creates a mournful sound as the women express their loss and pain. As the women realize that the unthinkable has happened the music builds into an inexorable crescendo of praise and hope and the piece ends on an exuberant Alleluia. The vocal parts while wide in scope are most satisfying to sing and the instrumental parts are written imaginatively so as to express the poetic text. This will most welcome as a major addition to the literature for Easter morning.

ISBN 9790006497928. 33 x 25.8 cm inches. Language: German. Text: Zimmermann, Joachim Johann Daniel / Ramler, Karl Wilhelm.

Telemannâ €™s passion oratorio “Der Tod Jesu” was composed in 1754-55, roughly at the same time as the same-named highly regarded work by Carl Heinrich Graun. Both pieces are settings of the same libretto by Karl Wilhelm Ramler. In this late work, Telemann consciously contrasts the carefully crafted recitatives with musically reduced solemn choruses to obtain an emotional reading of the Passion text.

This vocal score complements the Urtext score of this moving passion oratorio which is published as part of the “Georg Philipp Telemann Musical Works”. The complete orchestral material is available on hire.

Heari ng just one gifted voice sing an inspired piece of music can be a glorious, moving experience. Hearing it accompanied by musical instruments played by skillful musicians can be even
more exciting. But...put together a group of exceptional Human Voices, joined in perfect harmony, skillfully arranged and executed, and a cappella music can take us to even greater heights of musical expression, soul-stirring emotion, and musical appreciation!

Th e music in this book acts as a SPOTLIGHT illuminating the brilliance and exceptional qualities of the Human Voice, made even more brilliant and exceptional by virtue of the fact that these songs magnify and glorify God. SPOTLIGHT features a group of voices weaving a tapestry of sound and movement, textures and lyrics…spotlighting the Human Voice, yes, but even more significantly, spotlighting the One Who created those voices and gave us the gift of all music!

A rranged by gifted arrangers Cliff Duren and David Wise (both of whom have their own special love of a cappella music!), SPOTLIGHT is both balanced and diverse in its content, including Hymns, Worship Songs, CCM Songs, Christmas and Patriotic Songs, being done in traditional a cappella styles and in the fresh, contemporary style of groups like Pentatonix.

Many texts have been set to the well-known folk tune O WALY WALY, but it seems at home in this moving testimony of Calvary's love. A tasteful piano part moves in and out of the choral textures with sensitive understanding. The vocal ranges explore lower tessituras and thus grant a deep richness to the anthem's timbre. This octavo immerses the listener in the story and looks without flinching at the cross and its ministry of grace. Breathtaking! Score and Parts (vn, vc) available as a digital download.

Tenderly flowing with devotion and worship, this stunning original delivers a classic text in a completely new way and brings depth and understanding to its message of grace and mercy. A conservative melody carries the words in the rich lower reaches of the tessitura with a cello-like loveliness. Moving chords impact the refrain and build intensity before giving way to the hopeful words, “In His arms, I have a place, by His matchless grace.” Superb!

Christmas cantata. Composed by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. Edited by Harald Wanger. This edition: Paperbound. German title: Der Stern von Bethlehem. Innovative practice aids, Sacred vocal music, Christmas. Full score. Composed 1890. Op. 164. Duration 48 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 50.164/00. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5016400).

ISBN 9790007080211. Language: German/English. Text: von Hoffnaass, Franziska (Fanny). Text: Franziska (Fanny) von Hoffnaass.

He who seeks a moving and lyrical work with rewarding roles for the choir could do no better than to choose Rheinberger's Stern von Bethlehem. In nine scenes (Expectation, The shepherds, The appearance of the angels, The Star, etc.) the Christmas story is lyrically portrayed. Songlike and pastoral choruses, a heartfelt soprano part and finally, the exotic, charming procession of the Wisemen through the desert have insured this work an increasing popularity. It was written in 1890 to a libretto by Rheinberger's wife Fanny. On account of their similar scoring, this work can be easily combined for a performance with Mendelssohn's Vom Himmel hoch or Die Geburt Christi.
