Chorus a cappella

SKU: BR.CHB-5381-00

Composed by Howard Arman. Choir; stapled. Chor-Bibliothek (Choral Library). Song; Music post-1945; New music (post-2000). Choral score. 80 pages. Breitkopf and Haertel #ChB 5381-00. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.CHB-5381-00).

ISBN 9790004413821. 7.5 x 10.5 inches. English.

As director of the Bavarian Radio Choir, Howard Arman has been actively engaged with international Christmas carols through various Christmas-related CD productions 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 frohliche [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 frohliche 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.

Written for the 2015 National Association of Pastoral Musicians conference, the notes for this piece state the hymn tune is “crafted to echo the beauty and simplicity of American hymn tunes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.” The text evokes images of peace, social concern and discipleship while reminding us of the promise of the future.

SATB choir with divisi, organ - Difficult

SKU: PL.9921

Composed by Donald Hunt. Cathedral. Choral, General, advent. Choral score. Paraclete Press #9921. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9921).

This singular work was originally written for the Three Choirs Festival in Worcester in 1995. The version published here is for choir and organ, but was originally performed in a version for the choir and orchestra. The work was inspired by the discovery of a beautiful chant tune,Ad Coenam Agni Providi. This tune pervades the entire work, as does Victimae Paschali and two hymn tunes: Rockingham and Victory. The reviews of the premiere performance were unanimous in their praise: This is most assuredly among the finest of contemporary choral compositions. (Musical Opinion) Hymnus Paschalisrequires choral forces (dividing into three choirs at one point) of great accomplishment and skill as well as a virtuoso organist.
