Par GOODALL HOWARD. Commissioned for the congregation and choir of St Francis Church, Simon’s Town, South Africa, this beautiful choral work by Howard Goodall sets a moving text attributed to St. Francis of Assisi. Combining Goodall’s trademark lyricism with a striking trumpet countermelody and accessible organ accompaniment, Promises of grace exhibits all the features that Goodall’s music is so loved for. This work is an ideal choice for both professional and amateur choirs and is suitable for services and concerts. / Choral Music / Répertoire / Voix Mixtes

Par BULLA STEPHEN. As one of the great pillars of church hymnody, the song All Creatures of Our God lives through the centuries. The associated words are attributed to St. Francis of Assisi and they were wed to this melody in a hymnal first published in 1623. The setting adds a contemporary flare to the tune by combining it with up-beat, original material. / Niveau : 3 / Hymnes et chorals / Répertoire / Concert Band ou Harmonie

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer who was passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on Rhythm, Colour and Ornithology' in 7 volumes. / Chant Et Piano
