The Gibbons Hymnal contains the 17 hymn tunes composed by Orlando Gibbons for George Wither's The Hymnes and Songs of the Church (1623), many of which are still popular today. This is the first modern edition which incorporates Wither's hymn texts beyond the first verses. Gibbons composed treble and bass lines for the hymns - editor David Skinner has constructed the inner voices to create a collection of pieces that can be performed either as hymns or as simple anthems. Also in this volume are Gibbons's ten surviving full anthems, including popular works such as Almighty And Everlasting God and his masterpiece, O Clap Your Hands , alongside lesser-known compositions such as the beautiful miniature, O Lord, I Lift My Heart To Thee , and, presented here in a new reconstruction, I Am The Resurrection And The Life . / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

Cantata for the 1st Easter Day. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm Der Himmel Lacht! Die Erde Jubilieret BWV 31 (The Heavens laugh, the earth exults in gladness) BWV 31 Cantata for the 1st Easter Day - Performance material (BA10031), vocal score (BA10031-90) and study score (TP1031) available for sale. The text, by Salomon Franck who was the librettist of some of Bach 's the best-known cantatas, is closely linked to the account of Easter and recalls the jubilation at the resurrection of Jesus. Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No groupof works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par ARCHER DARRELL. When a prelude or offertory is played, it is obvious when the congregation occasionally gets ?swept away? and becomes intensely involved in the spirit of the music. Some may even begin to clap their hands in response to a favorite rhythmic hymn, gospel tune or anthem. With its messages of hope, resurrection and redemption, the music of the Easter season is a source of great joy and celebration for Christian believers. This collection presents the thrill and excitement of the Easter message through creative and engaging keyboard arrangements composed in the country/gospel style. Chord symbols are offered above the grand staff so that rhythm backup players can be included, and as an aid to those with improvising skills.While these melodies communicate the good news of the gospel, some of the arrangements are more subdued and reflective, while others are more energetic and upbeat. / Date parution : 2022-06-08/ Recueil / Piano

Górecki's Church Songs, based on melodies from Rev Jan Siedlecki's ?piewniki Ko?cielne ('church songbooks'), were composed in 1986. This edition is based on the PWM edition of 2013, which was produced with the assistance of Anna Górecka and Miko?aj Górecki. A special feature of the Boosey publications is the new, alternative Latin sung text by Edward Tambling, which will be attractive to the many choirs who do not wish to sing in Polish. The Latin text is carefully crafted to fit Górecki's score and is both poetic and sensitive to the devotional aspect of the songs. English translations from the Polish are also included, for reference only.The three publications present the songs for sacred use according to devotional subject-matter. In concert performances the songs, or a selection of them, may be performed in any order and combination. Vol 1 contains six songs in praise of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The seven songs in vol 2 take the themes of Good Friday, the Crucifixion, The Cross of Christ and the Resurrection. Vol 3 contains seven songs in praise of St Joseph, St Anne and St Nicholas, the Blessed Sacrament, the Trinity and the Black Madonna of Cz?stochowa. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) A Cappella

Offertorium Zum Ostersonntag. Par EBERLIN JOHANN ERNST. Eberlin’s programmatic setting of the offertory “Terra tremuit” was written for the festive liturgy of Easter Sunday at Salzburg Cathedral, which in the 17th and 18th centuries was a center of the cultivation of the polyphonic offertory. Verses 9 and 10 of Psalm 76 [Vulgata 75], with their vivid description of the earth trembling and falling silent are Eberlin’s basis for the offertory. Eberlin depicts the earthquake by means of a written-out tremolo of the strings, and by staccato singing of the syllables of the word “tremuit”. The Resurrection is depicted musically by ascending figures at the words “dum resurgere”. An Alleluia concludes the work./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Clarines, Timbales,
