Minor: Bordun. Par ORFF CARL / KEETMAN GUNILD. Carl Orff devoted much of his life to the development of a philosophy of Music for Children, based on his belief that music is the natural outcome of speech, rhythm and movement. His ideas and pioneering work have had a major influence on music and dance education throughout the world and today that work continues under the guidance of leading teachers and educators in many countries. The five basic German volumes of 'Music for Children' by Carl Orff and Gunild Keetman were published between 1950 and 1954. Edition have since been published in Bolivia, Brazil, Canada, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Estonia, France, Ghana, Great Britain (including a special Welsh edition), Greece, Italy, Japan, Korea, Latin-America, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Taiwan and the USA. In 1952 the first edition in translation appeared, an English language adaptation by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter for their Canadian and American students. A few years later, Margaret Murray independently developed a version (1957-1966), essentially to fulfil the needs of United Kingdom teachers. Inevitably the considerable growth of Orff-Schulwerk in the United States led to the publication of the American Edition (1977) to satisfy the requirements of a different educational system and national heritage. Orff-Schulwerk: Music for Children has proved itself to be a stimulating source of material for music teaching. Carl Orff's fundamental educational ideas have revitalized music education in nursery schools, at all levels of primary and secondary education and in special music schools, based on the concepts that: - music, dance and language are inter-related and animated through rhythm. - when children discover, invent, improvise and compose, their experience of music is intensified. These creative activities are complementary to those of interpreting and listening to music. - all who take part are encouraged to contribute, not only vocally but also instrumentally. - the Orff approach to music education is many sided; it is concerned with practical music-making, it provides fundamental experiences and it lays the foundation for a comprehensive musical training. - movement games and activities for body awareness in space, time and flow, lead to movement improvisation and dance forms. - music and dance have been notated in many different ways in history. Various ways of writing down sounds and music, as well as playing from and interpreting different kinds of sources are being explored. Today, countless teachers and institutions are using these ideas. More and more teachers look for ways of invovling their students in active music making. In particular, they seek to challenge their pupils' creativity by the use of music, dance and speech - as media of human expression - as a foundation of all education. A prerequisite for work in Orff-Schulwerk is the artistic and pedagogical training of teachers. The Orff Institute was founded in 1961 as a Department of the 'Mozarteum', in Salzburg, Austria. Training offered includes a four-year diploma course, a two-year post-graduate course, and a one-year-course in English. At the opening of the Orff Institute in Salzburg in 1963, Carl Orff ended his speech with a quotation from Schiller: 'I have done my part, now do yours.' That challenge has been taken up by teachers worldwide. Hall/Walter Edition Based on Volumes 1, 2 and 4 of the original German Edition 'musik für Kinder', english adaption with additional material by Doreen Hall and Arnold Walter./ Recueil / Voix, Flûte à Bec et Percussion

Four Carols for Dark Times-The set of ?Four Carols for Dark Times? was written between 2003 5 and commissioned at the rate of one piece per year for the Birmingham Bach Choir to perform at their Christmas concerts. The third carol entitled Carol was inserted later to provide a ?scherzo? movement to provide balance to the set.The poems are all by that extraordinary Welsh priest-poet R S Thomas (1913 2000) whose poetry speaks to the composer ?with a directness unmatched by any other 20th century poet?. Thomas?s writing is rich with the imagery of human frailty in relation to religion. The final poem Festival is as good an example as any of his approach: the trappings of Christmas gold holly mistletoe are used to contrast the cheapness of our self-centred celebration with the commitment required to nurture real faith. Beautifully constructed with intricate but accessible harmony and varied textures and moods this intriguing set of carols will bring an original and thought-provoking perspective to Christmas concerts and services.

Paul Mealor's I Pray for Treble Voices, SATB Chorus and Piano. This is the Vocal Score for this sublime choral work, written by the renowned Welsh composer whose works have reached number one on the UK singles chart, as well as having been played at the 2011 Royal Wedding.Featuring words and music composed by Paul Mealor, this festive-themed carol is a beautiful work for choirs looking for a fresh addition to their Christmas repertoire. Including interpolations from favourite carols like 'Silent Night' and 'O Come, All Ye Faithful', this truly has the makings of a modern classic. Composed by Mealor, I Pray has a strong musical pedigree, with the composer having written for the 2011 Royal Wedding and the Military Wives Choir whose rendition of 'Wherever You Are' shot to number one in the UK. This means he's no stranger to emotive works that capture the spirit of a nation, combining poetic words with soaring melodies, his songs are known to be some of the finest contemporary choral works around. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Chritsmas Carol-Devised as a choral Christmas waltz this carol for unaccompanied mixed voices (no divisi) by Welsh composer Gareth Treseder is a jolly setting of a traditional text. The work is structured in the manner of a hymn that becomes increasingly complex via different vocal textures. The catchy melody is passed around each part of the choir and interweaving textures should offer a welcome contrast to the common homophonic textures of Christmas music.A sure audience-pleaser this carol will also be very rewarding for the singers and will add a jovial twist to a Christmas concert of service.
