Par NOURSE NANCY. The four preludes included in this collection are each based upon a tune associated with a particular time of the church calendar. The Lenten prelude, Meditation upon 'Forty Days and Forty Nights', likewise employs a theme with interpolations approach. The hymn tune, Heinlein, is most closely associated with the English text, 'Forty days and forty nights, Thou wast fasting in the wild'. However in the midst of this piece occur short musical representations of the three temptations. In the case of the Variations on an Old French Carol, its association is with both Easter in its text of 'Love is Come Again' and in its Christmas text of 'Noel Nouvelet' (or as sung in English, 'Sing We Now of Christmas'). The advent prelude, Meditation upon a Sarum Plainsong, uses the 7th century plainsong chant Conditor Alme Siderum as its basis, with frequent trope-like interpolations occurring between the phrases. Even more simply conceived, the rendering of the Victorian Christmas hymn, Once in Royal David's City. The first verse is played sweetly and simply, while harmonic material is added for verses two and three./ Répertoire / Flûte Traversière

Easter Cantata. Par PACHELBEL JOHANN. Christ lag in Todesbanden (Christ lay in grim death's prison) Easter Cantata In recent years the demand for making available a larger number of choral works by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706) has made itself felt more strongly than ever before. Within the past few years the search for unpublished manuscripts of choral compositions written by Johann Pachelbel has been taken up again and not in vain. Approximately twenty instrumentally accompanied arias and thirty elaborate choral works intended for services of worship have recently been found. These date from the days when Pachelbel was an active church musician in Erfurt and Nuremberg and include compositionsof various categories, e. g. motets, cantatas, magnificats, and masses. The excellency of Pachelbel's choral works may be attributed in large part to the magnificence and splendour of their tonal character. They are unusually vocal, choral, and singable. In the very best sense of the term they are what the Germans call 'Gebrauchsmusik', that is to say, they are functional music written for specific use in the church, service. They are not music written for its own sake. Full score, performance material (BA2875), choral score (BA2875-91) available for sale/ Répertoire / SATB, 4 Parties Mixtes, 2 Violons, 3 VioleSBasson

Here's a brisk and singable a cappella treatment of a Sacred Harp tune from veteran arranger Hal Hopson. Perfect as an Easter morning call to worship, an alternate general worship text is also included, making this anthem useful for anytime. / Choeur SATB A Cappella

An exquisite new offering from Howard Helvey! The text is general enough to be appropriate during most of the liturgical year, but the resurrection imagery makes the anthem especially suitable during Eastertide. It is also fitting for All Saints', Missions emphasis, or times when the role of music in worship is celebrated. Features optional congregational participation. The optional solo trumpet is available as a free download. / SATB
