Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The episode from Ovid‘s “Metamorphoses” in which Daphne attempts to escape Apollo’s advances by turning into a laurel tree, causing the devastated god to weave a laurel crown in memory of the nymph, has inspired the masterworks of many artists. Gian Lorenzo Bernini, whose famous marble sculpture is housed in the Galleria Borghese in Rome, is only one example of this. Many composers set this myth to music including young George Frideric Handel with his grand-scale dramatic cantata “Apollo e Dafne”. The composer started working on the work shortly before leaving Italy in 1709, most likely finishing it the following year in Hanover. Bärenreiter now presents a vocal score of the opera-like cantata, the highlights of which include Dafne’s aria “Felicissima quest’alma” (accompanied by solo oboe) and Apollo’s famous lament “Cara pianta”./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano

You Raise Me Up , written by Secret Garden's Rolf Løvland and Irish novelist Brendan Graham, achieved its unique success mainly through being recorded by so many artists - around 150 of them to date. Originally intended as an instrumental entitled 'Silent Story' Løvland's melody only acquired lyrics after the Norwegian composer invited Graham - whose novels he knew - to turn it into a song for Secret Garden's 2002 album Once In A Red Moon . It was sung on the album by Irish vocalist Brian Kennedy and although it enjoyed some success in both Ireland and Norway, the song's eventual path to legendary status only began when Josh Groban took it to the number one spot on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Chart in 2004. Groban performed the song at several high-profile events in the US (including Super Bowl XXXVIII, Oprah Winfrey's 50th birthday celebration, and on The Ellen DeGeneres Show where he was accompanied by the African Children's Choir). Westlife raised the song's profile further when they made it the debut single from their album, Face To Face. It was to become an all-purpose inspirational anthem featured at everything from the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize concert to series 4 of The X-Factor in the UK. Daniel O'Donnell, Aled Jones, Katherine Jenkins, Il Divo, Russell Watson and The Mormon Tabernacle Choir have now all performed it, helping to turn Løvland and Graham's uplifting song into a global phenomenon and a 21st century classic. / Piano/Vocal/Guitare (PVG)

Singin' In The Rain was already a classic before it featured in the famous 1952 Gene Kelly film musical - Arthur Freed and Nacio Herb Brown wrote it in the 1920s when many artists recorded it, but more notably Cliff Edwards enjoyed success from his recording in 1929. Now forever associated with Kelly's puddle-splashing routine and more recently reprised in stage adaptations, Singin' In The Rain remains an all-time favourite. Here it has been arranged by Craig McLeish for mixed voice SAB choir with piano accompaniment. / Choeur Mixte (SAB) Et Piano
