SATB choir, a cappella - Difficult

SKU: PL.9322

Composed by Randall Giles. Cathedral. Choral, General, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9322. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9322).

Giles' poignant version of this 16th century English text is set in the traditional English carol form with verses and a burden or refrain. The frequent unison lines are laced with chromatic turns of phrase, illuminating the passion inherent in this prayer. Only at the text Blessed Jesu does Giles expand the texture vertically to bring special attention to the name of Jesus. Giles also thougthfully works each voice in the middle and upper registers with a stillness of rhythm, adding yet another dimension of serenity to this prayer for peace.

Ave Maria, gracia Dei plena; There is no rose; A Carol for Peace; Jesu for thy mercy endless are all push the envelope pieces (epecially the second), and for that reason are worth a look by composers who are interested in seeing some of the current outer limits for church and choral music. As for performance, they are for advanced church groups or college choirs only. Not for the timid! - Association of Anglican Musicians Journal.

SATB choir with soprano voice solo, a cappella - Medium/Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0306

Composed by Randall Giles. Choral, General, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0306. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0306).

To Many a Well is a moving setting of a 16th century English carol. The text speaks of our need for healing from sin and of gratefulness in finding water to wash me. Set in verse form, the music is set in Renaissance motet style, but with a 20th century flavor. It opens with a soprano solo(burden) and is followed by three verses that are set in phrases of a gentle rise and fall in the middle voice. The effect is one of grace and prayerfulness. This would be an especially fine piece for the season of Lent.

To many a well is a glowing setting. . .This stunning music which demands a great deal of both singer's and listener's- but, like all great artists demands spring from its intensity and represent only a small token of what its creation must have cost its author. We can only continue to be enormously grateful to Randall for his gifts to our life and worship. - AAM Journal.

If you have a college choir, or an above-average high school or church choir, and if you've grown a bit weary of the same or similar Christmas repertoire year after year, look at these settings of two classic carols: a 16th-century translation of part of Luther's Vom Himmel hoch and an 18th-century work by an under-appreciated poet.  .
