Messiah 1741 - new light on Handel's masterpieceThe focus of this new edition is the Messiah as first conceived by the composer in 1741: before its first performance in Dublin in 1742, before the first London performances of the mid 1740s, before the final Foundling Hospital performances in the late 1750s. The editor succeeds in creating a 21st-century edition from the perspective of 1741, making clear that Messiah was a genius hit from the start.Messiah 1741 - the first and only complete edition of Handel's autograph scoreThorough information on Handel's performance practice in 1741 (including topics such as orchestration, continuo, text underlay and specific questions on interpretation)It offers a reconstruction of the wind parts according to contemporary sourcesPiano vocal score with contemporary vocal ornamentationFirst edition including the German text by Herder - a monument of the German enlightenment - which is contentwise and phonetically closer to Jennens' text than any other translation, therefore being a perfect singable alternativeThe appendix contains additionally the most popular and important aria versions composed after 1741 for practical reasons.Throughout this new edition, creative yet pragmatic scholarship shines through, and the Preface and Critical Report are thorough and unusually fascinating. ... I'm very happy to own the full score, and if I were starting out now, I'd invest in the whole kit and caboodle.(Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)

The central message of the text (set to the tune EL CAMINO) asserts that the image of God in Christ is best seen in the plight of the rejected of society, and that we are closest to God when we give to, share with, and love them. This festive hymn setting facilitates congregational singing with Latin percussion which points to the ancestry of the tune and text. Flute and brass quintet lend extra color.

SATB choir and SA treble choir, piano or full orchestra

SKU: EC.RBM-123

Composed by Randol Alan Bass. 21st Century. Octavo. Duration 5:00. Randol Bass Music #RBM-123. Published by Randol Bass Music (EC.RBM-123).

This composition was commissioned in 2012 by the Sacramento Choral Society, combined with the Sacramento Children’s Chorus, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the former institution. Sacramento Choral Society Music Director, Dr. Donald Kendrick, served as the conductor for the premiere of the work in December of that year.

This is the second setting of this text by the composer [RBM-118]. Rather than the 4-movement structure of the previous composition, this version has been cast into one, uninterrupted movement. Although much more brief than the earlier multi-movement work, the entire liturgical Magnificat text has been utilized.

In addition to the SATB materials, the work features a treble chorus (children or women’s voices) – which may be alternatively sung by selected women’s voices drawn from the mixed chorus rather than requiring a separate SSA ensemble. The piece is characterized by a neo-Baroque styling, which is suitable for Holiday programming as well as other choral-orchestral concert situations. This work is particularly effective when programmed at the beginning of a concert or concert half, given its fanfare-like opening and broad lyrical phrasing throughout.
Duration: 5:00.

Arranged for SATB choir, two keyboards, strings, and optional harp, with soprano, tenor (optional) and baritone soloists, this fresh and unorthodox interpretation reflects on the words of the Latin Mass by juxtaposing them with poems in English. This movement does not use an English text, however. The Latin text is from a motet for the feast of Michael the Archangel and describes his victory over a dragon. Despite its chant-like setting, there is great energy and urgency, with the organ punctuating and adding to the rhythmic drive in many spots. Duration 2:30.

And there is perhaps no better source of inspiration and guidance for today’s conductors than the experiences and insights of choral giants who have blazed the trail we now tread. In Search of Inspiration is a collection of in-depth interviews with fifteen highly respected choral conductors from around the world. Each answers a series of fundamental questions about how they shaped their achievements: How do they balance their time making music and fulfilling teaching schedules and concert schedules? How do they motivate students, manage outside professional commitments in the educational setting, and satisfy administrators? Each conductor generously shares their wisdom and expertise, discussing memorable educational moments on the podium and in the classroom, recounting stirring experiences in the concert hall, and sharing stories about their work with historic figures in music. They also offer insights on programming repertoire and explain how they have successfully navigated a career in music. These interviews document the through lines within the choral art—elements of performance and mentorship stemming from such luminaries as Julius Herford and Robert Shaw that connect so many of the great conductors. A fascinating and relevant read for any choral educator, In Search of Inspiration explores the choral art through extraordinary 20th- and 21st-century voices whose artistry and influence will be felt for generations to come. Gregory Gentry is director of choral studies and the Lynn Whitten Choral Music Faculty Fellow at the University of Colorado Boulder. He is editor of the Gregory Gentry Choral Series (Fred Bock Publishers), past president of Arizona ACDA, and former chorus master with the Phoenix Symphony and Colorado Music Festival. Gentry states that he felt it was time to revitalize and update the book In Quest of Answers: Interviews with American Choral Conductors (Howard Swan and Carole Glenn).
