Very Expressive, Please! Jan Dismas Zelenka's musical setting of Psalm 50, Miserere mei Deus, was presumably intended for the 1738 Holy Week. Thus, the composition is situated chronologically between the Missa Sanctissimae Trinitatis (1736)* and the Missa votiva (1739), two compositions from the cycle of Zelenka's five late masses, considered the culmination of his sacred-music work. Strong contrasts are a conspicuous stylistic feature of the Miserere c-moll, which Zelenka moderates by embedding them within the entire work's cyclic arch form. The score and parts of this new edition are based on volume 108 of the series Das Erbe deutscher Musik, which was comprehensively revised by Wolfgang Horn in 2018, especially the preface and the critical report. Zelenka's artistic personality, his biography and his compositional style are utterly distinctive. His style is highly experimental. Was Zelenka really one of the greatest composers of the 18th century, or only one of the most interesting? I think that he still has several surprises for us. (Schweizerische Musikzeitung)Zelenka's Masses - fine specimens of Baroque choral literature, some parts of which are set even more colorfully than in the corresponding compositions by Bach.

SATB choir & organ (SATB) - easy

SKU: OU.9780193410855

Composed by Bob Chilcott. Sacred choral - mixed voices. Vocal score. 12 pages. Duration 4'. Oxford University Press #9780193410855. Published by Oxford University Press (OU.9780193410855).

For SATB and organ Chilcott's setting of Psalm 96 is bright, optimistic, and celebratory. The sparkling organ part and fluctuation between 7/8 and 4/4 metres give the opening and closing sections a dance-like feel, while the central section is still, soft, and reflective.

SAB choir, cantor, assembly, keyboard accompaniment, C instrument, cello, bassoon, guitar - Early intermediate

Composed by John T. Kyler. Arranged by Zack Stachowski. Celebration Series. Sacred. Octavo. With guitar chord names. 12 pages. GIA Publications #10468. Published by GIA Publications (GI.G-10468).

UPC: 785147046813. English. Text Source: Based on Psalm 91 and Julian of Norwich, 1342-1416. Text by Julian of Norwich. Scripture: Psalm 91.

“All Will Be Well” is, above all, a song of hope. While it is easy to become discouraged by the systems of injustice that pervade our world, Julian’s text reminds us that life and love always prevail. Care should be taken to sing each refrain with this conviction and confidence while still respecting the suggested dynamic markings, as too much power can jeopardize the gentle folk-style of the piece. The verses should start with room to grow dynamically, building throughout, leading to strength and conviction in the refrain.

SSATB choir and organ - Intermediate

UPC: 688670220401. English. Psalms 119:18, 33-5.

Selected verses of Psalm 119 are set for SSATB voices and organ. Unexpectedly, the music is rhythmic and angular, yet still lyrical. This piece would be a memorable one for any accomplished ensemble. The organ part is a non-stop tour de force and requires a very capable player. The choral parts are also a bit challenging in spots. The combined effect is worth it and we think your choir and your listeners will acclaim the results.

Motetten fur 5 Stimmen. Composed by Orlande De Lassus. Edited by Bernhold Schmid. Softbound. Complete Works. Vocal Music Between Genres. Renaissance/early Baroque. Complete Works. 302 pages. Breitkopf and Haertel #SON 339. Published by Breitkopf and Haertel (BR.SON-339).

The present volume contains the Psalmi Davidis Poenitentiales, seven penitential psalms that had already been supplemented with the motet Laudate Dominum de coelis in the first edition (1584). In the Complete Edition, however, the compilation is preceded by the vocal piece S u Su p e r per Super (1567), which experiments with syllables. Though reprinted many times, it was assigned to various genres according to its place of publication: while the piece was considered as a motet in Germany, in France it was classified as a chanson and in Italy as a madrigal a unique case in the reception history of vocal music in the 16th century. To this day we still do not know the significance of the vocal text Super flumina Babylonis, which gradually evolves out of syllables. Perhaps Lasso wanted to depict a biblical scene that evokes the gradual learning of a language.

SATB choir, organ - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.0320

Composed by Richard Elfyn Jones. Choral, General. Octavo. Paraclete Press #0320. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.0320).

This is an exciting and challenging setting of Psalm 46. It opens with a fanfare-like figure from the organ and a homophonic setting of the text. Be still and know that I am God, acts as a refrain throughtout the work, while Jones explores different vocal textures and rhythmic settings to illuminate the text. After a climatic setting of The Lord of hosts is with us, the organ reduces to a low trill and a final statement of be still. . . brings the work to a peaceful conclusion. This would be an excellent wrok for a large church or university choir.

This charming anthem is a great addition to your adult and/or children's two-part repertiore. The exuberant spirit of Psalm 150 inspires the simplicity of the song. The attractive, animated melody in the refrain is set in a two-part dialogue. The rhythm shifts slightly in the verses while still incorporating the choral interchange. Consider this for your combined-choir efforts. Performance of this work is a wonderful way to celebrate community and our shared individuality as the people of God.

Well -known in his day as one of the most important contributors to East's Whole Book of Psalms (1592), Farmer was in the service of the Earl of Oxford who, more than any other nobleman, established the professional Elizabethan theatre. In the year that Burbidge opened the Globe Theatre, these 18 madrigals (the most famous is probably Fair Phyllis) gave the composer an attractive place in the history of English music.

For SATB and piano or organ This uplifting setting of words from Psalms 24 and 118 is bold and energetic, whilst still easy to prepare. Passages for unison voices flower into harmony over a supportive accompaniment for piano or organ. The anthem would be particularly well-suited to a Palm Sunday or Advent service.
