Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1151954 Composed by Franz Xaver Gruber and Lyrics by Joseph Mohr, Bishop John Freeman Young. Arranged by Piacere Music Sheets. A Cappella,Christmas,Instructional,Romantic Period,Standards. Octavo. 10 pages. Piacere Music Sheets #752158. Published by Piacere Music Sheets (A0.1151954). Key/Tone:Â C Major Movements/Sections:Â Largo Year/Date of Composition:Â 1818 Difficulty:Â Grade 1/12 (Easy) Obs.:Â This beautiful Christmas carol is one of the best-loved carols in the world. The author of the original lyrics (in German) was Joseph Mohr (1792-1848), a Catholic priest. The composer of the music, Franz Xaver Gruber (1787-1863), was an Austrian primary school teacher, church organist and composer of the 19th century. Mohr and Gruber first performed Silent Night on December 24, 1818, at Christmas Mass in St. Nicholas Church in Austria, with guitar accompaniment, and with the St. Nicholas choir repeating the last two lines of each verse. This score is an arrangement for Choir SATB (soprano, alto, tenor and bass), set in the key of C Major. This score includes the complete lyrics in English (3 verses). The English translation was realized by Bishop John Freeman Young (1820-1885). Included:Â Full score and separated parts for each voice.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 1 - Digital Download SKU: A0.998537 Composed by Adolphe-Charles Adam. Arranged by Scott Fields Davis. Christmas,Easter,Sacred. Octavo. 31 pages. Scott Fields Davis #6560385. Published by Scott Fields Davis (A0.998537). O holy night by Adolphe Charles Adam, in my opinion, is easily one of the most beautiful and moving of all the Christmas carols. This arrangement has the chorus that we all know and love, with a few subtle changes. In this version, the accompaniment (played by two cellos) is stripped down to its essentials. Revealing its simplistic excellence. Lastly, each verse is written out with its own individual line of music. Making the text easier to read, it's no longer necessary to determine which one the four verses (usually stacked on top of one another) to sing. Approximate duration is 9 minutes and 46 seconds.

Choral Choir (SATB divisi) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.841250 Composed by Chris Gordon. Contemporary. Octavo. 18 pages. Cool Wind Music Digital #3029087. Published by Cool Wind Music Digital (A0.841250). A setting of a very powerful poem by English poet, Ted Hughes, about the onset of autumn in an English (Yorkshire) garden and the surrounding countryside. It is full of pathos and passion, harmony and dissonance, chaos and peace - just like English weather!This is a very individual and innovative choral setting of Hughes' poem which is, itself, rich in 'meaty' metaphor and colour - and the composer is a vegetarian! It evokes a savage Nature within a savage landscape where humans and animals compete for space and for food. It is October, the fields and woods and gardens of rural Yorkshire are readying themselves for the cold and desolation (and despair) of winter which isn't far away in time. 'A glass, half-filled with wine, left out(side) To the dark heaven all night, by dawn Has dreamed a premonition of ice across its eye as if the ice-age had begun its heave.' That is only two and a half stanzas but you see from these lines that there are veiled threats of (Nature's) violence in the heavy tread of the poet's slowly-building angst over what is happening in the surrounding countryside - and his fear grows, and his awe grows, with every line. There is even fear underlining the very last line: 'And now it is about to start.' Winter is creeping closer and closer towards the house and it will not be pleasant to experience!I have tried to instil a little of this in the music which keeps skidding from consonance to dissonance and back to consonance. Sometimes the dissonance piles up, like snow driven by the wind piles up into deep banks; sometimes the music relaxes into stillness and calm (painted in tonal music) like a crisp, mild late autumn or early winter's day when the sun warms the landscape and life appears bearable, tolerable. I hope this adds to the song's 'charm'. It wasn't easy to write: sometimes the right music was elusive. The music ends with the word 'October' repeated three times, with voices overlapping in a little canon. This conjures up the wistful feelings of the poet as he looks out onto a peaceful scene, soon to be filled with all manner of 'natural violence', while his inner peace will soon be shattered by the mayhem about to be unleashed around him.Setting Ted Hughes is no easy task. It is for choirs and choirmasters to judge if I have succeeded in conveying the 'sense and sensibility' of a classic 20th century English poem.The price is for one copy: please purchase a sufficient number of scores if you intend to perform this work.

Published by Kevin G. Pace (A0.701772). An original hymn with text by Kathryn Hales below.YouTube video: https://youtu.be/WhyM9qYVClI 'Twas the night before New Year’s and all through the towns, People were cheering, jumping up and down; They stood in anticipation to watch a ball drop, Or exclaimed in amazement as fireworks popped. What happens next, as a new year begins? Will people be more loving? Repent of their sins? A blank calendar now opens__months, weeks and days__ Will we draw closer to Jesus and follow His ways? That’s the way to make this a truly Happy New Year, So may we all resolve to fill it with good cheer, And all anger and fighting immediately cease, That at last we’ll have a time of good will and peace.

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.779348 Composed by John Stafford Smith. Arranged by Shelton Ridge Love. Folk,Holiday,Patriotic. Octavo. 14 pages. Shelton Ridge Love #3096887. Published by Shelton Ridge Love (A0.779348). Arranged for SATB choir with piano duet (one piano, four hand) accompaniment, this majestic arrangement of The Star-Spangled Banner is perfect for every American patriotic concert or celebration. After a fanfare opening, the audience is invited to participate in the pledge to the flag and the first stanza. The choir then sings the lesser-known second stanza, concluding with a triumphant coda.At this time, the companion recording includes only digitized voices, so the lyrics for the entire arrangement are included below. (Lyrics by Francis Scott Key)America! America!God shed his grace on thee!O say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming?And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air,Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.O say, does that star-spangled banner yet waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?O thus be it ever when free men shall standBetween their loved homes and the war's desolation!Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the head'n-rescued landPraise the pow'r that hath made and preserved us a nation!Then conquer we must when our cause it is just,And this be our motto: In God is our trust!And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall waveO'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!Ah! America!

Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1137248 Composed by John Ross. Classical,Patriotic. Octavo. 12 pages. John Ross #737448. Published by John Ross (A0.1137248). “For the Fallen†was written for Bec Beall and her choir “Lux Alba†and was premiered by them in 2019 at St Matthew’s Church, Albury, NSW, Australia. The words of this choral suite were written by the English poet Laurence Binyon in 1914, immediately after the Battle of Mons, where the British Expeditionary Force suffered a serious loss, soon after the start of World War I. The fourth verse (“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow oldâ€) has become known as the “Ode of Remembranceâ€, regularly recited at memorial services. This suite uses the words of the Ode for the first movement, with echoes of the bugle call “The Last Postâ€. The second movement, “They went with songs to the battle†portrays the soldiers as young men in fine fettle, physically and mentally fit for what lies ahead of them. The third movement, “As the stars that shall be bright as we are dust†compares the war dead to stars and constellations. They move “in marches upon the heavenly plainâ€. Will Longstaff’s painting “Menin Gate at Midnight†(reproduced on the cover of this score) movingly illustrates this concept, with ghostly soldiers marching by the Menin Gate at Ypres, Belgium. The work concludes with an alternate setting of the opening movement “They shall not grow oldâ€. A version of this suite with organ accompaniment is also available on this website.
