Melo
dious evening songs lend
themselves to a quiet
ending or an
imaginatively accented
concert. This choral
collection is a selection
with about 40 English,
German and international
lullabies and evening
songs of stylistic
diversity, with easily
singable settings for a
mixed choir, some of
which include piano
accompaniments. The
repertoire ranges from
Baroque and Romantic
works to contemporary
works, with settings
newly-composed for the
collection and well-known
lullabies and evening
songs. The conductor's
volume includes a CD with
recordings of selected
pieces. The songs chosen
are largely from the
German and English
repertoire, but also
include pieces in
Spanish, French, and
Russian. With well-known
compositions by composers
such as J. S. Bach,
Brahms, Elgar,
Mendelssohn Bartholdy,
Rheinberger, Scholefield,
Stanford, and Sullivan.
Ten of the songs have
been newly-arranged
specially for this
collection by leading
composers (Ludwig Bohme,
Daniel Carter, Ian
McDougal, Gunther Martin
Gottsche, Reijo Kekkonen,
Clifford W. King, Andrej
Makor, Giacomo Mezzalira,
Christoph Muller, and
Peter Schindler). Easy to
medium difficulty. Mainly
for (S)SATB choir a
cappella, a few settings
with piano accompaniment.
A CD with selected songs
is included with the
conductor's volume. The
choral collection is
published as Conductor's
volume with CD and
editionchor (budget
edition for choral
singers).
