SATB choir with some divisi, a cappella - Medium Difficult

SKU: PL.9902

Composed by Peter Pindar Stearns. Cathedral. Choral, Lent. Octavo. Paraclete Press #9902. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9902).

One of three motets for various seasons, O Sacred Head is a gracious challenge to the more advanced choir. While all voices have parts of great expressiveness, the tenor line leads many of the long phrases. The writing is chromatic and somber in tone, reflecting the spirit of the text. This anthem would be appropriate for Good Friday.

The three Latin Motets from the late 1880s have long been a standard repertoire of British choirs and have often been recorded on CD. And yet, although the Anglo-Irish composer Charles Villiers Stanford is no longer unknown in Germany, they remain an insider's tip. The motets are true miniatures of a cappella music. Due to their fine motivic structure, effective antiphonal groupings, and clear harmonics, they produce tremendous sound effects in a small space. Separate editions are available.

SATB choir, organ - Difficult

SKU: PL.9333

Composed by Alun Hoddinott. Cathedral. Choral, Concert, General. Choral score. Paraclete Press #9333. Published by Paraclete Press (PL.9333).

This rich corpus of texts from Donne, Blake (from Milton), and Vaughan, provides Hoddinott with a colorful treasury from which he masterfully sets these three accompanied motets. The organ accompaniments take on an equal partnership with the choral parts in developing the dramatic musical visions. The motets may be performed separately or as a set.

Latin.

The composer wrote of his work as follows: The text of the three motets takes three motifs from the story of the birth of Jesus: (1) the joy of the Magi at seeing the Star, (2) Mary s cradle song as she rocks the Baby, and (3) the choir of Angels praising the joyful news in song. The movements may also be performed singly, but it is best for them to be heard together as a cycle. Their style and tonal system are marked by modulating modality .

So schrieb der Komponist über sein Werk: Der Text der drei Motetten greift drei Bilder aus der Geschichte von Jesu Geburt heraus: (1) die Szene der den Stern erblickenden und frohlockenden Weisen aus dem Morgenland, (2) die das Kind in der Wiege schaukelnde Maria und (3) der die Frohe Botschaft mit Lobgesang feiernde Chor der Engel. Die Sätze können auch einzeln aufgeführt werden, doch am besten ist es, wenn sie zusammen als Zyklus erklingen. Ihre Stile und Tonsysteme sind hauptsächlich von‚ modulierender Modalität‘ geprägt.“.
