Par DOVE JONATHAN. Into Thy Hands contains two prayers of St. Edmund, beautifully set for a cappella choir by Jonathan Dove. Technically, this piece is well within the grasp of most choirs and would make a memorable concert work, anthem or introit. The Choral Signature Series introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. The series draws in a …

For Pentecost or any time during the year, this new anthem offering is spirited while maintaining a sense of mystery and wonder. Some imitative interplay among voices leads to a hushed 'alleluia' conclusion. / Choeur (SATB)

for soprano, flute, clarinet, saxophone, violin, violoncello and piano. Par PECOU THIERRY. If a chanson is combined with a birthday celebration (in this case, that of the Ensemble Utopik who commissioned this new work), this inevitably brings back scenes of childhood. For me, Adieu Madras conjures up memories of the homeland of my family, and in particular Henri and Jacqueline Salvador whose wonde…

Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. Messiah is the supreme example of the English Oratorio. A meditation on the life of Christ, the work is a brilliant amalgam of traditional Italian Opera, English anthem and German Passion. Reprinted from the authoritative edition, this full-score edition will be welcomed by all who want to study this masterpiece./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Vespergesang. Par MENDELSSOHN-BARTHOLDY FELIX. The bass part also contains an arrangement for organ (Paul Horn) This responsorium and anthem, 'O lux beata', represents a challenge and an enrichment of the spiritual literature for male choir.

From the creative minds of Keith Getty, Kristin Getty, and Fionan De Barra, this Celtic-styled anthem is truly joyful and fresh. Suitable for Thanksgiving or any time, it seamlessly incorporates the Doxology. The optional violin obbligato will add a true Celtic touch! / Choeur Mixte (SATB)

for SSAATTBB and Organ. Par DOVE JONATHAN. Praise Him with the Sound of the Trumpet was commissioned by Alan and Victoria Young to celebrate the eighteenth birthday of their daughter, Kate, to whom the anthem is dedicated. The first performance was given by the Choir of Guildford Cathedral, in which Kate had been a chorister for some time. Kate's great love of music guided the composer's choice of…

Auld Lang Syne. Par TRADITIONAL. This traditional melody is known worldwide as a song of farewell. Jan Van der Roost treated it as an anthem in this splendid arrangement. The melody is brought to us in whole or in part by various instruments and is surrounded by logical yet original - sometimes surprising - chords that dare to fluctuate. After a broad tutti, the ensemble begins to die out. The pie…

Par LARSSON LARS-ERIK. Norge i rødt, hvitt og blått ('Norway in Red, White and Blue') was commissioned by the Oslo Fagott Choir (yes, that is indeed a gay men?s choir) for a concert with The Staff Band of the Armed Forces in 2015. I was given artistic licence to write a more modern and somewhat ?eclectic? arrangement for this originally Swedish melody written by Lars-Erik Larsson, which became som…
