Opera in Two Acts / soloists, mixed choir (SATB) and orchestra

Par MUHLRAD JACOB. Ay Li Lu explores the concept of lullabies as a universal human phenomenon by incorporating elements of Yiddish folk music and the chanting of the transfinite number of Pi. The piece aims to create a transition from an awakened state to an unconscious state through its musical transformations. The composer draws inspiration from Judaistic notions of sleep and the idea of the bod…

This full-sounding choral work with a driving, rhythmic intensity may be performed a cappella or with the piano doubling the voices. ABA form makes for quick learning. Secular text is perfect for school chorals . . . and a great festival work, too. Note: The SSAB edition is excellent for choirs with few men. / Choeur Mixte (SSATB) A Cappella

Par PORTER COLE. Written by Cole Porter, I’ve Got You Under My Skin became a signature song for Frank Sinatra and was one of his most requested songs at concerts. In 1966, the song became a top ten hit for the Four Seasons and has also been covered by countless others since. A key piece to include in any programme celebrating the Great American Songbook. This piece is part of the Faber Choral Sin…

The struggle and suffering described in spirituals go hand in hand with an overwhelming sense of hope for a better life. Deep River is one of the most popular spirituals; its long-phrase melody calls for sustained breath control and a real sense of shape. Much contrast can be made between the first and second sections of the melody, and enjoy the more adventurous harmony around the words ‘where al…

Par FORBES L'ESTRANGE JOANNA (Arr.). Wade in the Water is a lively and infectious spiritual. Its features include a call-and-response texture, jazz ‘scat’ vocalization and finger clicks on beats 2 and 4 of the measure. This arrangement by Joanna Forbes L’Estrange remains true to the spirit of Eva Cassidy’s well-loved version, adapting the instrumental improvisation on the recording to create a fun…

Cantus Missae. Par RHEINBERGER JOSEF GABRIEL. According to Otto Ursprung, Cantus missae is the “most beautiful, pure vocal music of the 19th century”. This is Rheinberger’s only Mass written for double choir. It obtains its special character through the use of compositional techniques of ancient classical vocal polyphony, which are combined with functional harmony and expressive, songlike voice-le…

Par LACHNER FRANZ. Among his compositions, Franz Lachner, the long-serving Music Director of the Court of Munich and Director of the Royal Choir, left behind a considerable number of sacred works, including two settings of the Stabat Mater. The first Stabat Mater, op. 154, from 1856 was strictly for a vocal ensemble; the second, op. 168, from 1870 (see p. 5) included strings and organ, in which th…

Par DUNPHY MELISSA. Melissa Dunphy is an original and exciting composer living in the USA, though of Australian background. Her piece Halcyon Days, written to a new text from her regular collaborator poet Jacqueline Goldfinger, creates a period of calm during winter storms where we reflect on what we have lost but rise up to face the new year with joy and grace. Written for SATB unaccompanied choi…
