'Wee Willie Winkie? is a well known Scottish nursery rhyme which has been sung to Scottish children from the 1840's to the present day. It tells the story of a wee boy running through the dark streets in his night gown, visiting all of the houses to tell the children to go to bed and get to sleep.This fun and simple setting employs the Scottish folk song 'Coulter's Candy? and 'Three Blind Mice? in…

Rooted in European music history due to his acquaintance with Chopin, Liszt, Berlioz and Schumann, Stephen Heller (1813-1888) is one of the most important representatives of the Romantic character piece. The Budapest-born pianist and piano teacher composed almost exclusively for his instrument. His overall oeuvre comprises more than 150 works, including sonatas, preludes, dances, variations, colle…

Psalm 117. Par GILL JOANNA. In this setting of Psalm 117 the composer has created an unusually serene and ethereal setting considering the meaning of the text. Most composers that have written settings of this Psalm 'Praise the Lord, all you Nations' have written music of a robust nature and celebration. However, this setting not only uses Hebrew text but the whole composition with the exception o…

From African Sanctus. Par FANSHAWE DAVID. David Fanshawe's setting of the Lord's Prayer was performed at the Royal British Legion Festival Of Rememberance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2004. The piece is originally part of his African Sanctus , which combines the sounds of African music with the more Latin and Anglican traditions. A simple and moving setting that brings this most devout of texts int…

Beautiful and lush, this setting of the familiar 'The First Noël,' is a great way to enforce lyrical style. In the traditional 3/4 time signature, the setting opens with a music box effect in the percussion section with a simple, yet elegant statement of the melody. This stunning arrangement develops and builds to a dramatic musical climax and relaxes back to an emotional finish. This is an uplift…

Par ARTHUR GEORGE. A serene setting for choir which features a simple step like melody with a beautifully flowing solo soprano line above. The musical setting uses two lullaby-like rhythmical ostinatos which run right throughout the work to shape the musical line. The music covers a wide dynamic range in a short space of time rising gently only to fall back down until it fades into nothing. …

Par HALL ALEX. Suitable to be sung as an Evensong anthem, this is a very simple and practical setting for Keyboard and Voice - which might be a solo soprano or treble, or unison - of a Victorian children's hymn that can still be found in numerous contemporary collections. Its flowing, unforced melody is an ideal counterpart to Sabine Baring-Gould 's words which, like the poems of Robert Louis Stev…

Love me sweet was composed for the occasion of the composer's wedding in July 2010. The text consists of four verses taken from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's ironic poem A Man's Requirements which ends with the couplet, 'I will love thee - half a year - As a man is able.' This setting responds to the purer sentiments of the earlier verses, employing a lilting metre, a harmonic idiom and a piquant s…

Par BRUCKNER ANTON. Great art in small forms ? Bruckner's smaller sacred works reveal a more personal side to the master symphonist and creator of large-scale orchestral masses. Throughout his life, Bruckner?s deep faith and dedication to the Catholic liturgy inspired him to write church music in smaller forms suitable for performance at Sunday services or in sacred concerts. The long phrases and …

This straightforward setting of the eighth chapter of the Song of Solomon, which features two people's professions of love for each other, was written for the wedding of friends of the composer in 2005.
