Latin Church Music. Par TALLIS THOMAS. EECM 64 focuses on Latin polyphony by Thomas Tallis that is either demonstrably Henrician or can plausibly be dated to before 1547, and includes the Mass Salve intemerata and several Latin antiphons. A reconstruction of the contrafact Se lord and behold (with words by Henry VIII?s sixth wife, Catherine Parr) is published here for the first time, after the man…

Par RODGERS SARAH. Choral settings of ‘Lift up your heads, O ye gates’ from Psalm 24 are numerous, from that of the sixteenth-century Geneva Psalter of Claude Goudimel to the present day. Unsurprisingly so, as the text has many appropriate liturgical applications. In this jubilant setting, The King of Glory, Sarah Rodgers has provided church choirs of all abilities with a truly celebratory anthem …

The alternative between chorus (full) and soloists (verse), so characteristic of this composition, may if necessary be rep…

Par PERGOLESI GIOVANNI BATTISTA. Shortly before his death, Giovanni Pergolesi moved to the Franciscan monastery in Pozzuoli, where he composed his last works. Among these is his Stabat mater - based on the medieval Latin poem. The piece reveals the infusion into church composition of the operatic style. Pergolesi's Stabat mater features a lively declamation of the text and great melodic appeal and…

Par ARCHER DARRELL. This collection consists of nine engaging piano arrangements of well and lesser-known gospel tunes in an arranging style reminiscent of Floyd Cramer. Pianistic ornaments and flair have been added without obscuring the original melodies. These selections are appropriate for church services, recital programs, informal gatherings, or simply as expressions of personal devotion. Sug…

Pierre Boulez wrote two pieces for solo violin, called 'Anthèmes' I and II. This is the first and shorter of the pair and was composed in 1991 for the Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition. Taking inspiration from childhood memories of Catholic church services, Boulez created a piece of two distinct sonic worlds, in seven short parts, ending with a 'col legno battuto', characteristic of Boulez's witty…
