Angel - SATB A Cappella

Yes I Am Your Angel by Gabriel Jackson for SATB unaccompanied.The text for this imaginative and effective piece by Gabriel Jackson is a response to Allen Ginsberg's A Supermarket in California by Latvian poet K rlis V rdi š translated here by Ieva Lešinska. As in Ginsberg's poem the initial setting is a supermarket depicted with vivid imagery such as 'a weary shrivelled apple' before the angel protagonist expounds on their observations about contemporary society. Pleasingly alliterative lines such as 'he'd babble boozily about tanks' are artfully given rhythmic emphasis by Jackson who fullyexploits the dramatic intent of the poem giving space for the text to come through by homophonic setting a pure harmonic language and often sparse textures.

One of the most poignant and beautiful songs of the '90s, now in an a cappella setting. This Billy Joel ballad is simply stunning. / Voix Mixtes

This a cappella collection of pieces for mixed choir by Eric Whitacre is the first available printed music compilation of its kind for the composer. The book includes pieces of varying difficulty wide-rangingin theme from the iconic Sleep and Water Night to the quietly angelic Lux Aurumque (Light and Gold) and the recent Nox Aurumque (Night and Gold). A Boy and a Girl and ThisMarriage are both wonderfully tender pieces and the inclusion of the early Go Lovely Rose marks the beginning of a journey through Whitacre's choral output from this first success to the present day.Eric Whitacre is a Los Angeles-based composer and conductor who is held in the highest esteem everywhere inspiring and motivating a new generation of singers and musicians. His music creates a visceral impassioned response in audiences and performers. In 2008 the all-Whitacre choral CD 'Cloudburst' released by the British ensemble Polyphony on Hyperion Records became and unexpected international best-seller topping theclassical charts and earning a Grammy nomination. The BBC raves that 'what hits you straight between the eyes is the honesty optimism and sheer belief that passes any pretension. This is music that can actually make yousmile'.

Roche Jerome. Par ROCHE JEROME. The importance of Venice in the 16th and 17th centuries hardly needs emphasizing here, and in many ways this collection of eight motets represents some of the most well known composers in the renaissance and baroque eras - figures such as Andrea Gabrieli, Willaert and Monteverdi. In fact, most of the composers represented here were employed at the infamous basilica of S. Marco at some point in their careers, providing a wonderful coherence to the collection./ Recueil / Voix Mixtes

Psallite Choral Series. From our Psallite Series, we present a sacred tone poem destined to be an important addition to the choral canon. Luxurious in harmonic language, this octavo framed in Latin describes the angel's announcement of Christ's birth to the shepherds. Emerging poetically from stillness and darkness with fragile sound, the piece opens organically as the divine glory of light breaks forth with angelic Glorias in luminous chords. Divided voices and evocative watercolor-like dissonances create a substantial sonic stack, a challenge worth taking for choirs of distinction. The cyclical text returns to the opening darkness and silence before ending with peace. Magnificent!

This angel chorus has soul! Nancy Price and Don Besig have blessed us once again with a lively original spiritual for Christmas. From their cantata The Wondrous Story “Glory to God!” is sure to be a favoritewith your choir and congregation. Light and spirited this a cappella anthem captures the almost giddy feeling of joy and excitement the shepherds must have felt once they recovered from their angel visitation. “Glory toGod!” brings infectious glad tidings of great joy to your church and to all people!

Beginning with a strong fanfare this selection eventually moves into the traditional French carol “Angels We Have Heard on High”. But the greatest part is when Ms. Foncannon brings in Beethoven's “Ode toJoy” and weaves them together as if they have always meant to be joined. The Christmas classic nature of the song enables this church anthem to work in many school situations as well. Available: SATB 2-Part.
