Alan Bullard's Star Of The East for SATB and Organ (or Piano).  This attractive setting of Reginald Heber's 1811 hymn for Epiphany was originally published as part of The New Oxford Easy Anthem Book. Bullard brilliantly captures the mood of the text through varied choral textures expressive harmony and an evocative organ (or Piano) accompaniment.

A meditation based on the traditional Seven Last Words of Christ-Wondrous Cross is a reflective work suitable for church or concert choirs at Passiontide. Bullard skilfully weaves the traditional Seven Last Words of Christ with linking biblical passages 3 well-known hymns and settings of 4 well-known sacred texts including 'Drop drop slow tears' and 'Ave verum corpus' (both of which may be sung as independent motets) to create a moving and at times dramatic work. The short solos are perfectly suited to members of the choir and strings (quartet quintet orensemble) may optionally join the organ or piano in the accompaniment. If performed liturgically the work may be interspersed with prayers and readings. The result is a flexible and striking work that re-presents this timeless story for a modern audience. String parts and full scores are available to hire or purchase from the Music Hire Library.

This anthology of ten mixed-voice anthems by Alan Bullard combines new material written specially for the collection with established favourites from the Oxford catalogue some of which appear here for the first time with SATB scoring. Including the joyful Cantate Gloria and the beautiful From the break of the day Alan Bullard Anthems contains an attractive selection of works suitable for a variety of liturgical seasons and will appeal to all mixed-voice choirs.

Setting a popular text paraphrased from the Song of Solomon Rise up my love is an uplifting anthem ideal for Easter services although the text's beautiful springtime imagery would also make a lovely feature in any concert programme.The work contains expressive word painting with moments of intensity alongside phrases of utter stillness. There are opportunities for soloists and the flexible scoring allows choirs to decide whether to perform the piece unaccompanied with organ or with piano.This anthem will be included on a forthcoming CD by Selwyn College Cambridge (Regent Records).

Alan Bullard's Creator Of The Stars Of Night for solo Soprano and SATB choir with optional Organ accompaniment.This is a peaceful setting of the Latin hymn text translated by J. M. Neale. Partially based on the plainsong melody Conditur alme siderum the music features sonorous harmonies subtle time changes and fluid choral homophony with a beautiful soprano solo that floats over the other voices.The work may be performed unaccompanied or with Organ doubling the voices (excluding the solo line).

Grades 6-8-Studies Nos.31-50 for unaccompanied Flute. These have been carefully written to explore different aspects of the flautist's technique through the grades.

This expressive anthem by Alan Bullard brings together excerpts from the gospels that express God's commandment to mankind to love one another. Underpinned by a flowing Piano or Organ accompaniment Love one another explores this profound topic with sensitive harmonies and effective modulations. Although suitable for performance throughout the church year this anthem would be particularly affecting in a Wedding or Maundy Thursday service.

Setting Of Dover Beach-This dramatic setting of Matthew Arnold's vivid poem Dover Beach for high voice and piano treats the performers as equal partners and reflects the seamless blend of continuity and change reflected in the poem. Lasting 8-9 minutes this is a challenging but worthwhile and moving recital piece.
