The first of a trilogy of choral works A Year's Carols for SATB Choir and Organ commissioned by David Whitehead and the choir of St John's Cathedral Portsmouth.

Scored for SATB and organ this is a beautiful and intense musical description of the journey of the Magi to the stable in Bethlehem. The opening suggests a long tedious camel ride following the star and builds through to a glorious finale.

A Hymn Of The Nativity a Carol for Soprano Solo and unaccompanied SATB chorus. Words by Richard Crashaw.

The world loves to sing. From barbershop groups to madrigal choirs to vocal rock bands there are tens of thousands of vocal groups in America. The success of mainstream television programs such as Glee and The Sing-Off not only demonstrates the rising popularity of vocal music; it reflects how current trends inspire others to join in. In addition through various online and on-the-ground vocal music societies the ???a cappella market??? is well defined and well connected. Like singing itself a cappella is a global phenomenon.At the heart of every vocal group is the music it performs. This often means writing its own arrangements of popular or traditional songs. This book is thelong-awaited definitive work on the subject wide ranging both in its scope and in its target audience - which spans beginners music students and community groups to professional and semi-professional performers vocal/instrumental songwriters composers and producers - providing genre-specific insight on a cappella writing.The tone of the book is instructive and informative yet conversational: it is intended to stand alongside any academic publication while remaining interesting and fun. A Cappella Arranging is a good textbook - and a ???good read??? - for every vocal arranger whether amateur or professional; every vocal music classroom and any professional recording studio.

La série ' Chanter en Canon ' rassemble à ce jour quatre recueils de canons. Chaque livret, regroupant environ 25 canons, ne recherche pas l'unité de style, ni l'unité de niveau d'exécution. Le parti pris est celui de l'anthologie ou du florilège. Enseigner et divertir dans la diversité, tel en est le but de cette collection. / 2 À 4 Voix A Capella
