There are very few composers who have left such a comprehensive oeuvre covering all genres as Camille Saint-Saens. His vocal music, however, has rather fallen into oblivion - if one leaves aside his 'indestructible' Christmas oratorio (Oratorio de Noel, Opus 12). But apart from that, Saint-Saens, who worked as an organist at various churches from 1852, composed a number of little church music works: settings for different instrumentations, certainly destined to be used in services, including his Ave verum for four-part choir (including organ without pedal ad lib.). It is a simple, yet harmonically rich setting which constitutes a valuable addition to the choral repertoire and an evocative alternative to the common Ave settings.

Georg Kreisler - that's sharp, profoundly dark humor! The Singphoniker have arranged Georg Kreisler's most famous songs for male ensemble and recorded on CD. The corresponding sheet music for mixed choir SATB with piano accompaniment was published by Schott Music (Georg Kreisler - Lieder und Chansons, ED 22737). In addition to this, individual editions of all songs from the sheet music album are available: It is loaded to the summer party in the garden, you spend a good time with food, drink and pleasant company. However, this is supplemented shortly thereafter by several hungry tigers, whereupon the host sits at the end of the piece again alone on his terraceand sips with relish on his glass of wine. What a (tiger) party!

The powerful choral setting is based on texts by the Latvian national poet Velta Toma, whose work is characterized by a decade-long stay in Canadian exile. Longing for love, family ties and a certain melancholy patriotism are also the focus of her Latvian prayer. The symphonic, full sound of the catchy choral work is also due to the division into eight voice groups. Latvian.

Joe Duddell's Magnificat and Nunc Dimtis was commissioned by Presteigne Festival of Music and the Arts with funding from Kevin Jones and Laura Woodside-Jones and received its first performance by the Choir of Royal Holloway conducted by Rupert Gough at the 2011 Presteigne Festival. Duddell has acknowledged in the past that whilst composing any piece of music, problems arise that require solutions and this new setting of the Mag and Nunc is no different. The main challenge for a composer who is openly agnostic is the historical weight behind the liturgical text but taking both musical and philosophical inspiration from composers such as Holst and Tippett, Duddell's setting is a joyous and uplifting one. The work is dedicated to George Vass.

The effective choral setting is based on texts by the Latvian national poet Velta Toma whose works are characterized by her having lived in exile in Canada for decades. At the heart of her Latvian Prayer, too, is the yearning for love, family ties and a certain melancholy patriotism. The full symphonic sound of the catchy choral piece is not only due to the organ accompaniment, but also to the division into eight voice groupings.

Georg Kreisler equals scathing, dark black humour on the piano! The Singphoniker have arranged Georg Kreisler's best known songs for all-male ensemble and recorded them on CD. Schott now publishesthe corresponding music edition for mixed choir SATB with piano accompaniment (Georg Kreisler - Lieder und Chansons, ED 22737). In addition, all songs from the sheet music album are available in separate editions: Tauben vergiften im Park puts the relationship between dove and man in a nutshell and suggests a funnily described, yet ethically not correct method of taking action against the pigeon terror. This pleasant arrangement with Kreisler's humorous text most certainly creates an exuberant atmosphere in the concert.

As a singing teacher, choir director and not least as a passionate professional choir singer, Irina Rebhuna is perfectly familiar with the possibilities of the human voice. And so it is hardly surprising that the Latvian musician born in 1988 has devoted herself especially to the composition of vocal music. Her sacred choral work Libera me, Domine for mixed a cappella choir (SSAATTBB) won the special prize for the 'best composition for 4-6 voices' at the International Composition Competition 'Musica Sacra Nova' 2016. This church music gem, in which the eponymous Gregorian chorale is intonated by one of the (two) bass baritone sections at the beginning - over a musical tapestry woven by the remaining voices - and taken up again by all tenors at the end, is ideal for ambitious amateur choirs. The idea behind this work, says the composer, is 'the human reflection on the uncertain - on death, on Judgment Day or on what is inexplicable to us. Such as humility, excitement, fear,and atonement. The chant ends without ending, there is no solution. Life goes on because we ask the following question again and again: What will happen next?'.

Charm me Asleep is a gentle, lilting piece with a beautiful melody and homophonic texture. This is one of a pair of works, along with Slow, Slow, Fresh Fount, written by Watkins for the Cardiff Polyphonic Choir on the occasion of its 50th anniversary; performed together or separately, they are excellent additions to the repertoire.

Agnus Dei in a somewhat dark setting with a solo soprano hovering above. The composition by the young Polish composer is particularly suitable for chamber choir concerts, requires full command of the voice, and takes the audience far away from this world.

The mass was composed to be easy to rehearse and accessible music for church services. A notable feature of this mass is the complete absence of accidentals, making it a white key mass. The range for the singers sits very comfortable for the singers with the soprano part not going above f(two-line F). The voice leading is pleasant and intuitive throughout. So, this mass is ideally suited to four-part church choirs. Latin.
