English Sacred Music

Publication of the complete English sacred music of George Jeffreys (c.1610–1685) opens a window on the achievement of one of the few pre-Commonwealth composers wholeheartedly committed to the contemporary Italianate stile nuovo. Besides a quantity of sacred works in Latin, there are 26 surviving English anthems and devotional pieces, plus three settings from the Communion Service, an impressive output for someone employed for most of his life primarily as a steward to the Hatton family. Though only one of his works was published in his lifetime, Jeffreys’s compositions are preserved in several autograph manuscripts that are the basis of this edition. / Historique / Stainer And Bell

Par BLEZZARD JUDITH. Judith Blezzard This book looks at English church music from a new standpoint. It examines the relationship between English church music and the various types of other music that have influenced its development, revealing a vigorous tradition of interplay with extraneous musical material that is seldom apparent from the ways in which music is presented for church use. The borrowing of music from churches outside England is explored, and a large section is devoted to the often surprisingly ingenious ways in which secular music has, since the beginnings of the English church, been appropriated as music for worship - often with controversial results. From madrigal tomusic-hall, from plainsong to popular styles: these and many other kinds of music have lent both styles and material to sacred music with English texts. By examining these musical transformations, this book demonstrates that English church music is far from being an exclusively insular and retrospective repertory, as is often presumed to be the case. Although the book, with its use of musical examples, is designed primarily for the general musical reader - both amateur and professional, its broadly historical approach will appeal to those interested in English cultural heritage, the church, and its worship.

Par TALLIS THOMAS. Au XVIe siècle fut une période de bouleversements religieux en Angleterre. De la réforme protestante de Henry VIII par le biais ardent mais éphémère catholique renouveau du Queen Mary au retour de l'anglicanisme à l'époque élisabéthaine, il aurait fallu une diplomatie avisée pour un catholique romain comme Thomas Tallis, simplement rester en vie. En fait, il est devenu le compositeur le plus respecté de sa génération et est maintenant reconnu comme l'un des plus grands compositeurs du pays. 2005 est le cinq centième anniversaire de la naissance des Thomas Tallis et son génie est célébrée dans cette collection d'anglais-texted musique sacrée, sélectionnés et édité par Jeremy se fournir une source inestimable d'Introïts et les hymnes pour les chorales.

Kenneth Leighton?s sacred and liturgical music is widely known and performed regularly across the UK. The British composer did much to keep alive and transform the Victorian tradition of English choral music purge its piety and drag it into the (late) twentieth century.Missa Brevis which is Latin for 'short Mass' usually refers to a mass composition that is short because part of the text of the Mass ordinary that is usually set to music in a full mass is left out or because its execution time is relatively short. Along with Bernstein Britten and Kodály Leighton was one of the composers still writing in this genre in the 20thcentury.Missa Brevis was written for the choir of Liverpool Cathedral and was published in 1968. It has become one of the most popular choral settings of the communion service by a contemporary composer and is regularly heard at cathedrals and churches throughout Britain and America. In this Novello edition the short Mass is arranged for SATB Voices with Piano accompaniment which is for rehearsal purposes only.

Par SAINT-SAENS CAMILLE. Psalm 137 'Super flumina Babylonis' also known as 'By the rivers of Babylon' was an inspiration for many composers including Camille Saint-Saëns. He repeatedly occupied himself with his psalm motet for solo soprano, mixed choir, saxophone quartet, string orchestra and organ, originally composed in 1854. Two of the four versions – the first version in Latin and a much later version in English for alto solo, SATB choir and piano – are now available for the first time in Urtext performing editions taking a meticulous account of all the sources. Saint-Saëns lived up to his reputation as an innovative composer by exploring the use of the saxophone family in sacred music just a few years after the invention of these instruments. The successful combination of voice and saxophone creates a special sound experience. / Date parution : 2023-07-31/ Répertoire / Soprano, SATB et Ensemble

The most famous American Christmas carol family is undisputably the Burt family. The carols of Bates and Alfred Burt and the Christmas carol cards they sent are now part of our hymnody and folklore. Abbie Burt Betinis is the greatgranddaughter of Bates and grand niece of Alfred and is continuing the tradition with freshness and craftsmanship. A noted and often commissioned composer in her own right she brings skill and talent to this unique genre in away no one else could. The verse and chorus form reminds us of an English carol but the text taken most often from other Burt family members are very American. Enjoy this energetic carol with sacred text by John Harris Burt.
