Peter Maxwell Davies: Advent Calendar: SATB: Vocal Score

Advent Calendar by the Master of the Queen's Music Peter Maxwell Davies sets the text of the former Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams .  The work for SATB and Organ was commissioned by The Choirbook Trust for inclusion in the Choirbook for the Queen published to celebrate the Diamond Jubilee of Her Majesty the Queen in 2012.

In February 2005 the Music Sales Group presented a concert of music for the Violin at the Wigmore Hall London to launch the Wigmore Hall New Music Fund set up to promote the commissioning and performance of new works for theimportant international recital venue. This title contains works from that performance by fourteen of the very best contemporary composers including Philip Glass Kaija Saariaho and Peter Maxwell Davies as well asworld premieres from Joby Talbot Craig Armstrong John Tavener and Judith Weir. The pieces in this programme have been specially selected for their accessibility making this folio suitable for players of a wide rangeof abilities from elementary level (1st to 3rd position only) to shorter but more challenging adventurous and unusual works. The set as a whole represents the large amount of variety and character alive in today's top-levelcomposition. An excellent repertoire source that is fresh exciting and highly accessible.
