The Vocal Score for Judith Weir's Truly I Tell You a setting of three different Biblical passages from Psalms and Mark's gospel. This work was first performed by the Choir of Westminster Abbey at theCommonwealth Day Observance on the 9th of March 2015. It is arranged for SSATB Chorus and Organ. Truly I Tell You is a setting of Psalms 8: 4-10 and 34: 1-4 and Mark 10: 15. The thread thatmarries these three texts together is the comparison between man and the name of God the literal exposition of the word of God (working beautifully within the context of such a brilliantly-composed piece of music) and thehopeful entering of God's kingdom in general. In the December 2015 edition of RSCM Church Music Quarterly Magazine the reviewer states that this piece is 'highly recommended' and is a 'useful churchanthem that is not too difficult'. Judith Weir is a British composer whose music often draws influence from her many extra-musical interests such as medieval history and Scottish traditionalmusic. In 2005 Weir received a CBE for her services to music and in 2014 she was appointed the Master of the Queen's Music becoming the first female holder of a post which dates back to 1626.

It is based on the epic poem The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865.

This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood and also includes helpful notes on thebackground to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources.

All of Bach’s six authenticated motets were written between 1723 and 1727 for St Thomas’ Church Leipzig where Bach was appointed as director of music in 1723. During this period Bach composed most of his cantatas and it seems likely that for ordinary Sunday services he used existing motets from the seventeenth century tradition reserving his own motet compositions for special occasions. Four of his six motets were written for the funeral services of prominent members of the St Thomas’ congregation. Jesu Meine Freude (BWV 227) the longest most musically complex and earliest of the six was written in1723 for the funeral of Johanna Maria Käsin the wife of Leipzig’s postmaster. Jesu Meine Freude BWV 227 is a beautifully constructed motet for five-part mixed choir by J.S. Bach. This Urtext edition provides you with a clear and accurate realisation of the composer’s original intentions and includes thoroughly detailed editorial markings and suggestions as edited by Konrad Ameln.

Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new by renowned teacher singer and director Gitika Partington. Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song. What's great about Gitika Partington's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful but shehas learned that there are other ways to communicate music namely through ear training repetition and gesture. Her arrangements five of which appear in this book have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country making singing truly and universally accessible.  Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite Sway (Quien Sera). Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano alto tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun as you are able to listen wherever you are. The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere with limited resources with members who don't necessarily have any musical training. Partington has created a
