Creation Is Telling

Harry Causey has done a masterful job of bringing three classic tunes together: The Heavens Are Telling (Haydn) Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee (Beethoven) and the traditional English hymn I Sing the Mighty Powerof God. Along with a rip-roarin' orchestration (available separately) he has truly given us a piece with which to celebrate.

This chorus from The Creation is probably Haydn's most famous choral piece. Now it is available in a splendid edition for treble chorus with keyboard accompaniment!

A great way to introduce the classical style to smaller ensembles! Hal Hopson has married two wonderful melodies to form an original anthem. Borrowing from the chorus of “The Heavens Are Telling” from Haydn'sCreation and the nineteenth-century hymn tune “Sagina ” Hopson has penned a spirited song of praise for the Creator proclaimed by creation itself. Arranged for two-part mixed voices with an accessible keyboardaccompaniment “The Spacious Firmament on High” can be learned with a minimal amount of rehearsal and is the perfect choice for summer vacation or “emergency” Sundays when the choir loft may not be full. Amust for every choral library for times when an anthem of praise and thanksgiving is needed any time of the year.

10 Fugues For String Quartet Vol. 2-The idea for these arrangements came to me whilst listening to the Hagen Quartet's beautiful recording of the fugues that form part of Haydn's 'Sun Quartets' Op. 20. The spirit and influence of J.S. Bach in particular his Well Tempered Clavier Book II courses through these three miraculous Haydn fugues. Like the viol consort the string quartet suits this kind of composition (the fugue) with all four instruments sufficiently similar in character to each other to match the extraordinary unity and economy of the counterpoint. A string quartet playing Bach fugues is a good example of a harmonious relationship between form andcontent: just as there is a unifying principle behind the construction of the four string instruments so there is (usually) a single theme or subject that unifies the construction of a four-part fugue. Thus the form enacts the content telling you something about the text and message within. Apart from Haydn's and a handful of other composers' wondrous creations there's little fugal writing for string quartet at least in comparison with the abundance of other forms. This was another reason to make these arrangements. The quartet offers a melodic independence impossible to achieve on a single instrument. And I believe the technical and interpretative challenges posed by this repertoire – lightness of sound and rhythmic fluidity for example - will be very valuable to quartets seeking the holy grail: a unified sound. Perhaps the simplest and most compelling reason for this work is that I just love this music more than I can say. These dazzling pieces mostly fast bright and in major keys show Bach at his most playful funny and mischievous composing for an instrument rarely associated with these qualities. And so I'm very happy to offer string quartets these little know fugues written by my favourite composer - a violinist and violist himself but above all a master

Teaching his disciples about service and servanthood Christ gently bathed the feet of his followers and bid them to do the same. “A Servant's Song ” from the cantata Colors of Grace moves from the belovedAmerican folk hymn “What Wondrous Love ” into a moving and inspiring retelling of Christ's incredible gesture of love toward the disciples. Beautiful imagery in the text calls all Christians to take the towel andbasin and use them well. Taking up a tattered garment Jesus laid aside His crown. There before His own creation Jesus took a servant's place... What an amazing lesson in grace.
