A Hymn To The Virginfor unaccompanied chorus is one of Benjamin Britten's earliest works. It is in fact one of the earliest surviving pieces of church music written by the composer. The piece was first performed at a concert given by the Lowestoft Musical Society in St. John's Church on January 5 1931. The anonymous text was taken out of the Oxford Book of English Verse. This piece is written for unaccompanied SATB.

Published with its original text and in English this Icelandic hymn sets three verses in honour of the Virgin Mary attributed to Jon Arason Iceland's last Catholic bishop. Each verse consists of a solo soprano melody rhythmically free and beautiful in its simplicity and a warmer choral refrain. Suitable for concert and church use.

3 Chorale Fantasias, Chorale Variation, 6 Hymn Settings. Par PRAETORIUS MICHAEL. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) a seulement atteint l'âge de 50 ans, mais a laissé une remarquable richesse des compositions et des traités. D'un point de vue musicologique, il prend une fonction centrale comme médiateur entre la tradition allemande bien établie de la musique d'église protestante et le nouveau monodique, style concertante de composition italienne au début du XVIIe siècle. Après sa formation musicale apparemment self-instructed, il a conclu son premier emploi comme organiste à St. Mary à Francfort/Oder en 1587 et plus tard à la Cour de l'évêque amoureux de la musique de prince Henry Jules de Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel. Après la mort de ce dernier suivi instables et énergie-sapement ans. Musique d'orgue des Praetorius couvre exclusivement cantus firmus : trois fantaisies choral qui fascinent par leur variété de style, une paire de variations avec une technique de figuration riche et les modalités de leur composition novatrice hymn six. Vis-à-vis du style, son oeuvre est enracinée dans le traditionnel allemand org.../ Répertoire / Orgue

Per Nørgård's Gennem Torne / Through Thorns (2003) Harp Concerto No. 2 - Passage for Harp Solo with Flute Clarinet and String Quartet.Premiered by Tine Rehling (Harp) and the Esbjerg Ensemble conducted by Kaisa Roose at the Concert Hall of the Western Jutland Academy of Music Esbjerg 28th January 2004.Programme Note THROUGH THORNS has a duration of about 20 minutes in one continuous movement thus the subtitle 'passage'. The work is scored for harp solo flute clarinet and string quartet. The title is borrowed from the lines from an old Virgin Mary Hymn: 'Mary wanders throughthorns' a hymn which ends with the following line: 'then roses grew forth amongst the thorns'. I only came across the poem after finishing the composition the 'passage' of which is a journey of sometimes dramatic events concluding with a 'rose-blooming' as does the hymn. For THROUGH THORNS to borrow its title from a Virgin Mary Hymn has to do with the musical material and current of the piece which brings motives from an earlier choral piece of mine FLOS UT ROSA (Latin for 'a flower like a rose') and the rose in question is of course the one which grew forth when the Virgin Mary gave birth to the Infant Jesus in a hitherto unheard-of fashion a NOVA GENITURA (new birth) which is the title of another work of mine that also derives its material from my original 'rose'-melody from 1975. THROUGH THORNS is dedicated to Tine Rehling and together with her I have tried to expand the sonorities of the harp by exploring existing techniques and their more remote regions in order to gain access to new territory and new soundscaoes as realised by the constantly experimentally-minded and virtuoso player. Per Nørgård 2004.
