Largely based on the A. C. Swinburne poem “Music: An Ode,” this piece celebrates the gift and meaning of music in our lives. Set in a flowing 6/8 for SATB with piano, the choral parts are easy but the piano part, although lovely and quite essential, is far from that.

Invictus: A Passion addresses one of the world’s most powerful stories through the lens of the modern world. The texts, written or inspired by women, describe not only human suffering and persecution but also the human capacity for love and humility in the face of tyranny. Composer Howard Goodall is uniquely suited to bring these texts to life with music of emotional clarity and sweeping force. This excerpt is scored for SATB (divisi) choir and piano. A text by Æmelia Lanyer (née Bassano) (“Why should unlawful actions use the Light?”) is set as a homophonic chorale with a supportive accompaniment. Duration 3:32.

Set for SATB voices, a soprano or tenor soloist, and piano, Goodall’s original text is a promise of constancy from one person to another. Through many kinds of situations and circumstances it is assured that “We’ll walk together stride by stride.” The choral parts are homophonic and approachable, the piano part a bit challenging (there is one section which is essentially a beautiful piano solo with the chorus accompanying on a neutral syllable). An uplifting piece suitable for school, community, or professional choruses.

Written for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir. Level 2 .

Anna Laura Page brings us this flowing setting of a traditional English tune. Delicate in its simplicity, the lush scoring gives a very satisfying feeling to the piece. A worthy choice for the early intermediate ensemble looking to stretch their musicality this holiday season.

SKU: BP.HB668

Arranged for 3 to 5 octave handbell choir and optional 3 octaves of handchimes. Level 2-. This quiet, reflective arrangement by Patricia Hurlbutt is ideal for any calm, meditative moment in worship. A simple delicate opening underscored with haunting chords gives way to a verse with the melody on bass chimes overtopped with delicate treble bell chords. An unexpected key change adds intensity and a sense of urgency before returning to the opening key and fading prayerfully away.

Midwinter Song is a Christmas carol that calls us to love, faith, and hope. With a beautiful and supportive piano accompaniment and accessible vocal lines, this work will appeal to a wide variety of levels. Susan Labarr's Midwinter Song is a new work for Advent or Christmas. Labarr opens the piece with a gentle piano solo that perfectly captures the mystery of the poetry—the words seem to travel out of a time in the deep past and give homage to the neglected art of both rhythm and rhyme. In particular, the description of the world gathering in amber halls in the first verse wonderfully conjures images of medieval casltes or mead halls lit only with firelight and candles, full with the sound of carols.

With his arrangement of Drei Könige, originally composed for voices, Robert van Beringen makes a welcome contribution to the christmas repertoire for bands. In this work by the German composer Peter Cornelius (1824 - 1874) the mediaeval choral Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern comes to the fore as a counter melody.

Robert van Beringen zorgt met deze bewerking van het oorspronkelijk voor vocale bezetting geschreven Drei Könige voor een welkome aanvulling van het kerstrepertoire voor blaasorkest. In dit werk van de Duitse componist PeterCornelius (1824-1874) komt het middeleeuwse koraal Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern als tegenmelodie duidelijk naar voren.

Dieses von Robert van Beringen meisterhaft bearbeitete Werk, das ursprünglich für Singstimme geschrieben wurde, ist eine willkommene Ergänzung des Weihnachtsrepertoires eines jeden Blasorchesters. In der vom deutschen Komponisten Peter Cornelius (1924-1874) stammenden Fassung tritt der mittelalterliche Choral Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern als kontrastierende Melodie deutlich in den Vordergrund.

Cette oeuvre, écrite par le compositeur allemand Peter Cornelius (1824-1874) et arrangée par Robert van Beringen, est un enrichissement de chaque concert de Noel. Le choral Wie schön leuchtet der Morgenstern sert de mélodie contrastante et est particulièrement mise en évidence dans cette composition.

Tochter Zion, also known as See the Conquering Hero Comes, is the most famous chorus from the oratorio Judas Maccabaeus (1746) by the composer George Frideric Handel (1685-1759). The heroic epic based on the Biblical story about commander-in-chief Judas Maccabaeus, was used by Handel to celebrate the English victory over the rebellious Scottish. The first performance of this patriotic work - written in the pleasing, rich baroque style that Handel’s music is known for - was conducted by himself; the success was huge. The chorus See the Conquering Hero Comes was added later, in 1748, drawn from another oratorio (Joshua).

Tochter Zion, ook bekend als See the Conquering Hero Comes, is het beroemdste koor uit het oratorium Judas Maccabaeus (1746) van de componist Georg Friedrich Händel (1685-1759). Het op het Bijbelse verhaal overlegeraanvoerder Judas de Maccabeeër gebaseerde heldenepos werd door Händel gebruikt om de overwinning van de Engelsen op de in opstand gekomen Schotten te vieren. De première van dit patriottische werk - geschreven in de aangename,rijke barokstijl waar Händels muziek om bekendstaat - werd door hemzelf gedirigeerd, het succes was enorm. In 1748 is het koor See the Conquering Hero Comes toegevoegd, dat afkomstig was uit een ander oratorium (Josua).

Tochter Zion, auch als See the Conquering Hero Comes bekannt, ist der berühmteste Choral aus dem Oratorium Judas Maccabaeus von Georg Friedrich Händel. Dieses Werk - das im gefälligen, üppig barocken Stil, der für Händels Musik typisch ist, geschrieben wurde - arrangierte der zeitgenössische niederländische Komponist Jan de Haan für Blechbläserquartett und Orgel.

Tochter Zion ( Toi la gloire) est le plus célèbre chœur de l’oratorio Judas Macchabée de Georg Friedrich Haendel (1685-1759). La création de cette œuvre patriotique a eu lieu sous la direction du compositeur. Écrite dans le style baroque, elle déploie toute la richesse et la subtilité de la musique d’Haendel. Judas Macchabée est couronné de succès.

Roland Kernen hat in seiner Bearbeitung des bekannten und beliebten Adventsliedes die vier Liedverse mit verschiedenen Verzierungen ausgeschmückt und um ein Vorspiel, ein Nachspiel und mehrere Zwischenspiele ergänzt. Dabei blieb der für das 17. Jahrhundert typische Rhythmuswechsel erhalten. So entstand eine abwechslungsreiche Komposition als Künderin der Frohen Botschaft.

Es kommt ein Schiff, geladen est un célèbre choral allemand du temps de l’Avent, dans lequel la Nativité s’exprime par la métaphore du bateau portant la cargaison divine jusque sur la terre où il jette l’ancre. Daté du début du XVe siècle, ce choral a la particularité d’être la fois en ternaire et en binaire. Utilisant différentes ornementations, Roland Kernen a réalisé un arrangement de quatre des six strophes du cantique, auxquelles ont été ajoutés un prélude, un postlude et des interludes. La pièce constitue ainsi une composition variée qui installe un climat de mystère étonnant avant de fêter la naissance de Jésus Noël.
