J.M. Capel's Love Could I Only Tell Thee arranged for TTBB choir by Doris Arnold.

In 1802 Beethoven wrote a cycle of six lieder on the poetry of Christian Gellert. The fourth of these Die Ehre Gottes Aus Der Natur became popular as Choral work in a hymn-like setting arranged for various voicings. The English words were provided by Rev J Troutbeck and their rhythm respects the original German. Creation’s Hymn gained a great following in its time and is still a frequent feature on Choral programs.

James Cartwright Macy (c.1845-1918) was an American songwriter and composer. Born in New York City he spent most of his life living and working in Cleveland. He wrote dozens of popular songs and pieces for the Piano as well as hymns and anthems. He also wrote under several pseudonyms meaning that a large proportion of his work could presently be unattributed to him.Little Tommy Went A-Fishing is possiblyMacy’s best-known work today. It is presented here for TTBB male voice chorus with a Piano reduction provided for rehearsal purposes. A version for SATB choir is available in a separate edition.

Ma collection de laude a ses origines dans le monde de la musique ancienne, est basé dans l'esprit et le sentiment de la non accompagné vocal 'laude' trouvé dans une collection de Cortona 13ème siècle. Les personnes qui ont chanté à l'origine de telles choses - la 'laudesi' - se sont regroupés en confréries, mais ne sont généralement pas associés à une église particulière et cette musique ne faisait pas partie de toute liturgie. La première fois que je laude écrit étaient, comme les originaux du Moyen Age, pour voix non accompagnés - pour la soprano Anna Maria Friman. J'ai ensuite écrit une à deux voix, en ajoutant le ténor John Potter, et d'autres pour trois sopranos, le Trio Mediaeval. Peu à peu, j'ai ajouté plus pour d'autres combinaisons vocales ainsi que certaines avec accompagnement instrumental. Mais je reviens de temps en temps à la plus 'pure' en solo ou en duo lauda. En 2006, j'ai écrit un certain nombre de pièces pour choeur d'hommes estoniens nationale (RAM) principalement grâce à mon amitié et la collaboration avec Kaspars conducteurs ses Putnins qui, ainsi que la conduite de l'Choeur de la Radio lettone, était le directeur de RAM. J'ai écrit deux laude pour eux. Lauda 31 était tout à fait nouveau, tandis que Lauda 32 est une nouvelle version de Lauda 19 'homo Omne'. Tant tirer pleinement parti de la qualité particulière du choeur estonien et Lauda 32 en particulier vise délibérément à avoir le son de chanteurs dans une tradition orthodoxe russe. Quelle que soit l'approche vocale je utiliser pour mettre les textes Lauda, je les traite avec beaucoup de respect par rapport à l'original lauda. Je conformer autant que possible au même nombre de notes à une syllabe qui se trouvent dans les versions médiévales, souvent en suivant les contours mélodiques et parfois citant des phrases individuelles. J'ai encore savourer le défi d'écrire la musique vocale qui est très exposée, et qui conserve quelque chose de l'austérité de l'original. Gavin Bryars (2012) / Choeur D'Hommes

Ocho Kendelikas-Building on the success of his SSA arrangement of this Ladino folk classic it just so happens that J.A. Kawarsky has a TTBB version for male choirs who felt left out of this enjoyable setting. For those who never thought a littlebit of Latin flavor could make it into a Jewish choir piece: check this one out.

Masterful composer David Schwoebel sets the great master J.S. Bach's Jesu Joy Of Man's Desiring to text by master hymnodist Charles Wesley (the traditional text is included as well) transcribed for male chorus and keyboard.

J. Harold Moyer's works for the Kansas Mennonite Men's Chorus are always eagerly anticipated and exciting to hear. Moyer seems to infuse the joy of music into every note and this new anthem is no exception. “Glorious Thingsof Thee Are Spoken” is a well-loved hymn praising the majesty and glory of God which has been triumphantly arranged for male chorus and brass quintet.

In his use of authentic Englsh folksongs Gnostic texts and Vedic hymns one can discern Holst’s search for a compositional Voice beyond the constraints of the European canon in the early 1900’s. In 1916 hepublished Six Choral Folk Songs of which Cornish folk tune I Love My Love is the fifth number.The song is a tale of a girl ‘in Bedlam’ who awaits her love’s return from the sea. It moves into Dorian mode and outagain with a particularly effective sighing motif in the middle section. Gustav Holst has earned a place among the most revered of late 19th and early 20th century composers and is best known for his enduring Orchestral suite ThePlanets.

Franz Schubert(1797-1828) was an Austrian composer working in the early Romantic era. First published in 1823 Die Nacht (D. 983c/Op. 17 No. 4) is scored for an unaccompanied four-part male chorus(TTBB) with words by Friedrich Wilhelm Krummacher. In this lyrical song Schubert cleverly uses the expressive nature of the upper male range to serenade the beauty of the night.
