Geistliches Repertoire. Par . With his Hebrew Choral Songbook, Ohad Stolarz presents a new collection of classics of the musical repertoire in Hebrew, arranged by him for mixed choir a cappella. Many of these pieces are published in Germany for the first time; almost all of them are first published as choral arrangements. The first volume contains ten sacred and paraliturgical songs that may be sung at various occasions. Among these are the feast of Passover, the “Ten Days of Repentance” in the month of Tishré and the Sabbath. The second volume contains ten secular songs that have become widely known in Israel during the 20th century. These songs are part of Israel’s cultural history and belong to its core repertoire. All Hebrew lyrics appear in transliteration underneath the music, translations in German and English and comprehensive annotation texts are located in the appendix. This choral songbook therefore allows all interculturally interested choirs to take first steps into the world of Jewish and more generally Hebrew choral music. / Date parution : 2022-07-30/ Recueil / Choeur Mixte

Swedish/English-'My music is my own and I have never tried to be original. That has always been my motto and I have only tried to use music to express all the feelings which life has to offer. This has led people to describe my music as ?so sad that it sounds like birds who have lost their wings? but also as ?the happiest classical music that we have ever heard?. My compositions are almost all sacred. They express not only my own faith but also my appreciation and respect for the timeless texts that have been used for centuries and centuries.' - Mårten JanssonMårten Jansson (b. 1965) elected member of the Föreningen svenska tonsättare (the Societyof Swedish Composers) graduated from the Royal College of Music Stockholm (KHM) with an MFA degree in Music Education Dalcroze Eurhythmics and Voice.

This title is taken from the compilation French Songs And Choruses For Mixed-Voice Choir (NOV165198)Calme Des Nuits is taken from Ravel's work 2 Choruses Op. 68. In the oeuvre of Camille Saint-Saëns who is known primarily for his Carnival of the animals there are two choral pieces op. 68 composed at the end of 1882 which exhibit genuinely exceptional quality. Presumably having written them himself Saint-Saëns devoted considerable time and attention to these two texts Calme des nuits (Calm of the night) and Les fleurs et les arbres (The flowers and the trees). Both pieces display a depth of expression of akind that he is frequently denied as possessing to the present day. In Calme des nuits the calm of the night is impressively captured in music and contrasted with the garish and the raucous. Numerous long note durations and the almost exclusive adherence to the piano sphere captivate both the performers and their audience alike until the piece fades away into virtual nothingness.

This outstanding volume presents the finest of Bruckner's small-scale sacred choral works with instrumental accompaniment. All can be performed with Organ (or Piano) alone but are greatly enhanced by the use of Trombones and strings as specified. As with most of his works Bruckner revisited almost all of these motets and made revisions. The final versions for each have been chosen. This set provides the perfect opportunity for choirs to explore the work of this great composer offering challenge and reward in equal measure.

Where Charity and Love Are God Is There-A sacred sanctuary of sound describes this choral experience. The gentle crush of clustered harmonies creates a shimmering ambience that embraces the listener with divine beauty. A sparse but effective piano part rings with purity leading the piece forward with an almost fragile web of sound. A timely admonition for all believers!

The men and women are divided into two choirs; the men represent the old tenor telling the story and the women represent an angelic chorus singing the antiphon ?In Paradisium? from the Requiem Mass.

This anthem was commissioned in 2012 by Simon Winters to celebrate 25 years of the chamber choir Felicitas. Thinking about the unaccompanied vocal texture brought Will Todd back to his 1995 setting of the words of The Venerable Bede Christus Est Stella which in turn made him think of the beautiful words of Vidi Speciosam. The setting seeks to convey the ecstatic nature of the text set almost exclusively in a homophonic style.The harmonies are rich and opulent like the text which derives from the Song of Songs and describes the appearance of ???my fair one??? with vivid and beautiful romantic imagery and perfumed language. A striking addition to the choral repertoire Vidi speciosam is both a joy to sing and a delight for the listener.

In 1732 Giovanni Battista Pergolesi composed a setting of the Vespers in honor of St. Emidius Naples’s patron saint and protector against earthquakes. All that has survived are the introit Domine ad adjuvandum and three psalm settings: Dixit Dominus Laudate and Confitebor.Malcolm Bruno’s reconstruction consists of Pergolesi’s Hymnus Magnificat several short instrumental interpolations and the contrafactum of a secular cantata for the Salve Regina thereby presenting a full cross-section of Pergolesi’s artistic evolution. The reconstructed Vespers ranges from the early Confitebor with its allusions to Vivaldi to the late Salve Regina with its reminiscences of thefamous Stabat Mater; from contrapuntal choral writing to operatic arias; and from the magnificently scored Dixit to the almost intimate Laudate.The present edition follows the original sources as closely as possible and contains an appendix with detailed notes on performance practice.Performance material available for hireEffective reconstruction of a full-length workCross-section of Pergolesi’s sacred musicClear and easy-to-play piano reduction
