On the one hand, more and more choirs are lacking in male voices, yet at the same time, more and more female choirs are looking for high-quality literature beyond folksong arrangements. Bärenreiter is responding to these general trends with the publication of arrangements for three-part female choir (SMA) of well-known, frequently-performed works. The first editions to be published are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s “Coronation Mass” K. 317 (BA 5691), a much-performed work within the standard repertoire and the “Missa brevis in D major” K. 194 (BA 5690-90), a charming alternative for use in church services. With great skill and sensitivity to the music, Heribert Breuer has carefully retained the substance of the original works, at the same time giving them a completely new sound quality. - Arrangements for female choir (SMA) based on the Urtext of the “New Mozart Edition” - Idiomatic piano reductions The arranger Heribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie, and has made a name for himself with his numerous arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.

CHANGING VOICES is an exciting collection of songs specifically arranged for changing or ‘cambiata’ male voices. These arrangements are intended to be sung by boys aged approximately 11 years and upwards; precisely the time when many boys give up singing as their changing voices cease to fit comfortably within traditional vocal ranges. Progressive in difficulty and ranging from classic sea shanties to contemporary pop hits the pieces in this collection provide a dynamic and eclectic selection of music for boys’ choral groups of all abilities. As well as the printed score this book is supported bySoundWise: eBook: a digital edition of your music to read on any device. Audio: full demonstration recordings of each piece plus accompaniment-only solo-only and rehearsal backing tracks.

Frederick Viner's Herz an Herz for Piano Solo. Herz an Herz as the title implies (heart to heart) is a love duet. Two distinct voices characterised through their respective male and female vocal registers negotiate a warm heartfelt melody through a loosely strophic form. Initially the voices sing in turn each section - or verse ? led predominantly by one. Each time their lines entwine virtuosic flourishes ascend the keyboard interrupting to render them silent again. It is only after one particularly tumultuous episode that the true duet appears: Out of the murky resonances of the lowest ?A? emerges thethrobbing chords and impassioned vocal lines from Wagner?s famous duet  O sink hernieder Nacht der Liebefrom the second act of Tristan und Isolde. The ?singers? now reconciled come together for one final verse before a fleeting memory of the beginning gently ushers in the end of the piece. Herz an Herz was awarded 1st prize in William Howard's Love Song Composing Competition and was premiered on 26th April 2017 at Hoxton Hall London by William Howard. Duration: 5 minutes
