This exclusive collection brings together 12 of Nico Muhly?s sacred works for mixed-voice choir. These vivacious fresh and dramatic pieces will make an impact whether in the church or in the concert hall and range from the intimate Lord keep us modest when we claim to the effervescent Bright Star Carol alongside service music such as Muhly?s Third Service. All are accessible to learn and offer choirs a new slant on contemporary choral music at its very best.  'Choral music has always been at the emotional core of my musical output. Even when I?m writing large-scale orchestral works (or indeed chamber music) I alwaysfind myself returning to techniques and textures I?ve greedily stolen from centuries of music from Tye to Howells early and recent. I try to design my own choral music primarily for use in worship where the measure of the success of the piece is if it helps guide the listeners? ears upwards and elsewhere as sacred architecture and the various rituals of the church themselves are meant to do. The specificity of music heard only in certain seasons is for me an important and thrilling element of the choral tradition: a Beethoven Symphony is welcome at any point in the year but an anthem for Candlemas works only then at a certain time of day and on a certain day of the year. With this functional spirit at the heart of the compositional process I hope that the music collected here makes equal sense in a concert setting. These works range from ordinaries of the mass to hymns to motets and represent a decade and a half of output.' - Nico Muhly

Cet opéra de Gilbert and Sullivan est défini dans la tour de Londres, au cours du XVIe siècle, et est la plus sombre et peut-être plus émotionnellement engageant, des opéras Savoy, se terminant avec un personnage principal-Hearted et deux missions très réticentes, plutôt que l'habituel de nombreux mariages. Le livret contient humour considérable, y compris beaucoup de calembour-laden fractionné, mais la satire de marque de commerce de Gilbert et de complications de l'intrigue envers sont remplacées par les nouvel ISBNdued en comparaison avec les autres opéras de G and S. / Chant/Vocal/Choeur

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.
