Novello New Choral Series-A Gaelic Blessing is a simple and catchy piece by Craig McLeish. This piece will be particularly useful for school junior and community choirs and a tuneful introduction to singing simple contrapuntal lines.The second soprano part repeats the tune at bar 33 and should dominate here; the first sopranos and altos should support appropriately. Ease and beauty of tone should be of paramount importance throughout.An inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers the Novello New Choral Series offers pieces for all types of choirs including sacred and secular works from simple four-part settings to moreexpansive yet accessible repertoire in an exciting variety of styles.Craig McLeish began his musical life as a chorister at St Paul’s Cathedral under Barry Rose. He began composing at the age of ten and his preces and responses for four trebles are still in the repertoire. After a degree at York University he returned to London to study at the Guildhall and sang again at St Paul’s as a tenor. At the time he also arranged and copied music for West End shows such as Les Miserables and Miss Saigon and played bass guitar for various groups. This led to a spell in the cult pop band ‘Fat & Frantic’ who shaved the top 100 twice with the whimsical anthem Last night my wife hoovered my head. He also worked as musical assistant for David Heneker (Half a Sixpence) and David Fanshawe (African Sanctus).In 1992 Craig became director of the Methodist Association of Youth Clubs Orchestra and Singers performing concerts throughout the UK and becoming involved in a number of recordings and BBC broadcasts. During this time he arranged more than 250 orchestral scores ranging from Queen to Calamity Jane Stravinsky and Stevie Wonder. Alongside this he began arranging and writing songs for children’s collections (Big Blue Planet Love Shone Down) and producing recordings and string arrangements for various artists (Sheila Walsh

This loving and dreamlike work now available in multiple voicings including SA TB & SAB captures the undulating rhythm of a mother rocking her child to sleep. The text is a classic by Rudyard Kipling: ?Oh! Hush thee my baby the night is behind us and black are the waters that sparkled so green. The moon o'er the combers looks downward to find us at rest in the hollows that rustle between.? Magical! New voicings adapted by Emily Crocker.

No. 2 from The Same Flame-Commissioned by the Somerset England based charity Churchill Music! The Same Flame was inspired by Pierre de Coubertin?s ideals of Olympism which gave rise to the modern Olympic and Paralympic values: Respect Excellence Friendship Courage Equality Determination and Inspiration. These seven values are celebrated in five movements so four of them had to double up ? Friendship with Equality and Courage with Determination. Each movement is scored for slightly different choral forces so the work is varied. Also individual movements may suit different choirs giving the opportunity for individual performance or collaboration between choirs. All fivemovements of The Same Flame are published as individual octavos. A complete vocal score is available on request from the publishers.A slower and more poignant movement Respectfully Yours takes the form of a letter from those who have long been disenfranchised and excluded ? they could be one of a number of groups! ? and who though now welcomed into the fold cannot take acceptance for granted. The memory of rejection is raw and recent. With polite reserve underwritten by passion they respectfully reaffirm their claim to be ?of the same flame?.

SSA [TB ad lib.] and String Quartet [Double Bass ad lib.]-Missa Popularis for Choir [SSA (TB ad lib.)] (Lat.) and String Quartet (Double Bass ad lib.)As the name suggests the Missa Popularis has its musical roots in folk music.This becomes clear in the very first bars of the Kyrie where the Violin plays a melody in the style of a Swedish folk tune above a Bass Ostinato. The musical charm of the Mass derives from the combination of Choir [SSA(TB)] and String Quartet.The choral parts enable performances by female choir or mixed choir. In the latter case the String Quartet is reinforced by a Double Bass.The version for Female Choir was premièred in Poznan on 25 April 2015 with Alicja Szeluga conducting the Skowroniki Girls Choir. Full score (BA7420) set of parts (BA7420-22) and vocal score (BA7420-90) available for sale

A new Christmas carol composed by Oscar-winning composer Rachel Portman with text by children's author Michael Morpurgo We Were There is arranged for SSA Chorus and Piano. The work was commissioned by Liverpool Philharmonic for their 175th anniversary and first performed by the Liverpool Philharmonic Youth on the 18th of December 2014. Portman's work gained a rapturous reception with critics and audiences praising its pretty melodies and the text by the master of fiction Michael Morpurgo. This Christmas carol makes a fantastically fresh antidote to the tired old favourites and it will definitelybe a hit with audiences who will love the new sound and the divine melodies. It'll certainly be a hit at any Christmas concert. In the September 2015 issue of Organists' Review David Lindley wrote that We Were There 'would make an agreeable piece for a school carol service and should be well within the abilities of a reasonably competent group.' An equally good review from the September 2015 issue of Sunday by Sunday from the Royal School of Church Music states that 'choirs will enjoy this attractive and effective piece.'
