Schumann's song cycle 'Frauenliebe und Leben?, on poems by Adelbert von Chamisso, deals with the trauma of a woman who loses the man who was her first love and the guiding light of her life. Schumann himself completed what is perhaps his most unified song cycle in blissful anticipation of his union with Clara Wieck.This new edition presents the work on the basis of the first print, using Schumann's autograph for purposes of consultation. The alternative readings in the autograph vocal part also give singers valuable tips for a nuanced delivery of the words.- Original edition for medium voice- Comprehensive bilingual foreword (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Ger)- The song texts are printed separately and include English translations taken from Richard Stokes' publication 'The Book of Lieder?ContentsI.

Edward Bairstow 's anthem Lord, Thou Hast Been Our Refuge re-engraved for SATB Choir and Organ. This piece incorporates text from Psalms 90, 102 and 144. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Orgue

For mixed SATB chorus unaccompanied. Includes a Piano part on the score for rehearsal purposes only.'My God why hast thou forsaken me?' was originally written in the summer of 2006 on a course run by the National Youth Orchestra of Great Britain. It was first performed by the choir of Eton College directed by Ralph Allwood. This motet intends to capture the anguish of Jesus’ final moments on the cross. The opening bars attempt to convey the horrific pain sorrow and tragedy that these words and the climactic moment of Christ's crucifixion mean to Christians worldwide. It is also a human sentiment echoed every day by the needy regardless of their religious views. Thepiece ends with a repetition of the opening phrase followed by a blossoming 'Amen'. This expressive conclusion hints at a glimmer of hope although the final chord is left unresolved; resolution though suggested is not obtained.
