Dale Warland Choral Series-Commissioned to honor a marriage celebration this text by the early 20th-century poet Amy Lowell speaks to love and commitment. But the title is enigmatic (no sprigs of resemary are mentioned in the poem itself) until onediscovers that in addition to its well-known properties as a plant and herb Rosemary is a traditional symbol of remembrance and constancy; so the author made a knowing and perfect choice for the title.?In settingthis text the composer creates a harmonic richness which would complement and reflect the ?soft richness? of Lowell's words of recalling and caring.

Par MACMILLAN JAMES. A setting of passages from the Book of Revelation, with particular reference to the angels who appear with seven trumpet blasts, heralding a series of apocalyptic scenes. Commissioned by Jeffrey Skidmore, director of Ex Cathedra, and first performed by them at Birmingham Town Hall in 2015. The composer states, ?There is a vividness and strangeness in these dramatic texts, which are endlessly fascinating and disturbing. The instruments used here are based on the various instrumental types mentioned throughout scripture ? trumpets, harp, bells, cymbals, tabor, rebec.? These are scored for mostly in their modern forms, but shofars (Jewish ritual temple trumpets) and early trumpets are also used. The choral writing shows a similar contrast between traditional and contemporary scoring, with polyphony and homophony alongside extended vocal techniques, including Sprechstimme. Leading choral director Paul Spicer comments, ?This is an extremely dramatic work which draws the listener into the apocalyptic story line ? The ending is cataclysmic.? / Niveau : Difficile / Date parution : 2022-11-08/ Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Piano

Probably composed in 1690 the Messe de Minu t pour Noël H 9 is perhaps Marc-Antoine Charpentier’s best-known composition after the Te Deum H 146. The special appeal of this 'Mass for the Midnight Service on Christmas Eve' lies in its use of no fewer than ten traditional French carols while impressively revealing Charpentier's mastery of the concertante style.The eight solo vocalists (SSAATTBB) can easily be taken from the chorus. They are divided into three groups one group of two sopranos and two groups each comprising alto tenor and bass which interact with the chorus and instruments. This new edition represents the currentstate of scholarship and offers a completely revised Urtext of Charpentier’s masterpiece.Urtext based on the latest scholarly researchStraightforward and easy-to-play keyboard reductionDuration: approx. 25 minutes

Roland C30 Digital Harpsichord including stool. Experience the elegance of baroque music.While producing authentically exquisite centuries-old harpsichord sounds and drawing inspiration from 21st century ingenuity the Roland Classic Series C30 Digital Harpsichord uses digital technology to enhance playability and expressiveness. Whether you are a virtuoso or a novice the C30 makes it possible for you to spend as much quality time as you want with the harpsichord. Taking up little space the styling of the C30 is modelled on the virginals. With an authentic wooden cabinet and a high-quality mahogany finish the traditional and simple styling will beright at home in a classic or modern interior. The period styling is enhanced by stained glass on the stand and the decorative panel on the keyboard lid. The C30 can easily switch between the built-in French and Flemish types of harpsichord. Both of these have four dispositions— 8’ I (back eight) 8’ II (front eight) 4’ (upper octave) and lute (buff mute) — and each disposition has its own dedicated selection button. You can play with a single disposition or layer more than one. The C30 also has an excellent fortepiano sound and has two admirable sampled organ options - 8' flute (ideal for solo accompaniment) and 8'+4' Principal which is ideal for use with a choir. The digital C30 doesn’t need tuning and you can simply switch the pitch from a=440 to baroque (415 Hz) and French baroque (392 Hz). If for ensemble playing you need to match the C30 to other instruments fine pitch adjustments can be made. You can easily take the C30 with you to group rehearsals and live performances. Even if the temperature and humidity vary you can be sure that the pitch will remain accurate. Time-consuming maintenance is a thing of the past. Now you can just turn on and play. As well as equal temperament you can select Werckmeister Kirnberger Vallotti and Meantone tuning
