Inspired by the memoir 'The Story of the Trapp Family Singers' by Maria von Trapp Rodgers and Hammerstein's The Sound Of Music first opened its doors on Broadway in 1959 and was turned into a popular film in 1965. The musical tells the story of Maria who is studying to become a nun at Nonnberg Abbey in Salzburg yet is struggling to fit in there due to her youthful enthusiasm energetic nature and lack of discipline. Believing that she might be happier in the outside world the Mother Abbess sends her to thevilla of a widowed naval officer to be governess to his seven children. After bringing love and music into the lives of the family Maria marries the officer and together with the children they flee the Nazi regime that has taken over their homeland. One of the musical's most cherished numbers So Long Farewell is the song the von Trapp children sing to bid their guests good night at the party at their villa. It is also sung as a reprise by the family at the Salzburg concert. To the Nazis present they are simply bringing the night's performance to an end but the external audience is aware that they are in fact also saying goodybe to their beloved Austria as they secretly plot their escape over the border to Switzerland.

Particularly useful for Mother's Day, Father's Day, or any family emphasis/multi-generational services throughout the year, this new jewel from Tina English really shines. Its message of unity and Christian love will resonate with choir and congregation alike. / Choeur (SATB)

Bob Chilcott's We Are for SATB. We are is a dynamic and vibrant setting of 'The human family' a powerful poem by American poet Maya Angelou. The poet's message that 'we are more alike than we are unalike' is carried through the piece by a compelling rhythmic figure and the a cappella textures and interplay between voices creates an infectious energy. The rich texture of the double choir scoring allows the two groups of singers to work together to create the sense of unity and common purpose the poem speaks to. We are was commissioned by The King's Singers for their 50th anniversary celebrations and features ontheir album 'GOLD' (Signum SIGCD500). The piece was originally presented with the first choir scoring as AATBarBarB but has since been rescored for SATTBB with the option for the second choir to be SA or SATB remaining unchanged.
