By Heart is an ambitious project that aspires to join in perfect union the liturgical rites of gathering, intercession, and communion with music of the season in such a way that participation in these rites becomes written upon the lips and hearts of those who worship. This recording includes simple, beautiful arrangements of some of the most beloved songs of the principal liturgical seasons. Familiar seasonal tunes like “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” and John Bell’s “Take, O Take Me As I Am” are wedded to contemporary texts, making retention effortless. Alonso and Huck deftly demonstrate how “music and ritual can be so woven together that they become a single reality.” Unique to this project are the bulletin inserts and CD-ROM. The bulletin inserts are a perfect way to enhance the worship experience of your congregation. The full score of this collection offers detailed information about the background of this project and how to use it to its full potential. Contains one each of the following octavos: Come Emmanuel - Come Quickly, Lord - God Shall Gather In - Got Tell It on the Mountain - Child of Mary - Come to Bethlehem Manger - Gather Us in Mercy, Lord - Enfold us in your Mercy - Take, O Take Me As I Am - Halle, Halle, Halle - Hear Us, Savior - Joyous Cup.

Zolt� �¡n Kodály s unaccompanied mixed choruses first appeared in print in 1943 as a collected volume published by the association Magyar Kórus. This collection contained twenty-five works. In 1951, the volume was released again in the author s edition, being expanded with eight new compositions, but without Els áldozás (First Communion). Reprint editions of this collection had been distributed by Editio Musica Budapest until 1972, when a commemorative extended edition of the mixed choruses was issued, edited by Lajos Bárdos. Until now, reprints of this collection with forty-five compositions have been circulated. Péter Erdei carefully compared the printed edition with themanuscripts of the works preserved at the Kodály Archives. As a result of his work, in 2011 we emended a number of misprints, including those that had been inherited since the earliest print. Seventy-five years after the first release, the time has come for Kodály s collected choral works for mixed voices to appear in a completely new, expanded edition. Our collection contains six compositions that were not included in earlier editions: Jövel, Szentlélek eristen (Come, Holy Spirit), Miatyánk (The Lord s Prayer), Miserere, Salló Pista, Semmit ne bánkódjál (Do Not Grieve), ejesztend t köszönt (A Christmas Carol). In addition, two versions - both equally authentic - are published of the work known under the title of Naphimnusz (Canticle of the Sun), due to earlier editions the new release comes with lyrics in Hebrew and English (Adoration), as well as Dénes Szed s Hungarian translation (Napének [Hymn of the Sun]). This is the most complete and most authentic edition of Kodály s mixed choruses to date it is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions, and it contains new easily-legible music scores and an informative epilogue.
