Music for the perfect wedding day... religious service civil ceremony & reception-Whether it be a traditional white wedding in church or a contemporary civil ceremony in non-religious surroundings everyone wants their wedding day to be perfect. The pieces in the Confetti and Cake volume will help wedding couples and choirs alike choose the most appropriate and effective music for any occasion.There is music that caters for all tastes and abilities offering plenty of balance and variety. Pieces range from very simple to the somewhat more complex. Standard sacred repertoire (Bach Gounod Mozart Walford Davies etc.) is followed by some contemporary church anthems one (by Will Todd) written specially for this book; favourites such as theperennial Flower Duet appear alongside other enticing non-religious music; finally we have some secular romantic love songs (Jerome Kern Swingle numbers and even some G&S!) which cannot fail to capture the mood of the day. Sing these either at the ceremony itself or perhaps later at the reception.There are notes at the end of the book which provide very brief background information: eg texts (with translation where appropriate) dates and approximate timings so the ceremony can be planned meticulously.Whatever the circumstances and size of your choir there will be a something within this volume that will suit you. But more than that the versatility of the Concerts for Choirs series is such that it can be used as an invaluable resource for choral material whatever your requirements.

South Korea and the United States have a beautiful relationship and share many values one of which is undeniably our love of great choral music. The tenderness and passion emerge effortlessly through the symbolic statements in this touching composition. The TTBB voicing was selected for the Randy Stenson Male Chorus Series whereas the SATB voicing was simply too great to pass up. Excellent for College Choirs medium to difficult.

Edward Elgar's They Are At Rest for unaccompanied SATB choir.Described by Elgar as an elegy for unaccompanied chorus this mournful reverent setting was composed for a service commemorating Queen Victoria on the anniversary of her death. The text is by Cardinal John Henry Newman whose poem The Dream of Gerontius was set by Elgar in one of his most enduringly popular works.

Paperback-For SATB unaccompanied.This attractive carol has a tuneful melody with a slight modal feel. Opening with melody alone sung solo or in unison the carol builds up harmonically moving from octave thirds to the rich occasionally chromatic harmonies of the central section. A lovely addition to any choir's Christmas repertory.

Four poems sharing a common motif of 'Night' provide the texts for my choral cycle Nocturnes, the American Choral Directors Association's commissioned work for its 2005 national convention. For Rilke's atmospheric ?Sa nuit d'ete,? several melodic themes are supported by dense, colorful harmonies in both the choral and piano parts, leading to a climactic section where all are combined and stated simultaneously. Neruda's ?Soneto de la Noche,? from his Cien Sonetos de Amor, speaks of an eternal love that transcends death while reaffirming life. My a cappella setting of this gorgeous poem is predominantly quiet, serene and folk-like, utilizing direct harmonies accompanying long, lyrical vocal lines. Agee's wondrous ?Sure on this Shining Night? is set much like a song from the American musical theater, a genre for which I have held a life-long esteem. Rilke's poignant ?Voici le soir? recalls the opening bell sounds and jazz-tinged chords of the first movement and serves as an epilogue, quietly concluding this cycle of night songs as darkness descends.
