Acclamatio

Common Worship for the celebration of Holy Communion introduces a Gospel Acclamation to be sung before the reading of the Gospel. In this collection of Acclamations there is a common Alleluia setting (or Praise to YouO Christ from Ash Wednesday to Maundy Thursday) followed by the proper text for singing by the choir.

Wow! This is a must-have anthem for every choral library. Joseph Martin provides two great texts – one for Easter and one for general worship – both of which are brimming with dazzling imagery and unbounded joy. Thelilting dance-like accompaniment moves the piece along so deftly that the song seems to end too soon. “A Resurrection Acclamation” is a thrill for both choir and congregation.

Evocation to a Friend was commissioned for the Choristers of Canterbury Cathedral on behalf of Befrienders International (now Befrienders Worldwide). The text is by David Race and explores themes of friendship and hope. The music grows in intensity over a cyclic harmonic pattern with repeating melodic fragments arranged across the four voices creating a hypnotic effect. After a bleak and reflective interlude in the middle the music unwinds to a peaceful conclusion.The Novello New Choral Series is an inspiring selection of new works from a range of contemporary composers offering pieces for all types of choirs including sacred and secularworks from simple four-part settings to more expansive yet accessible repertoire in an exciting variety of styles.
