A short piece for small orchestra, written in 1989 when the composer heard of Michael Vyner's death. Premiered in October 1989 at Glyndebourne Sussex, by the London Sinfonietta and conducted by the composer just six days after Vyman's death. Approximately six minutes in duration, it is based on the plainsong 'Cor meum et caro mea exultaverunt in Deum vivum' and is scored for two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani and strings.

Joseph Compello's Great Plains Saga for the beginning string orchestra students depicts wide open spaces, rugged terrain, and covered wagons heading West through the American plains. Students will love playing this contest selection, written in a minor mode. This piece can be learned in as little as 10 weeks, yet showcases the students' abilities and growth.Great Plains Saga is an easy concert piece for a young string ensemble. The music should be performed in a manner which evokes the rustic openness of the American continent at the time when Native American tribes inhabited it. Accordingly, the music is modal and thus provides an ancient character to the melodies. The first theme appearing at m. 9 consists of six notes. It repeats at m. 17 in the cello part with a countermelody in the violins. After a brief transition m. 25, the second section begins with a quiet two-measure phrase that is answered forte by the low strings. This call-and-response episode continues until m. 43 where the transition to the opening theme begins. At m. 49 the director may wish to slow the tempo just a bit to give the music a heavier feel. The coda at m. 57 may be played freely and dramatically.

Predominantly hushed and serene, Plainsongs for Peace and Light proved to be Jonathan Harvey's final work. It sees Harvey reexamining the very fundamentals of his craft, superimposing lines of plainsong, relishing the simple clash of note against note, and creating rich, otherworldly sonorities through an elaborate use of canon. Harvey was a composer who always embraced and sought out the very latest in musical technologies but the simplicity of the a cappella choir became something of a constant to which he returned throughout his life. The piece is for mixed voices of SATB in 16 parts.

Originally published in the Cathedral Series as Glory to God: St. Louis New Plainsong, this Gloria has been revised to include the 2010 Roman Missal translation. The words are set to a tone, making it inherently practical for liturgy: Cantor and/or choir alternate phrases with the assembly, with or without accompaniment. Well suited for Ordinary Time, add the optional SATB harmonies, which can serve as alternate organ harmonizations in absence of choir, to spruce it up for more festive occasions.

Characteristic of Powell??s writing style, Five Organ Preludes on Plainsong Tunes is very musical and expressive throughout. The melodies flow smoothly in and out?? sometimes in a polyphonic texture and sometimes clearly stated with a solo organ stop. The unmeasured notation and beaming of each tune matches the style of the original chants. Most of the sections are written for three manuals, but they can easily be adapted to a two-manual instrument. Registration suggestions are provided.

David Hurd’s New Plainsong, a unison setting of the ordinary of the Mass first appeared in 1980 and quickly became a staple of Roman Catholic and Episcopal congregations. It was expanded in 1985 for inclusion as one the three complete mass settings in GIA’s iconic Worship—Third Edition. Now, David has set the new texts according the 2010 Roman Missal, keeping this venerable setting alive on the lips of congregations. As the title suggests, this is a chant-like setting accompanied by organ, with sections equally successful being sung unaccompanied. This is sturdy, beautiful music that is able to bear repetition week to week throughout the year.
