Edward Elgar’s The Dream Of Gerontius is a splendid oratorio for Mezzo-soprano Tenor and Bass with Chorus and Orchestra. It is based on the epic poem The Dream of Gerontius by John Henry Newman written in 1865. The original vocal score of Gerontius was actually printed before Elgar's had even finalised or completed his final orchestration and as such it was printed without many of the markings that were added in the later full score. This new edition brings vocal and full scores into agreement for the first time having been authentically and effectively edited by Hywel Davies and Bruce Wood and also includes helpful notes on thebackground to the work as well as an outline of the editorial procedure and list of sources.

Sing Pop A Cappella is a collection of a cappella arrangements of fantastic pop songs old and new by renowned teacher singer and director Gitika Partington. Her arrangements are used by choirs across the UK and she emphasises that being able to read music is not necessary. Rewarding and enjoyable Book Three continues her project to bring people together through the power of song. What's great about Gitika Partington's Sing Pop A Cappella series is how she understands that to make great music or to sing a great song it's not necessary to be able to sight-read. It may be useful but shehas learned that there are other ways to communicate music namely through ear training repetition and gesture. Her arrangements five of which appear in this book have enabled youth and community choirs to spring up across the country making singing truly and universally accessible.  Included in this book are wonderfully rich a cappella arrangements of Ain't No Sunshine by Bill Withers Black Is The Colour Of My True Love's Hair Rick Astley's Never Gonna Give You Up Adele's Rolling In The Deep and a huge favourite Sway (Quien Sera). Vocal scores for these innovative and enjoyable arrangements are included in standard notation although Partington recommends learning by ear as something equally beneficial. To aid with this the accompanying download card includes five tracks of audio for each song. One features a full performance demonstration while the other four each focus on either soprano alto tenor or bass. The easy download of these tracks makes learning efficient and fun as you are able to listen wherever you are. The great thing about a cappella singing is that it can be done anywhere with limited resources with members who don't necessarily have any musical training. Partington has created a

The Vocal Score for Tarik O'Regan's 2004 composition Threnody forms a part of the larger cantata Triptych but works beautifully as a piece in its own right. Lasting around five minutes Threnody was commissioned with funds from The RVW Trust for the Choir of London's inaugural concert in Christ Church Spitalfields on the 18th of December 2004. The work is arranged for SATB Chorus and String Orchestra and this item is the Vocal Score. Taking the lyrics from a diverse range of literary sources including William Blake's Auguries of Innocence William Penn and Psalm133 the solemn beauty of these texts is matched by the dynamism of the vocal performances in conjunction with the staccato rhythms of the orchestra. Crescendos and diminuendos give a sense of urgency and excitement to the vocals the harmonies of which are expertly composed.

POD-James Whitbourn's Agnus Dei From Missa Carolae. Missa Carolae was commissioned by Rochester Cathedral the second oldest cathedral in England to mark the 1400th anniversary ofits foundation. It was first performed there on 24 December 2004 by the Rochester Cathedral Choirs Andy Findon (Fife) the Locke Brass Consort Edmund Aldhouse (Organ) Joby Burgess and Catherine Ring (Percussion) directed byRoger Sayer. The work is intended to invoke a dance-like spirit which is true to the origin of the carol as a simple dance form. The choir parts should be very well-known so that the singers can sing with the whole oftheir bodies and not just their voices. This version is a reduced scoring for SATB (unchanged) with Organ and optional Piccolo and also acts as the vocal score to the full version. In this scoring the Piccolo adds to theeffectiveness of the piece. In either scoring the Piccolo may be replaced with a Flute Fife or even a more rustic Pipe as was used at the first performance. The original scoring for SATB with Piccolo Brass (3 Trumpetsand 3 Trombones) Percussion (2 players) and Organ accompaniment is the preferred version. Full score and parts are available on hire from the publisher or full score on sale (CH71621). The Piccolo part (CH79893-01) is common toboth scorings and is available on sale or hire with the full version. The Organ accompaniment in this score is for performance of the version for SATB Piccolo and Organ only. An A4 spiral-bound version of this score may bepreferable for the organist (CH79893-02). The separate Organ part - available on hire - must be used for the version with instruments.An ad lib. part for the congregation (CH70961 pack of 50) is incorporated into the fullscoring of Missa Carolae.
