This exclusive collection brings together 12 of Nico Muhly?s sacred works for mixed-voice choir. These vivacious fresh and dramatic pieces will make an impact whether in the church or in the concert hall and range from the intimate Lord keep us modest when we claim to the effervescent Bright Star Carol alongside service music such as Muhly?s Third Service. All are accessible to learn and offer choirs a new slant on contemporary choral music at its very best.  'Choral music has always been at the emotional core of my musical output. Even when I?m writing large-scale orchestral works (or indeed chamber music) I alwaysfind myself returning to techniques and textures I?ve greedily stolen from centuries of music from Tye to Howells early and recent. I try to design my own choral music primarily for use in worship where the measure of the success of the piece is if it helps guide the listeners? ears upwards and elsewhere as sacred architecture and the various rituals of the church themselves are meant to do. The specificity of music heard only in certain seasons is for me an important and thrilling element of the choral tradition: a Beethoven Symphony is welcome at any point in the year but an anthem for Candlemas works only then at a certain time of day and on a certain day of the year. With this functional spirit at the heart of the compositional process I hope that the music collected here makes equal sense in a concert setting. These works range from ordinaries of the mass to hymns to motets and represent a decade and a half of output.' - Nico Muhly

Spring in Winter by John Woolrich for SATB was commissioned for the expansive acoustic of King’s College Cambridge. Taking an extract from Christopher Smart’s Hymn 32: The Nativity of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ this short yet effective setting was first performed by the Choir of King’s College Cambridge at the Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols 2001 and has subsequently been adopted into their repertoire.

This is the Vocal Score for British composer Harry Escott's O Viridissima Virga which explores a fresh take on the Christmas story by delving into women's poetry from the late 19th and early 20thcenturies arranged for SATB. The first performance of O Viridissima Virga took place on the 5th December 2010 at St. Bride's Church in London performed by the choir of St. Bride's.Lasting around 25 minutes the texts on which the composition is based are those written by females around the turn of the 20th century presenting an innovative and fascinating approach to the periods of Advent and Nativity witha constant undercurrent of foreboding that backgrounds even the most beautiful parts of the piece's melody. The poems are frames by two settings of hymns to the Virgin Mary written by a 12th century BenedictineAbbess.  Composer Harry Escott has studied at Oxford University and the Royal College of Music and is primarily known as a composer of film scores. He has written for criticallyacclaimed films such as Hard Candy Deep Water Shame and Welcome to the Punch. 

This setting of a 17th century English poem proclaims the wonder of Christmas and the oneness of all things. While the opening two stanzas feature broad and expansive phrases over an arpeggiated accompaniment the work's emotionalcore is found in the contrasting section: “Welcome all wonders in one sight/Summer in winter day in night” before the final recapitulation of the opening strains.
