For many older people hymns are a part of early childhood experiences, their texts and melodies accompany them throughout their whole lifes. Even when in advanced age or in sickness the memories fade, the old melodies and texts are not lost; through hearing or singing they may again be retrieved and can thus form a bridge to the present. Under the motto Singing for all ages Carus is publishing an illustrated songbook (incl. a singalong CD) in large print, a piano accompaniment book with easy settings (also in large print), as well as a CD Box with all 95 hymns, performed by six prominent singers.

Since the beginning of the Protestant Reformation, hymns have been the tie binding the hearts and spirits of Christians together. With their beautiful melodies and poetically penned words, hymns are the universal language of Christian worship, the bond that draws believers together from all walks of life and across the world. With texts of faith and inspiration, hymns speak to present time with words of assurance of hope, and help direct us toward the future in glory. Next to the Bible, they have endured as the timeless voice of the Christian faith, teaching and inspiring believers throughout generations. In this collection of “favorites” we offer listeners a compilation of the genre’s most beloved and inspirational hymns of faith. Arranged by some of today’s most distinguished church music icons, the hymns in this collection will thrill and comfort the faithful listener. Drawing upon the words and melodies of some of the world’s greatest hymn writers, including Fanny Crosby, Charles Wesley, and Martin Luther, the arrangers in this collection maintain each work’s original integrity while beautifully transporting each hymn into the realm of today’s modern worship world. From the stirring strains of “Amazing Grace” to the majestic power of “Holy, Holy, Holy,” this collection will inspire Christian worshipers.

When you have been playing in a band for a long time, you will know that music belongs to the most beautiful moments in life, but also to the roughest times. Making music together can give you strength when things are difficult.To a Friend is a wonderfully comforting work for anyone going through a dark time. Jacob de Haan composed the work for his father in law, Gerard Bosch, a musician to the core. The piece received its first performance justweeks before his passing. On a sun-kissed evening, his friends, the musicians of his two music societies Oefening Baart Kunst (Practice Makes Perfect) Otterlo, and the Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps (Reunion BandArtillery Trumpet Corps) played the work for Gerard - an unknowing yet beautiful goodbye.Wanneer je al lang samen in een orkest speelt, weet je dat muziek hoort bij de mooiste momenten in het leven, maar ook bij de diepste dalen. Samen muziek maken kan je kracht geven wanneer je het moeilijk hebt. To a Friendis een prachtig troostrijk werk voor iedereen die donkere tijden meemaakt. Jacob de Haan componeerde het werk voor zijn schoonvader, Gerard Bosch, een muzikant in hart en nieren. Een paar weken voor diens overlijden was het klaarom te worden uitgevoerd. Op een zonovergoten avond speelden zijn vrienden, de muzikanten van zijn beide muziekverenigingen Oefening Baart Kunst Otterlo en het Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps het voor Gerard. Eenprachtig afscheid. Wer lange in einem Orchester gespielt hat, der weiß, dass Musik zu den schönsten Momenten im Leben gehört, aber auch zu den schwersten. Gemeinsames Musizieren kann einem in schwierigen Zeiten Kraft geben. To a Friend istein wunderbar tröstliches Werk für jeden, der eine schwere Zeit durchlebt. Jacob de Haan komponierte das Werk für seinen Schwiegervater Gerard Bosch, der Musiker durch und durch war. Das Stück wurde nur wenige Wochen vor seinemTod uraufgeführt. An einem sonnigen Abend spielten seine Freunde, die Musiker seiner beiden Musikvereine Oefening Baart Kunst (Übung macht den Meister“) Otterlo und das Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps (Reunion BandArtillerie Trompet Corps) , das Werk für Gerard. Ein unbewusster und zugleich schöner Abschied.Lorsqu’on joue dans un orchestre depuis longtemps, on sait que la musique fait partie des plus beaux moments de la vie, mais aussi d’instants très ardus. Jouer ensemble peut donner de la force lorsque les choses sont difficiles.To a Friend est une œuvre merveilleusement réconfortante pour toute personne confrontée une période sombre. Jacob de Haan a composé cette pièce pour son beau-père, Gerard Bosch, lui-même musicien passionné. Elle a étécréée quelques semaines avant son décès. Lors d’une fin de journée ensoleillée, ses amis, les musiciens de ses deux sociétés musicales (Oefening Baart Kunst Otterlo et le Reünie Orkest Artillerie Trompetterkorps ), ont interprétéla nouvelle composition pour Gerard. Ils l’ignoraient alors, mais ce petit concert constitua un adieu merveilleux.

Version in A major (version in G major: Carus 31.182/50) The cantata Himmelskonig, sei willkommen BWV 182 holds a special place in Johann Sebastian Bach's biography. He had been employed as organist and chamber musician at the court of Weimar since 1708; on 2 March 1714, he was appointed concert master of the court, and his inauguration music for this occasion was Himmelskonig, sei willkommen. The cantata was first performed on Palm Sunday of that year, 25 March 1714. Bach performed this cantata several times - always revising and amending it - both in Weimar and in Leipzig. Of the altogether four versions, the first Leipzig version has been selected for the present new edition. Unlike the Weimar versions, it can be realized effectively using modern performance means. In his debut composition of 1714, the newly appointed concert master demonstrated his abilities: the eight movements contain a multitude of beautiful and rewarding challenges for choir and vocal soloists alike, and in addition there is the unusual attraction of a virtuoso solo part for the recorder. Score and parts available separately - see item CA.3118200.

Text: Eric CrozierPublisher: Boosey & HawkesDifficulty level: 3Saint Nicolas (note the name has no 'H' in it!) was written for the centenary of Lancing College in Sussex, the independent secondary boarding school on the south coast of England which Peter Pears had attended in his teens. It has a vast chapel intended by its founder, Revd Nathaniel Woodard, as the cathedral for all the schools of his extensive foundation known collectively as 'Woodard' schools. St. Nicolas is famous for many legendary miracles and for being the original 'Santa Claus'. Crozier's libretto is designed to tell the story of his life, to recount some of his most celebrated acts and to give the audience/congregation the opportunity of joining in two beautiful hymns at key moments: 'All people that on earth do dwell' and 'God moves in a mysterious way his wonders to perform'. The narration is all done by the choir, though the tenor sings first-person narratives as well in his role as the mature Nicolas. The young Nicolas is sung by a boy in movement II. There is a dramatic moment at the end of this movement when the boy's voice does a tumble and the tenor proclaims in the voice of Nicolas as a young man: 'God be glorified'.The third movement is an accompanied recitative in which the soloist sings of Nicolas devoting himself to God through the agonies and torment of the many distractions and temptations of life. His faith wins through and he sings a final touching phrase: 'and Love was satisfied'. The sea whips up a storm in the next movement: 'He journeys to Palestine'. It threatens to overturn the ship and drown everyone on board. There is wailing from the sopranos and altos of the semi-chorus and agonised calls from the tenors and basses to 'man the pumps'. Finally, Nicolas begs God to let the storm cease and offers thanks for their safe delivery. Britten creates a palpable sense of relief in the final pages.In the fifth movement, 'Nicolas comes to Myra and is chosen Bishop', the choir sings chorale-like phrases welcoming him as their new Bishop. They go through his ceremonial dressing with all the accoutrements of his office, the mitre, crozier (nice pun on the librettist's name), robe and ring. An energetic chorus 'Serve the faith and spurn his enemies' leads to the first great hymn - a wonderfully climactic moment. Britten's arrangement is suitably uplifting.The final movement tells of Nicolas' death and the work ends with the other great hymn: 'God moves in a mysterious way'. This work demonstrates to me Britten's generosity of spirit and his natural feeling for enriching the repertoire at all levels of attainment. What a gift!Duration: 50 minutesPaul Spicer, Lichfield, 2011.
