Par . Until now, anyone looking for music on the theme of Pentecost and the Holy Spirit for church services and concerts usually had to do so in larger collections that cover the entire church year or parts of it. With Music for the Spirit, there is now a choirbook specifically for the feast of Pentecost for the first time, closing a gap for an important feast of the Catholic, Protestant, and Anglican churches. Over 500 years of choral music from Renaissance to the modern age are covered here with compositions from the German-, English-, Italian- and French-speaking regions. Almost all the great composers of European sacred music are represented, from Palestrina over Byrd, Bach, Mozart, Brahms, Gounod, and Bruckner to Reger, Parry, Stanford, and Distler. With the chronological order, the development of the genre of the Pentecost motet and sacred choral music in general can be traced easily. All pieces can be performed by mixed choir a cappella or with organ accompaniment. In some cases, the accompaniment has been supplemented or arranged by the editor Stephen Harrap, in individual cases also the choral parts, e.g. when the original was composed for male voices only. The scoring ranges from three to eight voices while the length and difficulty of the pieces likewise cover a broad range for a wide variety of choirs and ensembles. / Date parution : 2023-10-31/ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte et Orgue

Forty-one classic and modern anthems for the church year. This anthology draws on over 180 years of publishing to provide an invaluable resource for parish and cathedral choirs. The selection features many of the leading sacred composers of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. All the anthems are for SATB the majority with organ and some unaccompanied. There is a diversity of style and difficulty. Pieces for every season of the church year and every church occasion are included.

SATB and organCaleb Simper (1857-1942) was for many years amongst the most performed of living composers by virtue of his anthems and services which were 'sung throughout the civilised world'. To complement his ever popular voluntaries for the church year (still available from Stainer & Bell) five of his anthems are here reissued in a new edition by Simper's biographer Christopher Turner. Material for the Advent Christmas Easter Whitsun and Harvest festivals dedications and general use is included. Easy and enjoyable to sing the music should win new admirers for the work of this eminent musical Victorian. The anthems included are: He shall reign forever; I will feed my flock; If we believe that Jesus died; O how amiable; The Lord is in his holy temple.

This work was commissioned by the Friends of Cathedral Music to mark their Diamond Jubilee in 2016 with the intention of performance by as many of the affiliated choirs as possible.   Naturally a celebratory anthem was envisaged but with a text that is general enough to allow its performance throughout the church year.   The opening section features a joyful energetic setting of the first five verses of Psalm 105 (King James Version). A contrastingly quiet and gentle passage follows the text being Robert Herrick’s (1591–1674) To Music. A Song ('‘Music thou Queen of Heaven Care-charming spell …'). The openingmaterial then returns with a short ecstatic organ postlude bringing the piece to its conclusion.

Written for the Exon Singers' 2013 Festival this setting of Te Lucis Ante Terminum offers choirs an ideal introduction to the choral works of Matthew Martin. This work is suitable for use throughout the church year and combines musical sophistication with accessible choral parts. An English singing translation is included.

Seasonal Preludes For Organ is a collection of four Organ preludes each based on apopular Hymn Tune.
