O Praise God in His Holiness (Psalm 150) arranged by David Bednall for accompanied mixed voices. This piece was commissioned by All Saints’ Church Northampton and its Director Edward Whiting and received its premiere in the Jean Langlais Festival 2006. The organ for this first performance had no playing aids and no line of sight to the conductor and so the style is antiphonal. The feeling throughout should be one of great and highly rhythmic exuberance reflecting the spirit of this much loved psalm with a more relaxed and gentle feel for the middle section. This piece is from Faber's Choral SignatureSeries which introduces a wealth of new or recently written choral music to choirs in search of fresh repertoire. the series draws in a rich diversity of living composers and includes both lighter and more challenging contemporary works offering a thrilling array of varied styles.

This major work for chorus soloists and piano quartet (piano violin clarinet cello) or full orchestra is based on the Psalms used in the Passover Seder dinner from the Old Testament times to the present. Psalms 113 to 118 areset in four movements and unite the Judeo-Christian community in song as mentioned in the New Testament (Matthew 26:30 and Mark 14:26). These Psalms may have been the last songs Jesus sang with His disciples at the Last Supperbefore His death. Includes: To the God of Glory and Mercy (Psalm 113); Passover Hymn (Psalm 114); The One True God (Psalm 115); Thanksgiving (Psalm 116); Summons to Praise (Psalm 117);Processional Hymn (Psalm 118) – based on HAD GADYA an ancient Aramaic song used at the conclusion of the Passover Seder.

For better readability the new edition is printed in a slightly larger format than previous editions.The present publication is an offprint from the renewed edition of Kodály's complete choral works for mixed voices.

Handel wrote the famous Dixit Dominus with the text of Psalm 109 during his time in Italy in c. 1707. Although he was only 22 years old the work already demonstrates his wide spectrum of compositional abilities which are later fully realized in his operas and oratorios. Central to this work are the six choral movements which with their polyphonic structure are closely related to German choral music of the 17th century.The first Urtext edition BA 4002 based on the Halle Handel Edition was published in 1960. At that time no critical commentary was published so that in cases of doubt the basis on which editorialdecisions were made was not officially recorded. A new complete edition volume (BA 10704/01) due to be published in 2013 will include a detailed foreword providing information on the genesis and the first performance of this work as well as information on the psalm on which this work is based and on performance practice. In addition several facsimiles pages will be included giving a view into the source material. The critical commentary will provide a detailed insight into all the available sources and how they have been passed down.This newly revised Urtext performing edition offers a thorough revision of this frequently-performed work and meets all the requisites of a scholarly-critical edition. Former readings in the old edition regarding a small number of pitches but mostly basso continuo figures and the underlying text have now been able to be amended on the basis of the new findings. In the new edition the work appears in nine movements no longer eight which reflects the composer's intentions.The new performance material is not compatible with the old one.Presented in a revised Urtext editionClear straightforward Piano reduction in the vocal scoreUrtext of the Halle Handel EditionFull score performance material (BA10704) & Vocal score (BA10704-90) available for sale

Nico Muhly's Marrow composed for SATB choir unaccompanied with texts from Psalm 63 vv.1–3 6–8 Book of Common Prayer (1662). Commissioned by the Netherlands Chamber Choir for the project 150 Psalms to be premiered by the Tallis Scholars during Utrecht Early Music Festival September 1st 2017. Duration: c. 3 minutes. 'Last September in one weekend in Utrecht settings were sung of all 150 Psalms by 150 different composers covering 1000 years of choral music. The Tallis Scholars were one of the four choirs taking part and among their contributions was this new piece by Nico Muhly. The words are from the Book ofCommon Prayer version of Psalm 63 with the title teasingly taking one word from ‘My soul shall be satisfied even as it were with marrow and fatness.’ Cries of ‘O God’ provide a fluid background to an almost plainchant-like proclamation of the text at start and finish with other voices gradually joining the psalm text in the central section until all unite on ‘when my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips’. For a choir happy to subdivide into 4S 2A 2T and 2B it is a setting of imagination and beauty.' - Sunday by Sunday
