A Tender Light is a collection of new choral music by the Welsh composer Paul Mealor, including the Ubi caritas , made famous by its inclusion in the Royal Wedding Ceremony of His Royal Highness Prince William and Catherine Middleton (now TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge) at Westminster Abbey in April 2011. 2.5 billion people (the largest audience in broadcasting history) heard his Motet on that day and since then it has topped the Classical singles charts in the USA, UK, Australia, France and New Zealand and has already entered the standard repertoire for many choirs. For singers wanting to explore further the music of Mealor, this book also contains the luminous She Walks in Beauty , the contemplative O vos omnes and the madrigal sequence Now Sleeps the Crimson Petal. Locus iste and Ave Maria are modern yet timeless settings of well-known texts. This is a must-have collection for any mixed voice choir wanting to explore the latest and best in choral repertoire.

Burchard has become one of the most commissioned composers and for good reason. His madrigal style is consistently enthralling with an easy harmonic flow gentle suspensions and a fluid density that is uniquely his own. The Burns text is famously familiar but the tune is completely original. The piece begins with the introduction of the theme sung by unison sopranos. Parts are added until the full divisi complement of voices are encircling each other in typical Burchard fashion. Medium in difficulty and appropriate for any concert situation.

Edition de Gerald Hoekstra In 1597 the Antwerp printer Pierre Phal? issued what was to be his last new anthology of chansons, Le Rossignol musical des chansons for the enjoyment of those who delight in singing in the French tongue. Like his great madrigal anthologies of the 1580s, this collection for four, five, and six voices exhibits a wide variety of secular song styles of the time. Texts range from the conservative and somewhat moralistic to the risqu?nd playful, and musical styles from the homophonic, rhythmic manner associated with the Parisian chanson to the more polyphonic and expressive style of the Italian madrigal. Composers include local Antwerp musicians such as Pevernage and Cornet, Netherlanders working abroad such as Rogier and Monte, and Frenchmen such as Le Jeune and Caignet. Although a few of the pieces had been published previously, most are unique to this print. Table des mati?s :Dedication to the 1597 Edition, by Pierre Phal?The Four-Part Chansons 1.

33 Songs for Voice and Piano - Critical edition-Numbering more than 100 in total and composed across a 60-year period Gabriel Fauré's songs form the single most influential contribution to the field of French art song.Despite their importance the songs have long been riddled with misprints and inconsistencies. This first complete critical edition is based on study of hundreds of manuscript and printed sources along with evidence and interpretative advice from artists who worked with Fauré;. Above all it is a practical edition informed by extensive work with musicians in performances masterclasses and workshops.This second volume comprises the songs of Fauré's creative maturity including popular favourites (Les Roses d'Ispahan Clair de lune) alongside some lesser-known gems together with his three vocal duets and the delightful four-voice Madrigal.

Those interested in French music have often had reason to be grateful to Roger Nichols; his writings on Debussy Ravel Messiaen and Poulenc are indispensable to the music lover.Nichols now turns his attentions to the mélodie where it is his mission to encourage singers to explore beyond the well-trodden paths of French song. In these two anthologies he does not ignore masterpieces by composers of the stature of Fauré and Duparc but sets them alongside music - almost impossible to find elsewhere in print - by such under-estimated figures as Reber Viardot Massé and Paladilhe.Even the more celebrated songs are often not easilyfound in practical editions which makes this selection an ideal starting point for wider exploration. In each of these volumes the songs appear in the chronological order of their composer's birth but Nichols somehow contrives a line-up of music which seems delightfully arbitrary at the same time as carefully designed to enrich everyone's understanding of the mélodie. The books also contain a remarkable amount of scholarship lightly worn and pithily expressed.As well as complete translations of the songs there is a useful and concise introduction on singing in French together with an illuminating historical note and critical commentary; and Nichols gives full due to the poets who were of crucial importance in the development of the mélodie tradition.Complete with translations and guidance on pronunciationReber GuitareGounod Le soirGounod Le premier jour de maiViardot Les deux rosesViardot La mésangeFranck NocturneMassé SouvenirsLalo Chant BretonSaint-Saëns Chanson tristeBizet Vieille chanson Massenet Madrigal
