The choral collection Hallelujah. Gospels and Spirituals transports us into the fascinating world of African American folk songs. 30 gospels and spirituals have been arranged for mixed choir, unaccompanied or with piano. The choral parts sometimes divide, and occasionally solo parts (or even a small choral group) are required. The arrangements with their catchy rhythms, groove, their blue notes and other elements from Jazz and Blues and the principles of call-and-response will move performers and audiences in equal measure. As well as American classics (e.g. Amazing grace, Go down Moses, Kumbaya, Deep river, Down by the riverside, Good News, O when the saints, Nobody knows, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho), the collection also contains some discoveries from the beginnings of the genre. Just under half the arrangements were specially commissioned for the collection. Young composers from the USA (such as Courtney Carey, Marques Garrett) and arrangers from Canada, Denmark, and Germany (including Mark Sirett, John Hoybye, Thomas Gabriel, Carsten Gerlitz, Gunther Martin Gottsche, and Hans Ludemann) have contributed to this stylistically extremely varied choral collection. The medium difficulty level will enable many choirs to get to grips with the gospel style, something which perhaps few of them are very familiar with. Tips from the editors on performance, and a CD recording with a selection of the arrangements will help with learning the pieces. With their deep and emotional symbolism of captivity and repression on the one hand and redemption and freedom on the other hand, these Gospel settings are well-suited for many uses in concerts and church services. arrangements of around 30 spirituals and gospels for four-part mixed choir a cappella or with keyboard accompaniment medium difficulty level a good introduction for choirs with little previous experience of this repertoire includes popular classics such as Amazing grace, Deep river, Go down Moses, Good News, Nobody knows, Joshua fit the battle of Jericho wide variety of styles with many new arrangements conductor's score with CD Introductory price: 29.90 Euro, from 01.12.2019: 34.90 Euro.

Perfectly suited for students at the middle school, high school, and collegiate levels, Learning Harmony and Improvisation Using Conversational Solfege is the culmination of John M. Feierabend’s best-selling curriculum. As with all books in the Conversational Solfege series, this book continues the 12-step “ear-before-eye†approach while exploring the concepts of harmony and improvisation. To facilitate effortless aural learning, the book employs solfege syllables, clever illustrations, melodic patterns, and a unique method for part-singing called vocal chording. The first four units in the book introduce basic harmonic functions in major and harmonic minor, and the following eight units explore the various modes—Aeolian, Dorian, Mixolydian, Phrygian, and Lydian—and their implied harmonies. Improvisation is the natural extension of harmonic understanding, and this book presents ten challenge levels that ask students to perform increasingly difficult improvisational skills while vocal chording. These range from singing a single chord tone per function to adding passing tones, suspensions, retardations, and anticipations. In keeping with the Conversational Solfege tradition, units conclude with a representative sampling of folk repertoire and classical music—complete with bass lines and chord charts for all selections. With the effective step-by-step process presented in Learning Harmony and Improvisation Using Conversational Solfege, harmonic and improvisational understanding are more accessible and intuitive than ever. John M. Feierabend, PhD, has spent decades compiling songs and rhymes from the memories of the American people in hopes that these treasures will be preserved for future generations. He is a leading authority on child development in music and movement and served as Professor and Chair of the Music Education Department of the Hartt School of the University of Hartford.
