for 3 sopranos and baroque instruments. Par PECOU THIERRY. For me, as someone who considers myself far removed from Christian spirituality and closer to the concept of Immanence than to any form of Transcendence, it was obvious to me that I would not compose a Miserere comparable to Alesandro Scarlatti’s Lamentazioni. It was also my wish to theatricalise the subject matter, following pagan rituals…

Kantate Zum Ersten Ostertag. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The words are based on the Easter Gospel, the account of the Resurrection of Jesus, which is first joyfully celebrated. Then follows a call to the faithful: every Christian must make the Resurrection a reason to renew himself spiritually, so as to complete a kind of inner Resurrection himself. For his scoring – which changed slightly from per…

Par GARCIA JOSE MAURICIO NUNES. Garcia, born in 1767 in Rio de Janeiro, and priest and music director at the cathedral there, is still hardly known.

Arr. Jacob De Haan. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Even the most basic understanding of Western music must include an intimate familiarity with the magnificent body of works by J. S. Bach.

What a wonderful vehicle for the study of artful phrasing and expression!…

Another brilliant Christmas spiritual from Jay Althouse. 'Run, run to Bethlehem. See the tiny baby lying in the hay.' The melody practically sings itself, the steady, even rhythms drive the piece forward, and dynamic changes add excitement. A contrasting middle section adds a different dimension before a return to the opening melody and a closing section in which each voice is added on to the men'…

Infectious from the very beginning, this Christmas spiritual is dynamic and delightful! The classic call/answer format allows for select soloists or sections. The anthem builds to an exciting finish. The piano accompaniment supports the solid choral scoring. / Choeur Mixte (SATB)
