Stephen Chatman : Due South (Complete Collection)

Review: Due South is one in a series of four choral suites that explore the cultural and natural wonders of various regions of North America. Stephen Chatman's choral settings are broad in scope and tone; the tone painting evokes the stunning landscapes and their diverse communities. Both his original texts and those of poet Tara Wohlberg capture the enchanted worlds of North, South, East, and West. 1. Arise is the short opening of this suite of five pieces, and is set to glorious homophonic music with rising motives in the lower voices. 2. What's Cookin'? takes its sweet time tantalizing the listener with all the menu items of a truly Southern feast. Music, set to a slow tempo in swing eighths, makes the recitation tempting, if not downright sultry. 3. Bugs is a soundscape of insects and their songs. Precise vocal effects make this challenging but also whimsical, and the result is pure fun. 4. Love, O Love recalls an old-fashioned love letter in which the writer compares the beloved to the moon and the sun and pledges eternal love. The music begins with lush chords sung together, moves to an over-arching soprano line with gentle undulations in the lower parts, and finishes with the choir singing together again, "Love shines on you, my only one." 5. A perfectly apt finale to this choral suite, Kentucky Derby begins with a nod to "My Old Kentucky Home," and then it's off to the races, literally. The text of the suite is declaimed rapidly in patter-song format, almost as if the chorus is calling race as it progresses. A tour de force, and truly, "..a wild ride!"

Songlist: Due South: 5. Kentucky Derby, Due South: 1. Arise, Due South: 3. Bugs, Due South: 4. Love, O Love, Due South: 2. What's Cookin'?

Stephen Cleobury : Hymns from King's

Review: Hymns from King's is a volume of 20 hymn arrangements for choir and keyboard by Stephen Cleobury - Director of Music at King's College Cambridge for more than 25 years. Covering the entire church year, Hymns from King's is not just a book of descants - it also contains varied arrangements and accompaniments for many of the most popular hymns sung not only at King's College, but also in churches around the world.

Stephen Foster : American Masterpieces

Review: Stephen Foster was America's Schubert - the lyric laureate of the 19th Century South. With Foster sentiment was a virtue, expressed in sweet harmonies and haunting tunes. The underlying emotion of these songs is nostalgia - a pervasive longing for things lost which seems to permeate the very intervals of the melodies. When Foster - like Schubert - died young and poor, it seemed as though he was fulfilling the prophecies of his own melancholy songs. Jon Washburn's medly of favorite Stephen Foster songs was composed in 1985 for the Vancouver Chamber Choir and premiered on a concert called the music of the Great Songwriters. Gregg Smith edits/arranges 'Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming,' which was elected by the National Endowment for the Arts as an one of the "American Masterpieces" of choral music. Halloran's arrangement of camptown races is very fun to sing, great opportunity for a soloist along with some excellent vocal accompaniment. Halloran's arrangement of Nelly Bly is equally fun with an energizing chorus, and the men get the melody in the verses!

Songlist: A Stephen Foster Medley, Nelly Bly, Camptown Races, Come Where My Love Lies Dreaming

Stephen Hatfield : Missa Primavera

Review: This four movement Missa Brevis (Kyrie, Sanctus, Gloria and Agnus Dei) is full of multicultural influences with deep roots in the dance. Drawing from Bulgarian rhythm and melodic contour, Turkish finger cymbals, mandolin figures of bluegrass waltzes, plainsong chant and the Peking Opera this is a fresh and exciting look at a traditional musical form.

Songlist: Missa Primavera

Stephen Leek : Aussie Songs

Review: "Kumbargung" - One of the easiest and most immediately appealing from Stephen Leek's In Construction series. It is suitable for singers of all ages and uses indigenous Australian words that are spoken in rhythm at various pitch levels. "Kumbargung" means "night" and other evocative words include "ungi gungi" (grasshopper) and "goolay yali" (pelican). A delight for all ages! "Tunggare" means "voice" or "to sing" in an Australian dialect. This is a wonderful opening or closing to a concert. There is much repetition and very easy tenor and bass parts, so it is perfect for a high school choir (and other choirs as well!). It may also be used as a choral piece for audience participation. "Riawanna" is an Australian native word for "circles" and the piece is a do-it-yourself round with thousands of possibilities. It includes mixed meters. The final instruction in the accompanying notes says it all: "have fun".

Songlist: Kumbargung, Riawanna, Tunggare

Stephen Leek : Island Songs

Review: Three songs from the Torres Strait Islands to the north of Australia. The songs have been composed as adaptations of traditional songs and no attempt has been made to translate or interpret the text or language which these songs are traditionally sung but an attempt has been made to capture the essence and joy for singing which is central to the music making from this region. Includes Monkey and Turtle, Trade Winds and Morning Tide. Good for use in a high school choir or as a set of encore pieces for college or community choir.

Songlist: Monkey and Turtle, Trade Winds, Morning Tide

Stephen Leek : Songs Of Passage

Review: Stephen Leek's famous work from Songs of Passage. "Ngana" means "shark" and the piece strikingly captures the driving energies, rhythms and vivid colors of the island seascape found around the northeastern tip of Australia. Pronounced "ungahyullyull" meaning "hawk dreaming". The text reflects the thoughts of the sheep farmer herding his sheep, ever aware of the hawk circling overhead. The second of Stephen Leek's Songs of Passage, this is a highly evocative and beautiful composition using easy but effective modern compositional techniques. The music includes "boxes" of material for singers to work through as well as traditionally scored sections. The writing is easy to sing though it contains some chord clusters. Some song texts in an Australian Aboriginal language, some in English. Lots of fun here!

Songlist: Ngana, Ngayulyul, Coraparena, Ceduna, Tabulam

Stephen Shewan : Mother Goose Gems

Review: Gems is right! Six rhymes from Mother Goose, varying from fast to slow, treble voices to TB voices to mixed voices, this set is a concert in itself.

Songlist: Bip Bop, Coffee, Animalia, Creepy, Crawly Creatures, Far Across The Valley, Match Cats On The Avenue, Pancakes!, Soaring Gliding, Starshine, Moonlight, The King's Three Sons, Wassail, Wassail

Steve Martland : Skywalk (I See the Horizon)

Review: Skywalk - an astronaut describes his feelings as he walks in space and looks at his planet, Earth, in all its beauty. Steve Martland sets the text to music that is weightless, luminous, incantatory.

Steve Sidwell : Honda Civic "Choir"

Review: Arranged for performance as the soundtrack to a car commercial, Honda Civic "Choir" recreates the various sounds made by, in, and around a Honda Civic by using specific syllables, dynamics, and mouth shapes, alongside body percussion such as chest thumps, tapping teeth, and more. All sounds in the piece are made with the human body. Watch

Steven Sametz : The Heroine Triumphant

Review: A medley of songs (opening with a barbershop quartet) from the 1890's with soprano and mezzo-soprano soloists. The Heroine Triumphant links four songs which together trace the story of a young girl who comes to town in search of her brother ("Mother Was a Lady"); she is cruelly deceived by a drummer, an unscrupulous low-life, claiming to know her brother. He proposes marriage, but in "Take Back Your Gold" we find his intentions are less than honorable. The heroine finds herself alone and cast out in "She Is More To Be Pitied Than Censured." Finally, she rises above her misery and woe to find a new life in "Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay!" The opening barbershop quartet may be sung by a small ensemble, but the character voices of the narrator and the drummer should be assigned to soloists. The Heroine Triumphant easily lends itself to some simple staging. Fun!

Songlist: Mother Was A Lady, Take Back Your Gold, She Is More To Be Pitied Than Censured, Ta-ra-ra-Boom-de-ay

Steven Sametz : World Folk Songs

Sweet Honey In The Rock : Continuum

Review: Long awaited, the 20 arrangements contained herein are a joyous testimony to the significance of this African-American female ensemble. Compiled and edited by Ysaye M Barnwell, whose bass register and poignant compositions are an integral component of the Sweet Honey character, the songbook also includes performance notes, a discography and several essays. The voice ranges vary, depending upon the arrangement, but are typically five part, and reach down into the bass clef, notated as SATB plus lead. Their songs are living and breathing entities, and the texture of their sound requires flexibility. As said of Sweet Honey in the foreword, by Harry Belafonte, "their melodies make the soul sing!"

Songlist: Breaths, Would You Harbor Me?, We Are..., Cum Ba Yah, Young and Positive, Inner Voices, Run, Denko, Fulani Chant, Dream Songs Of Love, Wodaabe Nights, Alunde, Stay, Prayer To The One, Goin' To See My Baby, Motherless Child, Ella's Song, Sometime, I Remember, I Believe, No More Auction Block

Tarik O'Regan : The Night's Untruth

Review: Tarik O'Regan's The Night's Untruth for SATB chorus, brass ensemble and organ is a co-commission celebrating the 10th anniversary of JAM (The John Armitage Memorial Trust) and the 40th anniversary of VocalEssence. 'The Night's Untruth explores the use of sleep as metaphor by dint of excerpts from poems written in the 17th to 20th centuries. Death, love, fear, ecstasy, isolation, dreaming and rest are all textual variations on the theme of sleep and can be found in the chosen texts. The work's title is taken from a line in a poem by Samuel Daniel (1562-1619) and speaks to the composition's focus on sleep as a parallel, possibly dystopian, existence to the one experienced in our waking hours.' - Tarik O'Regan, March 2010

Tarik O'Regan : The Spring

Review: Jointly commissioned by the National Chamber Choir and the Cork International Choral Festival for the seminar from composition to performance, the seminar on choral music. This work was premièred at the Cork International Choral Festival on May 2, 2008 by the National Chamber Choir of Ireland conducted by Bo Holten.

Tarik O'Regan : The Stillness Chained

Review: A setting for unaccompanied SSAATTBB choir of lines by the Japanese poet Yone Noguchi contemplating the theme of night. Slow and sustained, the music opens and closes in hushed tones, steadily swelling and dying away suggesting the fall and passing of darkness.

Theron Kirk : Three Love Songs

Review: With over 1,000 published arrangements the late Theron Kirk was a talented and prolific arranger. Here's a collection of unaccompanied love songs - "I Love Life" is a brisk exuberant setting of words by Shelley. "Love is Life's End" is a contemplative setting of words by Phineas Fletcher. "Life's Delight" is a setting of words by Thomas Campion where the music begins delicately and accelerates to a full-voiced climax. Add a little love to your repertoire!

Songlist: I Love Love, Life's Delight, Love is Life's End

Thomas Tallis : A Tallis Anthology

Review: This anthology comprises 17 of Tallis's shorter choral pieces, and is designed to provide choirs and students with a pratical and interesting cross-section of the composer's smaller-scale ourput. These are pratical perfoming editions, transposed where necessary, supplemented by a full critical apparatus for each peice and a general introduction to the anthology.

Songlist: Audivi vocem de caelo, Derelinquit impius, Hear the voice and prayer, If Ye Love Me, In ieiunio et fletu, In manus tuas, Laudate Dominum, Mihi autem nimis, O Lord, give thy Holy Spirit, O Lord, in thee is all my trust, O nata lux, O Sacrum Convivium, O salutaris hostia, Purge me, O Lord, Salvator mundi, Te lucis ante terminum, Verily, verily, I say unto you

Thomas Tallis : English Sacred Music

Review: The sixteenth century was a time of religious upheaval in England. From Henry VIII's protestant reformation through Queen Mary's staunch but short-lived Catholic revival to the return of Anglicanism in Elizabethan times, it would have required careful diplomacy for a Roman Catholic like Thomas Tallis simply to stay alive. In fact he became the most respected composer of his generation and is now recognised as one of the country's greatest composers. 2005 was the five hundredth anniversary of Thomas Tallis' birth and his genius is celebrated in this collection of English-texted sacred music, selected and edited by Jeremy Summerly to provide an invaluable source of introits and anthems for choirs

Songlist: If You Love Me, Hear the Voice and Prayer, A New Commandment, O Lord, Give They Holy Spirit, I Call and Cry to Thee, O Lord, With All Our Heart, Discomfit Them, O Lord, Why Fumeth in Sight

Thomas Tallis : The Tallis Psalter - Psalms and Anthems

Review: The Tallis Psalter comprises a collection of Tallis's nine tunes for Archbishop Parker's Psalter, preces and responses, the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis (Dorian Service) and a number of easily learnable anthems, all by Tallis. David Skinner is one of the leading scholars in editing music of this period, and this book will be attractive to choirs looking for easily performable and new versions of Tallis choral works.

Thomas Tomkins : English Anthems 2

Review: A selection of nine works by Tomkins, including his seven Penitential Psalms, which comprise a fine and coherent set. Edited by Ivan Moody, this is part of a series of short volumes, each devoted to a single composer or appropriate group of composers, thoroughly exploring the unlimited resources of Renaissance sacred polyphony.

Songlist: O Lord, Rebuke Me Not, Blessed Is He, Put Me Not To Rebuke, Have Mercy Upon Me, O Lord, Hear My Prayer, O Lord, And Let My Crying Come, Out Of The Deep, Hear My Prayer, O Lord, And Consider My Desire, Arise, O Lord, And Have Mercy, O Lord, Open Thou Our Lips

Tim Sharp : Angel Band

Review: This work grew out of the co-creator's love for the tunes and texts coming out of the Appalachian Mountains and the shape-note and early Moravian singing tradition. In the words of Tim Sharp, We took the image of bands of angels singing and playing at the Nativity as reported in the second chapter of Luke's gospel, transported that image to Appalachia, and Angel Band is the result. Containing 8 carols (mostly familiar), a processional and recessional, Angel Band is a fusion of ideas ranging from medieval tunes to contemporary bluegrass.

Tina Harrington : Two Serbian Folks Songs

Review: Selected for the Ron Kean multicultural series, these Serbian folk songs have been tastefully arranged by educator, Tina Harrington. Although these pieces can be performed alone, it is actually a partner with "Sano Duso." "Ajde Jano" is a playful love song that frolics and skips as its text celebrates dancing and singing. Even as the music shifts from F minor to major and back again, the ethnic modality transports you to Serbia. A more tender love song than its partner piece, they program perfectly together.

Songlist: Sano Duso, Ajde Jano

Tomas Luis de Victoria : Masses and Motets

Review: This beautifully presented edition from Novello offers a full Mass setting alongside a Motet, both for SATB chorus, by Tomas Luis De Victoria. Regarded by many as one of the greatest composers of Spanish renaissance polyphony, this Mass setting is rich in his characteristic tonalities and the textures of the sacred choral tradition. Alongside this is the original Motet upon which the Mass setting is based. Both are transcribed and edited by Andrew Parker. The pairing of the two works offers an exciting and fascinating performance opportunity, with the devout grandeur of the Mass set against the modesty of the original Motet.

Songlist: MISSA O QUAM GLORIOSUM, MOTET O QUAM GLORIOSUM EST REGNUM
