Robert H. Young: Christmas Choral Anthems for A Cappella Voices

Review: In 'There Is No Rose of Such Virture' Robert H. Young sets Christina Rossetti's Christmas themed text to music with a beautiful melody and soft yet poignant harmonies. 'Songs of Nativity' include 'The Virgin's Cradle Hymn,' and 'When Christ Was Born of Mary Free,' two timeless Christmas gems. Another Christmas themed poem by Christina Rossetti is 'Before the Paling of the Stars.' This piece starts out with a tenor solo and later has 4-part harmony in the women's voices and 3-part harmony in the men's. The classic tune 'A Babe is Born in Bethlehem' is brought to us with elegant 4-part harmony with occasional divisi in some parts. The 6-part arrangement of 'Sweet Was The Song' would be a great addition to your Christmas program with its beautifully catchy melody. The triumphant harmonies of 'What Sweeter Music Can We Bring' will also wow your audience, perfect for a Christmas Eve celebration.

Robert Young : A Loving Heart to Thee

Robert Young's romantic, chorale-madrigal style has gathered a following all its own. Using the words of Robert Herrick (1591-1674), Dr. Young has painted a lovely musical poem that is as much a love song as a prayer.

Composer: Robert Young

Robert Young : A Prayer

Robert Young has earned a loyal following from his romantic styled writing. The light accompaniment maintains an almost a cappella feeling to this beautiful setting of the poem by Nadejda De Braganca. This selection would work well as a generic petition in the school situation, or as a prayer during worship.

Composer: Robert Young

Edmund Spenser : Fair Is the Heaven

Composer: Edmund Spenser
