Anthony G. Petti : The Chester Book of Motets - Volume 13 The volumes of this expanding series are devoted to a wide range of sacred renaissance motets with Latin texts, and contain a mixture of well known and unfamiliar pieces, some of which are published for the first time. All appear in editions by Anthony G. Petti. Contents: Ad Te Levavi (White) -Adolescentulus Sum Ego (Mundy) - Aspice Domine (Byrd, William) - Four Rounds From Pammellia (Ravenscroft) - Jubilate Deo (Dering) - Laboravi In Gemitu (Morley) - O Lux Beata Trinitas (Byrd). Elena Kats-Chernin : Doo Doo was commissioned by the Fourth International Choral Symposium held in Sydney. The themes of this piece was inspired by a documentary on children in Bosnia during the war. They were playing on the exciting but dangerous side of the street while their mothers called them to go home to comparative safety. Nonsense syllables were chosen for the children's games while strong rhythms in the mixed chorus represent the war. The six solo voice ensemble is used to express the calling of the mothers. The location is not specific as war continues in many parts of the world with children suffering the most. John Sheppard : Missa Cantate This practical performing edition is based on the single extant manuscript preserved at the Bodleian Library. The beautiful and well-written Missa Cantate (Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, and Agnus Dei) follows the well-established technique of drawing some material, usually the cantus firmus, from a pre-existing work. Songlist: Missa Cantate, Gloria, Credo, Sanctus, Agnus Dei John Tavener : Funeral Ikos A sacred work for unaccompanied SSATBB choir, using text from The Order for the Burial of Dead Priests, translated from Greek by Isabel Hapgood. Vocal score with piano accompaniment for rehearsal purposes.

Featured on their album, Postcards, here are several of their favorites. Bon voyage! Includes: Arirang (Korea), Pokarekare Ana (New Zealand), The Oak and the Ash (England), Botany Bay (Australia), Es dunkelt schon in der Heide (Germany), O My Love Is Like a Red, Red Rose (Scotland), El Vito (Andalusia), Little David, Play on Your Harp (America). Songlist: Arirang, Pokarekare Ana, The Oak and the Ash, Botany Bay, Es dunkelt schon in die Heide, O My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose, El Vito, Little David, Play On Your Harp King's Singers : Sing Mika From their successful concert performances with the British pop star Mika, here are the King's Singers' settings of several of his most popular songs. Imaginative, joyful and empowering, this music is unique in the world of a cappella! Songlist: Any Other World, By The Time, Grace Kelly, Lady Jane, Lollipop, Over My Shoulder, Rain, Toy Boy King's Singers : More from 'The Beatles Connection' From the King's Singers' Beatles album, 'Penny Lane' has been one of the most requested by choir directors. The excellent writing of Chilcott breathes new life into this favorite. From the King's Singers and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra "Music of the Beatles" album, 'When I'm 64' is a fun and swinging arrangement of the Lennon and McCartney classic. Featuring inventive jazz band-style vocal accompaniments throughout, everyone gets their turn singing the clever lyrics of the melody. From their recording, Beatles Connection, the often-requested arrangement of 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da' is available for the first time. The setting of the heart-felt Lennon and McCartney ballad, 'Here, There and Everywhere' is featured on the King's Singers and the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra "Music of the Beatles" album. In this Paul Hart arrangement, the melody is supported by gentle rhythms and countermelodies in the other voices. A perfect opportunity to feature soloists. Songlist: Penny Lane, When I'm Sixty-Four, Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, Here, There And Everywhere Marion Linton : Cole Porter A Cappella Beginning as a waltz, "I Get A Kick Out Of You," this lively Cole Porter tune goes into 4 at the bridge. Initiated by the bass, this time change provides a good vehicle for practicing four in the space of three and vice versa. The tune is short, punctuated by rhythmic shots and ends with a bang. "Let's Do It" is impossible to sing without a smile. Humor, wit, quotes as well as insect and animal sounds thrive throughout its four verses. It's a challenge but well worth the work--and talk about a crowd please! "Love For Sale" is a challenging setting for Cole Porter's cynical look at love. From a soulful alto solo, we move to an up-tempo Latin groove suggestive of life on the street. Featured again in the bridge is the alto whose message is colored by humorous comments and quotes. Rich harmonies abound and build to a dynamic ending. A vamp is used throughout "What Is This Thing Called Love" as an introduction, interlude, ending and even as accompaniment for a be-bop chorus where high women's voices bemoan the pain of love gone wrong. Soprano, as solo or section, is featured on melody throughout this chart. Songlist: I Get A Kick Out of You, Let's Do It (Let's Fall in Love), Love For Sale, What Is This Thing Called Love? Philip Lawson : Five Renaissance Editions Here are five representative works of Josquin des Prez, probably the most famous European composer of the high Renaissance style of polyphonic vocal music in a value priced collection for mixed choirs and madrigal groups. Songlist: Allegez Moi, Mille Regretz, Nymphes Des Bois, Petite Camusette, Scaramella Take 6 : The Official Scores From their seminal, self-titled album, an a cappella masterpiece, these songs have been painstakingly transcribed and edited into a complete collection of the album's arrangements. Dive into the group that changed a cappella singing for generations to come. This unique blend of Gospel, Jazz, R&B, Pop and Soul can only be described as Take 6. Songlist: Mary, Gold Mine, Spread Love, If We Ever (Needed The Lord Before), David And Goliath, Get Away Jordan, He Never Sleeps, Milky White Way, Let The Words, A Quiet Place Various Arrangers : Simon and Garfunkel A Cappella Vol 2 "April Come She Will" - The King's Singers setting of the famous Simon and Garfunkel song explores the seasons through a gentle vocal tapestry of rhythm and rich harmony with a smooth lead floating above it all. "Bridge Over Troubled Water" - The phenomenal Simon & Garfunkel #1 hit from 1970 in a powerful a cappella setting! From the wistful opening phrases, this iconic song builds to a full-voiced forte, alternating between rich homophonic choral textures and solo melodies with vocal accompaniment sections, before its quiet and gentle closing tones. "Mrs. Robinson" - Hailed as one of the most underrated guitar players on the planet, Paul Simon and his writing/singing partner Art Garfunkel were tasked with creating the soundtrack to 1967's coming-of-age film The Graduate. Vocal percussion, sensitive guitar licks, and the duo's signature harmony all coalesce in this stunning a cappella arrangement from Philip Lawson! Songlist: April Come She Will, Bridge Over Troubled Water, Mrs. Robinson Various Arrangers : Musicals This a cappella ballad version of "If I Only Had A Brain" was inspired by Harry Connick, Jr.'s vocal/piano treatment of the hit from The Wizard of Oz. Tight voicings and substitute harmonies make this ideal for jazz concert/festival programming. The rubato styling provides a strong musical showcase for the full choir. This spirited, a cappella, medium swing arrangement of the old silver screen classic, "Singin' In The Rain," will challenge your singers and delight your audiences. An interesting reharmonization and clever scat section provide a wonderful contrast to the delightful melody. It is high energy, it swings and it's fun! "Over The Rainbow," the time-honored standard tune, is given a lush a cappella treatment. There is a feature solo for a soprano or tenor throughout the arrangement, and a very strong and powerful ending. In this sensitive ballad interpretation of the popular jazz waltz by Sammy Fain and Bob Hilliard, "Alice In Wonderland" ranges from unison opening to lush six-part harmony and features a tenor solo. One of the most popular charts. Songlist: Alice In Wonderland, If I Only Had A Brain, Singin' In The Rain, Over The Rainbow, Alice In Wonderland Various Arrangers : Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young A Cappella Here is the 1970 pop hit by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young "Teach Your Children" in an a cappella setting that is fresh and unique! Rhythmically free and expansive, the melody harmonized in triads is juxtaposed against long accompanying vocal lines to highlight the powerful message inherent in the text. The Crosby, Stills and Nash song from their debut 1969 album "Helplessly Hoping" translates perfectly to the signature vocal style of the King's Singers. "After The Gold Rush" is the haunting song by Neil Young in a richly expressive a cappella setting. Audiences love these pop classics and great for the parents to sing along with. Songlist: Helplessly Hoping, After The Gold Rush, Teach Your Children |
