Warlock, P Come To Bethlehem Satb

Come To Bethlehem is a Christmas carol by Dom Gregory Murray . It takes its melody from Capriol Suite , and is scored for SATB choir, with a Piano reduction for rehearsal purposes. Capriol Suite is a set of six dances in the Renaissance style. They form the most famous work of the English composer Peter Warlock (1894-1930), who also achieved fame for his scandalous lifestyle. Each dance is short, and draws inspiration from the tunes found in a 1589 dance manual. Warlock was an ardent admirer of Delius throughout his career, and his harmonic style is very similar. The whole suite was written over a single weekend in October 1926.

Terry, R Sailor Shanties Ttbb

Sir Richard Runciman Terry (1865-1938) was a British organist, musicologist and editor, often known as simply R. R. Terry . He was the first Director of Music at Westminster Cathedral, where he also lead a great revival in English Renaissance music, especially the Latin works of composers like Tallis, Byrd and Morley. While Terry is best remembered for his contribution to Tudor Church music, he also did much to preserve the shanty tunes that died out as the age of the sailing ship came to an end. His two volumes of The Shanty Book have been considered the prime musicological work on the subject for generations. In Sailor Shanties , these tunes have been arranged for TTBB chorus with solo Voice and Piano accompaniment.

Edeson To Daffodils Satb

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs: The Ballad Of Semmerwater (Voice/Piano)

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs was a prolific and versatile English composer of the 20th century. Gibbs is best known for his output of songs, but he also wrote a considerable amount of music for the amateur choirs that he conducted. His reputation as a song-writer largely lies in his natural gift for text setting – he insisted on giving priority to the words over the music and had very clear musical ideas on what a song should be. These principles prevailed when he set William Watson’s poem about a splendid city which stood by a lake and which vanished without trace to music. The Ballad Of Semmerwater is arranged here for Voice with Piano accompaniment.

Giacomo Meyerbeer: March Of Progress (SATB)

The March Of Progress is a song for SATB choir with Piano accompaniment. First published in 1902, the words were written by A. J. Foxwell , and set to an earlier tune by Giacomo Meyerbeer . Meyerbeer (1791-1864) was a German-Jewish composer and pianist. He is best remembered for his Operas, both in Germany and in France, and he undoubtedly did much for continental music during his lifetime. He has been somewhat overlooked in the UK and other English speaking countries, perhaps unfairly, but has maintained a world-wide fan base in many different countries.

Joseph Barnby: To Daffodils (SATB)

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs: Cherry Tree (Voice/Piano)

Cecil Armstrong Gibbs was a prolific and versatile English composer of the 20th century. Gibbs is best known for his output of songs, but he also wrote a considerable amount of music for the amateur choirs that he conducted. His reputation as a song-writer largely lies in his natural gift for text setting – he insisted on giving priority to the words over the music and had very clear musical ideas on what a song should be. These principles prevailed when writing The Cherry Tree in 1949 – the Voice is clearly put to the foreground, with the Piano only supporting the singer in the background, so a confident and capable performance is needed from the soloist. Words by Margaret Rose. Performance time approximately 3 minutes.

Menelssohn I Would That My Love 2pt

I Would That My Love (Op.63 No.1) is a popular song by Mendelssohn , published in 1845 as the first in a collection of six duets for upper Voice with Piano accompaniment. It has been translated here into English. The Romantic composer Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy (1809-1847) has been highly regarded in Britain from the time of his first visit in 1829. He was a favourite of Queen Victoria, and also made several trips to Scotland, inspiring some of his best-known and most evocative works. He is also remembered for his choral works, such as the ever-popular Hear My Prayer .

Holst, G Matthew, Mark, Luke And John Satb/Piano

Matthew, Mark, Luke And John is a West Country folk song, arranged for SATB chorus by Gustav Holst . It was published as part of a collection of six such arrangements in 1916, forming the composer's opus 36b. The work was dedicated to W. G. Wittaker (1876-1944), a highly respected conductor, pedagogue, and composer. Gustav Holst (1874-1934) was an English composer and teacher. Having studied under Stanford and Parry, he became a close friend of Vaughan Williams – they would often critique each other’s work – and influenced composers such as Tippet and Britten. He is best remembered for his Planets suite.

Strauss The Blue Danube Waltz Satb Tonic Solfa

Johann Strauss the Younger (1825 - 1899) was a Viennese composer, best known for his operettas and dance music, especially his waltzes, polkas, and quadrilles. By the time his father died in 1849, he was already well-established as a renowned composer in his own right. His most famous work is probably the Blue Danube Waltz (Op. 314), written in 1866, which has become famous all over the world, with many adaptions and arrangements. The Blue Danube Waltz has been arranged for SATB choir by John Bateson, set to words by Florence Hoare. The vocal score is presented here in Tonic Sol-fa Notation.

Warlock, P Corpus Christi Satb/Piano+sop/Ten Solos

Corpus Christi is an anonymous Middle English Carol, first written down c.1500. It was re-worked as a carol for Soprano and Tenor Soloists with SATB chorus by Peter Walock (1894-1930) in 1919. It was dedicated to Thomas Strong , later Bishop of Oxford, who had been Dean of Christ Church College during Warlock's brief time studying there, and who is better known for encouraging William Walton's musical career.  While he is best remembered for his scandalous lifestyle and his large-scale Capriol Suite , the Corpus Christi carol ranks alongside Bethlehem Down as one of Warlock's most sensitive and beautiful creations.

Rees-davies, I Transposition At The Keyboard

Ieuan Rees-Davies (1894-1967) was a Welsh musician, lecturer and pedagogue, who studied at the Royal Academy of Music before becoming a school teacher and examiner. He is credited with doing much to improving the state of musical education in schools, instituting several programmes of training for music teachers, and publishing several articles. Transposition at the Keyboard was published in 1933, and was the first of several books he wrote on musical theory and music teaching. He also wrote several part songs; he is often best remembered for the song Close Thine Eyes , written for a Welsh Male Voice Choir.
