Theodore Presser Co

In a new setting of Bouzignac's Noe! Pastores, Somers draws inspiration from the compositional styles of Bach and attention to location from Gabrieli. This three-part antiphonal motet is written for three choral groups, each placed in a different location in the church. During the initial performance, the narrator/Evangelist (SSTT) was in one transept balcony, Gabriel (AABB) in the opposite transept balcony, and the shepherds (SATB) below by the altar. Handbells and organ complete the setting.

Noe! Pastores, Cantate Domino

GIA Publications

Few know Johannes Brahms' A German Requiem as well as Robert Shaw, who performed the work over a hundred times, including on two acclaimed recordings. This scholarly edition includes Shaw's English translation, the original German text, and Shaw's own performance and diction markings informed by the countless hours he spent studying and performing the work. Wikan's edition is a thorough, clean, and scholarly score that is equally suited for performances in English or German and, most importantly, is based on extensive research of and experience with Shaw's methods.

A German Requiem, Op. 45

SATB Vocal Score

Walton Music

The text for Dreamweaver is based on parts of the well-known Norwegian medieval folk poem, Draumkvedet, an epic ballad that has a lot in common with Dante's The Divine Comedy. The protagonist, Olav Asteson, falls asleep on Christmas Eve and sleeps for thirteen days. He wakes up and rides to church to describe his dreams to the congregation about his brave, beautiful, terrifying, and ultimately redeeming journey through the afterlife. For this composition, the poem has been adapted into a playful interpretation in English penned by Charles Anthony Silvestri. Seven movements, for mixed chorus, soprano soloist, piano, and string orchestra 8/6/4/4/2.

Dreamweaver

Boosey & Hawkes, Inc

Sweeping and cinematic in scope, this multi-movement work serves as both a tribute to the birds that once filled our skies and a warning about our own tenuous existence on the planet. The compositional vocabulary, like the poems it draws on, is rooted in the rich artistic heritage of the 19th century, embracing beauty and pain in equal measure. Advanced ensembles will relish the opportunity to explore the subtleties that fill the skies of this musical reflection.

Messiah 1741

SATB P/V Score Softcover Version

Peer Music Classical

When this magnificent choral work made its debut in 1997, it was immediately recorded by the Los Angeles Master Chorale and received a Grammy nomination. Since then, it has earned a place in the choral repertoire as one of the most significant musical statements of the 20th century. The a cappella movement O Nata Lux is a pristine example of Lauridsen's compositional style, and the combined effect of Lauridsen's soaring melodies and clustered harmonic textures is truly ethereal. A work of uncompromising beauty for the accomplished choir.

Carmina Burana

Gentry Publications

Honoring the lives and legacies of enslaved people from 1619 to 1865 as well as contemporary Black martyrs who sacrificed for equality and freedom, this powerful choral and orchestral multimovement work is a strong statement of the resilience and complexity of Black American history. Blending idiomatic Black musical genres with Western European composition styles, it creates a unique and profound musical journey in 13 movements that traces the Black experience from West Africa through the Middle Passage, slavery, and sharecropping in the South to the civil rights movement and today's ongoing fight against racism and injustice. It features soprano and tenor soloists, a rapper, and a narrator along with the choir and full orchestra supplemented with African percussion. The libretto incorporates narratives from enslaved people, sharecroppers, and contemporary activists, offering an aesthetic experience that both commemorates and challenges.

Requiem for Colour

SATB Choral Score divisi

A  madrigal‑inspired fever dream of imagination, risk, and the human desire to fly, melding Renaissance musical language with modern storytelling. Created with poet and historian Charles Anthony Silvestri and premiered at the 2001 ACDA National Conference, the work draws on Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, writings, and relentless curiosity, unfolding like a cinematic narrative for choir.

Leonardo Dreams of His Flying Machine

SSATB Choral Score

Imprint Publisher

Millions of musicians have been thrilled by performances of this exceptional masterwork. However, you may be surprised to find out that the edition that we had all performed years ago was far from what Faure originally conceived. After completing considerable research into the original composition and into Faure's writings about the work, John Rutter created this edition which has eclipsed all others as the standard of performance for this masterpiece.

Durand S.A. Editions Musicales

Drawing heavily on the plainsong chant tradition, Durufle composed his crowning work in 1947 for mixed chorus, with mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists.  He included three accompaniment options, ranging from organ alone to full orchestra.  It is a meditative work that is equally compelling on the concert stage or in the church sanctuary.

Requiem Opus 9

Hinshaw Music, Inc.

A significant setting of the Requiem, scored for mixed choir and orchestra with solos for boy soprano (mezzo-soprano) and tenor. Combining both liturgical and non-liturgical texts, this powerful five-movement work projects a wide range of meaningful expression, from a biting essay on the vanity and pain of existence, to a plea for mercy, and finally a celebration of eternal light. Full orchestra and chamber orchestra accompaniments are available on rental from the publisher. Movements: Introit - Kyrie; Vanitas Vanitatum; Agnus Dei; Sanctus and Lux Aeterna.

Requiem for the Living

For the truly young at heart, there is not another work like this available! In a hip, gospel style, the Mass is presented for SATB choir, various solos, and accompaniment for piano, bass and drums. Now available with CD or full orchestral accompaniment, this challenging, creative work will energize your school, church or community choir!

Gospel Mass

This spiritually-uplifting extended work, neither expressly sacred nor secular, uses ancient texts even though the titles of the movements are in English: I. The Spheres (Kyrie); II. Sunrise (Gloria); III. The City (Credo); IV. Identity &amp; The Ground (Sanctus). The four movements develop from a sense of the cosmos to an affirmation of the earth, from the echo of The Spheres in the first movement to the final reassuring themes of Identity &amp; The Ground. A beautiful work for advanced high school choirs and beyond.
