When we think of songs connected with the sea, our thoughts are likely to turn to sea shanties, and indeed, shanties are well represented in this collection. However, there are plenty of traditional folk songs where the sea forms the backdrop of the story. Songs from England, Scotland, the Bahamas, the United States, and Brazil all contribute to this compilation. The shanties were work songs once commonly sung on board large merchant sailing vessels and associated with the hard labor of setting sails, raising the anchor, etc., invariably requiring coordinated effort. In their 19th-century heyday, shanties were sung only in work-based contexts and were never designed for entertainment. The switch to steam-powered ships and the use of machinery for shipboard tasks meant that shanties gradually ceased to serve a practical function. However, recordings by veteran sailors and commercial artists have ensured the continuing popularity of the art form. This choral edition includes the full score (choral parts with piano accompaniment) along with pages with just the vocal parts that are reproducible for your choir. A budget-stretcher for tenor-bass choirs!

All Things Bright and Beautiful

Unison/Two-Part Book

Marianus Konigsperger, who worked as a lay brother in the Benedictine monastery of Prufening, composed this "rural Mass" in F major to be a melodically memorable and easily singable Latin Mass for smaller church choirs. Individual passages in the soprano and bass, which can also be sung as solos, provide variety and also make a performance with a very small setting possible. This is a well-composed little Mass with simple means that can complement every church service, even today.

Missa Ruralis, Op. 6, No. 3

SAB Choral Score

Marked by exceptionally rich and powerfully expressive melody and harmony, this Latin Mass radiates joy, encourages solemnity, assists in lamentation, moves in contemplation, speaks directly to human emotions, and reflects faith, trust, hope, and a zest for life. The easy-to-perform organ or piano accompaniment, which is optional, and mostly colla parte, provides support for the vocal parts and lends the Mass an added festive splendor. Fitting for church and community choirs alike.

Missa anima integra

SATB Choral Score w/ opt. Piano or Organ

Though this arrangement begins rather unassumingly, after a couple of jazzlike chords the journey to a cappella pop begins. Rhythmically playful and radiant, this carol includes flowing quarter-note runs, beatboxing, and pop inflections. Sing this arrangement in a traditional mixed-choir voicing or with altos singing the tenor part. An a cappella expression of joy!

Joy to the World

SATB Octavo or SAAB

Some of the most popular pastoral movements – such as those by Corelli, Manfredini, and Locatelli – are wed to Christmas poems by Baroque poets in this collection of sensitive, accessible arrangements. The underlying lyrics, subtly based on the music, come with a singable English translation. The organ accompaniment (ad lib), mostly colla parte, provides support for the vocal parts and lends an added celebratory splendor. A great enrichment for Christmas concerts, services, and festive occasions!

Baroque Christmas Concertos

SATB Choral Score

Gently rocking, this arrangement of the well-known carol begins in the upper voices and then continues in the lower voices. The song begins quite traditionally until Carol of the Bells slips in and the arrangement evolves into a jazzy pop song that can readily be accompanied by beatboxing. A fun rendition of a beloved Christmas classic!

What Child Is This?

SAATB Octavo

Lyrics that speak of the dreams, wishes, and desires of young and old alike during the Christmas season are given an original melody and tight harmonies in this warm and contemporary a cappella setting. Beautiful and heartfelt, this piece is a true present for singers and audience members alike!

Magic Is the Christmas Day

The Venetian-born Antonio Caldara (1670-1736) worked under Johann Joseph Fux between 1716 and 1736 as deputy court music director of the Vienna Hofmusikkapelle (Court Music Orchestra). An incredible 3400 compositions were penned by him, including about 150 Mass settings. Edited here for the first time, the Mass in F Major for four-part mixed SATB choir, two violins and basso continuo from the collection of the Dresden Chapel Royal shows Caldara’s great popularity far beyond national borders. Indeed, this Mass impresses through its successful synthesis of traditional contrapuntal style and typical affects of that time. The editor, Klaus Winkler, has furnished a setting for mixed choir and organ/piano and has thus made the Mass accessible for smaller congregations as well.
