English Country Garden For SSA Chorus And Piano

‘How many insects find their home in an English country garden?’ asks the second verse of this tongue-in-cheek arrangement of the familiar, traditional English Country Garden, before moving on to the birds that ‘drive you right up the wall’ and the weeds ‘that always defeat you’.Contemporary English composer Herbert Chappell has been an active free-lance writer of music since the 1950’s, since when he has written and conducted hundreds of works that range from advertising jingles and tv and film scores to beloved works for young and amateur musicians and much in between. English Country Garden cleverly modulates upwards at each verse, adding to the fun and ending with a coda full of exasperation and humour.

John McCabe: Songs Of The Garden

Written for SATB soloists, with SATB chorus, Brass Quintet and Organ, this setting was inspired by the illustrations of 18th Century Japanese artist Utamaro. McCabe has selected a group of texts that are chosen to express the period of spring to autumn from the view of the Garden and it's inhabitants, including the birds, insects, plants and animals. The texts are taken from sources as diverse as John Clare, William Blake and Walt Whitman. The set was written in 2003/04 and commissioned by The John Armitage Memorial Trust.

This, the first of Purcell's Operas for the professional stage, is edited in Vocal Score format by Margaret Laurie. The first performance of this work was produced by Betterton, with great success, at the Dorset Garden Theatre in June 1690. The text was an adaption, almost certainly by Betterton himself, of Flethcer and Massinger's play, 'The Prophetess'.

G.F. Handel: Samson (Vocal Score)

Samson, an oratorio for soloists, mixed chorus and orchestra by George Frideric Handel, libretto by Newburgh Hamilton after Milton?s Samson Agonistes. Edited by Donald Burrows. This latest addition to the Novello Handel Edition is the first complete, modern edition of the composer?s longest oratorio, prepared after examination of all known contemporary sources, both music and word-books. The publication embodies the complete text known to have been performed at the Covent Garden premiere in 1743, as well as identifying the later shorter versions and additions performed regularly by Handel, and an Appendix of all further variants created by him and performed during his lifetime. It is thus a comprehensive and flexible edition for between four and eight soloists, with an abundance of choral writing and some of Handel?s most sublime writing for voices.Includes an historical preface, extensive notes on the performance of the different versions and useful practical notes on the interpretation of Handel.

Beethoven: Mount Of Olives

Mount of Olives  (also referred to by the full title ‘Christ on the Mount of Olives’), Op. 85, is an oratorio by  Ludwig van Beethoven  portraying the emotional turmoil of Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane prior to his crucifixion. The libretto in German is by the poet Franz Xaver Huber. It was first performed on April 5, 1803 at the Theater an der Wien in Vienna; in 1811, it was revised by  Beethoven  for publication by Breitkopf & Härtel. Mount of Olives  is a dramatic oratorio rather than a religious choral Mass or a dramatic opera, and is considered a much more humanistic portrayal of the Christ passion than other settings, such as those by Bach. It concludes at the point of Jesus personally accepting his fate, placing the emphasis on his own decision rather than the later Crucifixion or Resurrection.  Novello edition for Voice. A complete performance lasts approximately 50 minutes.
