NEW IN 2016 Slave Life and the Power of Spirituals

8 Choral: Recent Releases

In Their Own Words

9 Choral Favorites: Lent & Easter

Eileen Guenther This groundbreaking study of slavery and spirituals is the first to place the unique voices of an enslaved people squarely within the context of their daily lives.

Dr. Guenther’s deeply researched account weaves a succinct history of “America’s original sin” into an examination of the role of singing and religion in slave life and directly correlates slave testimonies—in their own words—to the themes of Spirituals. In addition to surveying the musical styles, performance practices, and melodic and rhythmic characteristics of spirituals, In Their Own Words includes a biblical concordance to 100 of the spirituals most frequently sung.

SATB, Children’s or Treble Choir, and Organ, with opt. Congregation, Brass Quartet, and Timpani A brilliant concertato or hymn-anthem on this great hymn using the LOBE DEN HERREN tune.

Solo, SATB, Cello or Saxophone, and Handbells or Handchimes After an emotive opening by the solo cello, the choir enters with rich chords against an original chant melody sung by a soloist. Handbells or handchimes then enter with random pitches that add to the mysterious and meditative nature of this piece. The choir takes the text, in time, and with a gentle lilt, with the cello adding elaborative phrases. A soprano descant soars above all for a rapturous climax on “Alleluia” before the texture dissipates to a sublime ending.

Philip M. Young

SATB a cappella, with opt. Organ An elegant setting of this well-known and much-beloved text. The calmly sweeping melodies add warmth and vibrancy to the text’s heartening message. Particularly appropriate for funerals and times of tribulation.

SATB and Organ This Eucharistic service was written for the dedication of the Nave of St. Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast Ireland. The Kyrie features long flowing lines with each part entering independently from each other creating a beautiful layering effect. The Gloria begins with a unison statement of “Glory to God in the Highest,” which quickly splits into separate parts. An intricate organ sixteenth note pattern introduces the Sanctus beginning with a solo statement by the treble voices. The service concludes with a peaceful and beautiful Benedictus.

Fanfare, Reflection, and Dance Alfred V. Fedak Commissioned by the Ann Arbor Chapter of the American Guild of Organists in honor of Dr. Marilyn Mason, this is a work full of personality and flair. The “fanfare” of the first movement is announced by pedal sixteenth notes and answered by the manuals. The middle movement features a cantabile melody which circulates among the swell, great and pedal divisions. The final movement features changing meters which build to an energetic finish. This is a great recital piece for yourself or a wonderful teaching piece for that star student, and is as satisfying as it is challenging.

Lenten Postludes for Organ Kristina Langlois; Michael Burkhardt; Wilbur Held; David Schelat; Charles Callahan; James Biery; Robert A.Hobby; Mark Jones; Richard Peek; David M. Cherwien The selection of postludes during the Lenten season is always a challenging one, particularly when searching for hymn-based works.

This compilation of ten arrangements by ten arrangers seeks to alleviate this challenge for the organist. The collection is eclectic in its selection of hymn tunes, textures, and general styles, while retaining the plaintive and reflective elements of Lent. Dynamic contrasts are also present with some beginning intimately and building to a strong finish, others are grandiose throughout. Tunes include: AUS TIEFER NOT; DEO GRACIAS (AGINCOURT HYMN); JERUSALEM; JESUS, MEINE ZUVERSICHT; KINGSFOLD; LEONI (YIGDAL); RATHBUN; ROCKINGHAM OLD (ROCKINGHAM); WEM IN LEIDENSTAGEN; WHEN JESUS WEPT.

The results will be well worth it. The collection contains a rousing prelude on Truro; a toccata on EASTER HYMN; two variants on O FILII ET FILIAE; trumpet tune on DIADEMATA; and a quieter trio on VRUECHTEN. Matthew Corl writes in an ebullient style that is both fun to play and fun to hear.

Medium

David Schelat always has a fresh approach (stylistically, rhythmically, or harmonically) to the tunes he uses, and this collection is no exception. EASTER HYMN is set to a lilting waltz, LANCASHIRE as an imitative trio, GAUDEAMUS PARITER as a lively dance, GELOBT SEI GOTT as a fugal setting with a cantus firmus in the pedal, and CHRIST IST ERSTANDEN as a baroque slow movement with a solo for cornet registration. Interesting and rewarding to play and hear.
