Leo Nestor : Four Part Songs From The Highlands

Review: "These settings were commissioned by my alma mater California State University, Hayward, a place of happy memory and abiding affection and ties. How privileged I was to hear the premiere performance of the Chamber Singers and Dr. Roberta Brokaw, flute, conducted by Dr. David Stein on 15 March 1998. Three of the settings are of pre-existing tunes; O, My Luve Is Like a Red, Red Rose is originally composed. Similarly, two texts are from the tradition, and two sing the poetry of Robert Burns."Singers and conductors of these works are encouraged to render the texts of these love songs with an ear to an authentic Scots accent.

Songlist: Ca' the Yowes, O My Love Is Like A Red, Red Rose, Will Ye Go, Lassie Go?, Fareweel tae Tarwathie

Songlist: There was a little girl, Little Boy Blue, Try, try, again

Libby Larsen : Western Songs

Review: There are three songs making up this cycle entitled 'Western Songs' - Buffalo Gals, Green Grow the Lilacs, and Ol'Chisholm Trail.

Lots of fun!

Lionel Dakers / John Scott (Edited by) : Ash Wednesday to Easter for Choirs

Review: This collection aims to provide a comprehensive survey of a highly significant part of the Christian Year: Ash Wednesday and Lent, Passiontide, Palm Sunday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Easter. Its contents span all musical periods of what is a marvellously rich area of church music and it contains much that is not widely available elsewhere under one cover. Ash Wednesday to Easter for Choirs includes a number of less familiar works together with new or recent arrangements of well-known tunes, such as Philip Ledger's 'This joyful Eastertide', Simon Lindley's 'Now the green blade riseth', and Bob Chilcott's setting of 'Were you there?'. Some of the anthems, for example Richard Shephard's 'Sing, my tongue' and Grayston Ives' 'Ride on', have been newly commissioned specifically for this collection, thus filling certain gaps. Wherever possible new practical performing editions of 16th-century repertoire have been prepared, reflecting current scholarship and including an English singing translation and, where, the original had none, a dynamic scheme. Such dynamics are the editors' suggestions only and may be freely ignored or adapted. Note values have in some instances been halved. Unaccompanied items include keyboard reductions for rehearsal.

Mack Wilberg : The Prodigal

Review: With a text by David Warner on the parable of The Prodigal Son from St Luke's Gospel, this dramatic choral work brings to life the ancient, universal story of reconciliation and belonging. The closely woven text and music feature an expansive range of expression-plaintive, exuberant, and resolute-before concluding with a transcendent coda that gives way to reverberating 'Amen's. With echoes of some of the minimalist elements of Wilberg's Requiem, as well as Arvo Part, Henryk Gorecki, and John Tavener, the work is scored for mixed voices without soloists, allowing the choir to function like a Greek chorus-sometimes narrating, sometimes participating in the action, sometimes reflecting on it-all underpinned by organ, or orchestra, or chamber ensemble.

Matthew Harris : Shakespeare Songs, Book 7

Review: This is the latest - and 7th - in an a cappella series going back three decades in which the texts are taken from Shakespeare's plays. Come Unto These Yellow Sands is a gentle invitation to the listener, at least until the animals take over.

Surrounded by comedy and tragedy, Honour, Riches, Marriage-Blessing is the idyllic center of the set. O Sweet Oliver, with its dueling boy and girl choirs, leads into Willow, Willow, where the poem's word repetitions inspire the driving rhythm.
