These colourful pieces [Choral Dances] form a masque in the opera which was performed for Queen Elizabeth I (Gloriana) on her visit to Norwich and performed by local people for her entertainment and in loyal homage. Each short scena represents a different group: Time, Concord, country girls, (S/A) young rustics and fishermen (T/B) and a finale in which all pay homage to their Queen. In the version for tenor solo with harp and chorus these movements are prefaced and linked by the soloist with harp who sets the scene for each movement and, in the final homage, joins the choir by adding a fifth vocal line (the harp also joins this movement) which transforms the piece.
These pieces make an ideal concert item and are not very difficult. They do however need reasonably agile sopranos/altos for the Country Girls movement, and a good balanced team of two tenors and two basses for the Rustics and Fishermen. As with many of Britten's choral works there is a lovely balance of moods between the movements which helps to make a satisfying whole. The Final Dance of Homage is particularly moving with its imitative lines moving between voice-parts and building to an impassioned climax before subsiding to a quiet ending.
Duration [Choral Dances, complete]: SATB=9; Tenor/SATB=11 minutes

This traditional Irish Carol possesses qualities of folk-like melodic turns of phrase that suggest modal qualities. The tune has an easy, flowing grace marked by elegant lyricism. This arrangement compliments the nature of the tune with a lyric and tuneful obligato oboe together with a sweeping piano accompaniment, and choral textures that take advantage of both male and female timbres.

As part song for the New Year this work offers an attractive alternative to the Benjamin Britten carol which uses the same traditional words ('Here we bring new water from the well so clear'). Howells's joyful setting is very approachable, being mostly in unison with some straightforward two-part sections.

Steve Anderson has penned a marvelous a cappella choral in traditional Southern gospel style with some “not-so-traditional” harmonies. This jubilant Christmas piece is a buoyant and exuberant announcement of Christ's birth. Picture the shepherds running back as fast as they can to tell everyone what they had seen and heard that glorious night. Good News!

As the opening song in this landmark musical by Richard Rogers and Oscar Hammerstein, the stage is set. Curly is brimming with optimism and the music of Rogers' captures this emotion perfectly. This new arrangement is in the style of the Pentatonix from Billy Porter's The Soul of Richard Rogers. Although totally different in style from the original, it is no less upbeat and optimistic.
