Singing in the Lower Secondary SchoolThis is an essential text on an important area of the music curriculum consistently judged weak or inadequate by UK school inspectors. It covers social, physiological, musical, and pedagogical aspects of young adolescent singing, with focus on Key Stage 3 and the progression from primary school. Grounded in extensive research and authoritatively written, it uses case studies to illustrate best practice, and introduces the

principles of cambiata, a dedicated approach to the adolescent voice. Other chapters contain practical and proven advice on repertoire, technique, and the motivation of reluctant singers, boosting the confidence of teachers for whom choral work is not the main specialism.

The Miracle of the Springfor SATB and percussion (two players)

This powerfully evocative and uplifting work celebrates the pursuit, and eventual discovery, of water. Brimming with freshness and vitality, The Miracle of the Spring embraces an array of moods and styles that skilfully capture the essence of Charles Bennett’s text, from the relentless rhythmic motifs depicting the parched landscape to the flowing aleatoric fragments suggesting the gushing of the spring. The simple percussion parts

for glockenspiel, mark tree, and log drums add texture and drive to the a cappella voices and may be performed by two choir members or separate percussionists. Imbued with rich harmonies, infectious rhythms, and unforgettable melodies, this piece would be the perfect addition to any concert programme.

Bob Chilcott

Wenceslasfor mezzo-soprano and baritone soloists, SATB chorus, and piano or orchestra

The story of Good King Wenceslas on the Feast of Stephen is presented here as a vivid musical narrative, with solo parts for the characters of Wenceslas (baritone) and Page (mezzo-soprano). Chilcott sets new words by Charles Bennett to a colourful array of styles to recount their snow-bound story. The choir sets the scene before Wenceslas and Page meet in ‘Who can that be?’, and the story-telling continues in several

contrasting movements, including a touching solo ballad from Page entitled ‘Thank you’ and the strong yet reflective closing movement, ‘On St Stephen’s Night’. The full five verses of the well-known carol are skilfully interwoven throughout the work in different parts, with the final verse being sung by the audience or a semi-chorus, and the movements are punctuated by an instrumental interlude and triumphant fanfare.

This short collection presents the complete set of hymns from Chilcott’s stunning setting of the St John Passion. The five well-known hymn texts are set to new, original melodies, which are also intended for performance by the audience or congregation.

Howard Helvey

Song of Creationfor SATB unaccompanied

This paean to the divine creation of the world sets part of the Benedicite text from the US Book of Common Prayer. The four unaccompanied voice parts are used to great effect, with phrases often beginning in a strong unison before opening out into rich and colourful harmonies. Helvey highlights the words through the use of homophonic textures and changing time signatures to follow the natural stresses of the text.


Gabriel Jackson

Holy is the true lightfor SATB (with divisions) unaccompanied

Jackson’s Holy is the true light sets a text translated from the Salisbury Diurnal that emphasizes the solace of faith in times of conflict. The fluid changes in time and key signatures and effective division of voices create a strong musical impression of serenity and strength.

Gabriel Jackson

I say that we are wound with mercyfor SATB and organ

Setting a section from The Blessed Virgin Compared to the Air we Breathe by Gerard Manley Hopkins, this Marian piece opens with an extended soprano passage, underpinned by soft yet characterful organ writing. Several hallmarks of Jackson’s style are evident, including soaring, melismatic soprano lines, sonorous harmonies, and repeated organ motifs. The result is a captivating and moving work for church and concert use.


Matthew Owens

Holy Trinity Blessingfor SATB and organ

A stunning atmosphere is instantly created in this short piece by an almost ethereal organ part, featuring flourishes on flute stops, later supported by a drone-like pedal line. The choral lines are slow-moving and homophonic, allowing the text to come to the fore. These words are traditionally used on Trinity Sunday, but their general message is suitable for use throughout the year, making Owens’s setting a useful and practical addition to any church choir’s repertory.


Matthew Owens

This joyful Eastertidefor SATB and organ

A setting of the popular Easter hymn by G. R. Woodward, This joyful Eastertide is a jubilant anthem celebrating the Resurrection. With driving rhythms, a memorable melody, and effective repetitions, this anthem will be a rousing addition to Eastertide celebrations.

John Rutter

O give thanks unto the Lordfor SSA and organ

Composed in 1977, this triumphant setting of words from Psalms 136 and 67 is now published for the first time following the rediscovery of the lost manuscript. Rutter’s early style is reminiscent of Britten, making a feature of parallel harmonies and scalic runs to impressive effect—ideal to revitalise the evensong repertoire of upper-voice choirs.

John Rutter

The gift of each dayfor SATB and organ

The latest offering from this favourite choral composer, The gift of each day is a pleasantly optimistic anthem, sure to become popular with a wealth of choirs. The words by the composer capture a thankfulness for the world’s creation along with a sense of excitement and anticipation for the future to come. Rutter skilfully mirrors the varying moods of the text through harmonic shifts, melodic devices, and tempo fluctuations, and brings the music to a wonderfully calm and peaceful close.


William Walton

A Litanyfor upper voices

Off-printed from the complete William Walton Edition, this is one of three versions (the others are for SATB unaccompanied) on a text by Phineas Fletcher—‘Drop, drop slow tears’. The poignant chromatic harmonies and expressive melodic lines are a remarkably adventurous achievement for a fourteen-year-old Walton.

Mack Wilberg

Christ the Lord is risen todayfor SATB and organ or large orchestra

This arrangement of the well-loved hymn stays true to the jubilation and reverence of Easter. Wesley’s words and the eighteenth-century melody shine through in a sensitive reharmonization, and a recurring instrumental passage smoothly connects the verses. Reflecting common hymn-singing practice, the first verse is in unison, the second in four-part harmony, and the third returns to unison with a soprano descant, before closing with a suitably exultant ‘Alleluia’ and ‘Amen’.

Christ the Lord is risen today appears on the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra at Temple Square’s latest CD, He is Risen, which reached No. 1 in both the ‘Classical Albums’ and ‘Traditional Classical Albums’ US charts within two weeks of its release in April 2014.
