Sacred Songs, Vol. 3 of 4


Book Description

Excerpt from Sacred Songs, Vol. 3 of 4: A Standard Collection of Sacred Solos by the Best Composers; Tenor The search after novelty, too, leads often away from the true path, though it is quite true that contemporaneous composers are sending forth many excellent sacred songs. Among the mass of works which issue from the press, however, not a large percentage of good solo num bers can be found. Anthems and services are written plentifully, but these do' not fall with in the scope of the present series. The object of this collection is to furnish songs for the 8010 voice, and not only that, but to furnish them in proper keys for the four principal voices. The value of the collection has been increased by the wide variety of the schools represent ed in it. The use of English text for certain airs belonging to the service of the Roman Catholic church is justified by long-standing custom and makes these admirable works available for Protestant churches..

Catalogue of Vocal Solos and Duets Arranged in Biblical Order


Book Description

The second edition of A Catalogue of Vocal Solos and Duets Arranged in Biblical Order serves as a companion volume to A Catalogue of Choral Music Arranged in Biblical Order (Second edition, 1996, and supplement, 2001, both published by Scarecrow Press). It is a necessary tool for the church musician to coordinate music with the scripture readings and/or the sermon topic and a valuable aid to the vocal soloist seeking a work using a particular biblical text. The work serves as a working document for the church musician, soloist, or voice teacher. Titles are arranged in the same order as found in the Bible. Each entry contains title, composer, voice range/type, and publisher information. Two indexes are also included: a title index and a composer index.




An English Medieval and Renaissance Song Book


Book Description

"An elegant anthology. The specialist will not miss the quiet sophistication with which the music has been selected and prepared. Some of it is printed here for the first time, and much of it has been edited anew." "Notes" This treasury of 47 vocal works edited by Noah Greenberg, founder and former director of the New York Pro Musica Antiqua will delight all lovers of medieval and Renaissance music. Containing a wealth of both religious and secular music from the 12th to the 17th centuries, the collection covers a broad range of moods, from the hearty "Blow Thy Horne Thou Jolly Hunter" by William Cornysh to the reflective and elegiac "Cease Mine Eyes" by Thomas Morley. Of the religious works, nine were written for church services, including "Sanctus" by Henry IV and "Angus Dei" from a beautiful four-part mass by Thomas Tallis. Other religious songs in the collection come from England's rich tradition of popular religious lyric poetry, and include William Byrd's "Susanna Farye," the anonymously written "Deo Gracias Anglia" (The Agincort Carol), and Thomas Ravenscroft's "O Lord, Turne Now Away Thy Face" and "Remember O Thou Man." Approximately half of the songs are secular, some from the popular tradition and others from the courtly poets and musicians surrounding such musically inclined monarchs as Henry VIII who himself is represented in this collection with two charming songs, "With Owt Dyscorde" and "O My Hart." Among the notable composers of Tudor and Elizabethan England represented here are Orlando Gibbons, John Dowland, and Thomas Weelkes. "
