After successfully winning a substantial prize in a lottery run by Ecclesiastical Insurance, we have purchased Todd: Jazz Missa brevis, Goodall: The Lord is my shepherd and added copies to our set of Vierne: Messe solennelle.
With two separate, generous grants from Finzi Friends, we have been able to increase our stocks of music by Gerald Finzi. We have purchased a set of Lo, the full, final sacrifice – a festival anthem and one of Finzi’s longer choral pieces. We have also added extra copies to our existing sets of God is gone up, For St. Cecilia and Intimations of immortality. Thank you to Finzi Friends for making this possible.
A substantial donation from Mr. T. Gentleman enabled us to purchase a set of Dvorak Mass in D vocal scores (New Novello edition).
Some of our other additions of vocal scores and orchestral parts include: Sunrise mass: (Gjeilo): and vocal scores of the following: Eternal light (Goodall), Adiemus (Jenkins), Les Chansons de roses & O nata lux (Lauridsen), Missa Brevis (MacMillan), Shipping forecast (McDowall), Birthday madrigals, Feel the spirit & Sprig of thyme (Rutter), Mass in blue (Todd), The Collection (Whitacre), In the mood (ed. Blackwell) and Les miserables medley (Schoenberg)…as well as songs by Adele and Leonard Cohen. These additions to our stock has all been made possible with a grant from the Radcliffe Trust for which we are very grateful.
We hold a collection of music suitable for performance with community choirs. Please contact us by e-mail for advice and a list of song suggestions for your choir.
