[ENG]

Camiña Don Sancho is a so-called border romancillo, from Galicia (Spain), popularized in the 14th century through minstrels, and which constitute poetic documents of the history and intrahistory of two opposing communities (Christian and Muslim). It talks about more or less true facts and famous historical figures belonging to the common history of León and Galicia (former independent kingdoms, currently Spanish autonomous communities).

In it, once again, the figure of King Don Sancho appears linked to the myth of the young captive in the Iberian peninsular Muslim territory, and whom he is preparing to liberate. The original melody is built in the Phrygian mode, one of the medieval musical modes, on which this polyphonic version is also made, finally taking it to the point of the so-called gypsy and Arabic scales; hence its title: Frixia (in Galician languaje)

[ESP]

Camiña Don Sancho es un romancillo de los llamados fronterizos, popularizados en el S. XIV a través de los juglares, y que constituyen documentos poéticos de la historia e intrahistoria de dos comunidades enfrentadas (la cristiana y la musulmana). Habla de hechos más o menos verídicos y de personajes pertenecientes a la historia común de León y Galicia.

En él, una vez más, aparece la figura del Rey Don Sancho ligada al mito de la joven cautiva en el territorio musulmán peninsular, y a quien él se dispone a liberar.

La melodía original está construida en modo frigio, uno de los modos musicales medievales, sobre el que está realizada también esta versión polifónica, llevándola finalmente al punto de las llamadas escalas gitana y arábiga; de ahí su título.

Tanabata, has been celebrated for hundreds of years in Japan on July 7th, the one day a year that the two lovers in the famous Tanabata myth can cross the Milky Way to meet.

Below is the lyric translation;

The bamboo leaves rustle,
And sway under the eaves.
The stars twinkle
Like gold and silver grains of sand.

The five-color paper strips
I have written them.
The stars twinkle,
Watching from above.

This vivid, exciting treble piece sets an excerpt from poetry by the celebrated Nikita Gill. Harp joins treble voices to crystallize a girl’s creation myth in which her bones, feet, fingers, and arms conjure her very own dancing, swirling universe. It includes a limited, accessible aleatoric section, and a couple of short vocal solos. Perfect for a treble choir with mostly lower voices.

Trebled Seas combines three popular 19th-century sea shanties into an epic voyage on the high seas. Cape Cod Girls, originating from North America, is traditionally thought of as a short-drag shanty used in activities such as raising sails. Its lyrics vary from version to version between “heave�, “haul�, and “bound� away, depending on the physical activity required. Jolly Sailor Bold first appears in a collection of sailing songs out of London, but has many similarities to the Irish ballad The Banks of Claudy. While not used as a working song, its minor tonality and association to sailing folklore makes for an interesting middle point along the journey. This setting contains a newly written verse warning of the dangers of sirens, mythical creatures known to sing to lure sailors to their doom. Lastly, Leave Her, Johnny is a pump shanty, usually one of the last activities done as a ship docks. In these types of pieces, sailors sing to complain about the rough conditions aboard, knowing they are soon to leave and will face no punishment. 

While sea shanties have been popular repertoire for tenor/bass ensembles, there has been a distinct lack of arranging for treble choirs. Historical research is discovering more and more evidence that while piracy and sailing was male-dominated, female captains like Anne Bonny, Mary Read, Zheng Yi Sao and others made their mark on the high seas. This piece is dedicated to the women that his-tory has forgotten.

By Herbert Hughes (Music) and Joseph Campbell (Lyrics). By Traditional. Arranged by Alejandro Ignacio Luiso. Celtic,Chamber,Folk,Irish,Romantic Period,Traditional. Octavo. 13 pages. Alejandro Luiso #698914. Published by Alejandro Luiso (A0.1094851).

This is the perfect arrangement for any choir looking to add some Celtic flavour to their repertoire. The lyrics of this traditional lullaby weave many mythological characters and places from Ireland, creating a rich and colorful landscape to go along with the soothing melody. Each part is very easy to learn and the piano adds a rich texture to the voices, making it an ideal piece for amateur choirs and small ensembles with few male voices (there's a only baritone line).
