Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers #6826357. Published by Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers (A0.1071347). This is the downloadable audio file of the Partita on O Sacred Head, Now Wounded for String Quartet by Martin Dicke. A full score and set of parts are also available (S0.1195113). Based on the tune HERZLICH TUT MICH VERLANGEN by Renaissance composer Hans Leo Hassler (1564-1612), this partita consists of six movements. Chorale settings frame inner movements that employ doleful ostinatos, a quasi-canon, and a bicinium that turns into a trio at the cadences. With anguished and unconventional harmonies, the work begins fortissimo on a second inversion of an F major seventh chord and ends pianissimo eight minutes later on an A major chord. Originally composed for organ, this partita works well for strings and is particularly suited for Lent, Holy Week, or communion services. A compatible edition is available for Woodwind Quintet.

Here is a compelling setting of Martin Luther’s hymn A Mighty Fortress Is Our God (EIN FESTE BURG) by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1750). Originally composed for organ, it has been arranged for String Quartet or String Ensemble with optional keyboard. Two harmonizations of the isometric version of the hymn are also provided. The first is a standard harmonization found in many hymnals. The second is based on the concluding Chorale of Cantata 80 by Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750). Including the music of both Bach and Pachelbel, this arrangement serves as an excellent introduction to the music of the Baroque era and the contributions of great Lutheran composers. It also provides opportunities to discuss the time of the Reformation. For worship the arrangement can be played alone or it can be used to accompany congregational singing. Additional arrangements are available for Brass, Woodwind Quintet, and Concert Band. For more music and information, visit www.jubalslyre.com/music.

It may be performed alone or with a choir. The choral editions are published in either English or Latin. They are the first of Three Motets on Latin Christmas Hymns. The other motets in this series are settings of Of the Father’s Love Begotten (CORDE NATUS EX PARENTIS) and O Come, All Ye Faithful (ADESTE FIDELIS), which are also available in English or Latin.

Baroque,Classical,Lent,Religious,Sacred. 20 pages. Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers #6362013. Published by Jubal's Lyre Music Publishers (A0.918898). This beautiful and moving setting by Johann Pachelbel of the hymn Lamb of God, Pure and Holy (O LAMM GOTTES, UNSCHULDIG) is arranged here for String Quartet or String Ensemble with optional keyboard. Originally composed for organ, this work lends itself well to strings and provides an opportunity for string players to experience and enjoy some of Pachelbel's other music besides the Canon in D. In a secular setting, this work is an excellent introduction into Pachelbel’s organ works which were well-known by Johann Sebastian Bach and likely influenced his own compositions to some degree. In a worship setting, this arrangement is particularly suitable for the Lenten Season, Holy Week, or any communion service. This arrangement is transposed up a whole step from the original. Arrangements for Brass Quartet and Woodwind Quintet are also available, although in the original key. For more music and information, visit www.jubalslyre.com/music.
