Choral Choir (SATB) - Level 5 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1027605 Composed by James Kennerley. Christian,Christmas,Contemporary,Sacred. Octavo. 30 pages. James Kennerley #2119771. Published by James Kennerley (A0.1027605). The Missa Sanctae Mariae Virginis – literally Mass of Saint Mary the Virgin – was composed for the Episcopal church of Saint Mary the Virgin, New York City, where the composer was Music Director & Organist from 2008 to 2013. The Kyrie was composed in 2016. The title makes reference to the name of the church, but also makes reference to the principal source of inspiration: two ancient plainsong melodies that accompany Marian texts (Salve regina and Ave maris stella). The Mass is composed in a vain that is influenced by the great parody Masses of Renaissance masters Palestrina, Lassus, and others. Nods are also made to the twentieth century, and particularly to the music of Herbert Howells and the Anglican tradition, and also to Jean Langlais, Olivier Messiaen, and similar French musical trends. It features a wide range of moods, from scintillating and exotic harmonies to thrilling rhythmic passages. The work is composed for 8-part choir with solo sections for additional voices from within the choir. The Mass can be performed complete as part of a church service. Likewise, any of the movements will work as independent compositions which makes them suitable for concert performance.

Piano Solo - Digital Download SKU: A0.507255 Composed by Heather Cattanach. 20th Century,Contemporary,Instructional. Score. 3 pages. Published by Heather Cattanach (A0.507255). Apus, Late Intermediate Piano Solo, is the name for the southern hemisphere constellation representing the Bird of Paradise. However, the name actually translates as “footless�, owing to the Dutch explorer’s mistaken belief that the bird had no feet. The Bird of Paradise does have feet as well as beautiful feathers. This piece is based on the octatonic scale (semi-tone, tone alternating series) which was often used by Olivier Messiaen, who (by the way) incorporated bird song into some of his compositions. This mysterious sounding piece is from “88 Constellations� a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Performance Time 2 minutes. 2 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, Repertoire, Recital, 21st Century).
