Version for double choir men's voices (ATB-ATB) This setting of the Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis (called Canticula Ursae Minoris - songs of a little bear) is based on my oratorio in which I set a chapter of Winnie the Pooh (Now we are six - The Expotition to the North Pole). The tunes are and light and playful but the complexity makes it suited to a Cathedral or Church setting. The oratorio itself (The Poohratorio, composed in 1977) has not yet been published here due to copyright on the works of A A Milne, but the melodies are entirely mine. You may be able to guess some of the characters whose leitmotifs in the oratorio are used in this setting. In particular, the lesser doxology (Glory be to the Father) makes great use the theme of Eeyore, the complaining donkey. The sound sample is performed by Matthew Curtis of choraltracks.com.

WEDDING SERIES - a set of popular songs and wedding standards that I've been arranged for years (some aren't as standard, but still). The formations are varied, from duos to orchestras with chorus. Most are mixed/flexible sextets where some instruments can be replaced and, as a result, ensembles can be completely changed. Some arrangements have abbreviated versions (excerpts) and are in several keys to adapt to a wide range of voices. These options are available in my catalog. 

AVE MARIA (Gounod) for 2 soloist and quintet - in the 1st time, the soprano sings the traditional part of the solo. In the 2nd time, the tenor sings the solo part and the soprano sings the vocalise part. Obviously, roles can be switched. The vocalise part can be singed with any consonant phoneme or bocca chiusa. 

INSTRUMENTATION: 
Score | Part 1: Fl (Ob/Cl) | Part 2: Tpt (Flugel/Cl/Asax/Tsax/Hrn) | Pno | Vln | Vc.
