Setting a newly written text by Charles Bennett, Five days that changed the world takes singers on a journey through five historical events: the invention of printing, the abolition of slavery, the fi...

This anthem sets the Oculi omnium gradual to still, reflective music. Including sections of plainchant alongside richer textures and close harmonics, it is a beautiful piece that will appeal to a rang...

For clarinet in C/violin, cello and piano. As is typical of Finnissy, this piece is demanding for the performers. The tempo is slow and much of the music of the upper two parts consists of sustained n...

A simple yet subtle and thought-provoking text, written from the perspective of a child present at the Nativity, communicates the wonder of Christ's birth. Orchestral material is on hire.

Gounod's classic Christmas anthem is published here with a new arrangement of the Chorus part for SATB, alongside the Soprano and Alto soloists, Piano and optional Organ/Harmonium.
