Choral Music from Carl Fischer -- February 2021                             

SPRING IS IN THE AIR!

Choral directors, we know you have your eye towards spring. Warmer weather, longer days, and plenty of fresh air and sunlight — what's not to love? Here are our spring repertoire top picks for this season of hope, renewal, and new life. Selected with today's ensemble in mind, these fun, fresh works are optimal for distance learning or your spatially distanced classroom. These pieces will help your choir shine at their next concert, whether it be in-person or pre-recorded in parts and edited together for a virtual concert experience. I Will Be Worthy of It Paul David Thomas SAB Voices with Piano With a compelling text urging the singer to press on regardless of difficulties or setbacks one may face in life, Thomas' fabulous piece is propelled by a driving piano that mimics the intrinsic motivation that spurs the poetry on!  Click here to view score video. O Quam Gloriosum Jacob Narverud SSA Voices with Piano Bold, rhythmic and harmonically rich, Narverud's mixed meter accompanied Latin text setting for treble voices is powerful. For the burgeoning or advanced treble chorus, it is sure to make your choir gloriously shine.  Click here to view score video.     Howdidow, Deediddleumday Arr. Vicki Tucker Courtney SSA Voices with Piano This English folk song is a fantastic piece to teach vowels, diction, rhythms, and pitch precision. The nonsense syllables represent birds and bats chatting to one another in a rhythmic, witty fashion that's a whole lot of fun to sing.  Click here to view score video. I'm Gonna Sing When the Spirit Says Sing   Arr. James M. DesJardins Three-Part Mixed Voices with Piano This vibrant work combines musical elements of traditional African music and Protestant church music. Inspirational and great fun to sing, with optional claps and hand moves, singers will ride on the energy of the driving bass line in the highly rhythmic piano accompaniment.  Click here to view score video.     All Shall Be Well Mark Burrows SATB Voices, a cappella Burrows' setting of assuring words from the English mystic Julian of Norwich is as relevant today as ever. For the advanced mixed ensemble, this is a powefully optimistic song of hope appropriate throughout the year.  Click here to view score video.

Carus Spring 2017 Publishing Program Preview

With this Carus publishing program preview you can have a taster of Carus's forthcoming publications for the first half of 2017. A wealth of highlights awaits you both in core areas, modern Urtext editions for choirs, and in digital products.

The coming year is mainly devoted to Johann Sebastian Bach. For the 500th anniversary year of the Reformation we have set ourselves an ambitious goal: Bach vocal, our edition of the complete sacred vocal works of Johann Sebastian Bach, reaches its conclusion by Reformation Day October 2017. We have around 15 cantatas still to go, nine of which will be published this coming spring.

A further highlight in our choral music catalog is our editions of the sacred compositions of Charles Gounod, the 200th anniversary of whose birth falls in 2018. This includes the collection Chants sacrés, with 20 shorter sacred motets for 4–6 part mixed choir with organ or piano accompaniment. These are extremely suitable for use in church services.

2017 marks the 450th anniversary of Monteverdi’s birth and the 250th anniversary of Telemann’s death. We are celebrating both of these anniversaries with a series of new publications listed for you below.

As well as this, we’ve marked those editions in our publishing program with carusplus where Carus offers more than just the music – whether it’s innovative practice aids, or Vocal scores XL with reader-friendly large print.
