Subject: Repertoire for Holy Week

Thanks to all who responded. I have included comments for your edification
as well!!!!!

1-On the Passion of Christ - David Williams
From: CHausmann(a)UH.EDU (Charles S. Hausmann)

I would suggest any of the requiem masses assessable to most church choirs:
John Rutter (1984) Requiem oxford

2-Gabriel Faure

Mozart's

even Prokofiev's requiem can be done with a lot of dedicated work from
your choir

Any of the Passions of Bach (a pretty good Lutheran;))
These are quite lenghty and difficult, but certain choruses are attainable.
From: edgks(a)falcon.cc.ukans.edu (ED GOEKE)


3-Look at the Schuetz Passions. You would need good soloists, but the
choral parts are not terribly involved if memory serves me.
From: pmeers(a)indiana.edu (paul stephen meers)

4-Dietrich Buxtehude: Membra Jesu Nostri

It is a cyclus of 7 baroque cantatas, regarding the different wounded parts
of the holy body of Jesus Christ. The words are in Latin. It is written for
string quartett SSATB-Soloists and SSATB Choir.

I did this piece with my chamber-choir five times during the last two years
and it made a great impression to everyone...
For the program I made a translation of the words into german poems (same
metres and rhymes as the Latin original text), but I think this cannot be
helpful for you...
You can get piano reduction and full score at: Verlag Merseburger, Berlin.
If you are interested, please contact me back and I will try to find out
the tel.number or address for you.

From: strauh(a)berlin.snafu.de (stefan rauh)

5-Have a look at Schxtz: Seven Last Words
From: jpineo(a)atcon.com (John & Beth Pineo)

6-Would you consider the early Handel St. John Passion? You could do
excerpts, and you could do it in English. it's fairly easy, and not
interesting enough to do for one or two hours, but excerpts that cut to
the hear of the story might be quite nice!

I've also done the Bach St. John once or twice without the arias, using only
the "action" and none of the contemplative stuff, and omitting a few
choruses that aren't crucial to the story (the dividing the garment by
lots, for example, and the wrapping of the body in linens, etc). It
makes it doable for the chorus, a better length for a service, and takes
away all of those really difficult arias! I cut quite a few chorales as
well. I think what's left is pure drama, and the best msuic in the
world, and doesn't do Bach an injustice. All you really need to make it
work is a really good evangelist and a decent Jesus, chrous and strings
(the winds are only crucial, I think, in the arias)...
From: janower(a)csc.albany.edu (David Janower)

7- How about Kenneth Leighton's Crucifixus Pro Nobis, which is scored for
choir and organ with tenor/soprano solo. The final Drop, drop slow tears is
quite well known in the US. The entire cantata is also fairly well known.
Good
luck! j.leighton(a)central.napier.ac.uk

8-I performed in a Holy Week concert, actually the Fri and Sat before Palm
Sunday, recently. We did Bruckner's Te Deum and Haydn's Seven Last Words
(in German) - the version for orchestra, soloists and chorus. There is
also an all instrumental version.

The Haydn in particular is a georgeous piece - lasts about an hour.

Requiem masses are appropriate for funerals and All Saints Day but NOT for
Holy Week.

Subject: Companion to Mozart Requiem - Compilation

A little while ago I requested ideas for pieces to "fill out" our
planned Good Friday 1998 concert of the Mozart Requiem. This is
a compilation of the responses. Lorna Wright (wright(a)nso.uchc.edu)
forwarded to me a copy of the compilation she made after making
a similar request last January, but I have not included that.

Many thanks to all!

From: Vlad Morosan

Consider a set of several selections from the rich services of Orthodox
Holy Week: Musica Russica has a number of suitable works in its catalog:

http://www.musicarussica.com

by composers such as Rimsky-Korsakov and Gretcahninoff, to name a few.
These works always seem to end up being both the singers' and the
audiences' favorites. All editions have the original text rendered in
"user-friendly" phonetics, and text-specific diction tapes are also available.
For more info: call 1-800-326-3132.

--------
From: Elizabeth H Pizer

If you are able to consider works directly from composers, & if it might be
possible to consider more than one composition to fill the allocated 15-20
minutes for the remainder of your program, I would be pleased
to offer my "Kyrie Eleison" for a cappella choir. Scored for SSAATTBB
voices, performance duration is circa 10-12 minutes & level of difficulty
would be classified as "difficult." If you would like to examine the
work, I can provide a perusal score, plus, if it would be useful, a
performance tape -- just let me know...

-----------
From: "H. Raul Dominguez"

Poulenc, Francis,
4 Motets pour un Temps de Penitence [14' ca]
Distler, Hugo,
Totentanz (J. Klocking-Angelus Silesius) (1934) [27' ca]
Durufle, M.,
Motets sur des themes gregoriens, op. 4
Penderecki, K.,
Stabat Mater (1963) [Deshon Music Inc., New York]
Petrassi, G.,

Pousseur, H.,
Sept Versets des Psaumes de la Penitence pour 4 voix (1950)
Krenek, Ernest,
Lamentatio Jeremiae Prophetae op. 93.
In coene Domini [28' ca]
In Parasceve [22' ca]
In Sabbato Sancto [25' ca])
Scelsi, Giacinto,
Tre canti sacri: Angelus. Requiem. Gloria (1958) [16' ca.]

--------
From: Tom Lumb

Last time we did the Mozart Requiem we gave the choir a rest in the other
part of the evening and made our Bass soloist work harder by singing
Dvorak's Biblical Songs. I'm not sure if they are quite 20th C, but
probably close enough - and accompaniment would be needed - but
doesn't need to be orchestral.

--------
From: William McConnell

Not a cappella, but a great companion piece is Robert Moran's "Requiem:
Chant du Cygne". Uses virtually the same instrumentaion as the Mozart,
but divides the choir and orchestra into 4 groups in four parts of the
cathedral. It is in 3 movements. Text is from words attributed to Mozart on
his death bed. In the third movement, Moran uses a 12-tone row that he
found in the graveyard scene of Don Giovanni.

--------
From: Timothy Carney (MaestroTim(a)aol.com)

Gerald Finzi's Lo the full, final sacrifice would be especially appropriate, and
a good pairing with the Mozart. It is SATB and organ, or perhaps strings,
and I don't remember exactly how long it is, anywhere from 7-12 minutes.
Also try the four Lenten motets of Francis Poulenc, which are a capella.
Mendelsson also has a short motet on Christe Du Lamm Gottes (sp?) with
strings.

--------
From: Tom Hart

I know it's not unaccompanied but . . . how about the Stravinsky "Mass"?

--------
From: Natalie Pessin Bliss

There's the Requiem by Iain Hamilton (412-41069) or Persichetti's Mass
(462-00012).

---------
From: Wayne Crannell

Hymn to St. Cecilia Britten
Rejoice in the Lamb Britten (with organ)
Bach Motets
Denn Er hat seinen Engeln befolen Mendelssohn (too short alone)
Past Life Melodies Hopkins
(not sacred, but not secular - text has no meaning - a sound piece
employing harmonic overtone singing)

Dear Friends:

Some time ago I promised to share with you the results of a survey of Holy
Week/Easter music services. Here at last are the compiled responses from 15
church musicians representing five different denominations: Methodist,
Presbyterian, Lutheran, Episcopal and Roman Catholic. Perhaps this
information will provide some ideas for you next year.

If you are thinking that you should have shared in this survey, it's not too
late! Send your services for Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter and I will
post a follow-up to this survey. The more information you share (title,
composer, publisher, octavo no., voicing, etc.) the more useful the
information will be to others. Be sure to include your church name, city and
state.

Also, some churches provided the full text of their bulletins, which are not
included in this post. If you are interested in obtaining this material,
please e-mail me directly (not the group) at nick.boltz(a)hopeaustin.org and I
will send it to you as a Word or Plain Text file attachment. (See the survey
below for the churches that provided this material.)

Sometime in May I will send out another request for your Advent/Christmas
music ideas. You may want to contribute your service music from 2001, or
perhaps you're one of those people who plan WAY in advance, and you'd like
to inspire us with your plans for 2001. Whatever you do, know that your
ideas will be put to good use by musicians from a variety of faith and
musical backgrounds. Soli Deo Gloria!
