SATB: with Cello and KeyboardHere is a compilation for all those interested. Thank you for the considerable volume of responses. I have listed those suggestions which matched my request for: choir, cello, w/keyboard accompaniment. I have also edited out most comments where possible. Thanks again for your help. Dennis Keller terzetto from Bach's Cantata #150 - Cedern Mussen Vonden Winden. Brahms "let nothing never grieve thee" has a organ accompaniment. I've seen it with piano and cello instead. John Rutter's Out of the Depths (Psalm 130) from the Requiem calls for cello, harp and organ but could be adapted for cello and organ. Faure's "Cantique de Jean Racine" works well with cello on the bass line. two choruses from Donald McCulloch's "Holocaust Cantata" for chorus, cello There is also a fabulous movement for baritone solo, piano and cello. Published by Hinshaw Music. David Brunner's, "O Music". The "Kol Nidre" from Jewish Yom Kippur services is gorgeous. Believe composer is Max Janowski. It is for cello, organ, choir and soprano or tenor The Water is Wide by Rene Clausen....also French Horn and Clarinet Are you familiar with the Leslie Bassett "Moon Canticles"? For choir and cello obbligato. Edition Peters, No. 66270 There is a beautiful piece " Love Never Fails" by J.A.C. Redford that is for mixed choir, piano, and cello. The Tavener piece is Svyati--quite nice and not difficult for the choir. I encourage you to look at Joseph Martin's "The Living Song" published by Harold Flammer Music (A-7282) Nada te Turbe, SATB or SSAA by Joan Szymko poem by Saint Teresa of Avila Last year Cantori New York commissioned and performed a beautiful work from the Quebecois composer Alain Gagnon, for choir SATB and cello. The piece is in French; the poem is by the composer. The title is Le Rameau de Soie. The publisher is Les Editions Doberman-Yppan in Quebec. Their is doberman.yppan(a)videotran.ca and they have a website: http:/pages.infinit.net/doyp. The cantata is about 25 minutes long, and the cello part is hard, with some very tough double stops and tricky runs. Earthsongs publication: Ach, Synchu Synchu Another piece is Raymond Haan's "Were You There?". I cannot remember the publisher, maybe Hinshaw? It is a new melody for that text, with a beautiful cello line written to go with the keyboard. (Or was it Raymond Herbek's piece? Not sure.) Do you know the lovely arrangement by Rene Clausen of O My Luve's Like a Red Red Rose I have a piece for choir, organ and cello at www.stephensmusic.com I wrote a piece for choir, cello and organ just last year (well I guess you could use piano; we used viola instead of cello in one instance. so that's ok too). It has a new scared text by a local poet. The title is "Angels and Strangers" and has a "social justice" message: "We look for angels, glorious visitations/While strangers in need are gathering at our gates..." --Mark Gresham I would recommend Samuel Adler's "Kol Nidre," published by Transcontinental Music. Keys, cello, baritone solo, and SATB - very, very nice piece. I did a piece last year by Saul Rothstein (I think) titled Neshama T'horah. It is one movement from a larger work that features sop., Alto, and Bar. solos interspersed with the choir. You might consider my arrangement of "O Sacred Head, Now Wounded" published by Concordia. It can be seen and heard at http://www.gladdemusic.com/osacredh.htm

Regarding the listing above which reads, "John Rutter's Out of the Depths(Psalm 130) from the Requiem calls for cello, harp and organ, but could be adapted for cello and organ." Observation - The title of the 2nd movement from the Rutter Requiem is called "Out of the Deep". I have performed it many times as solo cellist in both ensemble editions and with choir, solo cello, and organ. With permission from John Rutter and Hinshaw music, I also publish this movement with the cello music and choral part in the Virtuoso Obbligato Aria Collection.

I happened to be searching on line tonight for a sound file and stumbled on this page. Finding this additional list of choral repertoire with cello is very useful. Thank you for posting it. "Were You There" by Raymond H. Haan (SATB with option Soprano or Tenor solo and cello obbligato)is published by Morning Star Publishers of St. Louis. They are located at 1727 Larkin Williams Rd, Fenton, MO 63026. I am performing it this weekend in Champaign, IL and have the music in hand at the moment.
