Auld Lang SyneAnd Other Classic Scottish MelodiesArr. Alexander L’Estrange

The arrangement of the title song. Auld Lang Syne is a bit of a show-stopper with several other Scottish melodies woven in, and this is complemented by a beautiful adaptation of perhaps Scotland’s most famous melody, The Skye Boat Song. The final song within this collection is Afton Water, first published or collected by Robbie Burns, the great Scottish poet - it is a gentle, lyrical hymn of praise both to the countryside and to Scotland itself.

A Christmas SpecialArr. Alexander L’Estrange

A collection of four joyful songs exploring the ‘lighter’ side of the Christmas. Have Yourself a Merry LittleChristmas was made famous by the 1944 film Meet Mein St. Louis, where it was sung by Judy Garland and this is complemented with O Christmas Tree, one of the most popular German traditional carols, and the original AnotherChristmas composed by series editor Alex L’Estrange and fellow composer Peter Gritton. A Christmas collection would not be complete without Jingle Bells, given a boisterous treatment here, although actually the song isn’t about Christmas at all - it’s about the cutter drag races in Boston, where young men would race sleighs to impress the girls!

Danny Boy and Other Classic Irish MelodiesArr. Alexander L’EstrangeThe Irish have long been famed for their powerful traditional melodies, and three in this volume are surely amongst the finest. ‘Danny boy’ (the melody of which is also known as ‘Londonderry Air’) was first published, without a title, in 1855. The words most commonly associated with it were written by an Englishman who apparently never set foot in Ireland! ‘The lark in the clear air’ is an exquisite song celebrating the beauty of nature. The poignant words of ‘The last rose of summer’ match the song’s mournful, drooping melody.

Ecce Cor MeumBy Paul McCartney

Ecce Cor Meum, or “Behold My Heart” is now available from Faber Music through Alfred Publishing. The five-movement work became McCartney’s tribute to Linda after she died of cancer in 1998; in particular, the yearning Interlude - the central movement and heart of the piece - which he wrote in the midst of his grief for her. But this impetus for the work wasn’t immediately clear to McCartney himself. To begin with, he did what he does best - crafting a series of wonderful, lyrical melodies - but needed to be inspired to write the “right” text. It was only when he saw a statue depicting the Crucifixion, under which was inscribed Ecce Cor Meum or “Behold My Heart” that he realized this was the starting point he needed. A first version of Ecce Cor Meum was performed at the Sheldonian Theatre three years later. Following more work and revisions, the 55-minute work was finally recorded in March 2006 with EMI Classics. Following the premiere in November that year, the work was hailed as a phenomenal success, and the recording was awarded the Album of the Year Classical BRIT award in May 2007. But McCartney had now caught the bug for choral music, many people had said that they loved the rich seam of melodies in the oratorio, and had asked him if he could create an a cappella version of the work reduced for more practical resources. McCartney had a vision of a condensed work, and wanted to maintain the five-movement structure, but was determined that each movement should be reconceived as a “choral song” defined by the principal lyrical melody or melodies from the original movement - just like a pop song. And, like a pop song, each one should be just a few minutes long and be performable and programmable independently as well as part of the suite. This flexibility of usage was furthered by the decision to have a mix of a cappella and organ-accompanied songs, so that there could be used in a variety of contexts and performance spaces.

Four American ChorusesBy Julian Anderson

The texts of these choruses were chosen from Ira D. Sankey’s popular Gospel Hymn Book, from the mid-nineteenth century, a volume much loved by Charles Ives who quoted numerous Snakey tunes in almost all of this mature works. There is something socially very moving about them, providing as they did a means of solace, comfort and hope for a better life for people whose lives were, on average, probably terrible.

Some of the phraseology and turns of phrase may also have been an influence on American poets in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Pre-echoes of Emily Dickenson can be heard on the texts of both I’m a Pilgrim and Beautiful Valley of Eden. In all four cases, the chosen texts generally avoid any specifically religious references.

Titles: I’m a Pilgrim • Beautiful Valley of Eden • Bright Morning Star! • At the Fountain.

The Gospel TrainA Gospel Medley and Classic SpiritualArr. Alexander L’Estrange

The Gospel Train is a medley of three best-loved gospel songs that would be perfect as a concert opener or encore. The laid-back swing of ‘Go Down, Moses’ is contrasted by ‘Oh Happy Day!’ (used in the Whoopi Goldberg film Sister Act) and concludes with the unstoppable finale ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’. The spiritual ‘Standing in the Need of Prayer’ is a simple meditative melody with a pleasing, repetitive chord sequence.

A joyful exuberant song with an infectious rhythm, ‘Si Njay, Njay, Njay’ can also be performed a cappella with some optional percussion for greater effect. ‘Weeping’ is a South African pop song from the band Bright Blue and uses as its chorus the refrain from the Zulu anthem ‘N’kosi Sikeleli Africa’ (‘God Bless Africa’).
