Description
Evening. The day’s labour is over. The night is near and dreams take over. It is a time for peace with oneself and with one’s God. For Romantic poets, the evening symbolises the transition between everyday life and something greater. This volume includes beautiful music by a range of composers from Isaac and Reger to Rheinberger and Brahms. This first collection of five carols samples the vast spectrum of festive musical fare that still lies at the heart of the English Christmas tradition.
The name SAM-Klang takes the three voice parts from the arrangements — Soprano, Alto and Men — and combines it with the Scandinavian and German words for “sound” to create the portmanteau word “sound together” or “harmony.” The series offers basic and advanced choral repertoire. In addition to new repertoire and new arrangements, you will also find essential parts of the classical German, Scandinavian, French and English SATB repertoire, carefully and considerately reworked for SAM. The arrangements retain the characteristic features of the original movements and have almost the same richness of timbre, resulting in works which sound nearly unchanged to an audience. Piano reductions of all choral movements facilitate rehearsal preparation. The arrangements offer development opportunities for all voice sections, bringing new life and new quality to SAM choir work. SAM-Klang enables youth choirs to gain access to classical choral literature and ensures that mixed choirs who face challenges in finding singers for all male voice parts continue to have access to well-loved repertoire.
Nachtlied [Adolf Jensen]; Nun ruhen alle Wälder [Heinrich Isaac]; Am Abend [Max Reger]; Um Mitternacht [Josef Rheinberger]; Vineta [Johannes Brahms].
