The Kyrie, with its staccato versus legato singing, contrasts with the simple, melodic ballad feel of the Adoramus Te, which in turn is contrasted with the celebratory style and energy of the Gloria in Excelsis Deo. For school or church, sung independently or as a set, for holiday use or at any time of year, this is a powerhouse for teaching and performing!

Judith Clurman. Nineteenth-century cantor and composer Solomon Sulzer combined the Viennese romantic compositional style with traditional Hebrew melodies to create a new form of Jewish liturgical music.

Combined, these make a beautiful concert setting or service music for either Jewish or Christian worship. Includes: Segen (Sulzer) and Tov L'Hodot (Schubert). 10557365 SATB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.50 t Vox PopuliGiedrius Svilainis. "The voice of the people is the voice of God..." Vox populi, vox Dei opens with a fortissimo fanfare-like passage in B-flat major. The basses then introduce a marcato ostinato, followed by the tenors with a rhythmically contrasting theme. The women enter together, with syncopated rhythms, then all voices unite at the text "Ubi Concordia" ("Where there is unity"). The music of the opening fanfare returns to conclude this high- energy a cappella work. 10190200 SSATBB . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 2.10 H With a Voice of SingingMartin Shaw.
