Lorenz Maierhofer 

In the Beginning was the Word 

Oratorio for mixed choir SATB, Solo Soprano and 

Baritone, Solo Violin, String orchestra and/or organ 

Duration: about 70 minutes. 

In its content, this moving and festive oratorio presents the 

Prologue of the Gospel according to St. John in relation to the 

maturing of humanity in faith. The work portrays, in the sense 

of a creation story, the path that leads from earthly striving and 

doubt to religious enlightenment. 

The music is characterised by a sensitive setting of the `Word`, by 

powerful melodies and colourful harmonies, and by the optimism 

of religious faith. 

The 11 choral parts are mainly based on psalms. The messages of 

the choral compositions are musically intensifi ed by soprano and 

baritone solos. The self-contained character of the choral parts 

enables them also to be performed individually, both in religious 

services and in sacred concerts.

4 Sacred Choral Works – Oratorios 


There is a Light 

Oratorio with Christmas songs, spirituals, 

folk songs and texts based on St. Luke’s Gospel 

This easy-to-sing, moving, yet at the same time groovy work 

combines the Christmas story as told in St. Luke’s Gospel 

with Christmas songs, spirituals and folk songs. It can be sung 

with great fl exibility in the spirit of an oratorio. 

The work permits two different performance variants: 

* An interpretation of the “basic edition” for choir a cappella, 

soli and narrator 

** “Enriched oratorio edition” for mixed choir SATB, soli and 

piano, with recitatives for baritone solo (optionally spoken by 

a narrator with piano accompaniment) 

Contents (Choral parts): There is a light – Sunny light of Bethlehem 

– Señora Doña Maria – Somebody’s knocking at your door – 

Let my light shine bright – Vamos pastorcillos – This little light of 

mine – It’s a me – Those were the days – Sunny light of Bethlehem, 

Amen – Let’s sing a song of Christmas 

* There is a Light: Basic edition – a cappella 

for choir, soli and narrator 


This edition provides all of the choral pieces as easy-to-sing strophic songs, each introduced by solo passages. Between 

the choral sections, the Christmas story from St Luke’s Gospel is freely declaimed by a narrator. 

The distinctive compositional concept also provides the option of combining different choirs (mixed choir, treble choir, 

male-voice choir) together in a single, joint performance. 

The naming of the chords throughout indicates the possibility of a free chord accompaniment, for example on piano or 

guitar. For pianists, it is also easily possible to take the corresponding passages of the piano accompaniment and the 

accompaniment for the spoken texts of the narrator from the enriched oratorio edition. 

■ Choral score, basic edition SATB – HI-C4913 ■ Choral score, basic edition SAA – HI-C4914 

■ Choral score, basic edition TTBB – HI-C4912 € 9,50 


** There is a Light: Enriched oratorio edition – vocal-instrumental 

for mixed choir SATB, soli and piano, with recitatives for baritone or alto solo 

(optionally spoken by a narrator with piano accompaniment) 


This edition enables the work to be performed as an oratorio for choir, soli and piano, with recitatives for a baritone 

(or alto) solo. Alternatively, the recitatives can also be freely declaimed by a narrator to a piano accompaniment (this 

option can be heard in the complete CD recording). 

In the enriched oratorio edition, the choral sections have been arranged as varied strophic songs. The chord names 

given in the piano accompaniment also make a band accompaniment (e.g. piano/bass/percussion) possible.

Missa Lumen 

A strong, rhythmic pulse and powerful archaic vocals characterise

life”. In a lively and colourful kaleidoscope of harmony, modern 

and mediaeval sounding musical tones combine in a festive Mass 

with a special radiance. Optionally, the rhythmic, pulsating character 

can be underscored by a percussive drum accompaniment or 

with stomps (stamped rhythms or rhythms played percussively with 

a variety of objects). A youthful and refreshing new repertoire work 

for religious services and concerts.

Latin Mass for mixed choir SATB a cappella and soli,

of the human quest, of the assurance of faith and divine eternal 

joy form the message of the Missa Lumen – a Mass that moves 

performers and the audience alike. With its scope for variant 

performances, the Missa Lumen is a versatile choral repertoire item 

for the annual calendar of church music: vocal-instrumental or

Missa Jubilate Deo 

Latin Mass mixed choir SATB a cappella, 

optionally with organ and/or strings 

In its form and style, the short Latin Missa Jubilate Deo follows in the 

tradition of classical church music. Alongside powerfully simple 

and in many cases insistently expressive moments, effective fugato 

passages and splendid unisons create a highly festive atmosphere. 

The singing parts are supported by an organ and/or string (ad lib) 

accompaniment, thus ensuring that the sound has a festive effect. 

Because of its cantabile conception, its clear structure and the uncomplicated 

nature of its harmonies, this Mass is also highly suited 

to the needs of less experienced singers and small church choirs, 

and can be performed on a wide variety of occasions. 

Contents: Kyrie – Gloria – Sanctus – Benedictus – Agnus Dei

Missa Harmonia Mundi 

Mass for mixed choir SATB a cappella, 

optionally with organ and 2 trumpets and/or strings 

The motto of this Mass is: many tongues – one Christian faith! For 

this, the Latin text of each of the parts SAT combines with a living 

language (German, English or Spanish) sung by the independently 

borne bass voice. This festive work is relatively easy to sing. Optionally 

the Mass can be accompanied with strings and/or organ. This 

formation can be expanded with 2 trumpets. The brass parts can 

also accompany the choral singing together with the organ. 

The TTBB edition of this Mass can be accompanied with organ and, 

optionally, with 2 trumpets. 

Contents: In nomine / In the Name – Kyrie eleison / Have mercy 

– Laudamus Dominum / Glory to the Lord – Cantemus Halleluja 

/ Let’s sing Hallelujah – Offerimus / We offer – Sanctus / Holy 

– Agnus Dei / Lamb of God – Corpus Domini / Lord Jesus’ Body –

Missa Classica 

(In honorem Sancti Leonardi) 

Latin Mass for mixed choir SATB, soli SATB, 

with organ and strings, optionally with 

brass ensemble and timpani 

Both in form and in style, this composition takes as its point of 

reference the great tradition of classical church music. In line 

with current practice in church music, there is no setting of the 

creed. With the festive splendour of its sound, the Missa Classica is 

especially suitable for the major festivals of the church year. At the 

same time, care has been taken to ensure that the Mass can also be 

easily managed by amateur choirs. The choral part is easy to sing, 

and the solos can also be handled by capable choral singers. For the 

performance, two different instrumental formations are possible: 

either with strings and organ only, or with, in addition, two oboes, 

two bassoons, two horns and timpani.

Missa anima integra 

Latin Mass for mixed choir SATB a cappella, 

optionally with organ and/or strings 

This Latin Mass is marked by exceptionally rich and powerfully 

expressive melody and harmony. Radiant with joy, solemn and 

measured, insistent in lamentation, moving in contemplation, the 

Mass speaks directly to human emotions and refl ects faith, trust, 

hope and a zest for life. The optional, easy-to-perform organ and/ 

or string (colla parte) accompaniment offers an additional performance 

alternative, provides support for the vocal parts and lends 

the Mass an added festive splendour. The clarity of form, tonal 

disposition, moderate proportion, logical part-writing and balanced 

ambitus of the voices make this Mass easy for even small church 

choirs to sing on a variety of occasions.

There is still no end to the fascination exercised by the performances of the

the streets everywhere are full of enthusiastic audiences swinging their way 

home, still stirred by the power of the gospel songs and spirituals. So it goes 

without saying that the FlexiChoir series would not be complete without the 

inclusion of spirituals. The arrangements are varied and groovy, and will get 

that crucial feeling going in both the singers and the audience.

when sung by a choir.

One date in the calendar that can always be relied upon is Christmas. And for 

choirs in particular it means large numbers of seasonal concerts and religious 

services. FlexiChoir offers you a colourful range of Christmas choral music, 

from England, France, Spain and the USA. The titles will convince that swing, 

real feeling and humour can all be part of the sound of Christmas.

5 caribbean songs 



For many people, the Caribbean‘s atttratction is sun, sea and sand, cocktails 

and exotic fruit. But for many, too, it is the music of the Caribbean islands that 

triggers memories and itchy feet. Whether reggae or calypso, this is music that 

your whole body responds to. The FlexiChoir series focuses on folk songs from 

Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, which bring a taste of Caribbean verve and zest 

for life to both choir and audience.

great breadth of African choral music. This collection of choral settings 

from the experienced hand of Markus Detterbeck ranges from 

songs of welcome through lullabies to religious inspirationals and 

politically motivated freedom songs. In addition to the language of 

the originals, every song has been provided with singable English 

lyrics. The appendix contains warm-ups, guides to pronunciation 

for each of the titles. Whether performed in concerts or in religious 

services, these lively and rhythmic choral songs are always guaranteed 

to win the enthusiasm of the audience. 

Contents: Mamaliye (Sing Africa, sing) – Molweni (Let’s say 

hello) – Sesithi bonga (Let us sing bonga) – Thina singu (Let us be 

the burning fi re) – Thula sizwe (Any day now) – Revival – Thula 

mtwana wami (African lullaby) – Hamba kahle (Farewell) – Freedom 

is coming 

African Gospels, Blues, Earth Songs 

for mixed choir SATB a cappella, 

optionally with drums 

Like prayers, Inspirationals convey deep human emotions, full 

of spirituality and blues. These easily singable compositions and 

arrangements span a wide range of choral music styles with 

Indian, African, Afro-American and Native American sounds and 

messages. Solo vocal improvisations, spoken texts, expressive instrumental 

accompaniments ad lib, and, not least, choreographies 

can give the pieces a very individual effect. Whether the mood 

is meditative, contemplative or groovy, the Inspirationals move 

singers and audiences alike – in concerts, celebrations and choral 

meditation.

(Come and Wake up into Daylight) – Deep in the Earth (Madshekule)

Warm-ups 


Warm-ups 

for voice & body 

25 canonic songs and chants 

for choir, classroom and stage 

Warm-ups are small pieces with great effect – ideal 

for many situations where people sing together in 

groups. Canonic structures and pattern accompaniments 

such as small bass parts, rhythmic accompaniments 

with vocussion or percussion, and background 

vocals permit great diversity in the arrangement of 

the pieces for a broad range of levels of diffi culty. 

These 25 short, easy-to-sing pieces motivate people to sing in a variety of ways. For each of the warm-ups there are 

specifi c hints and tips on how to use them in music and choir teaching: “body & voice”, “rhythm & movement” or 

“performance”. Whether as a rhythmic rap number with Vocussion, as a canon with choreographed movement, or as a 

creative musical piece, the warm-ups can also be performed very effectively on stage. 

The CD supplied with the sheet music offers recordings of all pieces. 

Contents: Mister Spookey‘s rhythm round - Talking faces - Sing a cappella - Echo sound in groove - The train - Drum 

and drum - There is sunshine - What a delight - Let‘s swing ...

The series Chorus XXI - New Perspectives in Choral Music, with choral works by contemporary composers, offers 

chamber and concert choirs and also dedicated amateur choirs a broad spectrum of sacred and secular pieces. 

The diversity of its style and content ranges from musical settings of poems through sacred concert pieces to experimental 

sound compositions. 

Many of the compositions have already been successfully performed in competitions and have aroused considerable 

international attention. 

EL Raphael 

Asi Sea – 

The Answer of the Sea 

SSAATBB a cappella 

“Love is the amen of the universe.” (Novalis) Slowly, in 

the sound of the sea, through its broken syllables, a hidden 

message reveals itself. What can the song of the 

ocean convey to us? Perhaps the calling of the sea: the 

calling of the sea to say “amen”. We have often heard 

voices and narratives in birdsong, in the rustle of leaves 

on the trees, in the whistling of the wind and in the 

murmur of the sea. Federico Garcia Lorca once said: “We 

must be like a tree, standing constantly in prayer.” And 

precisely in order to succeed in rendering this profound 

song of praise of the ocean, we need both the colourful 

sound of a large g choir and its calm.

Rupert Gottfried Frieberger 

Ave Maria 


As a dedication to Joseph Werndl, the retiring director 

of music of Passau Cathedral and an admirer of Anton 

Bruckner, this four to eight voice, homophonically 

oriented choral piece is characterized by its affi nity 

with Bruckner: reminiscent of the Dorian mode, it, too, 

sets its climactic points on the thrice repeated cry of 

Jesus, before taking up the initial motifs in a kind of 

reprise starting at Sancta Maria, and leading into an 

eight-voice D major for the Amen.

Rupert Gottfried Frieberger 

Veni creator spiritus 


The composition of Veni creator spiritus was commissioned 

by the Hilliard Ensemble and was given its fi rst 

performance in the Collegiate Church in Schlägl in May 

1998. The Gregorian melody is carried through in each 

of the four fully composed verses, roaming through all 

the vocal parts. In the third verse, which is reduced 

to three voicings, we encounter its mirror image. In 

verse four, ostinato groups in the “sub-choir” underpin 

the soprano cantus fi rmus. This rhythmically and harmonically 

diverse choral composition has meanwhile 

become part of the repertoire of the Czech Philharmonic 

Choir Brno and has been performed at many venues.

Harald Feller 

Verbum caro 

No. 2 from Four Christmas Motets 


Harald Feller’s Four Christmas Motets are an expression 

of individual aspects of the Christmas mystery. By 

means of colourfully arranged harmonies, freely fl oating 

rhythms and fi nely drawn melodies, the composer 

succeeds with these settings in moving both singers 

and audience in equal measure in their innermost 

selves. 

In the Verbum caro, a tranquil beginning is followed by 

a second, livelier part with a more joyful character. The 

closing forte, surprising at fi rst sight, gives clear and 

vivid expression to the power of the word.

Ave Maria 





means of colourfully arranged harmonies, freely 

fl oating rhythms and fi nely drawn melodies, the 

composer succeeds with these settings in moving both 

singers and audience in equal measure in their innermost 

selves. The composition of the Ave Maria was 

inspired by a setting by the Spanish Renaissance 

composer Tomás Luis de Victoria, and for this reason, 

Feller’s choral piece is based on the same Gregorian 

version of the text. The piece is also suitable for performance 

outside the Christmas period on other feast days 

associated with the Blessed Virgin.

The motet Lux fulgebit begins pianissimo, enigmatically 

and monophonic. In a dynamic intensifi cation, 

ever more tones join in until, after repeatedly gathering 

forces, the work closes with a jubilant Amen.

Viva la Musica 


What would our existence, our lives, be without music? 

Joyful emotions, sorrowful romances, songs of battle 

or feelings of love: without music, any portrayal of 

these could only be imperfect. Music is an elemental 

mirror of our selves and our souls, an inherently 

human form of expression. Let us take delight in it. Let 

us honour it. Let us make use of it for the sake of peace. 

Music! Long may it live!

Jubilate Deo 


Encounters can awaken beautiful memories and trigger 

a feeling of wellbeing. Reason enough for joyful 

excitement, euphoric rejoicing and singing with all our 

might. However, refl ection, inner calm and contemplation 

of the sublime, into whose presence we have 

entered and whom we remember in our joy, also form 

a part of it all. 

Jubilate Deo has been composed in the style of modern, 

jazz-like, spiritual a cappella choral works. Strongly 

rhythmic and with special harmonic effects, it appeals 

not only to young people’s choirs but also to committed 

choirs whose members have remained young at heart.

Franz M. Herzog 

Lux aeterna 


With Lux aeterna, Franz M. Herzog presents an 

impressive concert piece for mixed voices that with its 

dramatic interpretation of the content of the requiem 

mass represents a fascinating challenge for every 

dedicated choir. With an exceptionally expressive 

musical language, full of tension and suspense and 

characterized by cluster-like overlays of melodic lines 

and differing sound surfaces and pattern structures, he 

has produced a vivid, closely-woven musical setting of 

the fi nal plea for eternal light.

Michael Ostrzyga 

Iuppiter 


Iuppiter is a choral work based on Jupiter’s many Latin 

cult names and etymologically related concepts from 

other ancient languages. In addition, passages from 

the Ordinary of the Roman Catholic Mass and the 

Pentecostal Sequence are used. 

The initial sound is succeeded by an ornamental, 

mysterious middle part. The composition ends in a 

megalomaniac, eruptive fi nal part, like thunder and 

downpour.

Gloria 

from Missa for Mixed Choir 


Following in its extensive structure in the tradition of 

the great settings of the Mass, the Missa for Mixed Choir 

by Franz M. Herzog is marked by its outstandingly 

vivid musical language. All sections of the Mass can 

also be performed independently of one another. 

Herzog fashions the Gloria in vivid form. Several 

musically independent sections are combined to form 

a unifi ed whole. The climax of the piece is an intense 

and powerful solo. A highly stimulating challenge for 

concert and chamber choirs.

Kyrie 








The treatment of the Kyrie text is outstanding for the 

expressive and atmospheric density of its musical 

language. Expressive melodic lines and terse rhythmic 

patterns are repeatedly combined in ways which are 

always new and vividly convey the message of the text 

to the audience.

encounters 

monolog-e dialog-e trialog-e 


encounters is a cycle of three compositions for mixed 

voices. These sound collages describe three fundamental 

forms of human communication. Taking sound 

centred on “e” as its starting point, the work uses the 

means of sound and scene to portray communicative 

situations. The graphic notation of this contemporary 

choral composition leaves a great deal of freedom for 

improvi-sation and creative interpretation: singing, 

speaking, movement and acting.

With this new series for choir, Helbling is offering you an expanded programme to complement its highly successful 

HCCS and Chorus XXI choral series. 

You will discover a large number of new composers and arrangers and a variety of choral music styles – new religious 

and secular choral compositions, arrangements of folk songs from around the world, arrangements of songs and arias 

by great composers and new choral pieces in jazz and pop choral style. Although the focus of the compositions and 

arrangements is the mixed choir, some of the arrangements are also available in versions for female-voice choirs. 

Enrich your next concert programme with brand new compositions and arrangements!

Apple Song 


With its samba feeling, Apple Song will bring the 

warmth of summer into every concert hall! The lyrics 

could contain a hidden message, the composition could 

be describing a Mediterranean island, the song could 

be speaking out for peace on Earth, the apple in the 

title could here become a major symbol of freedom. Or 

does it all quite simply mean nothing at all?

HI-C6224 

Riobamba is a town in the South American state of 

Ecuador which is located fairly high up in the Andes. 

Stefan Foidl passed through it on one of his journeys, 

and decided to compose music encapsulating the 

impressions which he gathered there. This choral piece 

is thus a very personal snapshot of his sentiments, 

which has been given musical form. Choirs can learn 

Riobamba Dance very quickly, the majority of the motif 

elements coming as they do one after another in 

unison in the fi rst few bars. Drawing inspiration from 

the earthy groove, the musical space also permits 

improvisations with which the heights of the Andean 

summits can be conquered more swiftly!

I Love You 


There are certainly many who have experienced the 

mixed feelings involved in making a declaration of 

love to their sweetheart. After all, we cannot be certain 

how he or she will react, and it is really diffi cult to put 

our own deep feelings into words! In the composition 

I Love You, a choir tackles this topic together: maybe 

it will be possible to express feelings more successfully 

if it is done collectively, or perhaps singing will make 

it easier? – Again and again, the choir feels its way 

cautiously into the alluring I love ..., only to duck out 

into ... my morning coffee or ... shopping for shoes! The 

audience is kept on tenterhooks waiting to see whether 

the declaration will fi nally cross the lips of the choir …

Music – there can hardly be any other language in 

the world that is so varied, so colourful and so widely 

“spoken” as this. Music is our common language. As 

greatly as we differ in our cultures, our origins, the 

colour of our skins, and our sentiments, however 

distant from each other are our lives – music will 

always unite us, bring us together, enable us to 

communicate. We need it just as much as we need the 

air we breathe.

Simon Wawer 

Silent Love 


In Silent Love, Simon Wawer makes use of insistent, 

melancholy harmonies to portray a declaration of love 

to things past, to memories, thoughts and images, in 

fact to love itself. Love – who can escape it? It is the 

feeling of supreme happiness that towers above all else, 

that gives us security, sustains us and transports us into 

euphoria – even if sometimes a “silent love” is all that 

remains.

“When will he come back to me?” The soprano voices 

form this question in a moving melodic phrase before 

the other voices join in. Wistful looks back to the past 

are suffused with present doubts, until fi nally hope for 

a positive future prevails. The dense tonality of the 

music marks, in tune with the lyrics, numerous and 

varied shades of mood, ranging from melancholy 

wistfulness to a powerful upturn. An immensely 

multilayered, romantically inspired and moving choral 

piece!

Andrea Figallo 

She Walks in Beauty 


She Walks in Beauty, Lord Byron’s romantic love 

poem written in 1815, in an original and impressive 

musical interpretation by Andrea Figallo, the bass 

singer of the well-known vocal group The Flying 

Pickets! Starting from an expressive, archaic sounding 

bass phrase, the work develops into a musical experience 

of great stylistic, harmonic and tonal diversity. Figallo 

skilfully combines popular and jazz elements with the 

language of classical Romantic music and with new 

sounds to produce a homo-geneous and powerfully 

expressive choral composition.

E. Bosio, Never More will the Wind � SATB � © 2008 HELBLING, Rum/Innsbruck � Esslingen HI-C6038 

Erik Bosio 

Come Back Home 


With humming and vocals, Erik Bosio has fashioned 

in Come Back Home a highly atmospheric arch of 

wistful, gently melancholic and pensive melodic 

phrases. The focal point of the piece is the imploring 

plea to the beloved: “Where are you, darling? Can’t 

you see I sit here alone? Please, come back home. 

Can’t you feel how cold it is outside? My arms are 

waiting for you.” After an outburst of emotion – the 

one point at which the music turns to forte – there 

remains fi nally, at the close, the initial humming. 

Whether or not the wish is fulfi lled is something that 

Bosio leaves unresolved.

Erik Bosio 

Never More will the Wind 


The theme of Hilda Dolittle’s poem Never more will 

the Wind is the loss of a loved one. Expressive solos 

combine with one-voice passages and dissonant tones, 

which then dissolve only to recombine into new harmonies 

to produce an emotional and atmospherically 

dense musical language. A tone cluster on the word 

fl own forms the climax of this development, before the 

musical action sinks again and fades into nothingness. 

A deeply moving choral composition.

Where‘er You Walk 


(also available SSAA and Piano) 

The atmospheric, gently melancholic aria Where’er You 

Walk from George Frideric Handel’s secular oratorio 

Semele became a popular recital piece well beyond 

the shores of England. By his successful arrangement, 

subtly in keeping with Handel’s music, yet still easy to 

sing, Gwyn Arch has now made this impressive music 

accessible to choirs.

Silent Worship 


(also available SSAA and Piano) 

With his lyrics Silent Worship, Arthur Somervell made 

George Frideric Handel’s aria Non lo dirò col labbro 

from his opera Tolomeo highly popular, and not only 

in Britain. Working with this version, Gwyn Arch 

has created a moving choral arrangement which, no 

less than the piano accompaniment, accentuates the 

expressive melody in a fashion which is most discreet 

and thus, for that very reason, particularly effective.

Art Thou Troubled 


(also available SSA and Piano) 

HI-C6138 

Art Thou Troubled is a song which extols the healing 

powers of music. Thus music is the “source of all 

gladness” and will “heal thy sadness,” as it calls to us 

with “voice divine.” The delightful melody has enjoyed 

unbroken popularity to the present day. Under its 

original Italian title, Dove sei, amato ben, it formed part 

of George Frideric Handel’s opera Rodelinda, which he 

composed for the Royal Academy of Music in 1725. 

Gwyn Arch here presents a sensitive reworking of this 

aria for choir and piano.

G. F. Handel (1685–1759), 


Lascia ch’io pianga 



Shortly after his arrival in London in the year 1710, 

George Frideric Handel composed, in only 14 days, his 

opera Rinaldo. The fi rst performance in February 1711 

was a huge success, and the aria Lascia ch’io Pianga 

is one of the greatest favourites with sopranos, with 

the music refl ecting as it does, in impressive form, the 

content of the sorrowful and melancholy lyrics. In 

Gwyn Arch’s arrangement, this composition has been 

transformed into a rewarding concert piece for choirs. 

The piano accompaniment takes its lead in every 

respect from the original.

Trad. Mexico, arranged by Gwyn Arch 

Cielito Lindo 



The cheerful song Cielito Lindo, the origins of which 

point towards Spain, became a kind of second 

national anthem for Mexicans, both at home and 

abroad. Gwyn Arch’s lively and light-hearted 

choral arrangement with English lyrics lives up 

to this enormous popularity and makes the song 

accessible to even wider circles.

Trad. Mexico, arranged by Gwyn Arch 

La Cucaracha 



Although in early 20th century Mexico it was a 

popular revolutionary song, in recent times, La Cucaracha 

has also been happily sung as a song for 

children. In tune with the many modifi cations 

to the content, Gwyn Arch, in his choral arrangement, 

uses ironically pointed lyrics in German, English and 

Spanish. In this form, the piece shows itself to be 

cheerful, bantering and light-hearted.

Trad. Africa, arranged by Gwyn Arch 

Jikela emaweni sia hamba 



This popular West African folk song will always be 

associated with the internationally renowned South 

African singer and civil rights activist Miriam Makeba, 

who recorded it as long ago as 1960 in New York. The 

lyrics, which she sang in Xhosa tell of young men fi ghting 

with sticks on the bank of a river. By contrast, Stuart 

Smith’s new English lyrics tell of children at play, 

who as part of their game sing the praises of the sun, 

the moon and the stars. In his arrangement, Gwyn Arch 

has turned this traditional African song into an easyto-sing 

g choral piece with a typical “African feel”.

Trad. Africa, arranged by Gwyn Arch 

Malaika 



The title of the African traditional song Malaika 

is Swahili for “My angel”, and the song achieved 

international fame through the South African singer 

Miriam Makeba. Numerous other performers have 

taken up the piece and aroused the enthusiasm of 

their audiences with this tender love song. These new 

English lyrics by Stuart Smith tell the sad story of a 

young man who feels unable to marry his beloved because 

he is too poor. Gwyn Arch’s choral arrangement 

has produced an impressive rendering, full of gentle 

humour, of the dialogue between the two lovers.

Yiddish Trad., arranged by Gwyn Arch 

Hava Nagilah 



In Gwyn Arch’s choral arrangement, Hava Nagilah 

shows itself rhythmically powerful and charged 

with energy. The accentuated piano accompaniment, 

the changes of key, the permanent acceleration 

of the tempo and the increasing volume result 

in a build-up of tension right until the close. A 

piece whose electrifying effect will have the audience 

jumping out of their seats.

Yiddish Trad., arranged by Gwyn Arch 

Tum Balalaika 



In this version for choir and piano, Tum Balalaika 

shows itself playful and dancing, yet at the same 

time a little melancholy. Several times, Gwyn Arch 

sets female and male voices in opposition to each 

other as independent singing groups, and on the 

piano, thirds passages, eighth scales and staccati 

provide a richly varied drive. A moving and 

atmospheric choral arrangement of this well-known 

Russian Yiddish folk song, with English, German and 

Yiddish lyrics.

Trad. Russia, arranged by Gwyn Arch 

The Little Birch Tree 



Gwyn Arch presents this well-known Russian folk 

song with English lyrics and in a highly original 

fashion. Numerous effects like the impressive musical 

representation of the hoof beats of the horses, the 

accentuated dissonances on the word colliding 

and the glissandi imitating the sounds of horses 

are a constant source of surprise. A many faceted 

entertainment for both performers and audience.

Kalinka 



This popular Russian folksong now in a rousing 

arrangement by Gwyn Arch with English lyrics! 

Several alternations between the choral and solo 

parts, the division of the melody between differing 

voices and the constant new accompanying fi gures 

on the piano create a verve which drives the arrangement 

forward, thus making Kalinka into an effective 

concert piece!

HI-C6229 

Hine e Hine is a famous Maori lullaby. Although it is 

often described as a folk song, it was actually a composition 

by a leading Maori contralto who, after studying 

singing in Australia, came to London in 1901 for 

further voice training. For professional purposes she 

used a shortened version of her mother’s name and became 

known as The Princess Te Rangi Pai. She made 

her début in Liverpool in 1901 and thereafter was in 

constant demand for recital and oratorio work. She returned 

to New Zealand in 1905 and made several tour, 

achieving particular acclaim for Hine e Hine.

Pokarekare Ana 



Pokarekare Ana is perhaps the most popular of the 

Maori love songs. It is claimed by Maori people from 

four separate areas of New Zealand as originating 

in their district. Ancient Maori music was mostly in 

chant-like form, particularly war chants called Haka. 

However, Pokarekare Ana is very different and reveals 

the infl uence of mid-19 th century European settlers, 

particularly the British. Through them, the Maori was 

introduced to European music, especially of the more 

popular kind. He made it his own, embracing European 

harmony and the popular song formula.

Christmas Bells 


Written in 1864 under the impact of the American Civil 

War, Henry W. Longfellow’s poem Christmas Bells 

articulates the yearning for peaceful coexistence. 

In Michael Aschauer’s setting, the tone-painting 

represented Christmas bells announce peace to the 

world in a style almost reminiscent of folk songs. The 

sombre tones which suddenly interrupt to give graphic 

expression to humanity’s doubt fade away again – 

it is the bells which speak the truth and reaffi rm the 

protection of God’s omnipresence. This choral piece 

with its subtle refl ection of the text and its captivating 

melody will not fail to affect the audience in 

Christmas concerts and religious services.

The Singers 


God sent his singers upon earth … This richly varied 

setting of Henry W. Longfellow’s poem is characterised 

by a rousing frame section which conveys God’s intentions. 

In the middle section, each of the three singers – 

a young, a grown and an old man, who symbolise entertainment, 

encouragement and instruction – is given 

an independent theme: a lyrically charming soprano 

melody is followed by a gripping tenor theme, while 

the third theme sets in, solemn and measured, in the 

bass. In a recitative section, a solo quartet convincingly 

presents the debate which is the best, preparing with 

increasing suspense the return of the frame section. 

An immediately appealing and melodically captivating 

choral piece for a variety of occasions.

Giulio Caccini (1551–1618), 


Ave Maria 

SATB and Piano/Organ 

(also available SSA and Piano/Organ) 

For Giulio Caccini, a member of the Florentine 

Camerata and one of the most important personalities 

behind the emergence of opera, the two words of 

the title, Ave Maria, were suffi cient to create a 

sensitive musical composition. Gwyn Arch has 

fashioned his choral arrangement in an equally 

highly sensitive manner: the haunting melody is 

embellished, without being overloaded, with a small 

number of subtly placed counterparts and slight 

variations in the piano or organ accompaniment.

Jubilate – Praise the Lord 

SATB a cappella and Solo 

Based on a call-response structure, Markus Detterbeck 

has developed a dialogue between soloist and choir 

which is characterized by rhythmic drive. A dynamic 

mid-section provides a musical contrast before a return 

to the rhythmic motifs of the beginning progressively 

intensifi es the piece. Elements of Afro-American 

music are skilfully combined with a polyphonically 

imitative phraseology. A powerful coda brings to a 

close this effective composition for religious services and 

concerts.

For choral singing at all levels of ability 

HCCS is aimed at the enthusiastic amateur choir 

from the concert choir to the small group of singers 

from the church choir to the gospel choir 

from the youth choir to the women’s and male-voice choir 

The repertoire – mainly for choir a cappella – takes motivating account of the abilities and limitations of amateur 

singers of various levels of ability, from very easy (Level 1) to highly demanding (Level 5). 

Choral music in practical individual editions 

HCCS offers a diverse range of compositions and arrangements in the form of indivi-dual editions for a variety of 

choir formations: 

for mixed voices (red editions) 

for treble voices (blue editions) 

for male voices (green editions). 

All individual editions of the choral pieces, also referred to as octavos, are sheet music that complies with internationally 

recognised quality standards and include a piano part for rehearsals. 

In addition, the sheet music provides valuable information about the respective piece, together with guidance on 

pronunciation and hints on interpretation. 

LORENZ MAIERHOFER is the general editor of this series.

Fanfare a cappella 



A lively opening piece for many different occasions, 

composed by Lorenz Maierhofer. The lyrics, with their 

scat syllables and the dynamic body percussion – for

Wedding Bells 


The sound of the organ version of the wedding march 

from Felix Mendelssohn’s A Midsummer Night’s 

Dream has accompanied countless numbers of happy 

couples on their way to the altar. Lorenz Maierhofer 

has written lyrics for this well-known instrumental 

piece and turned them into an a cappella choral 

version that will certainly be a new highlight for 

singing at weddings.

The Seasons of Our Love 


A poetically moving choral composition by Lorenz 

Maierhofer that is characterised both musically and 

lyrically by a deep emotional intensity. Here, the 

passing of the seasons becomes a symbol for the 

fl ourishing of a relationship, from its fi rst tender 

burgeoning, through the time of its full blossoming 

until, in mature years, the partners can enjoy the fruits 

together: “May they be blessed, the seasons of our 

love!”

R. Clemens Schäfer 

A Friend 


HCCS-6092 

A romantic pop ballad which, with great sensitivity, 

takes as its theme the importance in a person’s life of a 

friend. This new composition by R. Clemens Schäfer in 

typical a cappella style is ideal for performance as the 

closing piece of a concert or as an encore.

Good Night 


William Shakespeare’s powerful words of farewell 

spoken by the lovers in Romeo and Juliet are 

combined with music by Lorenz Maierhofer to create 

a song of eventide and farewell of a special nature. 

Musical density and tones in close harmony that take 

their inspiration from jazz express the sweet pain of 

separation and the hope of an early reunion.

Conquest of Paradise 

SATB a cappella, optionally Solo 


Musically powerful archaic forms of pop are the 

defi ning characteristic of this hit, which achieved 

worldwide popularity as a fi lm soundtrack and through 

its use as music to accompany combatants at international 

boxing events on their way to the ring. 

Lorenz Maierhofer has arranged this compulsive piece 

with its dynamic bolero rhythms for choir. No matter 

whether it is performed a cappella or with instrumental 

accompaniment, this choral piece will be a distinctive 

opener for concerts, festivities and events.

Que sera, sera 




Originally composed for an Alfred Hitchcock fi lm, this

Life is a Tango 

SATB a cappella, 

optionally with instrumental 

accompaniment 

Tango music is characterised by deep emotions, by 

feelings of joy and torment – just as life is. Lorenz 

Maierhofer has made this the theme of this groovy 

and humorous a cappella highlight with the pointed 

declaration: “Life is a tango, and tango is fun!”

Down by the Salley Gardens 


(also available SSAA) 

This song numbers among the most popular of Irish 

folk songs, and its lyrics are derived from the great 

Irish poet William Butler Yeats. Markus Detterbeck has 

composed a moving arrangement of the piece, skilfully 

incorporating the typical Irish sounds of the bagpipe 

drone. It can be sung a cappella or with accompaniment.

I Sing Holy 



HCCS-6213 

Whether in religious services or in concerts, this choral 

piece, taken from the gospel Mass Body & Soul, is 

already a fi xture in the repertoire of many a choir. In 

this choral edition, which for the fi rst time includes 

a German version of the lyrics, the song will allow 

the message of the glory of God to ring out time and 

again.

Hambani kahle 



“Go in peace” is the translated form of the Zulu message 

of this South African song. Lorenz Maierhofer has 

expanded this valediction both musically and lyrically 

to create a choral piece that can be sung not only all 

year round as a song of farewell but also as a song for 

Advent or more specifi cally as a hymn to the light of 

peace. It is suitable for performance in concerts, on 

ceremonial occasions and in religious services.

Music: Susanne Schempp 

Wolfgang A. Mozart (1756–1791), 


Silence is Flowing 



It was a melody taken from Mozart’s “Viennese 

Sonatinas” which inspired Lorenz Maierhofer to 

create this choral song with its classical charm. The 

musically and lyrically peaceful fl ow of the piece 

speaks of the sense of divine protection to be found 

in the river of silence whose clear waters carry us 

ever and again homewards. To be sung on contemplative 

ceremonial occasions or in concerts, with either 

German or English g lyrics.

Aber dich gibt‘s nur einmal

Heart of Gold 

by Nilsen Brothers – Pepe Ederer, 


In 1965, the German group ”Nilsen Brothers” 

won the hearts of pop fans with a mellifluous 

catchy tune that overflowed with love and 

yearning. Even today, this evergreen still remains 

hugely popular – in both its English and 

German versions. With his easy-to-sing choral 

arrangement and tongue-in-cheek humour, 

Lorenz Maierhofer has brought the charm of the 

powerful and expressive original to the choral 

platform.

Barbar‘ Ann 

by Fred Fassert,

Meeting Yodel 

by Lorenz Maierhofer

yodelling composition with German and English 

lyrics, the yodel, with its solo voice and with 

effects such as vocussion, evelops into a jazzy, 

groovy concert piece.
