Choral Octavo Secular Choral Octavo Sacred Choral Octavo Christmas Choral Works Secular Choral Works Sacred Choral Works Christmas Daley - Esmail O come, let us sing unto the Lord SATB & organ Vocal score 9780193869578 This is an exuberant setting of Psalm 95. A memorable rhythmic pattern is established by the organ toccata as it alternates between 4/4 and 7/8 for the outer sections of the anthem. The inner section offers a more straightforward setting of the text ending in D major, softer and a cappella. 3.5 minutes O ye who taste that Love is sweet SATB unaccompanied Vocal score 9780193541030 Digital 9780193543614 This is a warm and tender piece setting the last three verses of Christina Rossetti’s ‘What good shall my life do me?’, which encourages leading a life of love as an example for others. 3 minutes Upon Your Heart SATB unaccompanied and soli or semi-chorus Vocal score 9780193426511 Digital 9780193537392 This is a straightforward and effective anthem set to a well-known text from the Song of Solomon, reinforcing the message of love’s power to bind people together. 3 minutes Veni Creator Spiritus SATB unaccompanied Vocal score 9780193869561 This gentle, calm anthem fills a need in the repertoire for Pentecost. It begins with a statement of the traditional chant tune accompanied by a homophonic ostinato in the upper voices. The original hymn then sounds in the inner voices, and the work concludes with a restatement of the opening motifs. 2 minutes Indian-American composer Reena Esmail works between the worlds of Indian and Western classical music, and brings communities together through the creation of equitable musical spaces.
