Recenzii

Another collection to catch my eye, ear and imagination is As You Sing . . . The items are all in English, but Ferris and Tomlinson have ranged far and wide in their search for top-quality music . . . Toby Young's vibrant 'Give me the River' includes clapping and stamping, and Sarah Quartel's unaccompanied opener needs a hand drum. Kerry Andrew gives us 'Charm' which involves whispered incantation of the names of herbs in Old English; just the sort of thing youngsters will love.
Es ist deutlich zu merken, dass hier explizite ChorkomponistInnen am Werk waren, die Stimmen sind nirgendwo durch extreme Lagen oder schwierige Sprünge überfordert. Viele der Stücke sind als Auftragswerke von Jugend- beziehungsweise M¨adchenchören etstanden, was die N¨ahe zur Praxis belegt. Die Herausgeberlnnen geben ausserdem Hinweise zur Einstudierung und Interpretation, auch hat jedes Stück eine genaue Dauerangabe, was praktisch für die Programmgestaltung ist. Der Schwierigkeitsgrad der S¨atze bewegt sich zwischen leicht und mittelschwer, es gibt keine gr¨osseren Hürden zu nehmen - insgesamt eine attraktive Erg¨anzung der Konzertliteratur sowohl für gleichstimmige Kammerchöre als uach f^"Dur gr¨ossere Formationen.
