This month I would like to recommend Karl Jenkins' Stabat Mater; A major new choral and orchestral work from the composer of Adiemus and The Armed Man. The 13th-century Latin sequence, set by many famous composers of the past, receives a fresh expression and intensity in Karl Jenkins's setting. By turns dramatic and reflective, Stabat Mater will be eagerly seized on by Jenkins fans everywhere. Suitable for choirs of intermediate standard upwards.

This month I would like to recommend 'Eastern European Fiddle Tunes' by Pete Cooper. Following the success of 'Irish Fiddle Solos' and 'English Fiddle Tunes', Pete Cooper's new book contains a rich selection of tunes from many Eastern European countries. The material is wide-ranging in complexity, including very simple pieces as well as many more challenging tunes requiring intermediate to advanced technique. As with the other books in the Schott World Music series, a CD with all the pieces performed by Pete Cooper accompanies the collection

This month I recommended A la dolce ombra de le belle frondi. Taken from his Fourth Book of Madrigals, this simple yet effective choral work displays the natural ability that composer Gavin Bryars has for choral writing. Especially suited to amateur choirs, this 10 minute work is highly flexible and has endless possibilities!
