Yellow Bird well known during the 1950's thogh Norman Luboff's recording and published SATB choral arrangement, using words written by world-famous song writers Marilyn and Alan Berdman. This new arrangement for TB choir and flute (or clarinet) makes this familiar melody accessible to a wide range of male choirs. Dan Davison's inventive new adaptation of this Norman Luboff classic makes a fun Carribean-style piece accessible to male school choirs. Island rhythms, engaging lyrics and contained ranges make this a delight to teach and perform.

Faure was not drawn to compose a Requiem because of the death of a loved one, even though his mother had died during the early stages of composition and his father had passed away two years before. Faure's composition does not set his Reuiem to the standard liturgical text, instead adding a lyrical Pie Jesu and transcendent Paradisum, and omitting the Dies Irae and Tuba Mirum - which, for most composers, are opportunities to demonstrate the dramatic possibilities available with the choral and orchestral forces. As a result the mood of the Requiem is relatively calm and peaceful and often referred to as a lullaby of death.

Faure's unconventional composition has become a firm favourite in the repertoire and available here is the vocal score, for Soloists and SATB Choir with Piano Accompaniment, as edited by Desmond Ratcliffe.

Dietrich Buxtehude (urodzony prawdopodobnie ok. 1637 roku) to duński lub niemiecki kompozytor i organista działający w XVII wieku, czyli w okresie baroku. Niewiele wiadomo o jego życiu. Znany jest m. in. fakt, że jego ojciec - Hans Buxtehude - również był organistą. Uważa się, że twórczość Dietricha Buxtehudego wywarła ogromny wpływ na styl kompozytorski Jana Sebastiana Bacha. Podstawę dzieł organowych Buxtehudego (licznych fug, fantazji, toccat, przygrywek), podobnie jak utworów Bacha, stanowi chorał protestancki. Ponadto tytuł oraz forma licznych "Preludiów i fug" Buxtehudego zostały zapożyczone przez Bacha. Prezentowana publikacja zawiera dwadzieścia cztery preludia chorałowe Buxtehudego m. in. oparte o melodię chorałów "Nun komm, der Heiden Heiland" oraz "Ich ruf zu dir, Herr Jesu Christ". Nad pięciolinią zamieszczono fragmenty tekstów chorałów w języku niemieckim.
