D.S. Isaac: Four Motets & Oxford Canticles
Arranged for beginner to advanced levels, these pieces can be used to teach skills such as vocal independence. Techniques introduced within the first piece are built upon in subsequent motets, leading to a pedagogical progression with increasing difficulty. Works can be performed by a full choir or a quartet of four voices.
Polyphony is a beautiful and historical part of worship services the world over. Isaac seeks to revitalize the genre within the modern church choir by providing ensembles with texts that remain relevant and inspiring, while still paying homage to revered motet composers William Byrd and Thomas Tallis. These works breathe new life into a genre close to the heart of many denominations, nodding towards tradition while remaining unafraid of contemporary harmony and choral techniques.
