The “Grace Kelly” challenge on TikTok involved users harmonizing to the hit 2007 Mika song using multilayered tracking to overlap their vocal lines one on top of the other, moving up the scale until the final, high notes which complete the exercise. This collection from Pop maestro Roger Emerson imagines nine more of these challenges with certified “bangers”, arranged in 4 to 6 parts for your choir! The Performance Kit includes 10 collections along with free access to the ChoralMix lessons for each song online (sharable with all members of the choir) for a complete digital interface with separate vocal lines for learning!

Kim André Arnesen's Stabat Mater breathes new life into the 13th-century Latin hymn, which portrays the Virgin Marys suffering at the crucifixion of her son, Jesus Christ. Amongst the traditional stanzas are two movements setting contemporary poems: Euan Tait's A Mother's Prayer, which was commissioned for this work, and a moving poem written by a child hospitalised with cancer. Arnesen's characteristic rich harmonies and memorable melodic lines combine to create a powerful and emotional major new work.
This vocal score, which includes accompaniment for organ, can also be used for performing the version of Stabat Mater with chamber orchestra accompaniment available on hire from Boosey & Hawkes. A version for mixed voices (SATB) is also available.
Kim André Arnesen is one of the most frequently performed composers from Norway today. He grew up in Trondheim where he was a chorister in the Nidaros Cathedral Boys' Choir, later being educated at the Music Conservatory in Trondheim. As a composer, he had his first performance at the age of 18 with the boys' choir. Since then he has written music that has been performed by choirs all over the world and piano pieces that have topped Apple Music's classical charts. Recordings of Kim's works include the Infinity collection on Naxos and the Holy Spirit Mass on Decca. Alongside choral gems including Flight Song and Ubi caritas et amor his recent output has featured larger-scale works such as Stabat Mater and The Stranger.

Leokadiya Kashperova (1872–1940), hitherto consigned to a footnote in musical history as Stravinsky's piano teacher, is undergoing rediscovery. A double graduate of the St Petersburg Conservatoire, she emerged as a virtuoso pianist and composer in the romantic tradition. She was associated with some of the great musicians of her day, including Balakirev and Auer. She performed in both Germany and the UK in the 1900s, but her career petered out after 1920.
Following her graduation from the St Petersburg Conservatoire Kashperova became personally acquainted with the poet Yakov Polonsky and often attended his literary gatherings. When he died in 1898 Kashperova responded by setting his enchanting and mystical 'legend' To a Child in Answer to the Question: Where Do the Stars Come From? The baritone soloist takes the role of the father or grandfather who endeavours to answer the riddle posed in the title. He decides to relate 'a tale of old, an Eastern legend' which recounts how, long ago, the flowers would weep, so afraid were they of the dark. In response an archangel (soprano solo) descends to Earth and is so moved by the flowers anguished appeal, she gathers 'all their tears in chalice gold / And bears them up to God in Heav'n above'. The baritone narrates the final scene as the Almighty casts the tears across the firmament, thus creating the constellations. The childs question is answered, and the peaceful domesticity of the opening scene returns.
