Cheer, Boys, Cheer!
$16.00Among the rarities in the Moravian Music Foundation's collections are the only known complete sets of band books from a confederate band in the American Civil War. These were brought to Salem (now Winston-Salem, North Carolina) because the 26th North Carolina Regimental Band C.S.A. was comprised wholly of Moravian musicians from Salem. Track list and full description found below. -
Church, Rejoice!
$16.00The Moravian Lower Brass is a new outgrowth of the Moravian brass heritage, the band equivalent of the sonority of a men's chorus.

The Easter Cantata A masterful musical composition delivered exquisitely by the Bach Festival and Rollins College. The libretto of the Easter Cantata includes numerous citations from the Bible, both Old and New Testaments, woven together with hymn texts by others and original poetry. In his use of scripture, Herder sometimes quotes the Luther Bible literally, and in other cases he adapts the text to fit his narrative. -
A lovely CD by The New World String Orchestra with several fine vocalists, featuring works by Moravian composers, like Dencke, Herbst, Michael, Peter, and non-Moravian composers. As Christ was at the center of Moravian society, music was central to its worship and daily life. Music was integral to worship, and the Moravian musical liturgy was carefully organized so that, as Edward Berlin states, it had an "effect far more profound and lasting than a sermon delivered prosaically from a minister's pulpit."
