Offertorium. Tenor-Arie Mit Chor. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. In contrast to his earlier short church works, some of which rely stylistically on baroque and classical models, in this work Schubert has discovered his own personal and romantically coloured church music idiom. Elements of this new church style include iteration which creates atmosphere, the subtle introduction of wind instrument, and sounds …

Par VAN DER ROOST JAN. From Ancient Times is a major work for brass band, inspired largely by the music of the Franco-Flemish School of the Renaissance. Hints of Gregorian chant and middle age dances pay tribute to music from even earlier times. The foundation of this spectacular work rests on truly ‘ancient times’ while the tonal language is of a much more modern nature! / Niveau : 6 / Pièce de…

Anthem. Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. As in many of his other works, Handel drew upon earlier compositions of his own for 'O praise the Lord with one consent'. The arias in this anthem are brief and straightforward by comparison with the arias in Handel's Italian operas./ Répertoire / Solo ST (T) B, Choeur SATB, Hautbois, 2 Violons et

for bassoon, violoncello and piano or two violoncellos and piano. Par BELLA MATE. A special piece - a special story: In 2020, a renowned architect approached a composer to create a new piece of music for his daughter's wedding, which the happy father could give to the young couple as a wedding present. In earlier eras of private patronage, such a story would have been natural, but in the 21st cent…

Par RAVEL MAURICE. Maurice Ravel (1875-1937) is often considered, after the death of Debussy in 1918, to be the leading French composer of the 1920’s and 30’s. Earlier in his career, he had caused consternation in the highly conservative pre-war French musical establishment, with his unmistakable and highly original style. His most famous work is his Bolero , which marks the pinnacle of his compos…

The title of this piece comes from 'Celtic Cross' by Norman MacCaig, a poem that brings to life the symbols of an earlier time, carved in stone, entwined and plaited in abstract forms. The idea of a coiling serpent and the image of the coiled horn also came together in my mind. The opening phrase of the piece is responsible for much of the musical material for the whole piece, a strong and vibrant…

Es-Dur. Par HASSE JOHANN ADOLF. Two complete settings of the Requiem by Johann Adolf Hasse are extant. Hasse composed the Requiem in C major on the death of the Elector Friedrich August 11 of Saxony. Only a few weeks later his son the elector Friedrich Christian also died. Presumably for this reason Hasse wrote the Requiem in D flat, and because of the shortage of time he used the Sanctus and Agnu…

1722 And 1725 (Urtext - Paperback). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This edition follows the widely popular selection of pieces (often simply known as 'the” Notebook for Anna Magdalena Bach) including all items except the technically more challenging French Suites and Partitas, which Bach later reworked and published separately. However, our new publication for the first time incorporates also the rele…

Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The series of symphonies in the New Schubert Edition is a milestone of modern scholarly-critical editing, lending these works a transparency lacking in earlier editions of a more romantic bent. The eight symphonies trace Schubert 's artistic evolution from the First Symphony, which develops a theme from Beethoven's Eroica, to the Mozartean Fifth and the romanticism of the 'Grea…

Kantate Zum Reformationsfest (In Der Bearbeitung Von Wilhelm Friedemann Bach). Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The present cantata draws on two of Bach’s earlier works. The original form was the cantata 'Alles, was von Gott geboren' [Weimar 1715, BWV 80a]. A second version [BWV 80b] was written between 1727 and 1731 in Leipzig. The instrumentation of movements 1 and 5 come from a later adaptation by Wi…

Chaconne. Par LERDAHL FRED. Chaconne (2016), for string quartet, was commissioned by the Daedalus Quartet to celebrate its 15th anniversary. The commission was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, and Aaron Copland Fund for Music. My music has a substantial history with Daedalus. I…

The Occasional Overture is a piece of two parts, the first meditative and singing with the dotted rhythms that denote grandeur, while the march is confident of victory. Handel composed the Occasional Oratorio - or cobbled it together, as some sources would have it - in the winter of 1746 and performed it almost immediately.The oratorio contained some new music and some borrowings from earlier musi…
