Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. This enchanting melody is from the fourth movement of Bach’s Cantata 140 which was composed in 1731 using the parable of the wise and foolish virgins as the text. The work is beautiful in its simplicity with only three melodic lines, demonstratingBach’s counterpoint at its best. For greatest effect it is suggested that the trumpets and tr…

WAB 24. Par BRUCKNER ANTON. What does early Bruckner sound like' The Magnificat in B flat major casts a completely unexpected light on the young composer, on the threshold of composing his great church works. Around 5 minutes in length, and in the spirit of Mozart, it was written in 1852 for a service at the Monastery Church of St. Florian. With its concise form and scoring for small forces it off…

Choralkantate. Par HERZOGENBERG HEINRICH VON. Reprint of the first edition. Friedrich Spitta recommended to Herzogenberg that he set Gerhard Tersteegen’s text “Gott ist Gegenwärtig” on the occasion of that poet’s 200th birthday.

Next we hear the complete psalm melody in the trombones, interrupted by passages full of dance in the discant. This is continued in a lively Allegro Molto, in which the psalm melody emerges in the trump…

Par JANACEK LEOS. One of Leos Janàcek 's last chamber music works was written in the autumn of 1926 at the suggestion of the pianist Otakar Hollmann (1894& 1967), an invalid from the First World War. Like his contemporary Paul Wittgenstein, Hollmann urged composers to write something for Piano left hand; he succeeded in winning over Bohuslav Martinu, Erwin Schulhoff and Janàcek to do this. Janàcek…

Par DE HAAN JACOB. This composition is based on a passacaglia theme, in which artistic perfection, symphonic drama and oriental melody lines play a role. The passacaglia is originally a dance made up of a series of variations above a bass line constantly present as an ostinato. It is not in this sense that the 'Symphonic Variations' are in the passacaglia form but in the sense of the open form of …
