Kantate zu Exaudi. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The cantata 'Sie werden euch in den Bann tun', part of Bach's first Leipzig annual cycle of cantatas and the earlier of two compositions of the same name, was probably first performed on the last Sunday after Ascension in May 1724. The text is concerned with suffering and the Antichrist, both of which are overcome by Christian faith. By employing all f…

Score and Parts. Par CROCKETT DONALD. Commissioned by Caramoor Music Festival in New York and premiered July 14, 2017 by the Argus Quartet, this work is in no small part a response to this quartet's sense of adventure and expressive emotional range. Inspired by two end-of-civilization novels the composer was reading prior to composing the work, the quartet unfolds in a single movement, loosely bas…

BR-CPEB D 3 (Wq 240) - Oratorio. Par BACH CARL PHILIPP EMMANUEL. Of the three oratorios which Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach composed when he was music director in Hamburg, Die Auferstehung und Himmelfahrt Jesu is particularly intended to create splendor and effect with its use of magnificent-sounding trumpets and timpani. Bach liked this work very much and had it published in 1787, the year before his…

Par PURCELL HENRY. This, the first of Purcell's Operas for the professional stage, is edited in Vocal Score format by Margaret Laurie. The first performance of this work was produced by Betterton, with great success, at the Dorset Garden Theatre in June 1690. The text was an adaption, almost certainly by Betterton himself, of Flethcer and Massinger's play, 'The Prophetess'. / Opéra-opérette / Rép…

Par STRAUSS RICHARD. New practical edition of “Two Songs” op. 26 by Richard Strauss for voice and piano. It comprises “Frühlingsgedränge“ (“Voices of Spring“) and “O wärst du mein!“ (“O, wert thou mine!“) based on poems by Nikolaus Lenau. Strauss composed these songs from 1891-1894.

Strauss composed these songs in 1889/90. He often accompanied his wife, the soprano Pauline Strauss-de Ahna, on the piano and worked with her on interpretations of his piano songs.

Par VAUGHAN WILLIAMS RALPH. With a text from Revelations, this oratorio is an awesome musical vision of the fall of Babylon and the new heaven and earth - apocalyptic, incandescent and of an intensity unique in the composer's entire output. His personal favourite among all his choral works, it still packs a powerful punch today.  / Répertoire / Baryton et Ténor

5 Selected Songs. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. The only known chamber music by Gustav Mahler is a movement for piano quartet from his student days at the Conservatorium in Vienna (1875-1878). The present new arrangements by Ronald Kornfeil go some way to addressing this gap while they also enrich the repertoire with pieces that are very interesting and demanding in their own right. The composer's rich song …

Score Parties. Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. When Beethoven wrote these three quartets he was 15 years old and a composition student of Christian Gottlob Neefe in Bonn. They reveal a strong Mozartian influence while the brilliant piano writing already gives a sense of the mature Beethoven. He may conceivably have written the works for the wealthy Mastiaux family in Bonn, as he gave piano lessons to …

Par PURCELL HENRY. This delightful string trio is straightforward technically, and will be fun to play for student and amateur alike. The ?Sonatas of III Parts by Henry Purcell? were first published in 1683. A facsimile of the first edition was published in 1975. This arrangement follows the facsimile faithfully, simply writing out the first violin and cello parts of the trio sonata, with the seco…

Par MARTIN MATTHEW. Haec Dies (This is the day which the Lord hath made) is a lively and rhythmic piece. It was commissioned by the choir of Clare College, Cambridge and has recently been recorded by them on the Harmonia Mundi label. It sets a joyful Latin text suitable for Eastertide and, with very little divisi, is within the reach of proficient choirs. For SATB with Organ. Part of Faber Music’s…
