Fassung für Orchester. Par SCHOENBERG ARNOLD. Composed between the spring of 1906 and July of the same year, the Chamber Symphony op. 9 for 15 solo instruments represents a point of culmination in Schoenberg's artistic development, the consequences of which not even the composer himself initially recognised.' Ulrich Krämer 'The 1914 version is not chamber music - however its sound is simply less …

Vesperpsalm. Par HASSE JOHANN ADOLF. The Laudate pueri was composed between 1735 and 1749 for the Ospedale degl’Incurabili in Venice. Since the Ospedale was an institution for the musical training of gifted girls and young women, the vocal parts are scored for female voices. As Director of Music at the Saxon-Polish Court of Dresden, Hasse was also responsible for church music, and therefore he arr…

Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. During his summer vacation in 1891 Brahms composed six vocal quartets which would appear in print later that autumn. This set, to become Brahms’s opus 112, clearly falls into two groups. The first two in the melancholic tone of the poems Sehnsucht (Longing) and Nächtens (At Night) by Franz Kugler come upon four Zigeunerlieder (Gypsy Lieder) bursting with vitality and power. Th…

Par SCHLEE THOMAS DANIEL. For composer Thomas Daniel Schlee, the 'intimate sound possibilities of the string quartet” have the potential 'to formulate an, albeit 'only' individual, solution to the somewhat forlorn condition of new art music within society that we are unfortunately experiencing today.” Schlee's Fourth String Quartet opens with a pure C major sound, out of which he develops a harmo…

Par SIXTEN FREDRIK. This piece of medium difficulty for eight mixed voices is based on a text of the King James Version that is more than two thousand years old and has spoken to the composer in a way that seems timeless. Hope and the possibility of redemption have existed within the human condition throughout the ages. It is up to us to recognize these signs of renewal and see ourselves as a conn…

This is a bold reimagining of Hildegard's chant, both tune and text. Actively quoting the source material, DiOrio's setting takes Hildegard's music as a launching point from which to imagine new sonic possibilities. This piece is meant to be experienced in the round, as the voices surround the audience and attempt to create an enactment of Hildegard's visions. Duration: ca. 5 minutes. / Choeur Mix…

Kantate Zum Sonntag Palmarum. Par TELEMANN GEORG PHILIPP. This cantata belongs to the annual cycle “Musicalisches Lob Gottes in der Gemeine des Herrn' printed in 1744, from which the “Biblische Sprüche' [see p. 12] are also taken. As with the choruses, in the arias Telemann allows for a great deal of freedom in the forces employed, whether with regard to the octave ranges of the voices, or the opt…

Par MAGALIF EUGENE. Ave Maria for Flute Choir by Eugene Magalif. From the composer: 'The creation of a new Ave Maria requires a certain amount of courage from composers. There are many versions of Ave Maria in the world and it is very risky to compete with Schubert, Bach or Caccini (Vavilov). I did not begin to compose another aria, but composed a polyphonic version, in which the intertwining voic…
