Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1203852 By Adrian Gagiu. By Adrian Gagiu. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Baroque,Christian,Classical,Sacred. 133 pages. Adrian Gagiu #802408. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1203852). Neo-Baroque, medium-sized, large scale composition for 4 vocal soloists, mixed chorus in 4 to 8 parts, and full orchestra with organ, setting the traditional canticle text, mostly with church modes and alternating polyphonic intricacies with solemn, intense or profound moments. It would work both for worship and in concert, as it includes powerful outbursts, elaborate counterpoint, and also soft and humble moments, while avoiding any harsh excesses of modernism. Total duration: 46 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The audio sample is the 5th movement. The first two choruses, in 4 parts, follow the general outline of the Baroque French overture: a solemn introduction followed by an elaborate fugue. The 3rd movement is a solemn arioso for bass, followed by a grand chorus in 4 and 5 parts. The 4th movement is an arioso for tenor, followed by a complex chorus in 5 parts. The 5th movement is a suite of two ariosos for alto and soprano, followed by a grand, but brief chorus in 6 parts, and then by a mysterious instrumental evocation of the Last Judgment. The 6th movement is a vocal quartet a cappella, based on a well-known Orthodox hymn and alternated with a refrain for chorus in 7 parts and organ, then followed by a grand choral complex ended in humble supplication. The final, 7th movement is a grand motet for double chorus and orchestra, with four themes more and more intricately combined, up to the majestic coda treated in quadruple counterpoint.

Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004700). Prelude, Fugue and Chorale in B minor for organ, op. 72 (2018, revised 2019), is an energetic composition in Neo-Classical/Neo-Baroque style. It starts as a dramatic but brooding Prelude, mostly with Impressionistic, seventh chord harmonies and with allusions at Bach's great Fantasia and Fugue in G minor BWV 542, ending with a very short quotation from Carl Orff's De temporum fine comoedia, which provides also the (bi)tonal structure for this entire composition.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1150520 Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Baroque,Chamber. 45 pages. Adrian Gagiu #750696. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1150520). Handel’s great set of 12 Concerti grossi (= Grand Concertos, in the first edition) op. 6 are somehow a bit related in spirit, through their power and diversity, with Beethoven’s string quartets. Therefore, here they are arranged for the more ‘abstract’ and ‘timeless’ medium of the string quartet, allowing also for an addition to the repertoire of the respective ensembles. Articulation, tempo and dynamics indications were specified or added where needed, and all the trills were indicated to start with the upper auxiliary note, not only according to the Baroque performance practice but also fitting to the melodic contour. The movements of Concerto grosso in A minor, op. 6 no. 4: 1. Larghetto affettuoso – solemn, melancholy and broad; 2. Allegro – an energetic, syncopated and somber fugue; 3. Largo – a sublime, soft and simple sarabande in F major, with walking bass; 4. Allegro – restless and dramatic. Total duration 10 min. The mp3 audio clip is the third movement.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004721 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Classical. Score and parts. 48 pages. Adrian Gagiu #6204599. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004721). Beethoven's Romance No. 1 in G major for violin and orchestra op. 40 (c. 1801) was transposed in C major, arranged in the new key and appropriate tempo, and expanded to form a rondo Finale fit for his unfinished Concerto in C major, of which only about a half of a clean copy of the first movement survived as WoO 5 (1791-1792). Also, a newly composed solo cadenza was now inserted. Almost surely, the Romance No. 2 in F major op. 50 (c. 1791?) was intended as the slow movement of the Concerto (it has virtually the same scoring as WoO 5, the manuscript bears no title, and there is a thematic relation to WoO 5). The Romance No. 1 in G major was probably intended as a replacement or alternate slow movement, but it is his only composition relatable to the Concerto fragment, so I adapted it as conjecture Finale for a complete performing version of the Concerto.

Piano Solo - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1444308 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Classical. Score. 5 pages. Adrian Gagiu #1024222. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1444308). In 1797-1798, Beethoven sketched a piano sonata in E flat major which remained unfinished, yet its simple, Haydnesque Finale is the most elaborate movement. For this world premiere realization (suggested by Armando Orlandi at the Centro Ricerche Musicali www.lvbeethoven.it and dedicated to them), only completion of harmony was needed, as well as a few editorial choices to delete some unneeded asymetry and to repeat the codetta of the theme in the end with a different, more stable harmonization. Useful for people interested in studying Beethoven's sketches and the evolution of his style, as well as for intermediate piano students. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The mp3 recording was made on a Walter fortepiano (1790). Total duration 6 min.
