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.

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.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1038395 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. Classical. 451 pages. Adrian Gagiu #643336. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1038395). Throughout his career, Beethoven made dozens of concept sketches for many movements of symphonies, besides those for the completed nine compositions of that genre. In the period 1812-1816, mainly during the composition of the Seventh and Eighth Symphonies, there were three recurring such projected works in his sketchbooks, namely in D minor, E minor and E flat major respectively, and remarkably with sketches for more than one of their movements. The present symphony in late Classical style is based on those projects, making use of all their themes in a „combined� symphony in D minor and thus with peculiar tonal relationships. The incentive for this new work in the Classical idiom was in the quality and potential of some of the sketches, especially the one included now in the main theme of the slow movement. Some of the sketched material was subject to transpositions and adaptations to fit the formal outlook, and to editorial choices for the unclear pitches and durations. This publication includes the score and parts. The sketchbook sources for each passage are mentioned at the bottom of the score. Total duration: 36 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN. The mp3 recording is the third, slow movement.

Adrian Gagiu #6204671. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004727). Mozart's Musical Joke K.522 is arranged here by adjusting its satirical features, which were aimed at clumsy composers and performers, and thus it is transformed into a rather regular Classical composition, still with much of its whimsical character inevitably preserved (Divertimento serio, i.e. serious Divertimento).

Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1518526). Score and parts of an arrangement for string quartet of J. S. Bach's great Concerto no. 6 in B flat major from the collection known later as the Brandenburg Concertos. Bach's masterpiece is scored for two violas, two violas da gamba, cello and continuo, and probably originated as a triosonata. The present arrangement, arguably the first for string quartet, preserves the dense polyphonic textures of the original and allows for a welcome addition of great music to the repertoire of string quartet ensembles.The mp3 sample is the second movement.

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1150513 Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Baroque,Chamber. 42 pages. Adrian Gagiu #750689. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1150513). 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 F major, op. 6 no. 2: 1. Andante larghetto - noble, rich and soulful 2. Allegro ma non tanto – agitated, in D minor 3. Largo – Larghetto andante – in two alternating sections and moods (stately, and then mysterious and gentle) 4. Allegro, ma non troppo – a vigorous and fun fugato, with a broad and lyrical second theme. Total duration 11 min. The mp3 clip is the final movement. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004707 Composed by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Contemporary. Score and parts. 132 pages. Adrian Gagiu #5038243. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004707). String Quartet No. 1 in A minor, op. 12 (1999), a cyclic composition in Neo-Classical style, partly influenced by Romanian folk music, Shostakovich and Bartok. Its compositional language, while not avant-garde and not exceedingly difficult, might help students with some aspects of modern music and liberties taken with classical forms. The first movement (Larghetto - Allegro non troppo) presents first dramatically and mysteriously the core motifs and themes of the entire composition, followed by a surprisingly relaxed sonata movement in the relative key of C major. The following Scherzo (Allegro assai), in E major, plays humorously and vigorously with derived motifs, and the third movement (Adagio assai), in F sharp minor, is treated in variations on the Romanian Christmas carol La Vitleem colo jos ('Down at Bethlehem'). The dramatic and expanding sonata form of the fourth movement (Allegro con brio - Larghetto) returns finally to the A minor of the introduction, then dissolving into the transcendent, slow coda. The mp3 audio clip is a recording of the finale. Total duration 26 min. Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.
