Cello,Piano - Digital Download SKU: A0.805660 Composed by Max Bruch. Arranged by Marcus Martin. Concert,Jewish,Praise & Worship,Sacred. Score and part. 13 pages. Cornelius Edition (uk) #6703211. Published by Cornelius Edition (uk) (A0.805660). German Composer Max Bruch (1838-1920) completed this work in 1880 whilst in Liverpool, England. It is dedicated to - and premiered by - Robert Hausmann, who had requested a cello piece from Bruch. The work is styled as an ‘Adagio on 2 Hebrew Melodies’. The first theme, which gives the work its title, imitates the voice of the cantor who chants the liturgy during the evening service on every Yom Kippur. The second theme is derived from English composer Isaac Nathan’s arrangement of Byron’s O weep for Those that Wept on Babel’s Stream and is given a more Schumannesque treatment in the tonic major key. Although originally scored for full orchestra, the work is frequently and effectively performed with piano accompaniment. It is a popular recital piece.

Cello and orchestra - advanced - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q6921 Adagio after Hebrew Melodies. Composed by Max Bruch. This edition: piano reduction with solo part. Cello Library. Downloadable, Piano reduction with solo part. Op. 47. Schott Music - Digital #Q6921. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q6921). Key: D minor.The popularity of his (first) violin concerto drove Max Bruch not just almost to despair - 'I cannot listen to this concerto any more', he wrote to his publisher - it also got in the way of the composer's remaining oeuvre. Wrongly, as is apparent in Kol Nidrei, the adagio 'based on Hebrew melodies', Op. 47, one of the most expressive Romantic solo works. Composed in 1881, it testifies to the composer's enthusiasm for folksongs and thrives on a passionate and warm tonal language.
