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.

Sacred Metamorphoses is a mostly contemplative and almost mystical piano suite in F sharp major in Neo-romantic style and in 8 movements, entirely on themes from Symphony No. 3 by Camille Saint-Saens presented in its first movement. Each of the following character movements is actually a huge variation on the themes, with different techniques and deeply felt or virtuoso passages.

The movements: Andante-Allegro (nostalgic and dramatic), Andante con moto (a slow fugue), and Allegro scherzoso (treated in humorous variations; note the Minore variation, a well fit fugato on Henry Mancini's famous Pink Panther theme).

String Quartet String Quartet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1151667 Composed by George Frideric Handel. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Baroque,Chamber. 37 pages. Adrian Gagiu #751862. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1151667). 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. Concerto grosso in B flat major, op. 6 no. 7: 1. Largo-Allegro scherzando – a slow introduction and then a formidable, humorous, rhythmic fugato starting with a repeated note; 2. Largo – introspected and complex, reminding of J.S. Bach’s style; 3. Andante – steady and march-like; 4. Hornpipe (Andante) – lively and full of surprises and syncopation. Total duration: 13 min 30 sec. The mp3 audio clip is the second movement (Largo). Performing Rights Organization: SOCAN.

String Quartet String Quartet,Viola - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1004728 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. 20th Century,Classical,Contemporary. Score and parts. 205 pages. Adrian Gagiu #6365523. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1004728). This composition is a premiere, speculative, yet as faithful as possible embodiment of all of Beethoven’s sketches for his String Quintet in C major, Hess 41 (WoO 62), as they have been left by the composer. The usefulness and integrity of more or less hypothetical completions of sketches by great composers remains from case to case controversial. Due to the paucity of the sketches for the aim of attempting a true reconstruction, the present composition in no way falls within such category. It is obviously quite different from what Beethoven himself would have produced if he had lived more, also due to the fact that he usually transformed his preliminary sketches substantially during the compositional process. However, there are some of his frequent, subtle thematic relationships between the sketches for the Quintet movements, and probably some features in the sketches would have been kept in the completed composition. The four-movement design hypothesized by Martin Staehelin and others, as well as other retrospective or relaxed features in the sketches may be a result of a still early stage of the compositional process, or perhaps an indicator of a fourth, neoclassical creative period, together with Op. 135 and the new Finale for Op. 130.To generate a continuity draft of the Quintet, all of Beethoven’s sketches for it were used, with the addition of several ones from the same context within the respective sketchbook and which could be related to the identified Quintet sketches: some sketches are clearly labeled as being for the Quintet, while others are thematically related or written down close to them. With the possible exception of bars 75-94 and 136-155 in movement II (which are variations on the theme) and bars 140-145 in movement IV (which fill in the blank bars in the sketch with a progression based on it), virtually every bar of this composition includes the notes from the sketches in at least one of the instruments. Some of those notes were subject to transpositions and adaptations to fit the formal design, and to editorial choices for the unclear pitches and duration in the sketches.This publication includes the score, parts and continuity draft, the latter being marked with the sources in the sketches for each passage.Total duration: 33 minutes.

Full Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1136831 Composed by Emil von Reznicek. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. 19th Century,Classical,Romantic Period. Score and Parts. 129 pages. Adrian Gagiu #736820. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1136831). The charming and fun overture to the opera Donna Diana (1894) by Emil von Reznicek (1860-1945) was revised now in premiere to make it more flowing and coherent especially in its rushed passages, with less flashy orchestration and with reshaped slow introduction and development section. Following the traces of the original concert favorite, it may work better now as a concert overture or an engaging stand-alone showpiece for professional and advanced amateur orchestras.

Chamber Orchestra - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1415801 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Classical. 190 pages. Adrian Gagiu #997496. Published by Adrian Gagiu (A0.1415801). Score and parts of a premiere realization of some of Beethoven's sketches for the first movement of another Symphony in C major before the First, dubbed 'No. 0' or Unv. 2 by some: 1. 'Overture' (Andante con moto - Allegro con brio), 2. Tempo di menuetto. Useful for people interested in Beethoven's sketches and for students of the Classical style. In 1794-1796, Beethoven made extensive concept sketches mostly for the first movement of this abortive symphony. The material is abundant and sometimes contradictory, as usual with his preliminary work, and he recycled later from this one only the main theme of the Finale of the completed Symphony No. 1. For this speculative realization, suggested by Mr. Armando Orlandi at the Centro Ricerche Musicali and dedicated to them, only the more promising sketches were utilized, and the slow introduction was assembled from the ones in cut time, while those in triple time make up now a Minuet. Virtually every bar of music here includes the sketches, also in the elaboration and coda of the 'overture', only with a few transpositions needed for assembling the sonata form and for the repeats in the Minuet. Obviously, Beethoven would have done it much differently, had he decided to continue working on this symphony, and the question remains regarding the utility of recycling material abandoned by some classical composer. However, this gives one an approximate idea of one of the many possibilities implied by the preliminary sketches for his Symphony 'No. 0'. Total duration 15 minutes.

String Quartet String Quartet - Digital Download SKU: A0.1518526 Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Arranged by Adrian Gagiu. Baroque,Chamber. 96 pages. Adrian Gagiu #1092629. 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.
