Arte Nova Music Lab #3682165. Published by Arte Nova Music Lab (A0.742428). The Concerti Grossi, Op. 6, or Twelve Grand Concertos, HWV 319–330, are 12 concerti grossi by George Frideric Handel for aconcertino trio of two violins and violoncello and a ripieno four-part string orchestra with harpsichord continuo. First published by subscription in London by John Walsh in 1739, in the second edition of 1741 they became Handel's Opus 6. Taking the olderconcerto da chiesa and concerto da camera of Arcangelo Corelli as models, rather than the later three-movement Venetian concerto of Antonio Vivaldi favoured by Johann Sebastian Bach, they were written to be played during performances of Handel's oratorios and odes. Despite the conventional model, Handel incorporated in the movements the full range of his compositional styles, including trio sonatas, operatic arias, French overtures, Italian sinfonias, airs, fugues, themes and variations and a variety of dances. The concertos were largely composed of new material: they are amongst the finest examples in the genre of baroque concerto grosso.Taken from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerti_grossi,_Op._6_(Handel)

Strings and basso continuo - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q24162 Composed by Pietro Antonio Locatelli. This edition: study score. Ernst Eulenburg - Orchestra - Score. Eulenburg Miniature Scores. Downloadable, Study score. Volume op. 4/7-12, Op Band 2. Ernst Eulenburg & Co. GmbH - Digital #Q24162. Published by Ernst Eulenburg & Co. GmbH - Digital (S9.Q24162). Key: F major.For the six concertos that make up the second part of the Op. 4, Locatelli prescribed eight parts: Violino Primo, Secondo, Alto, è Violoncello, Soli. Violino Primo, Secondo, Alto, è Basso, Ripieni. The use of such forces immediately reminds one of the Corellian concerto grosso, to which Locatelli contributed also in his Op. 1, 7 and 9. But though the instrumentation used in this set seems to feature a clear opposition between the concertino (with solo parts) and the ripieno (with parts that can be doubled), we here encounter a group of works that are very varied in form, instrumentation and structure. Taken as a whole the concertos of the Op. 4 ideally exemplify the developments of Italian Baroque instrumental music: they reveal the close kinship between the concerto grosso and the sonata (as in Concerto X); they also show the derivation of the solo concerto from the concerto grosso; and there are even hints of thematic development and tripartite structures. Also featured are dynamic markings and other performing indications that were rare for the period and show increasing attention to the precise definition of sonorities.
