For Narrator Children's Choir And Instrumental Accompaniment (Piano Version)-Following on the success of her two operatic works for children and teens – Douce et Barbe Bleue Les Fables Enchantées Little Thummie and Cendrillon (based on Perrault) as well as the adaptation of Maupassant’s short story The Dumpling (2014) – Isabelle Aboulker once again hits the bull’s eye with Myla And The Boat-Tree a commission from the Villecroze Music Academy. In 2015 this musical tale for Narrator Children’s Choir and Instrumental Accompaniment was awarded the “Music for Young Performers Prize” by the French Music Publishers Association. Both in the French version and MarciMeth’s excellent English translation it provides the material for an enthralling educational adventure in which children between the ages of five and eight are invited into their first experience of opera and choir singing. With her trademark finesse and sensitivity the composer tells the story of a little girl dealing with the death of a person she’d cherished above all: her grandfather. Written for choir in unison this tale wafts shimmering melodies over an instrumental accompaniment suffused in turn with gentle melancholy and light humour. An art that speaks from an open heart. The work was written in three versions: for Narrator Children’s Choir and Piano (AL30732) for Narrator Children’s Choir and Trio (Clarinet in Bb Cello and Piano: AL30733) for Narrator Children’s Choir and Instrumental Ensemble (Flute Oboe Clarinet in Bb Bassoon Horn Trumpet in C Trombone Percussion 2 Violins Alto Cello Bass: AL30734) Choral score: AL30743 Listen to Isabelle Aboulker talking about “Myla and the Boat-Tree”:

This mariachi anthem based on an Octavio Paz text in Spanish is sure to liven any concert or school choir. The choral lines are presented in many textural varieties including four bars of clapping 'sombrero' style and the trumpet and piano parts are highly rhythmic fun and energetic. An English singing translation is provided.

Jan Dismas Zelenka's Te Deum in D for SATB and Orchestra.Two settings of the Te Deum by Jan Dismas Zelenka have been survived: the Te Deum in D major ZWV 145 of ca. 1724 and the present Te Deum a due cori in D major ZWV 146 which was composed in 1731. Whereas the Te Deum ZWV 145 is scored for five voices (?soli e tutti?) and an orchestra including two trumpets and timpani the setting of the Te Deum a due cori which includes five soloists and two four-part choirs as well as four trumpets and timpani and soloistic flauti traversi is magnificently realized in a more decisive manner. The large solemn scoring suggests that the work was composed for aworship service on the occasion of the birth of the Electoral Princess Maria Josepha of Saxony.

Sacred Oratorio in two Parts-During Telemann’s lifetime 'Die Donnerode' was one of his most popular sacred works. It was written following the devastating earthquake in Lisbon in 1755. The great success of the first performance in St. Jacobi in Hamburg in 1756 encouraged Telemann to write a second part to the work in 1760 expanding 'Die Donnerode' to make a complete oratorio. The work continues to be performed in this form today. The basic structure of 'Die Donnerode' is a psalm cantata for soloists chorus and orchestra. The texts and choice of instrumentation make reference to the threatening natural phenomenon of the earthquake. Telemann exploits all the musical possibilities offered by the text creating a powerful oratorio in which trumpets and timpani play an important role. This edition includes a vocal score on sale for the first time based on the Telemann Musical Works. The existing performance material has been thoroughly revised and newly engraved.

He seems to have asked his friend Joseph Haydn to write a festive “thankoffering” in the form of a Mass for the famous pilgrimage church of Mariazell in Styria. Haydn began the work in 1782 and recently the original parts to the Missa Cellensis were found in the organ loft of the splendid baroque church at Mariazell.Haydn’s “Mariazellermesse” has always been one of his most popular works. The “Volkstümlichkeit” (which one might translate as “down to-earthiness”) the miraculous fusion of polyphonic forms with the language and form of the Vienna classical school – note that the Kyrie is in sonata form with shortened recapitulation and coda – the brilliant orchestration to which the trumpets and drums contribute so much festive joyousness: all these have won the hearts of audiences everywhere whenever the Mass was given.- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts and vocal score available for sale
