164 easy arrangements with chords of carols from around the world complete with lyrics in the original language as well as English. This special collection also includes historical background information on the observance of Christmas through the years and notes about specific carols to give added understanding. Songs are included from England Italy Latin America Spain Scandinavia Poland Czech Republic and more.Note on the arrangements:'We have worked to make this book both flexible and useful. The Piano accompaniments have been kept simple but much effort has gone into making them musically interesting and satisfying. Chordindications are given for every carol so that the accompaniments may be played on Chord Organs Accordions Guitars Ukuleles and other fretted instruments. A detailed chart demonstrating how to finger chords for fretted instruments is given at the back of the book.We have been careful to keep the voice ranges of the songs comfortable and the texts singable. Since harmony parts always add much pleasure to singing we have retained traditional four-part arrangements of the most familiar carols and hymns. For the others we have provided a second part to go along with the melody (printed in smaller notes) that may be sung or played on the Recorder Flute Violin or on other non-transposing instruments.' - Walter Ehret George K. Evans

This edition is based on the critical edition of The Barber of Seville edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series Works of Gioachino Rossini. But who needs a new critical edition of The Barber of Seville? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. And secondly there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera of great interest to both scholars and performers.Thusthe famous overture which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera Aureliano in Palmira differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in Aureliano in Palmira) which includes two Flutes two Oboes and Timpani or in the scoring for the subsequent opera The Barber of Seville (with just one Flute one oboe and no Timpani).Urtext edition based on the series Works of Gioachino Rossini.All versions and transpositions are included in the appendix to the study score.Singing English translation in the vocal score.Takes into account all original sources including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation.Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini’s personal notational characteristics.Study score contains a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)Full score (BA10506) critical report (BA10506-40) & study score (TP411) available for sale; performance material (BA10506-72) available for hire.

Ed. critica di M. Talbot - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte di A. Frigé-The present volume contains all three settings by Vivaldi of the Marian antiphon Salve Regina that have come down to us. All three are for solo voice: soprano in the case of RV 617 and contralto in that of RV 616 and RV 618. The last two settings are scored for two instrumental cori and introduce woodwind instruments respectively a flute and a pair of oboes whereas the instrumentation of the first is confined to strings disposed in a single coro although a solo violin is employed in three movements. RV 617 preserved in a non-autograph source in Brno belongs to Vivaldi?s first period of sacred music composition at the Pietà (1713-1717) while RV 616 and RV 618 are works of his maturity dating from the years around 1730. RV 617 is laid out in four movements RV 616 and 618 in six movements. All three works are noteworthy for the tenderness of their expression and skilful writing for both the voice and the instruments. The Introduction and Critical Commentary for these vocal scores prepared by Antonio Frigé are closely based on those of the Critical Editions by Michael Talbot published in 1998 1990 and 1994.

Lo! Here the Gentle Lark is a Coloratura aria with virtuoso Flute and Piano accompaniment whose flourishes cadenzas trills and Vocalise passages create much musical excitement. A high duet between Flute and Soprano near the endis particularly flamboyant and thrilling. Henry R. Bishop was a composer active throughout the early 19th century writing operas though in the old style that was more akin to today’s musical theatre than to through-sungContinental opera as well as many songs for theatrical performances and reworkings of other composers’ creations.One of Britain’s most famous composers of his time he was the first musician ever to be knighted by QueenVictoria in 1842 and has since fallen mostly into obscurity.

We do not know very much about Handel's compositions on poems by Barthold Heinrich Brockes. We can only date their composition to approximately 1724-1727. The autograph does not shed any light on the titles nor the sequence of theworks. It does not even give the instrumentation. Thus there are several alternatives for the solo instrument that imitates the vocal part - although violin, flute or oboe are the most likely. Henle's practical edition not onlycontains additional parts for the solo instrument and the bassbut also a realization of the figured bass in the score by the editor Ullrich Scheideler.
