Cantata for the 8th Sunday after Trinity-Es Ist Dir Gesagt Mensch Was Gut Ist BWV 45Cantata for the 8th Sunday after Trinity- Performance material (BA10045) vocal score (BA10045-90) and study score (TP1045) available for sale.Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach?s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work or at least re-work an existing one for every Sunday and festival of the church year aswell as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations school and university celebrations and royal birthdays.Unfortunately not all cantatas have survived. However over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then.

The Missa brevis K.140 (Anh. 235d = No. 5) occupies a special position in that it comes close to a pastoral mass a type not otherwise represented in Mozart?s mass oeuvre. As in no other setting of the Ordinary songlike graceful melodies predominate; only the main part of the Credo and the first section of the Agnus Dei stand out with their serious solemn mood.New important evidence for the work?s authenticity has come to light through the discovery of old parts that were written at a time in which a false attribution of another composer?s work to Mozart would not have been possible: a copy at Kremsmünster Monastery which according to Altman Kellner was writtenin Salzburg ?ca. (soon after) 1770? and a copy from Heilig Kreuz Kloster Augsburg of which thirteen parts contain autograph markings by W. A. Mozart. The master?s hand is unmistakable.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionFull score performance material (BA4736) and vocal score (BA4736-90) available for sale.

Great Organ Mass Hob. XXII:4-Mass in E-flat major (Great Organ Mass) Hob.XXII:4In honorem Beatissimae Virginis MariaeFollowing his “Jugendmesse” from 1749 church music played only a secondary role in Haydn’s creative output. It was not until 1766 with the “Cäcilienmesse” and again in 1768-69 with the “Great Organ Mass” that Haydn returned to this genre of composition.This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the “Sturm-und- Drang” symphonies. Some of the remarkable features of this period are reflected here in the expansion of expression combinedwith a new very original musical language. The score also contains the traditional Viennese trumpet and timpani parts although it is extremely unlikely that they stem from Haydn. As Haydn at least tolerated these parts the performance material contains both the original as well as the expanded versions.- Hadyn’s 'Sturm-und-Drang' Mass- Performable in both versions- Clear and straightforward vocal score- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts (BA4646) and vocal score (BA4646-90) available for sale
