For Nine Male Voices And Orchestra-Luminous Body is a collaboration between Nico Muhly and Craig Lucas written in the period immediately following their narratively charged opera 'Two Boys'. Luminous Body is as a result abstract and poetic in gesture and form. The text interpolates among other things stylized versions of the teachings of Christ Buddha Mohammed and Plato; these are scrambled and re-contextualized and in a sense serve as background for the textures of the combination of nine male Voices and Orchestra.Part 1 introduces the chord structure that governs the entire piece and ends with the repeated words ?only your will is your own.?The second and third parts loosely dealing with the Devil and the importance of choosing one?s words are based on drones generated by the Voices and the strings; the constant (but slightly morphing) texture is meant to be meditative and vague. Muhly always wanted to set the Beatitudes and Craig paraphrased them beautifully here; the tenors intone the word ?blessed? over and over while the strings and winds reiterate the passacaglia from the opening of the piece. The fifth and final part is a series of proverbs. The Orchestra begins in a series of loose ecstatic drones which increase in intensity (?Make your own family!?) until you jump suddenly to the garden of Gethsemane where Christ was betrayed while his disciples slept. ?Why are you sleeping? Couldn?t you stay awake for one more hour?? he asks while the strings and winds lazily chant in the background.Luminous Body was premiered by The St. Paul Chamber Orchestra and Cantus.

13 ausgewählte Kirchenmusiken zwischen 1. Advent und Michaelis. This volume represents the only annual cycle of sacred music of the 18th century printed in score: it was completed in 1744. The textual basis stems from Erdmann Neumeister. In contrast to the usual practice of the Telemann Edition to edit segments of the church years, here the entire course of the church year is presented. The music to be performed at the beginning of each part of the church year and at special celebrations is included. Telemann used a variety of expressive polyphonic techniques to create the introductory dicta. These, like the chorales, are written in concentrated three-part harmony. The preface provides information on the printing history of the church year and its dissemination supplemented by comments on performance practice: the critical report analyses the rich source material. Editions of Telemann's preface (with his performance notes and an explanation of his figured bass system), the preface on the printing of the texts and the texts of the compositions contained in the volume flank the edition of the music. Facsimiles from the original print and from Hamburg performance materials are included.

Schumann était en plein milieu des préparatifs pour l'exécution de son oratorio Das Paradies und die Peri quand il a écrit des sketches de Neujahrslied. Quelle quantité de musique vocale signifiait pour lui est montré par la fondation de l'année précédente, soit en 1848, de la société Verein für Chorgesang initié par Schumann. Répétition de la chorale et de la composition chorale devaient avoir une influence stimulante sur l'autre ce qui se voit dans les commentaires de Neujahrslied: 'C'est vraiment expressive musique chorale, étant le produit d'un esprit aussi sensible qu'il est intelligent, à la fois mélodique et déclamatoire, les pensées sont pleins de courage et de toucher le coeur de l'auditeur.Schumann travail peu connu tardive est un complément enrichissant le répertoire pour choeurs accomplis.Le score est basé sur le volume IV/3/1, 2 (RSA 1032-1020) du Schumann Complete Edition. / Choeur Et Orchestre
