Pierre Boulez wrote two pieces for solo violin, called ?Anthèmes? I and II. This is the first and shorter of the pair and was composed in 1991 for the Yehudi Menuhin Violin Competition. Taking inspiration from childhood memories of Catholic church services, Boulez created a piece of two distinct sonic worlds, in seven short parts, ending with a ?col legno battuto?, characteristic of Boulez?s witty humour. This arrangement is a direct transposition for viola of the original violin piece. It is not known who produced it but it is known that Boulez heard this version and approved of it./ Recueil / Alto

Haydn's Symphony #26 received its nickname 'Lamentazione? during his lifetime, though it is unclear whether this stems directly from the composer.This work probably originated no later than 1770. Its first and second movements quote excerpts from Gregorian chants used in Holy Week. In Haydn's day it was customary to play individual movements in church services, and it may be assumed that these two movements were performed, and possibly composed, independently from each other.Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in the areas of large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, Haydn's Symphony #26 is appearing, based on the Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn?. The complete performance material for several of Haydn's 'Sturm und Drang? symphonies and all of the London and Paris symphonies has already been published.- Based on the Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn?- Orchestral parts available in a large format (25.5 x 32.5 cm) / Alto
