Johann Sebastian Bachâ??s arrangements of the â??69 Sacred Songsâ? from the Musical Hymnal by Georg Christian Schemelli (Leipzig, 1736) have long been part of the German language vocal concert repertoire and a mainstay in vocal pedagogy. Originally, only these 69 of the 954 hymns in the collection were published with a single bass line as the accompaniment. Bachâ??s contribution was to specify harmonies to be played over those same bass lines by adding figured bass numbers and symbols beneath each note.

A figured bass line can easily be turned into a relatively simple guitar accompaniment or a more elaborate setting, offering a range of possibilities that make working with this music both interesting and rewarding for the guitarist. While other period and modern editions of the â??69 Sacred Songsâ? offer accompaniments for keyboard instruments, this Mel Bay publication features intermediate to advanced transcriptions exclusively for the guitar.

Best suited to college-level players or advanced aficionados, this special Mel Bay Publications edition includes the vocal line with German lyrics and the guitar accompaniment transcribed from Bachâ??s figured bass lines. Written in guitar-friendly keys, 29 of the transcriptions employ a capo to achieve the original key designed for high voices. Without the capo, these same arrangements would be suitable to be sung by lower voices. The remaining 40 hymns are in their original guitar-friendly keys and so do not require a capo.

This volume contains accompaniment settings of all 69 of the sacred songs and arias for which Bach wrote figured bass annotation. For performance variety and convenience, this book includes â??Scores in their Original Keys,â? and stand-alone â??Guitar Accompaniment,â? and â??Bass Parts.

The most important work by the Russian composer Modest Moussorgsky (1839-1881) is undoubtedly his masterly opera Boris Godunov. A number of years after the composer’s death, this opera was re-orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov, with his romantic version being quiet different from the original score by Moussorgsky. ‘Love in the Garden’ is a lovely quiet moment from the opera, a beautiful duet between Marina and Dmitri. Add a little romance to any concert with this attractive arrangement for concert band.

Het belangrijkste werk van de Russische componist Modest Mussorgsky (1839-1881) is ongetwijfeld zijn magistrale opera Boris Godunov. Een aantal jaren na de dood van de componist werd deze opera door Rimsky-Korsakov bewerkten opnieuw georkestreerd, zijn romantische versie week behoorlijk af van de originele partituur van Moussorgsky. Love in the Garden vormt in de opera een rustpunt, het is een prachtig duet tussen Marina en Dmitri (ook wel Grigorigenaamd). Wil van der Beek maakte er een fraai arrangement van voor harmonieorkest.

Das bedeutendste Werk von Modest Mussorgski ist zweifellos seine Oper Boris Godunov. Einige Jahre nach Mussorgskis Tod wurde die Oper von seinem Kollegen Rimski-Korsakow neu orchestriert. Aus seiner romantischen Version, die ziemlich von der Originalpartitur abweicht, nahm sich Wil van der Beek das zärtliche Duett von Marina und Dmitri/Grigori in der Gartenszene vor und bearbeitete es geschickt für Blasorchester.

Modest Moussorgski (1839-1881) a largement puisé son inspiration dans la Russie médiévale. Son chef-d’œuvre lyrique Boris Godounov, lui valut une reconnaissance internationale posthume gr ce la version retouchée par son ami Rimski-Korsakov, éclipsant complètement la version originale. Wil van der Beek a arrangé l’un des plus beaux extraits de l’opéra, le duo entre Marina et Dimitri/Grigori : O tsarévitch, je t’implore.
