High Voice and Orchestra SKU: HL.14020965 Composed by Sir Peter Maxwell Davies. Music Sales America. 20th Century. Score. Composed 1999. 92 pages. Chester Music #CH60950. Published by Chester Music (HL.14020965). ISBN 9780711936959. The story centres on the English princess Caroline Mathilde (1751-1775), sister of George III, who at the age of 15 was sent to Denmark to marry the 17-year-old eccentric and schizophrenic Danish King, Christian VII. The ballet portrays her unhappy marriage, the King's growing madness and her fatal love-affair with Struensee, the King's influential physician, which leads to their arrest, his execution and her exile, at the age of 20, separated from her two young children. This suite begins with the act's opening number: a boisterous, stamping dance to which the people rudely mock Queen Caroline Mathilde and her lover Struensee. After this comes a dark Adagio, The Conspiracy, in which the theme passes like persuasion from mouth to mouth, its variations suggesting the different attitudes of the conspirators, firmly controlled by the brass-driven gestures of the Queen Dowager. The conspiracy then works itself out at a court masked ball, from which the suite includes two dances: a gavotte, and a slow, lubricious passacaglia that is a pas de deux for Caroline Mathilde and Struensee. The Arrest comes with a gathering rush of music that envelops the King, the Queen and Struensee, leading to a vociferous climax in which they are held apart. In The Execution, slow white music for wordless female voices, harp and low strings is interrupted by pathetic, alienated outbursts from the King. The suite ends, as does the ballet, with a quiet adagio lament for clarinets and alto flute as the Queen goes into exile. Score.

Duration 1 hour, 20 minutes. Baerenreiter Verlag #BA10700_00. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag (BA.BA10700). ISBN 9790006550135. 33 x 26 cm inches. Text Language: English, Italian. Preface: Heinrich, Artie. Text: Gay, John / Hughes, John / Pope, Alexander / Giuvo, Nicola. Handel set the myth about the love of the shepherd Acis for the sea nymph Galatea from Ovid’s “Metamorphoses†a total of three times: in the cantata “Aci, Galatea e Polifemo†HWV 72 (1708), the masque “Acis and Galatea†HWV 49a (1718) and finally the pasticcio-like serenata “Acis and Galatea†HWV 49b (1732) of which the original version is now made available in its complete form for the first time.
A particular charm is provided by the use of two languages in the serenata. The work was originally conceived in English, as was required for the first performance. However, Handel’s Italian singers were criticised for their poor command of English, – so in the end, many numbers were sung in Italian.
The extensive appendix to the vocal score includes the additional arias and newly composed movements for the versions used in the 1734 and 1736 performances.

Antonio Salvi’s “Arminio†is one of the best-loved operatic librettos of the Baroque period. Against the historical background of the so-called “Battle of the Teutoburg Forest†in 9 AD in which the Cherusci leader Arminius as “Liberator of Germany†(Tacitus) inflicted a devastating defeat on the Romans, Handel’s opera, first performed in 1737, is about the disputes between the Chatti and the Cherusci. Arminius has married the daughter of his arch-enemy Segestes. When he is imprisoned, Segestes, who has conspired with the Romans, sees his opportunity for revenge.

Harp Accompaniment; Percussion; Strings; Tenor (Score) SKU: HL.286427 Tenor, Strings, Harp, Piano and Percussion Score. Composed by Witold Lutoslawski. PWM. Classical. Softcover. 64 pages. Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne #6288. Published by Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne (HL.286427). ''Witold Lutoslawski treated the surrealistic poem of Jean Francois Chabrun as a symbolist story about love and death. In his musical interpretation, according to its default course he distinguished the subsequent stages of the opus which are characterised by different kinds of expression. The first stage is of an epic and lyrical character, the second refers to a lullaby, the third is of a dramatic nature and constitutes the culmination of the work, finally, the fourth stage is a kind of a lament ending with a reflective message. Lutoslawski's musical language is characterised by contemporary means of composing technique. One should take note of the unique twelve-note system elaborated by the composer, a characteristic time organisation based on contrasting the conducted sections against the ad libitum ones, and finally the vast repertoire of sound articulation allowing for unusual differentiation of the timbre.
