During his Bohemian spa trip in September 1811, Beethoven notated the first sketches for the Seventh Symphony, a work that occupied him until May 1812 - parallel at times with its disparate sister work, the Eighth Symphony in F major. After a non-public rehearsal on 21 April 1813 in Archduke Rudolph's palace, the Seventh was officially premiered on 8 December, together with the programmatic symphony Wellington's Victory or the Battle of Vitoria op. 91. The concert given before 5,000 enthusiastic listeners became Beethoven's greatest success, probably mainly because of the second mentioned work.The present edition from the new Beethoven Complete Edition re-evaluates the complicated source situation, using as the main sources only the autograph and the parts from the premiere. Revealed could be a number of writing errors and misunderstandings in the copying of the parts, leading to changes from previous editions, particularly concerning numerous markings of dynamics and articulation.

Chaconne (2016), for string quartet, was commissioned by the Daedalus Quartet to celebrate its 15th anniversary. The commission was supported by New Music USA, made possible by annual program support and/or endowment gifts from Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, Helen F. Whitaker Fund, and Aaron Copland Fund for Music.My music has a substantial history with Daedalus. I composed the Third String Quartet (2008) for them, and subsequently they performed my three string quartets on several occasions and recorded them brilliantly on Bridge Records (Bridge 9352: Music of Fred Lerdahl, vol. 3). Chaconne is in one movement lasting 19 minutes. It is effectively my fourth string quartet. Quartets 1-3 form a unified cycle lasting 70 minutes. When I finished the cycle, I thought I would never write again for the medium; yet I could not resist the opportunity of working again with Daedalus. The issue was how to compose another string quartet unrelated to the earlier cycle. The solution came from my solo cello piece There and Back Again (2010), which was based on a four-bar variation pattern from a 17th-century chaconne. Unlike the asymmetrical phrases and expanding variations of much of my music, the chaconne form requires symmetrical phrases and strictly periodic variations. I wished to work again with these symmetries but on a larger scale. Chaconne also differs in character and expression from the three-quartet cycle. The cycle is inward and intense, a kind of psychological excavation. Chaconne is, for the most part, transparent and playful. Many of its textures emerge from little canons, not completely unlike the rounds that children sing. Any composer who writes in chaconne form (one thinks above all of the last movement of Bach's D minor violin partita and the finale of Brahms's Fourth Symphony) is confronted with the challenge of how to create a larger form out of a constantly repeating pattern.My Chaconne grows from paired antecedent-consequent phrases, each variation lasting eight bars. The 50 variations group into three large rotations, forming three arcs of tension and relaxation, with subtle parallel connections across the rotations. Notwithstanding my attraction to chaconne form, I purposefully disguised its symmetries and periodicities in order to build an overall dramatic shape. Fred Lerdahl.

Christopher Columbus was born in Genoa in 1451. His father was a wool merchant. Originally he seemed destined to follow in his father’s footsteps, and thus sailed the oceans to countries as far apart as Iceland and Guinea. In 1476 his ship was sunk during a battle off the coast of Portugal. Columbus saved his own life by swimming to shore. In 1484 he conceived the idea of sailing to the Indies via a westward sea route, but it was only in 1492 that he was able to realize this plan. On this first voyage he was in command of three ships: the flag-ship, called the Santa Maria, the Pinta, and the Ni?a. From Spain Columbus sailed via the Canary Islands to the Bahamas, whichhe sighted on October 12th 1492. Without being aware of it Columbus discovered the ‘New World’ he thought he had landed in the eastern part of Asia. The motif from Dvoøák’s 9th Symphony ‘Aus der neuen Welt’ forms a little counterfeit history at this point in the composition. After this first voyage Columbus was to undertake another three long voyages to America. These voyages were certainly not entirely devoid of misfortune. More than once he was faced with shipwreck, mutiny and the destruction of settlements he had founded. After Columbus had left for Spain from Rio Belen in 1503, he beached his ships on the coast of Jamaica. The crew were marooned there and it was only after a year that Columbus succeeded in saving his men and sailing back to Spain with them. In the music the misunderstanding about which continent Columbus discovered in his lifetime resounds, for does this part in the composition not contain Asiatic motifs? Poor Columbus! In 1506 the famous explorer died in Valladolid. Christopher Columbus wordt in 1451 geboren in Genua als zoon van een wolhandelaar. Aanvankelijk lijkt hij voorbestemd om als koopman door het leven te gaan. Zo bevaart hij al een groot deel van de wereldzeeën tot landen als IJslanden Guinea. In 1476 zinkt zijn schip in een veldslag voor de kust van Portugal. Columbus kan zich zwemmend naar de kust redden. In 1484 vat hij het plan op om langs de “andere” kant van de wereld naar India te varen. Pasin 1492 kan hij zijn plan verwezenlijken. Het vlaggeschip op deze reis is de Santa Maria. Het schip wordt gesecondeerd door de Pinta en de Ni?a. Vanuit Spanje vaart Columbus via de Canarische eilanden naar de Bahamas,die hij op 12 oktober 1492 in zicht krijgt. Zonder het te weten ontdekt Columbus de “Nieuwe wereld”. Hij verkeert in de veronderstelling in het oosten van Azië te zijn aangeland. Een stukje geschiedvervalsing vormt hier eenmotiefje uit Dvoøák’s 9de symfonie, ‘Aus der neuen Welt’. Na deze eerste reis maakt Columbus nog drie grote reizen naar Amerika. De reizen verlopen zeker niet alle voorspoedig. Zo is er bijv. meermaals sprake van schipbreuk,muiterij en verwoesting van de door Columbus gestichte nederzettingen. Als hij in 1503 uit Rio Belen weer richting Spanje vertrekt, stranden zijn schepen op de kust van Jamaica. De bemanning wordt daar achtergelaten. Paseen jaar later weet Columbus zijn bemanning te redden en met hen terug te varen naar Spanje. In de muziek klinkt het misverstand over welk werelddeel Columbus in zijn leven bevaren had door. Roept dit deeltje geen associatiesop met Aziatische klanken? Arme Columbus! Christopher Columbus overlijdt in 1506 in Valladolid.

For this scholarly-critical edition, the editor has consulted no less than 16 sources, many more than were ever used for any other edition of the Requiem; some of these sources were never evaluated before and one source, a hand-written vocal score, particularly relevant to the evaluation of the Liber scriptus, was newly discovered.As such, this edition offers new philological and editorial decisions regarding phrasing, articulation and dynamics and succeeds in presenting practical suggestions to solve musical problems and those concerning the interpretation of this famous work.This edition comprises a concise Critical Commentary in the score as well as a detailed one on the Barenreiter website. The most important editions published in the 19th century are compared with regard to musicological questions in the work. The genesis of some misunderstandings included in the 1913 and 1964 Ricordi editions is traced. The first version of the Liber scriptus for chorus is included in the appendix while the later version for mezzosoprano solo is to be found in the main part of the edition.

Trias Politica is de aanduiding voor de driemachtenleer, oftewel de leer der machtenscheiding geformuleerd door de Franse wijsgeer Charles Montesquieu (1689-1755). Ter bescherming van de rechten en de vrijheid van burgers moeten deze drie machten (wetgevende-, rechterlijke- en de uitvoerende macht) in een staat streng gescheiden blijven. Deel 1 - de wetgevende macht - is gegoten in de klassieke sonatevorm. In de grondwet van de muziek is dit één van de belangrijkste muzikale vormen. Net zoals in een wet is de sonatevorm strikt omschreven. Deel 2 - de rechterlijke macht - geeft de sfeer weer van het werk van de rechters. Na het dossier van een afstandin alle rust te hebben bekeken en alle partijen ter zitting te hebben gehoord komen zij tot een weloverwogen oordeel. Deel 3 - de uitvoerende macht - is er in vele gedaantes. Blauw op straat, rechercheurs in burger en niet te vergeten het leger. Op vele manieren wordt er opgetreden tegen personen en organisaties die denken boven de wet te leven en een gevaar vormen voor onze samenleving. Verplicht werk minirepertorium 1e divisie fanfare.

This new Opera was first performed in 1998 in Huddersfield by Opera North. Designed for the modern stage, it utilises only a small cast and orchestra - albeit one with a good variety of percussion! The libretto is adapted by the composer from the play 'The Love of Don Pemperlin for Belisa in the Garden' by Feredico Garcia Lorca, translated into English by David Johnston. The plot revolves around the ill-fated marriage of Don Pemperlin, an ageing bachelor and his beautiful neighbour Belisa, which was suggested by Pemperlin's maid. Tricks and misunderstandings abound and because of them, Pemperlin ends by stabbing himself and dying even as Belisa proclaims her love for him.

Strauss had originally intended that Don Quixotealways be performed, if possible, together with Heldenleben, since Don Q. in particular is only fully comprehensible alongside Heldenleben. To date, Strauss's wish is rarely respected. The Don Quixote Urtext edition now being published by Breitkopf & Hartel can assist here. Once again, the new edition is based on Strauss's own engraver's model, helping to clarify numerous misunderstandings, and facilitating the correction of dozens of traditional errors. Furthermore, the woodwind parts, previously available only in manuscript form, are now appearing completely engraved for the first time.This new edition is also being augmented by a piano reduction of the most important orchestral passages for facilitating the study of the solo cello and viola parts; these two solo parts are also separately included with the purchase of the piano reduction.First Urtext edition since the original edition; Evaluation of all available manuscript and printed sources; Detailed preface giving the genesis and reception history; Detailed critical report; Facsimile pages.

Het Paasfeest is zowel in de Oosterse als in de Westerse kerk het grootste feest van het liturgische jaar. De oorsprong van het christelijke Paasfeest ligt in de joodse traditie. Het joodse Pesach is nauw verbonden met de uittochtuit Egypte, de Exodus. Met de christelijke viering wordt eveneens een uittocht herdacht, zij het metaforisch. Jezus Christus liet zichzelf als een paaslam offeren. Tijdens het Paasfeest wordt zijn opstanding uit de dood gevierd.De seculiere paasviering komt onder andere tot uiting in de paashaas en de paaseieren, een symbool van vruchtbaarheid en nieuw leven. De seculiere viering toont zo de oorsprong van het lentefeest. De Easter Suite is een vierdeligwerk, gebaseerd op diverse paasliederen uit de christelijke traditie. Na de feestelijke ouverture, met daarin motieven van See the Conquering Hero Comes en Easter Hymn volgt een deel dat de overgang van de lijdenstijd naarhet paasfeest symboliseert. Er zijn twee liederen in dit deel verwerkt: Coleshill (gez. 199) en O Filii et Filiae (O filii et fili? Rex c?lestis, Rex glori? Morte surrexit hodie. Alleluia (gez. 207). Het derde deel is een intermezzo.(See the Conquering Hero Comes, het meest beroemde koor uit Händels oratorium Judas Maccabeus). De Suite wordt feestelijk afgesloten met de bekende paasliederen: Halleluja, de blijde toon (gez. 212) en de onontbeerlijke EasterHymn (Christus, onze Heer, verrees. gez. 215. Een tekst uit de veertiende eeuw, door Charles Wesley vanuit het Latijn in het Engels vertaald.) Verplicht werk minirepertorium 5e divisie fanfare.
