A cura di F. Della Seta - Riduzione per canto e pianoforte-Ricordi the well-known printer of classical opera presents the works of the great opera composers in its Critical Edition practical series. These revised definitive scores are produced by using all the currently available sources ranging from the original autographs to printed editions in line with strict philological and critical criteria. Each edition has a brief introduction providing the historical context for the opera in question. This series combines the rigour of a critical approach and a practical easy-to-follow editorial lay-out. The hidden sadness and frustration of living as a moral outcast the attempt to simulate innocence infrivolous living and the desperate search for relief from pain and anguish the destruction of all hope in an unrealistic love affair... this is Violetta Valery. Verdi penetrated the tormented sensitivity of her soul as he visualized her in his music transforming her individual fate into a universal representation of human suffering. His compassion for her however met with bigoted censure: the bourgeois public scandalized by the presence of a kept woman as a character on the stage gave the opera an icy reception at its premiere in Venice (Teatro La Fenice 6 March 183). Certainly an inferior cast for the occasion did little to help. Only the following year when La Traviata was revived for another production in Venice (Teatro San Benedetto) did the tale of Violetta manage to overcome this prejudice and win the unconditional esteem it so deserves.

This work is one of Verdi's most popular opera choruses (Nabucco). Patrick Liebergen's edition provides an Italian pronunciation guide. It also comes with translation and piano accompaniment. Try it with high school college/university or community choruses.

This operatic gem from Il trovatore is often referred to as ?The Gypsy Chorus.? The drama and playfulness of the original orchestration are well preserved in the piano writing and Verdi?s glorious melody and substantial harmony are well intact in both voicings. As a special touch the arranger has included parts for two percussive anvils. An IPA guide is included for the Italian text.

Par VERDI GIUSEPPE. The first critical edition of Verdi's Requiem with complete performance material for sale. The edition is based on the autograph as the primary source and makes accessible one of the most important requiem settings of the 19th century in a modern scholarly edition. In particular, articulation, phrasing and dynamics are often indicated more precisely than in previous, well-known editions. By means of parallel passages, editorial additions attempt to make Verdi's intentions clearer through the judicious use of diacritical markings. A clearly organized disposition of the engraved music makes the full score and vocal score easy to read. Outstanding legibility of the parts. With an excellently playable vocal score by Paul Horn in tried and true quality. As a reasonably-priced alternative, a choral score is also available. With a foreword in three languages and a critical report. Among Verdi's many compositions, as a work of sacred music, the Requiem remains unique. It was composed as a musical memorial for the Italian national poet Alessandro Manzoni, deeply admired by Verdi, and was first performed on the first anniversary of his death on 22 May 1874 in Milan Cathedral. The exploration of many extremes places Verdi's tonal language wholly in the service of a dramatized liturgy./ Répertoire / Choeur Mixte (SATB) et Orchestre
