The Missa brevis K.140 (Anh. 235d = No. 5) occupies a special position in that it comes close to a pastoral mass a type not otherwise represented in Mozart?s mass oeuvre. As in no other setting of the Ordinary songlike graceful melodies predominate; only the main part of the Credo and the first section of the Agnus Dei stand out with their serious solemn mood.New important evidence for the work?s authenticity has come to light through the discovery of old parts that were written at a time in which a false attribution of another composer?s work to Mozart would not have been possible: a copy at Kremsmünster Monastery which according to Altman Kellner was writtenin Salzburg ?ca. (soon after) 1770? and a copy from Heilig Kreuz Kloster Augsburg of which thirteen parts contain autograph markings by W. A. Mozart. The master?s hand is unmistakable.Urtext of the New Mozart EditionFull score performance material (BA4736) and vocal score (BA4736-90) available for sale.

Cantata for the Feast of Reformation-Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (A Mighty Fortress is our God)Cantata for the Feast of ReformationThere are practically no surviving original sources for Bach's great Reformation Cantata 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott'. It is possible that the original form of the Cantata was written in Weimar in 1715 to which Bach later made various additions and alterations to transform it into a Reformation Cantata for Leipzig. Although scholarly opinion as to the sources is divided there is no doubt that the opening chorus based on Martin Luther's chorale melody 'Ein feste Burg' is one of Bach's greatest achievements.Urtext ofthe New Bach EditionPerformance material (BA10080) vocal score (BA10080-90) & study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm (TP1080) available for sale

Great Organ Mass Hob. XXII:4-Mass in E-flat major (Great Organ Mass) Hob.XXII:4In honorem Beatissimae Virginis MariaeFollowing his “Jugendmesse” from 1749 church music played only a secondary role in Haydn’s creative output. It was not until 1766 with the “Cäcilienmesse” and again in 1768-69 with the “Great Organ Mass” that Haydn returned to this genre of composition.This Mass in E-flat major belongs to the same period as the “Sturm-und- Drang” symphonies. Some of the remarkable features of this period are reflected here in the expansion of expression combinedwith a new very original musical language. The score also contains the traditional Viennese trumpet and timpani parts although it is extremely unlikely that they stem from Haydn. As Haydn at least tolerated these parts the performance material contains both the original as well as the expanded versions.- Hadyn’s 'Sturm-und-Drang' Mass- Performable in both versions- Clear and straightforward vocal score- Urtext from Joseph Haydn Werke- Full score parts (BA4646) and vocal score (BA4646-90) available for sale
