Opéra comique en un acte-Hardback full score; also available vocal score for sale (BA2293-90) & performance material for hire (BA2293). The fact that “op?ra comique” rooted in the folk art of the French vaudeville was brought to its high-point by Gluck a German composer working in Italian clearly demonstrates the close relationships and interconnections made in European musical life in the mid-18th century. With “L’Ile De Merlin Ou Le Monde Renvers?” Gluck created an enchanting buffo work which draws its charm not only from its colourful music with appealing details of instrumentation andcharacterisation but also from the juxtaposition of real mythological and fairy-tale figures as well as from the critical social undertones in the libretto. The new edition is based on the Gluck Complete Edition Series IV volume 1 edited by G?nter Hau?wald. Based on the Urtext of “Gluck Complete Works”. Original French text with singing German translation. Detailed foreword in the vocal score (Ger/Eng/Fr).

Cavalli, Francesco La Calisto Dramma per musica in three acts Urtext from Francesco Cavalli - Opere Edition no. TP 891 ISMN 9790006205356 ?La Calisto? received its first performance in Venice in 1651 but only really achieved its breakthrough in the 20th century. It is one of Cavalli?s most frequently-performed operas today. The reason for this success may have been the late acknowledgement of its masterly dramatic and musical structure. The musical text is not presented in the usual small study score format, but in the vocal score format (19 x 27 cm). This results in an optimal and well-presented layout of the work. The study score is ideal for analysis as well as for rehearsing the vocal parts. - Reduced-size full score based on the first volume of the new Bärenreiter series, ?Francesco Cavalli ? Opere? - Reflects the latest state of research - Foreword (Eng) by the editor - English translation of the libretto included separately (not singable) - Practical for study and rehearsing the vocal parts
