Joseph Martin Kraus [1756–1792] composed his Requiem in 1775at the age of 19 for the parish church in his hometown of Buchen Odenwald. This followed the Miserere of 1773 and is the second of his surviving sacred compositions. Already in this early work Kraus shows that he was a representative of the musical “Sturm und Drang.” With all its youthful unconcern towards compositional technique this music displays his seriousness and strength of expression together with a dark instrumental timbre as well as an abruptness or at times brusqueness. The publication of the Requiem in the Complete Edition is the first historical and critical edition of the work

Oratorio-Immediately after completing ?St. Paul? in 1836 Mendelssohn mulled over the idea of composing a further oratorio. However a whole decade elapsed before the composition of ?Elijah? which takes as its theme the story of the Biblical prophet from the 1st Book of Kings. When he received the invitation to write a major work for the Birmingham Music Festival Mendelssohn finally embarked on work on the oratorio. ?Elijah? was premiered in 1846 in Birmingham with great success and has enjoyed great popularity ever since.Following the first performance Mendelssohn undertook a revision of the oratorio inwhich whole numbers were removed and new ones substituted. This is the version which was first heard in 1847 in London and which is still performed today.To mark the Mendelssohn anniversary year 2009 the Mendelssohn specialist Douglass Seaton Professor at Florida State University prepared a critical new edition of the oratorio. The edition reflects the latest research findings and includes both English and German singing texts.A critical commentary completes the new edition.- One of Mendelssohn?s most popular works in an edition reflecting the latest editorial knowledge.- Bärenreiter-Urtext including numbers from the original version for the first time.- English and German singing texts.- Critical Commentary (Eng).- Full score performance material (BA9070) and vocal score (BA9070-90) available for sale.

Today the Gloria RV 589 (BA 7674) is one of Vivaldi?s best-known compositions and one of the most frequently performed sacred vocal works from the Baroque period.Vivaldi wrote the ?Gloria? as a self-contained work in the style of a concertante mass. However it was probably also performed within church services. The scoring of the solo voices (SSA) suggests that the work was written during his period at the Ospedale della Piet around 1716. In the twelve movements of the ?Gloria? Vivaldi displays the whole range of his mastery from festive sublime outer movements to tender transparently scored solopassages.The same mastery has also been applied to the ? Kyrie? RV 587 (BA 8950) scored for two choirs and two groups of stringed instruments. The date of its composition remains unclear. It is a purely a choral work without solo passages.Both works can be performed independently but can also be combined as a kind of short mass. Although the authenticity of the autograph manuscript score is beyond doubt these new editions contain some re-evaluations in phrasing and performance practice which go beyond what other editions have to offer. The Piano reductions are straightforward clearly presented and preserve the character of the works.- Attractive choral pieces which can be combined to form a short mass.- Vocal score as well as choral score available for the ?Gloria?.- Informative foreword (Ger/Eng).

Und es waren Hirten in derselbigen Gegend - BWV 248.2. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. The Christmas Oratorio with just organ instead of orchestral accompaniment?

Paperback full score.The New Bach Edition (NBA) volume of J. S. Bach?s Mass in B Minor BWV 232 has been the definitive edition for generations of singers and musicians.

The Urtext performing edition is based on the first volume of the new 15 volume series New Bach Edition-Revised (NBA rev).

Saint Francois D'Assise is an Opera in three acts by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992). Written in 1972 to 1983 it concerns the Catholic preacher Saint Francis of Assisi and displays the composer's devout Catholic faith. The third volume contains the complete third act of the Opera comprising the final two scenes; Stigma and Death and New Life. Despite his studies of Mozart and Wagner's operas Messiaen vowed that he would never compose one himself however he was eventually convinced by the French president. After feeling unworthy to dramatise either Christ's Passion or Resurrection he eventually chose to portray the life of SaintFrancis of Assisi whose life often reflected Christ's chastity humility poverty and suffering. This unique Opera by the individual Messiaen is a significant contribution to the repertoire and was notably semi-staged as part of the BBC proms series in 2008.
