Vocalise, for soprano (or tenor) voice with piano accompaniment, came into being in 1910 as the final piece in Rachmaninov's Op. 34 song series. Most of the songs were tailored to suit the personalities of various outstanding Russian singers (including Chaliapin), and dedicated to them. An interesting feature of Vocalise, which was written for the soprano Antonina Nezhdanova, is that, as its title indicates, the vocal solo has no text: the performer can sing it through on any one vowel of her choice. This song became one of the composer's most popular pieces, and countless arrangements have been made of it (for orchestra, for various chamber ensembles, for violin, for cello, for almost every kind of brass instrument, for clarinet, for guitar, for harmonica, even for cello orchestra!). One of the most successful transcriptions for solo piano, first published in 1981, is the work of the world-famous Hungarian concert pianist, conductor and composer, Zoltan Kocsis.

This scholarly-critical volume is the first published edition of Meyerbeer's Clarinet Quintet, which vanished in World War ll and only recently resurfaced in the estate of the clarinetist Carl Bärmann. Meyerbeer wrote the piece in Vienna in 1813 for his friend Heinrich Bärmann, a celebrated clarinettist to whom C. M. von Weber also dedicated several works. The extremely novel and virtuoso handling of the clarinet was unusual for its day: Meyerbeer allows it to stand out clearly from the string ensemble and pushes it to the utmost limits of its technique. The Work enriched the meager chamber music repertoire for the clarinet in the 19th century. Our scholarly-critical edition makes this masterpiece available to performers for the first time in print. Besides the musical text, it offers a critical report and a detailed preface discussing the work's genesis. The parts have been given performance markings by Dieter Klöcker.

A beautiful slow dance that captures the essence of beauty. The 'Pavane' pulls at the audience and causes a reaction of quiet reflection. Musicians will share the joy of playing this wonderful composition.The Pavane - an old stately dance of Italian or Spanish origin - can be traced back to the 16th century. French composer Gabriels Faure's Pavane, written in 1886 for orchestra for a series of concerts in Paris, exudes charm, gentility even; the music flows easily yet with a sure sense of direction. In 1919 the composer reused it in his one-act divertissement Masques and Bergamasques. Faure was much revered during his lifetime as a professor of composition at the Paris Conservatoire for many years together with his connection with church music as an organist. In concert performance the Pavane benefits from being allowed to unfold at its own unhurried pace and in its (mostly) own quiet way.

In the 19th century the motet Lob und Ehre und Weisheit und Dank BWV Anh. 162 had a place in the traditional six motets by Johann Sebastian Bach for a while - until it was recognised as a composition by the Leipzig Bach pupil Georg Gottfried Wagner (1698-1756). Under the name of its true author, Wagner's magnificent motet quickly fell into obscurity - at least in Germany. But in the Anglo-American world, the motet continued to be performed with English text. A good reason to publish the first critical edition of the work in two languages.

Also known as Prosa in Nativitáte Dómini or the Portugese Hymn, Adeste, Fideles has been used at Benediction at Christmastide in France and England since the end of the eighteenth century. It invites all the faithful to come to Bethlehem to worship the newborn Savious. Although more than forty different English translations were made, Oakeley's translation O Come, All Ye Faithful was the most preferred, with additional verses translated by W.T. Brooke. All in all, the hymn has been translated into at least 125 languages and is one of the most popular of all Christmas hymns.Adeste, Fideles, das hier in einer festlichen Bearbeitung fu?r Blechbläserquintett und Orgel ad lib. vorliegt, wird schon seit dem Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts in Frankreich und England zur Segnung in der Weihnachtszeit verwendet. Das im deutschen Sprachraum als Herbei, o ihr Gläubigen bekannte Lied wurde auÃ?erdem in u?ber 100 weitere Sprachen u?bersetzt und ist damit eines der beliebtesten Weihnachtslieder weltweit. Lâ??hymne chrétienne Adeste Fideles [Adeste Fidelis] est également connue sous le nom de Prosa In Nativitáte Dómini ou encore Cantique portugais (parce quâ??il fut chanté dans la chapelle de l'ambassade du Portugal Londres). Depuis la fin du XVIIIe siècle, Adeste Fideles est chanté après la bénédiction de Noël dans de nombreuses églises françaises et anglaises. Le texte invite tous les croyants se rendre Bethléem pour adorer le Sauveur nouveau-né.Lâ??origine du cantique reste un mystère. On mentionne divers noms de poètes. Dâ??aucuns soutiennent quâ??il sâ??agit dâ??un noël ancien inspiré dâ??une danse autour de la crèche. On pense également que SaintFrançois dâ??Assise sâ??en serait servi pour sa crèche vivante. Dâ??autres attribuent son origine Saint Bonaventure, un prêtre franciscain, contemporain de Saint François, qui en aurait composé le texte original, en latin, au XIIIe siècle. Enfin, certains historiens affirment quâ??Adeste Fideles aurait été écrit par un poète anonyme français sous le règne de Louis XIV.Quoiquâ??il en soit, il est communément reconnu que les strophes ont été écrites ou découvertes par lâ??Anglais John Francis Wade (vers 1710-1786) alors quâ??il travaillait en tant que chercheur et copiste Douai en France. La première version imprimée du cantique date des années 1740. Elle fut ensuite intégrée au recueil Cantus Diversipublié en 1751.Catholique la c, John Francis Wade fuit lâ??Angleterre en proie des persécutions religieuses. Vers 1731, il copiait des manuscrits de plain-chant au Collège dominicain de Borhem en Flandre. Plus tard, il sâ??installa Douai dans le Nord de la France, forteresse de la foi catholique, où le roi d'Espagne Philippe II avait fondé une université, en 1559. Wade gagnait sa vie « en copiant et vendant des manuscrits de plain-chant et dâ??autres ?uvres ». Il fut également professeur de latin et de musique sacrée. La notice nécrologique mentionnait lâ??excellence de son travail de copiste, quâ??il réalisa pour des chapelles locales ou des.
