Robinson has used the well-known Latin text of Pie Jesu to craft a fresh original piece for developing treble choirs. Shifting tonalities and a plaintive melody line give the opportunity to teach phrasing and musical expression, while the conservative ranges and underlying piano accompaniment make it easy for students to find success.

Motets (BWV 118, 225-231) account for a rather small work group within the great number of sacred vocal works composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Only six motets have survived; their most striking feature being their mostly double-chorus texture, often without a verifiable instrumental or continuo accompaniment. They were presumably written at the beginning of Bach's time in Leipzig, i.e. after 1723.The present work, Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, is one of only two motets by Bach in which the entire text comes from the Bible, in this case the two verses of Psalm 117.Performance editions of all other sacred vocal works by Johann Sebastian Bach are also available at Breitkopf & Hartel.

Messiah 1741 - new light on Handel's masterpiece The focus of this new edition is the Messiah as first conceived by the composer in 1741: before its first performance in Dublin in 1742, before the first London performances of the mid 1740s, before the final Foundling Hospital performances in the late 1750s. The editor succeeds in creating a 21st-century edition from the perspective of 1741, making clear that Messiah was a genius hit from the start. Messiah 1741 - the first and only complete edition of Handel's autograph score Thorough information on Handel's performance practice in 1741 (including topics such as orchestration, continuo, text underlay and specific questions on interpretation) It offers a reconstruction of the wind parts according to contemporary sources Piano vocal score with contemporary vocal ornamentation First edition including the German text by Herder - a monument of the German enlightenment - which is contentwise and phonetically closer to Jennens' text than any other translation, therefore being a perfect singable alternative The appendix contains additionally the most popular and important aria versions composed after 1741 for practical reasons. Throughout this new edition, creative yet pragmatic scholarship shines through, and the Preface and Critical Report are thorough and unusually fascinating. ... I'm very happy to own the full score, and if I were starting out now, I'd invest in the whole kit and caboodle. (Jeremy Summerly, Choir & Organ)
