Arranged for female choir (SMA)-The choral scene is in a state of change! On the one hand more and more choirs are lacking in male voices yet at the same time more and more female choirs are looking for high-quality literature beyond folksong arrangements. Bärenreiter is responding to these general trends with the publication of arrangements for three-part female choir (SMA) of well-known frequently-performed works.The first editions to be published are Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart?s ?Coronation Mass? K. 317 (BA 5691) a much-performed work within the standard repertoire and the ?Missa brevis in D major? K. 194 (BA 5690-90) a charming alternative for use in church services. With great skill andsensitivity to the music Heribert Breuer has carefully retained the substance of the original works at the same time giving them a completely new sound quality.- Arrangements for female choir (SMA) based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition?- Idiomatic piano reductionsThe arrangerHeribert Breuer was professor of choral conducting and music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts until 2010. He is founder and director of the Berlin Bach Akademie and has made a name for himself with his numerous arrangements of works from Bach to Schubert.

Chorale Setting-First Urtext edition based on Georg Philipp Telemann Musical Works.An attractive addition to the repertoire with a view to the Telemann Year 2017.Bilingual Foreword (Ger/Eng).Uncluttered idiomatic Piano reduction.Full score and parts (BA5897) and vocal score (BA5897-90) available for sale.Chorale settings form a central part of Telemann?s ?uvre. His 1754 setting of the church hymn Christus Der Ist Mein Leben based on Melchoir Vulpius? melody from the Hamburg Hymnal is especially well-suited to display his mastery in depicting the words of the chorale. The so-called ?Ausfüllungsbass? (a vocal bass added tothe principal bass in tutti passages) was probably necessitated by the acoustical properties of Hamburg?s churches.This is the first Urtext edition of this highly successful chorale setting which is based on Georg Philipp Telemann Musical Works. The score contains a realisation of the continuo part.

Fassung IV-with the unfinished revision [1739] an an appendix. The St. John Passion ranks among the great vocal works from Bach?s Leipzig years. In contrast to his other large-scale choral works however Bach never gave this work a definitive final form. Rather for every performance he made numerous changes. All previous editions of the St. John Passion have combined readings from various layers of sources. The wish often expressed by conductors to perform an authentic version is made possible for the first time with the present edition in this fourth and final version which was performed under Bach?s direction in 1749. At the same time with the aid of the appendix it is possibleto perform the work in the traditional ?mixed version.?

Choralkantate. Par REGER MAX. The choral cantatas are Reger's most personal and most substantial contribution to one of the principal categories of Protestant church music, and they are only major works in this field by one of the foremost composers of his time. This is true despite the fact that Reger himself does not appear to have considered the cantatas to figure among his principal compositions, as he gave them no opus numbers. In contrast to the three other chorale cantatas of Reger which exist in a definitive form, there is no record of the place or date of the first performance of 'O wie selig', or indeed of any performance of it during the composer's lifetime./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, Paroisse, 2 Violons, A

Standard choral work with a manageable reduced orchestration.A stylistically appropriate as well as tried and tested arrangement.Compatible with Vocal score H 2924-90.Dvo ák?s Requiem for soloists choir and orchestra is one of the highlights within the international choral repertoire. Now Bärenreiter is presenting this work in an arrangement by Joachim Linckelmann with chamber Orchestra based on the full score from the Complete Edition of the Works by Anton n Dvo ák.The arrangement dispenses with all the brass instruments except for a single Horn; all that remains of the Percussion arethe Timpani; the Organ has also been taken out. The cor anglais and Bass Clarinet parts can be replaced by an Oboe and Clarinet (ossia staves in score and parts).This arrangement which judiciously reduces the richness of Dvo ák?s original orchestration makes the work available to a broader range of performers outside professional circles.

Features of the Barenreiter Urtext edition of Beethoven's Mass In C Major:Score with realisation of the Organ partBilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger) and Critical Commentary (Eng)Straight-forward Piano reductionFull score and performance material (BA9039) and Vocal score (BA9039-90) available for saleAmongst Beethoven’s sacred works are two settings of the Mass. The Mass In C Major was completed and premiered in 1807 and has been unjustly described as a preliminary step towards the great Missa solemnis. Yet it is a self-contained and for its time distinctly modernpiece of sacred music.Beethoven specialist Barry Cooper has drawn on a rich body of sources to suggests practical solutions to the work’s musical and interpretative problems. His in-depth study of the sources convinced him to include a fully realised Organ part in the score just as Beethoven envisioned it for the first printed edition. As stated in the original sources the parts for the soloists and choir are notated on joint staves to demonstrate that the soloists are also to sing the choral passages.This Barenreiter Urtext edition is rounded off with a foreword on the work’s genesis and a detailed critical commentary.

Sinfonia Und Kantate. Par BACH WILHELM FRIEDEMANN. Eine - bis auf den Schlusschoral - rein solistische Pfingstkantate des ältesten Bach-Sohnes ist eine lohnende 'Ausgrabung', da man Wilhelm Friedemann, wenn überhaupt, dann vor allem als Instrumentalkomponist kennt [Konzerte, Sinfonien, Orgel- und Cembalomusik]. Der Kantate vorangestellt ist eine ebenfalls aus Bachs Hallenser Zeit stammende dreisätzige Sinfonia, die mit ihren 2 Oboen und Hörnern bestens geeignet ist, in die festliche Pfingstkantate einzustimmen. Auch als eigenes Orchesterstück ist die Sinfonia ein attraktiver Programmpunkt./ Répertoire / Solistes SATB, Choeur SATB, 2 Flûtes Traversières,
