The tune Old Hundredth is one of the best-known melodies in all Christian musical traditions and first appeared in the 1551 psalter Pseaumes Octante Trois de David, where it is used as a setting for a version of Psalm 134; it is usually attributed to the French composer Louis Bourgeois (c.1510 - c.1560). The melody was then used in 1561 by the Scots clergyman, William Kethe in Sternhold and Hopkins’ Psalter for his paraphrase of Psalm 100 - All People that on Earth do Dwell<(I>, which is still the most familiar hymn sung to this noble tune. When Tate and Brady’s New Version of the Psalms was published in 1696, the melody became know as the ‘old’ version - henceits current title. This arrangement presents three contrasting verses and is effective as a concert piece as well as an instrumental interlude as part of a church service or wedding.

De melodie van Old Hundredth is een van de bekendste in alle christelijke muziektradities, ze verscheen voor het eerst in Pseaumes Octante Trois de David uit 1551. De muziek wordt meestal toegeschreven aan de Fransecomponist Louis Bourgeois (ca.1510-ca.1560). In 1561werd de melodie gebruikt door de Schotse geestelijke William Kethe voor zijn parafrase van psalm 100. Later werd de melodie in Engeland bekend als de ‘oude’ versie - daar komt ookde huidige titel vandaan. Dit arrangement, met drie contrasterende coupletten, is geschikt als concertwerk of als instrumentaal tussenspel tijdens een kerkdienst of huwelijksceremonie.

Old Hundtredth ist eine der bekanntesten Melodien aller christlichen Musiküberlieferungen. Es erschien erstmals in dem Psalter Pseaumes Octante Trois de David von 1551, wo es als Satz für zwei Psalmen verwendet wurde. Diese Bearbeitung präsentiert drei kontrastierende Strophen und kann sehr wirkungsvoll sowohl als Konzertwerk als auch als instrumentales Zwischenspiel in einem Gottesdienst oder während einer Hochzeitszeremonie eingesetzt werden.

L’hymne Old Hundredth est une des plus célèbres hymnes chrétiennes de tous les temps. Elle fut publiée pour la première fois en 1551 dans le psautier de Genève Pseaumes octante-trois de David avec accompagnement du Psaume 134. La mélodie est fréquemment attribuée au compositeur français Louis Bourgeois (vers 1510-vers 1560).En 1561, William Kethe, un pasteur écossais, reprend la mélodie pour réaliser une paraphrase du Psaume 100, All People that on Earth do Dwell (Vous tous, habitants de la terre !), qui sera publiée dans le Psautier de Sternhold et Hopkins. Cette paraphrase reste le texte le plus chanté sur la mélodie de Bourgeois. En 1696,Nahum Tate et Nicholas Brady réalisent une Nouvelle Version des Psaumes de David (New Version of the Psalms). Par opposition la version révisée de la mélodie, la version initiale prend alors le nom de Old Hundredth, autrement dit « l’ancienne version du Psaume 100 ».Cet arrangement présente trois strophes contrastantes. Il peut être interprété comme une œuvre de concert ou comme un interlude dans le cadre d’un office religieux ou d’une cérémonie de mariage.

This present edition follows a double aim: to assist music students in getting acquainted with and growing fond of the music in Bach's time on the one hand and to prepare and facilitate teaching and studying Bach's small preludes, on the other. To meet the latter objective the more difficult dances and suite movements prove to be the most suitable. It is primarily a practical edition that follows closely the original music material. The original slurring has, however, been changed due to teaching purposes and in the interests of easier study (in several cases by omitting the original or by adding the most essential phrasing and articulation slurs). Suggestions for tempo,performance, dynamics and fingering have also been given. The eventually unusual fingering in some places promotes correct phrasing, articulation. Original ornaments that would pose considerable difficulties for the students have been omitted while the ones that can eventually be omitted depending on the rechnical skill of the students have benn put in brackets. In such cases an easier solution is, however, always indicated above the original in brackets. This does not exclude naturally that students capable of properly executing the original ornaments of these works without the distortrion of the melkody arches and rhythm should not play them in their full, not simplified form. Piano students on advanced level are recommended to compare the present edition with other, original text editions which disclose ornaments in their original form. As an example two pieces of this collection have been included in the appendix in the form they appear in the original text edition. This attempt provides possibilities both for the teachers and students to assess the nature and extent of editorial alterations. The name of the composer has only been indicated in case where it could be unambiguously identified.

Unsere Ausgabe hat ein doppeltes Anliegen. Einerseits will sie den Schülern helfen, mit der zeitgenössischen Musik Bachs bekannt zu werden und an ihr Gefallen zu finden, anderseits soll sie den Unterricht bzw. das Erlernen der kleinen Präludien Bachs vorbereiten und erleichtern. Für die letztgenannte Aufgabe sind die schwierigeren Tänze und Suitensätze am geeignetsten.

The unbroken popularity of Vanhal's sole double bass concerto in competitions and for practice and concert purposes is reason enough for us to publish the work in Breitkopf Urtext. The edition profits from Tobias Glockler's experience of many years. As with the other great double-bass concertos of the classical Viennese repertoire (Dittersdorf, Hoffmeister), Glockler arrives at convincing solutions. He began by filtering out a solid musical text from the source (which was not always free of contradictions) that was supplied with many additions. The disposition of the solo part required detailed knowledge of performance practice, since the work was written in the historical Viennese double bass tuning, and a few passages cannot be played without difficulty on a modern instrument. As with Dittersdorf and Hoffmeister, the piano reduction makes it possible to use three different double-bass tunings (solo, orchestral and Viennese). Moreover, it contains the editor's virtuoso cadenzas as well.I have performed the Vanhal in Viennese tuning and it was my thesis topic so I am thrilled to see an edition that makes this tuning so accessible. I highly recommend this all-encompassing edition. (Marian Heckenburg, Stringendo).

This is a modern performing edition of the Mass to the Blessed Virgin by Josquin. In the 16th century, this was the best known mass by the most celebrated composer of the day. It is a troped mass, with textual additions to the Gloria making it appropriate for a Marian service. It is also varied in style and demonstrates a mastery which is exemplary of Josquin's late works. Published in the Fazer Editions of Early Music series - a choral series under the editorial supervision of Paul Hillier, founder and artistic director of the renowned Hilliard Ensemble. Although each title in this series is the result of careful scholarly research and is a reliable source for musicologists, the series' main purpose is to make practical performing editions available to choirs and other vocal ensembles. The original C clefs have been replaced by G and F clefs and the note values adapted to conform to modern practice. All the works in the series are intended for mixed voices. Each title includes a lengthy introduction in English and notes on the editorial principles. Where necessary, an English translation of the text and a guide to pronunciation are provided.
