(Sacred Choir Music). Here the term ?Chor? (Choir) refers not only to a (large) Vocal ensemble but more generally to a group of musicians vocal or instrumental. As explained by Schutz in the foreword he published withthe collection all parts of the motets can be performed vocally and/or instrumentally.This practice common in Schutz?s time has been incorporated into Bärenreiter?s new publication. The edition includes the twelve five-part motets at original pitch with Basso Continuo. In addition instrumental parts for String and Wind instruments can be purchased. These parts which include the text serve to support and complement the choral sound ?colla parte?. To enable varying tone-colour possibilities instrumental parts are available in different transpositions.Of great significance is the detailed foreword on performance practice by Manfred Cordes.Manfred Cordes is a specialist for the music of the 16th and early 17th centuries. He works as professor for music theory counterpoint and ensemble and is also rector of the ?Hochschule für Künste Bremen?. He performs internationally as the director of the ensemble ?Weser-Renaissance Bremen?.

Volume 1-Works for Male Choir / Works for Equal Voices Volume 1Niels W. Gade. Werks Volume IV/10Niels Wilhelm Gade (1817?1890) WorksEdited by the Foundation for the Publication of the Works of Niels W. Gade CopenhagenNiels W. Gade is one of the leading Danish composers of the nineteenth century. However only about half of his prolific ?uvre has appeared in print. Given this fact and the growing current interest in Gade there is an urgent need for a scholarly-critical Urtext edition of his music to meet the demands of both scholars and performers.This edition will contain all of Gade's completed compositions and separate movements as wellas the arrangements he made of his own works and those of other composers. In general the main text presents the ?definitive? version based on Gade's personal copy of the printed work. However all the remaining sources have also been consulted for purposes of comparison. Every editorial decision is mentioned and justified in the critical report (English).

Autograph: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz-?I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.?(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy)Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach?s ?St Matthew Passion?. Originally composed for Vespers on Good Friday and even longer in duration than the ?St John Passion? it reconstructs the story of Christ?s Passion with immense musical emotional and spiritual intensity.And so this monumental and complex composition has come to rank amongst the high points of Western culture. For good reason the ?rediscovery? of Johann Sebastian Bach?s music began in 1829 with theperformance of this work by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the Berlin Singakademie.The autograph manuscript is regarded as one of Bach?s most beautiful the fair copy demonstrates the importance he attached to the careful preservation of the work for posterity. A further special feature is the coloured ink with which he wrote the biblical text and the music of the chorale ?O Lamm Gottes unschuldig?.This facsimile edition reproduces the autograph score of the ?St Matthew Passion? for the first time in high-quality colour printing. The Bach specialist Christoph Wolff introduces the background to the work?s composition and the characteristics of the manuscript.Martina Rebmann (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) provides further details regarding the history of the autograph manuscript; with a preface by Barbara Schneider-Kempf general director of the Staatsbibliothek.BÄRENREITER FACSIMILEThe seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.The distinguishing features include:- a facsimile in high-quality colour printing- scholarly commentary- attractive cover designFacsimile of the authograph score in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz.With a commentary by Christoph Wolff Martina Rebmann and Barbara Schneider-Kempf.Documenta musicologica II 47166 pages of facsimile and approx. 30 pages commentary (Eng/Ger)Format: 37.5 x 24cm; Half-leather binding hardbackISBN 978-3-7618-2294-4
