Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The publication of the new Urtext edition of Water Music makes the work available in a revised edition reflecting the latest research findings. In October 2004, the editor Terence Best found the oldest surviving manuscript score in the archives of the Royal Society of Musicians in London – primary source A, which can be dated to 1718. This discovery demands a dramatic reappraisal of what is probably Handel ’s most famous work. Until this find, the theory formulated by Barrett Lennard in 1950 was regarded as authoritative. He divided the material into three suites according to key and instrumentation. This was based on the fact that some ofthe material in the Water Music is the same as in the Concerto HWV 331. With the help of the latest technology, it has now been possible to date this Concerto to 1722. By doing this, the rationale for dividing the music into three suites has been removed. The newly found primary source A places the movements in a richly varied sequence of keys and instrumentations which offers a great range of colours than the previous arrangement. Based on new sources, editor Terence Best has been able to reconstruct the original order of the suites and correct many points left open or unclarified in earlier publications. - New critical edition based on new sources. - Detailed Prefaces (Ger/Eng). - Urtext of the “Halle Handel Edition”/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Long considered the noblest, most inspired musical treatment of the crucifixion of Christ, Bach's St. Matthew Passion remains an immensely popular work. First performed in the late 1720s, the great choral masterpiece was scored for a vast ensemble of double chorus, soloists, double orchestra and two organs. Richly dramatic and theatrical, its deeply moving story unfolds in recitatives, ariosos, arias, and majestic choral movements. Reproduced here from an authoritative early edition, the score appears with bar-numbered movements. Ideal for classroom or home study. / Musique religieuse / Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Cantata for the 1st Easter Day. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm Der Himmel Lacht! Die Erde Jubilieret BWV 31 (The Heavens laugh, the earth exults in gladness) BWV 31 Cantata for the 1st Easter Day - Performance material (BA10031), vocal score (BA10031-90) and study score (TP1031) available for sale. The text, by Salomon Franck who was the librettist of some of Bach 's the best-known cantatas, is closely linked to the account of Easter and recalls the jubilation at the resurrection of Jesus. Bärenreiter's editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No groupof works in Johann Sebastian Bach ’s output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasions such as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. This study score is based on the critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ” edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series “Works of Gioachino Rossini”. But who needs a new critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ”? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly, none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. Secondly, there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera, of great interest to both scholars andperformers. Thus the famous overture, which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera “Aureliano in Palmira”, differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in “Aureliano in Palmira”), which includes two Flutes, two Oboes and Timpani, or in the scoring for the subsequent opera “ The Barber Of Seville ” (with just one flute, one oboe and no timpani). A series of appendices contain music and information which have been included in no other edition of the opera to date. - Takes into account all original sources, also including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation. - Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini ’s personal notational characteristics. - With a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Miniature Score of D759 'Unfinished' and D944 'The Great'. Par SCHUBERT FRANZ. The least schooled of the great German musicians, Schubert amply compensated for his lack of formal training with his keen musical intuition and limitless melodic invention. This volume comprises two of his greatest and best-loved orchestral works. Although the Unfinished consists of only two movements, it is one of the composer's most popular compositions, cherished for the quiet intimacy of its emotion and its beautiful melody. Symphony No. 9 composed in the final year of Schubert's life, is his ultimate masterpiece- a vast work with extensive development and great breadth of musical ideas. Both are in full score with original instrumentation. Idealfor study purpose./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Mass in Time of War. Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Haydn was in England, in 1795, when he received word from his new Prince, Nicolaus II Esterházy, that the Esterházy orchestra was to be reformed, and Haydn was to serve again as active Capellmeister. Prince Nicolaus II demanded little from his Capellmeister, except the usual routine of administration; but Haydn was to compose, every year, a new Mass for the name day of the Princess Josepha Maria, which was celebrated the Sunday afterwards in the Bergkirche at Eisenstadt. It is known that a new Haydn mass was performed before a packed congregation in the Piaristenkirche in Vienna on St. Stephen’s Day (26 December) 1796. The writer of these notes examined – when preparingthis edition – the music archives of the church, and found contemporary parts on the Missa in tempore belli in the church; and it seems certain that this (and not the Heiligmesse) was the work performed on that occasion, and thus also the work which Haydn had just finished and performed in Eisenstadt.

Symphonie dramatique. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Romeo et Juliette Op. 17 Hol. 73: Symphonie dramatique For his third symphony ; Romeo et Juliette (1839) Berlioz turned to his greatest literary passion, Shakespeare, drawing once again on his own most fervent experiences. Berlioz's discovery of Shakespeare in 1827 had been overwhelming not only for the dramatic force of the poetry and drama, but also because the leading actress of the company, Harriet Smithson, immediately won his heart. She later became his wife. He began to think seriously about composing some kind of musical ; Romeo and Juliet but it was not realised until 1839. The symphony is scored for doublechorus (to represent the two warring families), solo voices as secondary characters, with the lovers themselves represented by the orchestra.

Par DEBUSSY CLAUDE. One of the most influential composers of the 20th century, Debussy overturned traditional concepts of form, harmony, rhythm, and orchestral coloration. Among his most popular works are the compositions in this volume, Prelude A ' L'Apres-Midi D'Un Faune and the Three Nocturnes, Clouds, Festivals and Sirens. The Nocturnes are described as 'exquisite, evocative models of Impressionism' and are all fantastic examples of the expressiveness and character of music from this period.
