This original represents traditional Cuban dance music that can either be performed with vocals or interpreted instrumentally, as is done in this case. The style of the guaracha, a cheerful rhythm that is played very fast, combines effectively with the rhythmical elements of the rumba complex.

This one of a kind album pairs two of the most performed Ave Maria's for violin and piano, meticulously edited by Jascha Heifetz' protege, Endre Granat. The first of these is Schubert's melody, which was originally composed as a setting of a song from Walter Scott's popular narrative poem The Lady of the Lake, titled, “Ellen's Third Song” (Ellens dritter Gesang). The opening words and refrain of Ellen's song, namely “Ave Maria” (Latin for “Hail Mary”), may have led to the idea of adapting Schubert's melody as a setting for the full text of the traditional Roman Catholic prayer. The Latin version of the song is now so frequently used with Schubert's melody that it has led to the misconception that he originally wrote the melody as a setting for the “Ave Maria.” The second Ave Maria in this collection was created when Gounod famously improvised the melody over the background of J.S. Bach's Prelude No. 1 in C major, BWV 846, from The Well-Tempered Clavier. Gounod's beatiful improvisation was transcribed by his future father-in-law Pierre-Joseph-Guillaume Zimmermann, which was published with the Bach keyboard accompaniment in 1835 under the title “Méditation sur le Premier Prélude de Piano de S. Bach.” Alongside Schubert's version, the Bach/Gounod Ave Maria has become a fixture at funerals, wedding masses, and quinceañeras. Both works have been recorded hundreds of times during the twentieth century.

The traditional Ubi Caritas text is uniquely set as an uptempo jazz waltz. Just one sentence in Latin plus a few English lyrics make it clear that this song is all about charity and love. As you've come to expect from this composer, the canon is a true skill-builder---with a modal melody that moves from unison to two and eventually three independent layers (using descant singers for 2-part choirs). Don't miss the jazzy flute obbligato available free online.

A Klezmer Wedding is a set of four dances, newly-composed but based on traditional models. The Doina is an expressive chant for three successive soloists; it twists and turns with the wailing lament of a shepherd's pipe. Next follows the Hora, a slow Rumanian dance in three with a mood that reflects the wedding's solemn vows. A Chusidl, with a moderate speed and bouncy rhythms, gets the party to the dance floor. The concluding Freylach (happy, but still in a minor key!) takes the bride, groom, and guests to the edge of frenzy. Titles: Chusidl * Doina * Hora * Freylach.

Of the 19 Masses by Dittersdorf which have been handed down, the present Mass, which is being published for the first time, enjoyed a special popularity during the composer's lifetime and it was even performed for the coronation of emperor Franz II in the Frankfurt Cathedral. This solemn, prestigious Mass shows evidence of choral movements in traditional contrapuntal church style as well solo parts with a modern, cantabile character. In addition, the Gloria includes a lengthy virtuosic violin solo, which also lends the work a concertante character (Dittersdorf was a professional violinist). Score and part available separately - see item CA.2703500.

Sa Música - ‘Our Music’ - is the music from Mallorca, an island with a long and difficult past. The work tells of the Greeks, who once erected a temple on the island; of the Romans who occupied the island; and of traditional processions that continue to take place. A Spanish fiesta and a lyrical section, which is inspired by a famous pirate poem, bring this work to a close with Spanish flair. This theme can also be sung in the original Spanish with one or more singers or choir (available separately: DHP 1125313-050).Sa Música, ‘Haar’ muziek, de muziek van Mallorca, een eiland met een bewogen geschiedenis. Het werk verhaalt van de Grieken die een tempel oprichtten op het eiland. En van de Romeinen die het eiland bezetten. Maar ook van de traditionele rooms-katholieke processies die daar nog steeds in ere worden gehouden. Een Spaanse fiesta en een lyrisch deel, gebaseerd op een beroemd piratengedicht, besluit dit werk met Spaanse flair. Dit thema kan worden gewzongen in het Spaans, met een of meer zangers/zangeressen of een koor (koorpartijen zijn separaat verkrijgbaar: DHP 1125313-050).Sa Música - ‘Ihre Musik’ - ist die Musik der Insel Mallorca, die auf eine bewegte Geschichte zurückblicken kann. Das Werk erzählt von den Griechen, die einst einen Tempel auf der Insel errichteten, von den Römern, die die Insel besetzten und von den traditionellen Prozessionen, die heute noch in Ehren gehalten werden. Eine spanische Fiesta und ein lyrischer Teil, der von einem berühmten Piratengedicht inspiriert ist, runden dieses Werk mit spanischem Flair ab. Dieses Thema kann auch von einem oder mehreren Sängern oder einem Chor zum originalen spanischen Text gesungen werden. Chorstimmen erhältlich: DHP 1125313-050.Sa Música évoque l’histoire et l’ambiance de l’île espagnole de Majorque, l’une des îles Baléares. L’oeuvre débute avec une introduction majestueuse s’inspirant de motifs grecs. Peu peu, les influences espagnoles se distinguent clairement dans le thème rapide qui vient ensuite, une véritable fiesta. A cette ambiance festive succède le calme, avec un lent passage lyrique que Jacob de Haan a composé sur le texte du célèbre poème sur les pirates, Canción del pirata. Une pièce pétillante ! Ce thème peut être interprété dans sa version espagnole d'origine ou chanté par un ou plusieurs chanteurs ou un choeur (voix disponibles séparément: DHP 1125313-050).Sa Música si ispira alla storia e alle atmosfere dell’isola di Mallorca nell’arcipelago delle Baleari. Il brano apre con una maestosa introduzione che vuole ricordare le gesta dei colonizzatori greci; segue un tema che riprende le tradizionali processioni che si tengono sull’isola e che anticipa un tema tipicamente spagnolo. A questa atmosfera festiva segue la calma con un passaggio lirico che Jacob de Haan ha composto sul testo del celebre poema Cancion del pirata.

A reflective composition that is not challenging and features an attractive part for a soloist at the beginning and end. The men’s parts provide a supportive, gently rocking accompaniment throughout, except for a unison verse and a lovely 4-part a cappella verse. This is a wonderful new tune to pair with Wesley’s timeless text when you want to venture beyond the traditional pairings (e.g., HYFRYDOL, STUTTGART).
