Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Faced with the daunting legacy of Beethoven's symphonic works, Brahms took twenty years to shape his first symphony- a masterpiece that premiered in 1876 to great critical acclaim. The expansive Symphony No. 1 perfectly displays Brahm's ability to organise a variety of moods into a coherent whole. Published in full score, ideal for study purpose./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Miniature Score. Par MAHLER GUSTAV. Widely regarded as the crowning achievement of his career, Mahler's Symphony No. 8 received overwhelming recognition at its first performance in 1910. Scored for orchestra, eight solo voices, double chorus, boys' choir and organ./ 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
