Version of 1736 (final version)Bach’s St. Matthew Passion passed through several stages in its progress towards its final form stages that today cannot be completely reconstructed. It may be taken as certain that the work was performed on Good Friday 1729 in St. Thomas’s Church Leipzig in a version of which the copy made by Bach’s son-in-law Johann Christoph Altnickol gives us an approximate idea. There is no earlier extant autograph score than that of the later version which may probably be dated 1736 and on which the present edition is based.- Study score format 22.5 x 16.5cm- Urtext of the New Bach Edition-Full score performance material (BA5038) vocal score (BA5038-90) and study score (TP196) available for sale

3 Symphonic Sketches-'Maybe you don't know that I was intended for the fine career of a sailor…' was what Debussy wrote in a letter in which he tells about his work on La Mer. His passion for the sea remained despite his different career and brought him to compose the three symphonic sketches for orchestra. The initially conservative criticism of La Mer which can probably be attributed to the difference in style compared to the successful work 'Pelléas' could be reversed through a performance directed by Debussy in 1908 with overwhelming success.

Marking the first publication of an early work for chamber orchestra this study score presents Ralph Vaughan Williams's The Solent composed in 1903. The main theme from this work will be recognisable to many listeners as it later found its way into both the Sea Symphony and the Ninth Symphony albeit in a somewhat altered form. This duplication has intrigued many Vaughan Williams' scholars as has the Philip Marston quotation that prefaces the scores: 'Passion and sorrow in the deep sea's voice A mighty mystery saddening all the wind?'.The score has been edited by James Francis Brown and includes an introduction by theeditor.

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) is known for his unique composition style. Incorporating complex rhythms harmony melodies and his passion for ornithology his Opera Saint Francois D'Assise is no exception to the composer's popular distinctive style. Composed between 1975-1983 Saint Francois D'Assise displays the composer's devout Catholicism. The work is in three acts and eight scenes and both the music and libretto were written by Messiaen. Saint Francois D'Assise incorporates Messiaen's popular compositional techniques such as his modes of limited transposition use ofleitmotifs use of birdsong and an instrumentation for a huge orchestra. This piece also makes use of the composer's synesthesia. Saint Francois D'Assise is essential to all advanced Opera companies seeking to address a modern and varied performance work.

Orchestration-The Rose of Calvary is the greatly anticipated sequel to the best-selling cantata The Winter Rose. Using the same beautiful imagery the work tells the story of Jesus's ministry passion death on the cross and histriumphant resurrection. This creative work has nine new anthems and contains opportunities for soloists and narrators. Written to function as either a work for Holy Week or with the optional ending as a joyful celebration of theresurrection this musical offers maximum flexibility to the director. Brant Adams reprises his role as orchestrator and Pamela Martin once again provides thoughtful and meaningful narration. Spectacular!

Orchestration-The musical is narrated by Luke as he writes of Jesus's last days on earth. Highly effective when presented by choir and narrator but naturally suited for full staging. It may be performed in its entirety or in segments atseveral services. The words and music of this new Pepper Choplin cantata are very dynamic and will immerse the audience in the passion and intensity of the major events of Holy Week. As the character of Luke is deeply touched bythe story he is recording the choir and soloists assume his role in the drama. Once Upon a Tree was written for Pepper's own church Greystone Baptist Church in Raleigh North Carolina. The choir rehearsed the musical asit was being written and played a special role as the work was formed and perfected. It will be a profoundly moving experience for choirs and congregations.

DVD inclus La Direction d?orchestre est un ouvrage qui aborde les bases techniques musicales et artistiques essentielles pour une solide formation de chef d?orchestre, mais aussi une formation vocale ou instrumentale. Le chef d?orchestre en devenir trouvera dans ce manuel toutes les clés théoriques et pratiques nécessaires au développement de ses connaissances qui lui permettront de conduire l?orchestre avec aisance et passion : - Technique de base - Etude et préparation du répertoire - Les répétitions - Le concert - Sur le podium : cas pratique - Glossaire Traduction française par Aude Ameille de l?ouvrage En el podio paru aux Editions Boileau. Presse Cet ouvrage, éminemment pratique, n'en néglige pas, pour autant, tout l'aspect culturel de la direction. Si il est orienté prioritairement vers la conduite d'un orchestre, il s'attache aussi à la direction spécifique d'une harmonie, ou, encore plus spécifique, d'un choeur. Cet aspect a d'ailleurs été longtemps négligé et tous les chefs de choeur ou choriste ont connu ces chefs d'orchestre qui ne savait pas comment se conduire vis-à-vis d'un choeur lorsqu'ils dirigeaient une pièce pour choeur et orchestre. Bref, l'ouvrage est très complet. Il comporte cinq parties plus l'indispensable glossaire. La première partie est consacrée aux techniques de base correspondant à tout l'aspect corporel, de la tenue aux différentes battues. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'étude et la préparation du répertoire, exposées très en détail. La troisième est consacrée aux répétitions, la quatrième au concert. La cinquième partie fait en quelque sorte la synthèse en proposant d'appliquer l'ensemble à l'Alléluia du Messie de Haendel. L'ouvrage comporte aussi une copieuse et judicieuse bibliographie. Quant au DVD, il suit pas à pas l'exposé et ne comporte pas moins de trente-quatre chapitres divisés eux-mêmes en plusieurs sections. Il s'agit donc d'un outil de travail tout à fait remarquable et l'auteur explique en détail comment l'utiliser. Cette réalisation est donc une somme que le professionnel aussi bien que l'amateur éclairé pourra lire avec un grand intérêt et un grand profit. L'Education Musicale, n°94 (Juillet 2015)

Exit Music for Orchestra was composed by Bent Sørensen in 2006-07. Exit Music was commissioned by the Bergen International Festival for the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra and is dedicated to Per Nørgård on the occasion of his 75th birthday.Programme note It began with a dream as it always does when I compose. I dreamt that I was standing in an open doorway on a hill in an otherwise open landscape. I do not know what was behind the door but in front of it - towards the landscape - I 'saw' my music disappearing. I stood looking for the music and started to hear it to remember it in time with its disappearance.The dream continued to recur as strange pictures in my daydreams and I continued to try to write down the music that had vanished. It was also the dream that gave the piece its title- Exit Music. Exit Music is based on three simple songs (the songs that vanish through the doorway): a little lullaby which continues to reappear in fragments; a strange polyphonic pop song that refers to a section of my opera Under the Sky; and a passionate little love song which concludes the piece on the strings very quietly and in unison. These simple songs are then constantly overpainted by enervating repeated motes in fairly simple rhythms which push the songs out of the room. (Bent Sørensen)
