Carl Maria von Weber's fame rests mainly on ?Der Freischütz'. The unprecedented success of this opera overshadowed all his other works and contributed to their increasing fall into oblivion. Certain works such as ?Preciosa', ?Oberon', and ?Euryanthe', the overtures, solo concertos and piano sonatas, the lieder and chamber works enjoyed great popularity and were widely known in Germany and abroad as late as the second half of the 19th century. However, any chance of a revival of Weber's influential and substantial oeuvre was wasted in the 1920s, when a complete edition - begun by Hans Joachim Moser and with potential contributors including Wilhelm Kempff, Hans Pfitzner, Max von Schillings, Fritz Stein and Richard Strauss - failed after the third volume.Ever since there have been numerous attempts to restart a complete edition of Weber's works, but as this kind of project would have required the co-operation of scholars from both sides of the inter-German border, the political situation after 1945 was not conducive to any such enterprise. Careful negotiations led to the first tangible steps in the 1980s. The intention, right from the beginning, was to place Weber's work in context, and not to separate his musical output from his influential work as a writer, critic and organiser in the musical field, but to publish his compositions together with his letters, diaries and other literary output as the best way to document the cross-fertilisation between his musical, literary and practical activities.Since the German re-unification both working-parties concerned - at the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin, and at the Musikwissenschaftliches Seminar, Detmold/Paderborn - have co-operated on the complete edition of the musical works (c. 45 volumes in 10 series: sacred music - cantatas, odes and other occasional works - stage works - lieder and vocal works - orchestral works - chamber music - music for piano - piano reductions - miscellanea, arrangements and orchestrations - works of doubtful attribution). The diaries (6-8 vols.) are edited in Berlin and the letters (8-10 vols.) and other writings (2 vols.) in Detmold. This complete edition aims to be a reliable basis of scholarly debate as well as for the authentic performance practice of Carl Maria von Weber's music. Conforming to the standards of recent historico-critical editions, the textual material will be based on all available authentic sources, accompanied by a detailed documentation of the genesis and a list of variants for each work. The musicological importance of the works will be evaluated by placing them in their historical context, the presentation of their genesis, history and Critical Commentaries. The letters, writings and diaries will be treated as inter-related and relevant to each other in the commentaries, therefore readers should benefit from a wealth of concise information and cross-references. / Score

Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 is a work which has both fascinated and perplexed musicologists and performers for many years. It forms by far the larger part of the composer's first significant publication of sacred music entitled: 'Of the most blessed virgin a Mass for six voices for church choirs and Vespers for more voices with several sacred concertos suitable for princely chapels or apartments'. By the time this publication appeared Monteverdi had been in the service of the Gonzaga court at Mantua for at least 18 years and he was seeking a change of employment so that the dedication of the volume to the reigning pope Paul V may be interpreted as a form ofself-advertisement. Originally issued as an Urtext study score the edition is based closely on the extant printed source the set of partbooks published at Venice in 1610 and retains the original note values key and mensuration signatures.

Joy to the World gets a gospel remake in this choral setting based on the recording by the contemporary group Avalon. A great feature for community performances!Available separately: SATB SAB and SSA. Instrumental ePakand ChoirTrax CD also available. Performance time approx. 3:50.

Trois Esquisses Symphoniques-Claude Debussy's La Mer is an impressionistic work through and through. The three symphonic sketches that make up the work were composed between 1903-1905 however Debussy refined this work up until at least 1913. These corrections are found in a score which the composer gave to his wife as a present for her private library in 1913.The new scholarly-critical edition draws on several important sources previously unavailable to musicologists resulting in an array of new readings and corrections. In addition there are many changes especially in terms of articulation and dynamics.This new edition includes the famous ?fanfare? inMovement III clearly marked in small print and brackets. This fanfare was excised in the 1910 reissue of the work but was reinstated by a number of great conductors who knew Debussy i.e. Monteux Münch Mitropoulos and Ansermet. They felt that the excision was a misunderstanding and that the fanfare was necessary for the structure of the movement. And so the Bärenreiter edition presents the revival of a performing tradition which is committed to the fanfare.New Urtext edition with numerous corrections in comparison to other editions.Important sources which were previously inaccessible have been taken into account.Score and orchestral parts in large format (25.5 x 32.5cm).Score and orchestral parts with an impeccable generous layout.Includes an informative introduction (Eng/Fr/Ger) facsimiles source descriptions and a Critical Commentary (Eng).

Par PEPIN CAMILLE. Lorsque l'on m'a demandé d'écrire une ouverture pour la série 'Roulement de timbales', j'ai immédiatement eu à l'esprit quelque chose de vaste et puissant. J'ai alors pensé à la récente découverte de Laniakea, ce superamas de galaxies comptant parmi les plus grandes structures de l'Univers. Découvert en 2014 par Hélène Courtois (1), Laniakea signifie 'paradis céleste incommensurable' en hawaïen. A l'intérieur de ce superamas, les galaxies sont en mouvement et convergent vers un même point appelé le Grand Attracteur. Il faut imaginer des courants de galaxies dont toute la matière se déverse au même endroit - comme au coeur d'une vallée - à une vitesse folle de 630 km/s. Immensité, mouvement, vitesse, lumière... ont été les mots qui m'ont guidée en composant. Ce scénario d'un horizon céleste si grand est une source d'inspiration foisonnante de couleurs pour mon imaginaire d'orchestratrice ! J'ai donc eu l'envie de trouver des résonances musicales à ce monde fascinant de l'infiniment grand. Comme la Symphonie n°103 de Haydn, Laniakea s'ouvre sur un roulement de timbales. Il reviendra durant la pièce sous différents formes : parfois 'à nu', parfois en fond sonore ou encore en relais avec la grosse caisse. Laniakea se présente comme une fresque cosmique articulée en trois épisodes précédés d'une introduction et achevés par une coda. Puissante et majestueuse, l'introduction présente un thème aux cuivres et aux cloches sur un roulement de timbales. Les cordes constituent un 'mur du son' résonnant et vibrant. La matière se transforme progressivement. Les bois se fondent dans les cordes et deviennent liquides. Le thème de cuivres se déployant sur cette texture miroitante devient de plus en plus doux, finit par se dissoudre et laisse place à la lumière. La première grande partie commence par un motif de hautbois, glockenspiel et harmoniques de cordes aiguës : autant de particules lumineuses tentant de percer dans ce ciel immense. Le vibraphone et les bois créent une nappe réverbérante et contribuent à donner à ce passage une couleur céleste et scintillante. La texture devient plus rythmique avec la naissance d'un motif tournoyant et répétitif aux altos. Dans cet épisode hypnotique, le thème de l'introduction est rappelé aux cloches et aux cors. Il s'intensifie. La matière se répand. Glockenspiel et harmoniques - touches lumineuses - sont nimbés de vent stellaire avec le roulement de cymbale suspendue. Un thème plus lyrique et envoûtant apparaît aux violoncelles. Il sera présenté avec différentes couleurs en passant aux violons puis aux altos. L'apparition du glissando mib-ré aux trombones est un signal : nous passons progressivement dans la seconde partie. Le motif rythmique s'éteint et la matière devient de plus en plus nébuleuse. Dans cette partie plus sombre, ce demi-ton est omniprésent : glissé aux cors, en harmoniques chez les cordes, plaintif chez les bois. Ici, j'ai voulu exprimer le mystère de ce Grand Attracteur, de ce glissement vertigineux de matière happée par le vide. Les amas en apesanteur deviennent de plus en plus épais et s'enrichissent. La matière finit par gronder et donne naissance à un passage flottant, brumeux et plus lyrique. Une quinte grave et mystérieuse aux trombones annonce la fin de cette partie. Les trompettes nous rappellent le thème de cuivres de l'introduction. A leurs impulsions correspondent des échos dans les bois - comme la queue d'une étoile filante qui brille encore après son passage. Le dernier épisode est une danse cosmique lumineuse et festive, teintée de couleurs célestes. J'ai imaginé un ballet hypnotique de nuées d'étoiles nimbées de poussière stellaire. Pour créer ce halo lumineux, j'ai animé les fonds par des croches répétées en guise de tenues et de légers soufflets pour leur donner de la vie. En composant, j'ai également eu à l'esprit certaines textures des jeux d'orgue. Cette danse est basée sur un motif rythmique en boucle qui voyage entre les groupes : un ballet étourdissant et hypnotique d'étoiles se déplaçant à des vitesses hallucinantes. Il aboutit à un premier climax lyrique et flamboyant. Un dernier pas de deux d'étoiles se poursuit et exulte en s'embrasant dans un grand crescendo de lumière. Un roulement de timbales soudain nous ramène à l'immensité et la puissance initiales. Cette grande coda nous rappelle que Laniakea est un horizon céleste immense que nous ne pouvons appréhender. Au loin, la lumière s'éteint progressivement. La matière se désagrège et finit par se perdre dans l'espace. Camille Pepin / Date parution : 2020-08-21/ Répertoire / Orchestre

Haunting and Sublime: Ack Värmeland du sköna-This arrangement is based on the Swedish folksong Ack Värmeland du sk÷na. (Oh Värmeland You Fair and Lovely Place). The lyrics of the song speak of the beauty of the landscape and the wonderful nature of the people that live there. Although the folksong is presented with some alterations an attempt is made to capture the attractiveness of the melody and the sentiments expressed in the lyrics. This piece was inspired by Gary Garner who expressed a need in the band literature for pieces with artistic value that are appropriate for intensive rehearsal and public performance are easy enough for many bands to play and give the ensemble a chance to work on intonation balance and phrasing.
