Vivaldi's international renown came about largely as a result of his concertos which were collated and of course performed throughout the courts of Europe. Quite unlike the concertos Vivaldi's voluminous output of sacred works was hardly known beyond the purlieus of their original performance. Following the composer's death they became increasingly unknown and even today it is difficult to say how many pieces of church music Vivaldi composed.As few of Vivaldi’s church compositions can be dated on the basis of written or stylistic evidence the origins of the Gloria In D remain shrouded with conjecture.Rather than being conceived aspart of a larger Mass setting the Gloria is an independent work a cyclical composition of broad design consisting of twelve self-contained movements. Stylistically it closely resembles a concertante Mass.This Urtext edition of Vivaldi’s ever-popular work provides you with an accurate realisation of the composer’s original intentions with thoroughly detailed editorial markings and suggestions as edited by Klaus Burmeister.

Six Motets Op.169 for Mixed Chorus Based on texts by Franz Kafka and scored for mixed chorus (SATB). Ernst Krenek (1900-1991) “One need have no hesitation about designating my writing of the past ten years as dodecaphonic since the twelve tones are always in close proximity. It is atonal since it rejects tonal centers. I only occasionally employ the stricter disciplines of the dodecaphonic and serial techniques since I am more interested in a suppler writing style. I have nothing to do with new tendencies like ‘New Simplicity’ ‘Neoromanticism’ ‘Minimalism’ and so forth.” (Ernst Krenek 1989) Evenduring his lifetime Ernst Krenek who left behind an oeuvre of more than 240 works when he died at the age of 91 held quite an extreme position in music history. Because of his great versatility critics in Europe often spoke of him as constantly changing his “style of composing ” tacitly implying that a creative life must be stylistically uniform. In the United States however he was deemed the “one-man history of twentieth-century music ” a unique and nearly unbelievable fact Krenek lived up to through his creation of work that spans more than seven decades of the twentieth century from the end of the 1910s until the end of the 1980s. When taken seriously this bon mot does not refer to the temporal concordance of his works or his participation in the latest developments in music throughout his life; it rather points to his role as a twentieth-century contemporary.
