Rodelinda Regina de' Longobardi HWV 19; Opera in three acts.After Giulio Cesare and Tamerlano Rodelinda is the third masterly opera that Handel composed between December 1723 and January 1725. The words were written by Nicola Haym the author of many other Handel librettos. The first performance took place at the King’s Theatre in the Haymarket London on 13 February 1725. Rodelinda thrives entirely on the ethical supremacy of conjugal love and thus prefigures the great operas by Gluck and Beethoven on the same subject. The plot is taken from the history of the Lombard royalty. Oskar Hagen’s revival of Rodelinda in 1920 ushered in the modern Handel operamovement.The work forms the climax to a series of dramatic masterpieces that includes Handel’s most significant operas. Handel returned to Rodelinda on two occasions in December 1725 and in May 1731. Many far-reaching changes were necessary owing to the different skills of the new singers. For example Handel wrote three new arias and a duet for the first revival. Yet the changes he made for this performance doubtless to accommodate the needs and wishes of the singers also improve the work’s dramatic substance.Our vocal score is based on the Urtext of the full score published in the Halle Handel Edition (II/16) and reproduces the various alternative readings and versions in an appendix.Urtext of the Halle Handel Edition.Full score (BA4064) & vocal score (BA4064-90) available for sale.Performance material (BA4064-72) available for hire

Par . “Una voce poco profonda”: Curtain up for Trouser Roles and Heroines Whether the voice is lyric light or heavy, whether it can master coloratura, perhaps even has dramatic potential – in the OperAria mezzo-soprano and alto volumes, singers with a deeper voice and a special talent for the trouser role through to the heroine find everything they need for their performance.

It was to her teacher Henri Busser professor of counterpoint at the Conservatoire de Paris that young composer and organist Henriette Roget (1910-1992) dedicated in 1934 the Four French Ballads composed to the poetry of Paul Fort (1872-1960). Nicknamed “the northern cicada” by Mistral this friend of Verlaine Mallarmé and Apollinaire began his career as a symbolist playwright at the Théâtre des Arts before deciding to focus exclusively on poetry. His French Ballads mingled popular feeling creative fantasy and rhythmic elasticity – an alliance that would inspire musicians as diverse asHonegger Caplet and Brassens. Roget detested works of bravura and bombastic grandiloquence; Paul Fort’s verse provided fertile material for her inclination toward sincerity spontaneity and unembellished lyricism. In “Le Bonheur” “Il nous faut aimer sur terre” “Si le bon dieu l’avait voulu” and “Le Diable dans la nuit” the music translates the beating of hearts and the vibrations of light with a delicacy and a naturalness that brush the very depths of the soul. Through each of these pure crystals a precious gift shines: the art of suggestion. I. Le Bonheur II. Il nous faut aimer sur terre III. Si le bon dieu l’avait voulu IV. Le Diable dans la nuit  

Ved udgivelsen af den 10. udgave af HØJSKOLESANGBOGENS MELODIBOG er der arbejdet ud fra en mÃ¥lsætning om at Melodibogen skal være brugervenlig og enkel at gÃ¥ til - ogsÃ¥ for mindre øvede pianister - og at akkompagnementet skal virke befordrende og inspirerende for fællessangen. Mange af klaverudsættelserne er de originale i den udstrækning de har foreligget men vi har arbejdet ud fra følgende overordnede principper og ideer:Alla breveVi ved at fællessangstempi i de enkelte sange er steget betydeligt i Ã¥renes løb. Vi har derfor i mange tilfælde valgt at notere sangene i en alla breve fornemmelse. Dermed har vi ogsÃ¥ bevidst bevæget os væk fra dentraditionelle 4-stemmige homofone koralstil og i stedet lavet overbindinger i understemmerne hvor dette mÃ¥tte give mening. PÃ¥ den mÃ¥de har klaversatserne forhÃ¥bentlig fÃ¥et en mere naturlig strøm til hjælp for sangerne. Notationsmæssigt har vi valgt at forlade den traditionelle 4-stemmige koralstil hvor man til enhver tid finder sopran og alt i højre hÃ¥nd og tenor og bas i venstre. Vi har valgt at vise ret præcist hvilke toner der spilles i henholdsvis højre og venstre hÃ¥nd. Denne notationsform gÃ¥r naturligvis ud over stemmeføringsoverblikket men er forhÃ¥bentlig til hjælp for den enkelte pianist.TonearterLigesom det var tilfældet i 17. udgave af Højskolesangbogen har vi mÃ¥tte bøje os for at danskerne har sværere ved at synge de høje toner end de havde tidligere. Vi har derfor transponeret en del satser ned hvilket i nogle tilfælde har medført akkordomlægninger for at fÃ¥ satsen til at klinge tilfredsstillende. Vi har desuden forsøgt at undgÃ¥ tonearter med for mange faste fortegn.Rytmisk notationI sagens natur er der langt flere sÃ¥kaldt 'rytmiske' satser i denne udgave end tidligere. Det er altid problematisk at konstruere en klaversats der til fulde lever op til den feeling og autenticitet man kender. OgsÃ¥ i disse satser er brugervenligheden prioriteret højt og det er da op til den enkelte at

80 Arrangements For Weddings And Celebrations. What would love be without music - or music without love! Many couples associate unforgettable beautiful hours, a first meeting, or first kiss with a particular song. And composers have always been inspired and stimulated by love, have celebrated romantic love and longing from afar, secret love, and jealousy. In her selection of 80 songs from seven centuries, Mirjam James evokes this tremendous feeling with the most beautiful songs ranging from medieval courtly songs, through Beethoven's Ich liebe dich, to the Beatles song And I love her. Many of the songs come from German and English language traditions, but what would such a book be without the fire of southern Europe or a dose of French charm, without the moving melodies of cool northern climes, or the melancholy songs of the Russian soul? This beautifully-produced song book is illustrated with the sumptuous paintings of Gustav Klimt, for whom love was one of the great themes of his life. The song book contains a CD with recordings of all the songs in instrumental versions so you can sing along with the pieces and get to know them. A piano book is published alongside the song book, containing all the songs in idiomatic, playable accompaniments. Whether it's for an engagement or a wedding, for Valentine's Day or an anniversary, Liebeslieder makes an ideal present for those newly in love or still in love, and who also love music./ Répertoire / Chant et Piano
