Par HAYDN FRANZ JOSEF. Along with Symphonies Nos. 76 and 77 Haydn composed Symphony No. 78 for a journey to England that never took place. Nonetheless, H. C. Robbins Landon referred to these works as the 'English Symphonies” as they are stylistically closely linked to 'the London Bach”, Johann Christian Bach. In a letter Haydn wrote to his Paris publisher Charles-Georges Boyer in 1783, he described the works as 'Leicht und nicht vil Concertirend”, meaning they were light in spirit and did not contain extensive solo passages but rather a clear sense of classical form. Continuing the cooperation between Bärenreiter and the G. Henle publishing company regarding Haydn's large-scale choral works, operas, and symphonies, this edition is based on the G. Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn”. To date, Bärenreiter has published the complete performance material for several of Haydn's 'Sturm und Drang” symphonies as well as the complete London and Paris symphonies. / Date parution : 2019-09-06/ Répertoire / Orchestre

In 1717 Telemann composed his cantata 'Gott der Hoffnung erfülle euch? for the first day of Whitsun based on a text by Erdmann Neumeister. It forms part of the 'Concerten-Jahrgang?, also known as 'Das Harmonische Zion? or 'Italienischer Jahrgang? where all the cantatas are conceived as concertos for vocal and instrumental parts and have been colourfully scored. This particular work includes two oboes, two Corni da Caccia and strings. Vocal soloists, choir and instruments alternate and have equal musical standing in this festive Whitsun cantata which provides a valuable addition to the church service or concert repertoire. - Urtext edition based on 'Georg Philipp Telemann, Musical Works?- Cantata for the first day of Whitsun- Ideal for church services and concerts- An attractive addition to the repertoire with a view to the 250th anniversary of Telemann's death (2017) / Coeurs Et Orchestre
