Cherubini owes his fame as a church composer primarily to the 'Requiem in C minor? of 1817. It was held in extraordinarily high esteem by such composers as Beethoven and Schumann and served as a model for early 19th-century Requiem settings. Dispensing entirely with solo voices, it captivates with its rigorous formal concentration and its restrained use of musical resources in both choir and orchestra.This Urtext edition takes into account not only the autograph score with 'spartitino? (additional instruments written in by hand) but also the first edition and a copyist's manuscript.Rounding off this exemplary Urtext publication is an informative Introduction and a Critical Commentary (Eng).- Cherubini's well-known Requiem in a definitive Urtext edition- Bilingual Foreword (Eng/Ger)- Idiomatic, uncluttered piano reduction / Alto II

Handel Coronation Anthems in Urtext editions for the first time'Zadok the Priest?(BA 10258) and 'The King shall rejoice?(BA 10259) are the best-known of the four coronation anthems that Handel wrote for the crowning of George II in London (1727). HWV 258 accompanied the king's anointment, HWV 260 his actual coronation.Thanks to their festive and majestic structure befitting the occasion as well as their spacious scoring for large choir and orchestra, it comes as no surprise that motifs from 'Zadok the Priest? have found their way into the official hymn of the UEFA Champions League.The present editions by the authoritative Handel scholar Stephan Blaut are the first to offer these two anthems based on the Urtext from the 'Halle Handel Edition?.- Bilingual Forewords (Ger/Eng)- Idiomatic piano reductions- Based on the Halle Handel Edition / Ensemble A Vent
