The twelve ?London Symphonies? comprise the sublime final statement of Haydn?s symphonic ?uvre. They were written for the London impresario Johann Peter Salomon and Haydn himself conducted their premieres during his lengthy stays in the English metropolis in 1791/92 and 1794/95. Hailing from 1791 the Symphony in D major no. 96 numbers among the first symphonies written in and for London. The epithet given to it by posterity ?The Miracle? was bestowed erroneously for the miracle ? that no one was injured when a chandelier fell during a concert ? took place during a performance of a different Haydn symphony. And yet it is a miracle of musical esprit nonetheless from the subtlerelations between the motives consisting of broken triads that open all four movements to the virtuosic shifts in mood owing to surprising harmonies Haydn here submits a prime example of how he develops musical ideas. This study edition adopts the musical text of the Haydn Complete Edition thereby guaranteeing the highest scholarly quality. An informative preface and a brief Critical Report make the handy score an ideal companion for all current and soon-to-be Haydn fans.

Jauchzet Gott In Allen Landen - Praise Ye God Throughout Creation BWV 51.Cantata for the 15th Sunday after Trinity.The solo cantata ?Jauchzet Gott In Allen Landen? written around 1730 for the 15th Sunday after Trinity is one of Bach?s best-known cantatas.The scoring for solo Soprano Trumpet Strings and Continuo is unique amongst Bach?s cantatas and has parallels with Italian composers of the period.The enduring popularity of the work is due to the clear and succinct formal structure and not least to the virtuoso Trumpet part and Soprano arias in which the soloists can demonstrate their total mastery.The cantata ispublished in a Vocal score based on the ?New Bach Edition? with an idiomatic straightforward Piano reduction by Martin Focke.- Famous work with a festive instrumental sound.- Urtext based on the ?New Bach Edition?.- Clear straightforward Piano reduction.- Study score (TP1051) performance material (BA10051) & Vocal score (BA10051-90) available for sale.

Par MURAIL TRISTAN. Sables reprend certains des partis pris d'Altitude 8000, en les poussant plus loin: absence d'événements ponctuels (aucun son percussif), continuité extrême (aucun silence, si ce n'est au début de la pièce...). Les notes sont considérées comme de simples 'grains de sable' dont l'accumulation va créer des formes, des 'dunes'. La pièce n'est pas encore véritablement spectrale, mais utilise déjà des phénomènes de résonance naturelle. La note de programme écrite à l'occasion de la création précise: 'Le système harmonique utilise les seuls points de référence objectifs... qui sont les résonances naturelles et le bruit blanc, symbolisé par le cluster. La trame harmonique est en évolution permanente: il n'y a pas à un moment donné 'une harmonie', mais un processus de transformation harmonique qui est en cours... Le parti pris non événementiel entraîne qu'il est impossible de distinguer des parties distinctes. On peut seulement considérer cinq régions séparées par des moments où le (les) processus d'évolution se renverse(nt). Tout est soumis à cette règle: trame harmonique, orchestration, densités, intensités, architecture à un moment donné. Toutefois les processus en cours dans chaque ordre de phénomène ne sont pas nécessairement concomitants, et il existe des processus 'croisés'... Le principe de continuité entraîne une écriture 'microcosmique': les notes n'ont pas d'importance par elles-mêmes. On ne les individualise pas, on entend seulement l'évolution qui résulte de leur présence... Tristan Murail / contemporain / Date parution : 1975-01-01/ Répertoire / Orchestre

String teachers have long turned to Ensembles for Strings to fulfill the need for easy to intermediate ensemble pieces for student string players. Familiar classical melodies are arranged here for 2 3 4 or moreplayers - even string orchestra. Each piece is scored to be playable in first position and in such a manner that maximum results will be achieved regardless of the instrumentation employed. All of the material has been carefullyedited and bowed and was performance tested by the string faculty at San José State University.

o.Op. 82 TrV 133- We are grateful to the University of Edinburgh Library Centre for Research Collections for providing us with access to a manuscript of this work. At shelf-mark Mus.M.645 is a set of parts in the hand of an unknown copyist annotated by John Parr (the bassoonist of Sheffield) who also wrote a full score and second copies of the bassoon and bass parts. The score is dated 1930 and the bassoon part 1934. It is here entitled merely 'duet for flute and bassoon with orchestra' and ascribed to R. Strauss.   We are also grateful for advice from Dr Christian Wolf of the Richard-Strauss-Institut in Munich whohave access to a copy of  'der Zweikampf' made by Cl. Schubert but the Richard-Strauss-Archiv in Garmisch-Partenkirchen will not permit them to make a complete copy for us but has permitted sample pages to be copied confirming the identity of the music. They also affirm the considerable doubt as to Richard Strauss being the composer however no other composer has been suggested in his stead.  In the Strauss bibliography a date of composition of 1884 is given when he was twenty years old.   We would also like to acknowledge with thanks the help of Drs Jenny Nex and Lance Whitehead of Edinburgh in deciphering the manuscript and advising on the piano reduction.   In editing the work we have corrected a few evident errors and made the dynamics consistent. There was no given tempo indication in some of the parts but Parr added 'allegro moderato' which is also the tempo indication in the Munich manuscript.  He also suggested the bass pizzicato in most of the polacca but perhaps this was intended only for the double bass should one be present. There are some discrepancies between the Edinburgh score and parts which we have resolved somewhat arbitrarily on musical grounds.  The differences between the Munich and Edinburgh versions are mostly small as far as we can discern; the

Gustav Mahler's symphonies tend to be scored for a large orchestra putting this wonderful music out of reach of many smaller orchestras. This arrangement whilst not simplifying the music attempts to remedy this by reducing the orchestral requirements. The original orchestration requires 3 flutes 3 oboes 3 clarinets 3 bassoons 7 horns 4 trumpets 3 trombones tuba timpani percussion and strings. Although in many of Mahler's symphonies each movement seems to be an integral part of the larger work we feel that this movement can stand alone quite happily and offers a good entry to the symphonic world of Gustav Mahler.
