Autograph: Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preußischer Kulturbesitz-?I have never experienced such silence or seen an audience moved in this way.?(Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy)Up to the present day there has scarcely been a work in the history of music which has fascinated listeners and performers more than Bach?s ?St Matthew Passion?. Originally composed for Vespers on Good Friday and even longer in duration than the ?St John Passion? it reconstructs the story of Christ?s Passion with immense musical emotional and spiritual intensity.And so this monumental and complex composition has come to rank amongst the high points of Western culture. For good reason the ?rediscovery? of Johann Sebastian Bach?s music began in 1829 with theperformance of this work by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy and the Berlin Singakademie.The autograph manuscript is regarded as one of Bach?s most beautiful the fair copy demonstrates the importance he attached to the careful preservation of the work for posterity. A further special feature is the coloured ink with which he wrote the biblical text and the music of the chorale ?O Lamm Gottes unschuldig?.This facsimile edition reproduces the autograph score of the ?St Matthew Passion? for the first time in high-quality colour printing. The Bach specialist Christoph Wolff introduces the background to the work?s composition and the characteristics of the manuscript.Martina Rebmann (Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin) provides further details regarding the history of the autograph manuscript; with a preface by Barbara Schneider-Kempf general director of the Staatsbibliothek.BÄRENREITER FACSIMILEThe seal is used exclusively for facsimile editions published by Bärenreiter which meet the highest demands in both scholarly and technical terms.The distinguishing features include:- a facsimile in high-quality colour printing- scholarly commentary- attractive cover designFacsimile of the authograph score in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin - Preussischer Kulturbesitz.With a commentary by Christoph Wolff Martina Rebmann and Barbara Schneider-Kempf.Documenta musicologica II 47166 pages of facsimile and approx. 30 pages commentary (Eng/Ger)Format: 37.5 x 24cm; Half-leather binding hardbackISBN 978-3-7618-2294-4

Par PENARD OLIVIER. Méconnu du grand public de part sa publication précoce, l'Anneau de paix de Paul Eluard dit le parcours initiatique d'une foi nouvellement retrouvée dans un contexte d'angoisse et de tendresse alternées, de passion et d'ascétisme. Composée de trois parties, la musique est tout d'abord chargée de dissonances pour ensuite se détendre sur le vers 'pour venir embrasser tes lèvres'. Un contrepoint dense, aux harmonies suaves et délibérément diatoniques, conduit à une seconde partie où la dimension érotique du texte est évoquée grâce à une grande plasticité de la matière vocale, une polytonalité clairement répartie entre les différents groupes. Composés dans l'empreinte sereine de mi majeur, les derniers vers du poème sont chantés en duo par le ténor et le baryton solo, incarnation énigmatique d'une paix où le trouble demeure. / contemporain / Répertoire / Choeur

Written to commemorate the Passion of Christ, this cantata is a moving tribute to His life and ministry. Composed for maximum flexibility and scored for SA(T)B voices, the optional cued notes make it possible for the cantata to grow with your choir. Smaller choirs will enjoy the rich textures and larger ensembles will be able to engage their full resources. For churches that desire an instrumental component, a very modest consort instrumentation creates a reverent accompaniment. The narration contains scriptures and prayers to convey the graceful theme of Christ's sacrificial love. Ending with the crucifixion, A Gathering of Grace will set the stage for Easter morning. Songs include: Prelude of Shadows- In the Stillness of This Moment- Ask of Me- Palm Branches- A Light in the Upper Room- Jesus, in Gethsemane- The Day the Cross Held Up the Sky- A Green Hill Far Away- Recessional. Score and Parts (fl, cl, hn, perc, pno, hp, vn, vc) available as a Printed Edition and as a digital download.
