Dixit Dominus (Ps 109), a psalm setting for double choir, is one of Vivaldi's most significant sacred works. In it, he takes up the old Venetian polychoral tradition, combining its compositional techniques with those of the instrumental concerto, the cantata and the opera. The broadly conceived cycle of movements, consisting of eight psalm verses and the doxology, is characterized by an expansive arch of tonalities connecting the two framing outer movements in D major (these are also thematically related): Dixit Dominus and Gloria Patri. The contrasting and varied inner movements are perfect examples of Vivaldi's skill in vividly portraying linguistic figures in music. Score and part available separately - see item CA.4000700.

Composed by Josef Gabriel Rheinberger. Edited by Han Theill. Double bass. Sacred vocal music, Lent and Passiontide, Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Hymns in praise of the Virgin Mary. Single Part, Double Bass. Composed 1864. Op. 16. 8 pages. Duration 16 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 50.016/15. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.5001615).

ISBN 9790007222727. Key: C minor. Language: Latin/German.

Contemporary criticism saw in Rheinberger's Stabat Mater op. 16 from 1864 one of the most beautiful works of this type which the present time has to offer. Distinguished through its breadth of conception and its noble tonal effect, with its rich polyphony it reaches the masterpieces of the old Italian school. In the expressive choral movements rich-sounding homophonic passages are combined with sections worked out in strict polyphony. The sustained songlike solo pieces are of a profound expression. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5001600.

2nd Sunday after Trinity. Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Edited by Reinhold Kubik. Arranged by Reinhold Kubik. Hymns by Martin Luther: Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein. German title: Ach Gott, vom Himmel. Sacred vocal music, Cantatas. Single Part, Cello/Double Bass. Composed 1724. BWV 2. 12 pages. Duration 20 minutes. Carus Verlag #CV 31.002/14. Published by Carus Verlag (CA.3100214).

ISBN 9790007041373. Key: D minor. Language: German/English. Text: Luther, Martin. Text: Martin Luther.

Bach composed the cantata O God, from heaven look on us BWV 2 for the 2nd Trinity Sunday 1724 as the second cantata of the annual cycle of chorale cantatas. It is based on Martin Luther's rewriting of Psalm 112. The opening movement is one of a group of cantata opening movements which are not concertante but kept entirely in the motet style, with the instruments serving only to reinforce the singers. The archaic character of this movement is heightened by the addition of a trombone quartet. The concertante style is all the more significant in the first aria for contralto, solo violin and continuo. The first secco recitative represents a special feature: two fragments of the chorale are woven as arioso into the recitative, both in text and melody; futhermore, they are also taken up canonically by the continuo.

To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the death of Anton Diabelli we are publishing the two additional movements of his first Country Mass, the remainder of which is already available. These two movements, suitable for use during any period of the Church year, are further cause to perform at church services and in concerts the Mass in E flat major, which despite its simplicity can be impressive in effect. The flexibility in the size of the orchestra intended by the composer makes this work ideal for churches whatever their instrumental resources are.

The Carus critical new edition is the very first edition of the Grabmusik which is based on Mozart's separate autographs for movements 1-6, and 7-8, respectively. The fact that the final movement also contains two horn parts which have never appeared in print is an absolutely sensational discovery. Now the work may be again performed using Mozart's last, original instrumentation. Score and part available separately - see item CA.5104200.

Johann Sebastian Bach's Magnificat BWV 243 was composed in its first form in E flat, right at the beginning of Bach's period in Leipzig, for the Visitation of Mary on 2.7.1723; for a further performance on the 1st day of Christmas, Bach added four extra Christmas movements following a Leipzig tradition. Only in the 1730s did Bach arrange the Magnificat in the well-known version in D; the orchestration was slightly altered, particularly improving the considerable practical performance problems encountered in the E flat major version. Our critical new edition contains the version of the Magnificat in D, based on Bach's autograph score. For Christmas performances the extra movements are available separately, transposed for performance with the D major version of the Magnificat (Carus 31.243/50).

ISBN 9790007220143. Language: Latin.

The Missa Sancti Henrici is a work of Biber's later years. It is one of his largest and most mature pieces of church music. With the skillful alternation of the stile antico and the stile moderno, as well as the contrast between Solo and Tutti, Biber attained a structure within the individual movements rich in variety. In its original architectural conception, Salzburg Cathedral had four galleries, each with its own organ, on the piers supporting the dome at the crossing. This conception created the spatial prerequisite for double- and polychoral performance tradition on the Venetian model. Biber's magnificent sacred music brought this tradition to a point of culmination in a ,,colossal style that was unique in transalpine Europe.
