Quarter Military Band QMB 511-Score and parts for a meditation on a Sequence by Beethoven from Bernstein's work Mass. Arranged by Donal Hunsberger for wind band.The 1970s saw a number of religious rock musicals notably Jesus Christ Superstar and Godspell and Bernstein was so impressed by the latter that he invited 23-year-old writer Stephen Schwartz to provide lyrics for Mass—once again Bernstein reached beyond his own world of classical music for a collaborator to help him create a large-scale musical theater piece as he had with West Side Story.Mass was Bernstein's most ambitious theater work. Despite its adaptation of the Latin text interspersed with songs ''numbers '' choreographic sequences and symphonic interludes Mass is ecumenical in nature and cannot be categorized. Perhaps the most accurate description of the piece is ''pageant.'' With approximately 200 performers including dancers singers a boy chorus rock and blues singers actors and two orchestras as well as a marching band—who play through the audience—Mass is a musical and theatrical experience.Bernstein's Meditation No 2 allows both audience and celebrant a moment of contemplation.

Score and parts to a movement from Bernstein's first symphony 'Jeremiah' transcribed by Frank Bencriscutto for wind band.

Haydn's Symphony #26 received its nickname 'Lamentazione? during his lifetime, though it is unclear whether this stems directly from the composer.This work probably originated no later than 1770. Its first and second movements quote excerpts from Gregorian chants used in Holy Week. In Haydn's day it was customary to play individual movements in church services, and it may be assumed that these two movements were performed, and possibly composed, independently from each other.Continuing the collaboration between Bärenreiter and the Henle publishing company in the areas of large-scale choral works, operas and symphonies, Haydn's Symphony #26 is appearing, based on the Henle Complete Edition of the 'Works of Joseph Haydn?.
