Mozart, Wolfgang Amadeus La clemenza di Tito K. 621 Facsimile of Mozart's autograph score The Seven Great Operas in Facsimile Editions of Mozart?s Autograph Scores ?Idomeneo?, ?Die Entführung aus dem Serail?, ?Le nozze di Figaro?, ?Don Giovanni?, ? Così fan tutte ?, ?Die Zauberflöte ?, ?La clemenza di Tito? ? Mozart?s seven great operas, his brilliant contribution to music theatre and world culture, are unequalled in their depth of human characterisation and musical expression. Through happy coincidence, all seven opera scores have survived almost complete in Mozart?s manuscript. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI, Los Altos , California ) has now embarked on producing a facsimile edition of the seven autograph scores. Mozart scholars, libraries and of course all lovers of Mozart?s stage works now have the opportunity of acquiring these priceless manuscripts in flawless reproductions. At the same time, all risks about preserving Mozart?s legacy for the world of music are taken care of. The Packard Humanities Institute (PHI) charitable foundation, known for its philanthropic programmes in the arts and sciences, has forged an ideal cooperation for the Mozart project. Under the scholarly direction of an editorial board (Ulrich Konrad , David Packard, Wolfgang Rehm , Christoph Wolff; General editor Dietrich Berke) the International Mozarteum Foundation Salzburg and the libraries where Mozart?s manuscripts are held are working together with the Packard Humanities Institute. The production of the volumes is exquisite, for the digitalization of the manuscripts has been undertaken using the latest technology, which allows for an astounding level of authenticity and precision in detail. The printing follows the uncompromisingly high standards demanded by the edition. All seven volumes include essays on the history of literature and ideas by Hendrik Birus , Hans Joachim Kreutzer and Robert Miller as well as musicological introductions by leading Mozart scholars in German and English. The facsimile edition will be distributed by Bärenreiter- Verlag . - consolidation of Mozart manuscripts held in different places - highest level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour through use of the latest technology - unique offer thanks to project sponsorship by the Packard Humanities Institute (Los Altos, California) Precision in reproduction thanks to cutting edge technology In preparing the manuscripts for reproduction, equipment was used in line with the highest technical standards currently available. Mozart?s original manuscripts of the seven operas are held by several libraries. For five of the operas, the different acts have even ended up in different libraries following World War II. Thus, the autograph of Act I of ? Così fan tutte ? is in the Jagiellonian Library in Kraków and the second act in the Staatsbibliothek zu Berlin ? Preußischer Kulturbesitz . In order to achieve a uniformly high level of precision in reproduction and authenticity of colour both within a work and for all seven editions, the use of the same technical equipment in all the different places was a prerequisite. Specialist from the Salzburg firm ? Kirchberger Photography? were employed, were provided with the latest equipment by the Packard Humanities Institute and also given special additional training in the modern technology by specialists in the USA. Proofs of each edition were compared with the original in each location and improved until the likeness could not be bettered in all details. Mozart?s music and text notation is reproduced extremely clearly, and even those places where Mozart corrected or had rubbed out marks he had already made, appear in these editions in a previously unmatched transparency.

Studienpartitur. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. Premièred at the Vienna Hoftheater on 1 May 1786, Wolfang Amadeus Mozart?s and Lorenzo Da Ponte?s Le nozze di Figaro may be safely regarded as one of the greatest operatic successes of all times. Yet its success was not entirely due to Mozart?s music: on the contrary, because of the extraordinary demands it placed on the orchestra (especially the woodwinds), the music even posed an obstacle to the work?s spread outside the German-speaking countries. At least equally responsible for the opera?s success was the librettist Lorenzo Da Ponte, who managed to transform a topical and socio-critical stage play into an opera libretto as effective as it isamusing. Many of the sources for Mozart?s first opera from the Lorenzo Da Ponte trilogy only became available to scholars again after the ?New Mozart Edition? volume was published. These include the autograph scores of acts 3 and 4, now held at the Biblioteka Jagiello ka in Kraków, significant portions of the original sets of parts and acts 2 to 4 of the conductor?s copy from the first performance of 1786. These original sources, now available again, offer compelling solutions to several previously unresolved questions. Edition based on the Urtext of the ?New Mozart Edition? reflecting the latest musicological research With findings from original sources now available again Detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) Full score (BA4565-01), Vocal score (BA4565-92), study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm

Invisible Cities for Orchestra by Swedish composer Britta Byström (2013). Programme note: Invisible Cities is an orchestral piece inspired by the Italian writer Italo Calvino's novel 'Le città invisible' (1972). The novel consists of many short poetical descriptions of wondrous cities. This is what the explorer Marco Polo reports to Kublai Khan of what he has seen during his travels. Gradually though Kublai Khan begins to suspect that Marco Polo all the time describes one and the same city but in many different ways: Marco Polo's own hometownVenice.  This was also my musical idea: to present the same motif in many different ways. The piece has eleven movements just as the novel consists of eleven different kinds of cities. Before every new musical 'city' there is a 'walk' – a little piano line which takes the listener from one city to another. This piano line is a quotation from Witold Lutoslawski'sVenetian Games. There are also other music connected to Venice hidden in my piece: the well-known Barcarolle by Offenbach and some fragments from Carnival in Venice. These references are the 'invisible cities' of my piece the material hidden under the music's surface. Marco Polo explains to Kublai Khan: 'To distinguish the other cities' qualities I must speak of a first city that remains implicit. For me it is Venice.'  (c) Britta Byström  Britta Byström’s careful ear for musical qualities such as timbre and resonance has resulted in an idiom that could almost be labeled impressionistic. She began composing already as a teenager and later studied composition at Musikhögskolan in Stockholm with Pär Lindgren and Bent Sørensen.

in Full Score-The Piano Concerto In A Minor (Op. 16) is one of the most popular concertos ever written and one of the most recognisable of all musical works in the repertoire.Edvard Grieg (1843-1907) was born in Bergen Norway and studied Piano at the Leipzig Conservatory. He became interested in Norwegian folksong and began to employ it as a source of musical material and inspiration in his compositions. He was soon established as a major composer. Despite his success Grieg was of a retiring disposition and spent most of his time at his house in Troldhaugen near Bergen avoiding visitors and shunning public acclaim.

This work written by Maxwell Davies in 1983 for chamber orchestra was commissioned to celebrate the quartercentenary of Edinburgh University. The first performance was given by the Scottish Chamber Orchestra conducted by EdwardHarper in October 1983. Duration c. 29mins.This work was thought through in outline following a visit to the ruined pre-Reformation church of Hoy in Orkney on a fine Spring afternoon after Maxwell Davies had played theharmonium for the tiny congregation in its large bleak Victorian replacement. The old church was surrounded by the graves of centuries the more recent ones with familiar names largely of people who lived in houses now ruinous crofters fishermen clerics sea-captains. Next to it stood the chief farmhouse the Bu going back to Viking times. He thought of the lives and deaths encompassed there expressed through hundreds of years of music in thechurch and in the big barn of the farm.The plainsongs ‘Dies Irae’ and ‘Victimae Paschali Laudes’ are used throughout the work the first concerning the Day of Judgement from the Mass for the Dead the second particular toEaster Sunday and the Resurrection. These are subject to constant transformation the intervallic contour slowly changes from one into the other and their notes are made to dance through Renaissance astrological ‘magic square’patterns.The orchestra consists of double woodwind two horns two trumpets and strings.

Par SPENGLER ALEXANDRE. Les quatre mouvements de cette suite ne sont pas des 'illustrations', musicales descriptives. Ce sont des évocations d'ambiances, traduisant l'esprit et l'atmosphère des quatre ouvrages en question du romancier. C'est même pour cette raison que certains titres ont été modifiés, pour mieux répondre au caractère géneral desdits ouvrages. I - Voyage au Centre de la Terre est Une évocation de monde minéral et de la formidable pesanteur des inébranlables assises de l'écorce terrestre. En outre, l'idée d'une descente progressive des héros du livre à travers les anfractuosités ténebreuses de l'épaisseur granitique y est également évoquée. II - Le Nautilus et son Capitaine Nemo (Mobilis in mobilé) évoque le fabuleux sous-marin le Nautilus se glissant, mobile, rapide, puissant et insaisissable, à travers les couches liquides de l'Océan, - et l'âme indépendante, hardie et investigatrice de son animateur, le légendaire Capitaine Nemo. III - A la Recherche du Capitaine Grant Traduit l'idée-fixe d'une incessante et obstinée recherche pleine de tension angoissée, orientée toujours vers un même but, vers une même esperance, - recherche sans cesse interompue par le même obstacle : la fausse piste. Aprês un ultime et âpre effort pour aboutir, la recherche se termine dans un esprit tranquille et apaisé, - le Capitaine Grant ayant été retrouvé par hasard sur l'île Tabor. IV - Hatteras au Pôle Nord Traduit l'ambiance morne et immaculée des paysages polaires au milieu desquels vogue le navire du Capitaine Hatteras, et l'étrange et navrant drame qui se joue dans l'âme du héros qui, fasciné toute sa vie par l'obsession d'atteindre le Pôle Nord, sombre définitivement dans la démence lorsqu'il l'a atteint. Désormais, - tel une aiguille aimantée, - tout son être ne sera plus attaché qu'à un point de l'espace, un point immuable, géometrique, toujours le même, à l'exclusion de toute autre réalité... Le point qui indique le Nord (fin du morceau : un son mince, persistant, irrémédiablement isolé dans le lointain inaccessible où il se perd, - note longuement tenue par un hautbois tout seul qui finit par s'éteindre). / contemporain / Répertoire / Orchestre

Orchestration: 3(pic)(afl).2+ca.1+2bcl.2+cbn/4.3.3.1/timp.2perc/hp/pf/strParts are for hire: hire@ewh.dkProgramnote Hush er et studie i mørke og lys kold og varm lyd. Jeg har også i dette stykke forsøgt at introducere stærke følelsesmæssige udtryk ved brug af instrumentale farver og tonale virkemidler. Titlen Hush er forbundet med et slags ”indre digt” jeg har haft i tankerne medens jeg komponerede. Da jeg jo ikke er digter i ord er det ufuldstændigt og utilstrækkeligt i sin form men derfor alligevel meget godt beskrivende for stykkets væsen. Det lyder nogenlunde sådan her i mit hoved:Hush little heart- hush.!!was time running too fast or did the hours sometimesseem long? Were your beats too many or were they too few in the end?Hush little heart- hushdid you see too little or did you sometimes see too much? was life too small or was it sometimes larger than life?was your thirst quenched or did you end up drained?hush hush little heart- hush!! Don't be afraid maybe you knew all the time:that one day you would have to be still-or maybe you didn't?Is that why you were beating so fast?hush hush little heart-hush - be comforted 'cause even as you feel so small Your very existence is strange and beautiful - so hush hush be comforted be still my beating heart.
