Par BEETHOVEN LUDWIG VAN. Widely regarded as the most memorable and musically concentrated of Beethoven’s orchestral works, his symphony No. 5 is also one of the most popular works in the literature. With its unforgettable four-note motive, lean textures and superb orchestration, it is a classic example of the thematic unification Beethoven developed during his middle period- a creative time during which his music exhibited unprecedented freedom of expression and exultation./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. “I know for a fact that the Emperor is proposing to mount a German opera in Vienna, and that he is making every effort to find a young Kapellmeister who understands German, has talent and is capable of striking out on a new path. [. . . ] I think it would be a good thing for me – provided, of course, that the pay is good. If the Emperor will give me a thousand gulden, I will write a German opera for him. ” Thus Mozart in a letter of 10–11 January 1778 from Mannheim to his father, Leopold. He continued by asking his father to “write to every good friend in Vienna you can think of and say that it is in my power to do honor to the Emperor. If he won’t take meon any other terms, then let him try me with an opera. After that he can do what he likes for all I care. ” Urtext of the New Mozart Edition Full score (BA4591-01), vocal score (BA4591-90) and study score format 22. 5 x 16. 5cm (TP311) available for sale Performance material available for hire (BA4591-72)/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

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.

Cantata for the Feast of Reformation. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott BWV 80 (A Mighty Fortress is our God) Cantata for the Feast of Reformation There are practically no surviving original sources for Bach's great Reformation Cantata 'Ein feste Burg ist unser Gott'. It is possible that the original form of the Cantata was written in Weimar in 1715 to which Bach later made various additions and alterations to transform it into a Reformation Cantata for Leipzig. Although scholarly opinion as to the sources is divided there is no doubt that the opening chorus, based on Martin Luther's chorale melody 'Ein feste Burg' is one of Bach's greatest achievements.

Par ROSSINI GIOACHINO. This study score is based on the critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ” edited by Patricia B. Brauner and published in 2008 as part of the series “Works of Gioachino Rossini”. But who needs a new critical edition of “ The Barber Of Seville ”? The opera has been performed in theatres throughout the world since 1816 and has never been absent from the repertoire. There are two reasons for a critical new edition: firstly, none of the early editions satisfy modern demands for a scholarly-critical edition. Secondly, there is a wealth of previously unpublished material relating to this opera, of great interest to both scholars andperformers. Thus the famous overture, which Rossini had already used in his earlier opera “Aureliano in Palmira”, differs noticeably from earlier editions in many places. The new edition enables performers to perform the overture either in its original scoring (as in “Aureliano in Palmira”), which includes two Flutes, two Oboes and Timpani, or in the scoring for the subsequent opera “ The Barber Of Seville ” (with just one flute, one oboe and no timpani). A series of appendices contain music and information which have been included in no other edition of the opera to date. - Takes into account all original sources, also including five manuscripts with Rossini’s autograph ornamentation. - Takes into consideration the full extent of Rossini ’s personal notational characteristics. - With a detailed foreword (Eng/Ital)/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par HAENDEL GEORG FRIEDRICH. The publication of the new Urtext edition of Water Music makes the work available in a revised edition reflecting the latest research findings. In October 2004, the editor Terence Best found the oldest surviving manuscript score in the archives of the Royal Society of Musicians in London – primary source A, which can be dated to 1718. This discovery demands a dramatic reappraisal of what is probably Handel ’s most famous work. Until this find, the theory formulated by Barrett Lennard in 1950 was regarded as authoritative. He divided the material into three suites according to key and instrumentation. This was based on the fact that some ofthe material in the Water Music is the same as in the Concerto HWV 331. With the help of the latest technology, it has now been possible to date this Concerto to 1722. By doing this, the rationale for dividing the music into three suites has been removed. The newly found primary source A places the movements in a richly varied sequence of keys and instrumentations which offers a great range of colours than the previous arrangement. Based on new sources, editor Terence Best has been able to reconstruct the original order of the suites and correct many points left open or unclarified in earlier publications. - New critical edition based on new sources. - Detailed Prefaces (Ger/Eng). - Urtext of the “Halle Handel Edition”/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Symphonie dramatique. Par BERLIOZ HECTOR. Romeo et Juliette Op. 17 Hol. 73: Symphonie dramatique For his third symphony ; Romeo et Juliette (1839) Berlioz turned to his greatest literary passion, Shakespeare, drawing once again on his own most fervent experiences. Berlioz's discovery of Shakespeare in 1827 had been overwhelming not only for the dramatic force of the poetry and drama, but also because the leading actress of the company, Harriet Smithson, immediately won his heart. She later became his wife. He began to think seriously about composing some kind of musical ; Romeo and Juliet but it was not realised until 1839. The symphony is scored for doublechorus (to represent the two warring families), solo voices as secondary characters, with the lovers themselves represented by the orchestra.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern (How Bright And Fair The Morning Star) BWV 1. Cantata for the Feast of Annunciation Day. The cantata “ Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern ” BWV 1 was written for 25 March 1725, when the Feast of the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary coincided with Palm Sunday. It forms the conclusion of Bach ’s cantata cycle of 1724/25. The anonymous librettist retained the outer verses 1 and 7 of Philipp Nicolai’s text (1599) which is assigned to the feast of Epiphany according to old tradition but was also sung at the Annunciation of the Blessed Mary. Verses 2 to 6 form the basis for the Tenor and Bassrecitatives and the Soprano and Tenor arias. Bach ’s composition has a particularly festive brilliance with his use of 2 Horns, 2 Oboes Da Caccia and the two concertante solo Violins.
