Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae. Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Gleichwie der Regen und Schnee vom Himmel fällt (Like as the Raindrops and Snow from Heaven fall) BWV 18 Cantata for Sunday Sexagesimae, Leipzig Version. These editions of Bach Cantatas offer the authoritative text of the New Bach Edition meeting Bärenreiter Urtext standards. No group of works in Johann Sebastian Bach's output is as wide-ranging as the cantatas. This is hardly surprising considering that for over five years Bach was required to compose a work, or at least re-work an existing one, for every Sunday and festival of the church year, as well as for numerous secular occasionssuch as council inaugurations, school and university celebrations and royal birthdays. Unfortunately, not all cantatas have survived. However, over 200 sacred and secular works exist and form a corpus of works suitable for all possible occasions. This rich musical heritage is still as relevant today as it was then. - Performance material vocal score & study score available for sale/ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Par MAHLER GUSTAV. An unabridged republication of this work, orginally published by C. F. Kahnt Nachfolger in 1906. The symphony dates from the composer's prolific period of 1903-4. The work incorporates 'portraits' of Alma in the first movement and of children playing in a diabolical Scherzo- some say, a musical prediction of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years./ Répertoire / Partition de Poche

Dramma giocoso (Opera) in two acts. Par MOZART WOLFGANG AMADEUS. In early 1787 Mozart made his first visit to Prague, where he attended a performance of Le nozze di Figaro on 17 January and conducted the performance five days later. Thoroughly impressed by the huge success of his opera and the personal triumphs he had enjoyed during his visit, he and his wife left the city on 7 February, but not before he had concluded a contract to write a new opera for the next season. This contract, signed with Pasquale Bondini, the director of Count Nostitz’s National Theater, led to the composition of his first opera for Prague, Don Giovanni (K. 527). Ever since its première on 29 October 1787, the opera has moved audiences over andover again and has occupied a special position in Mozart’s rich and variegated output for the stage.

Par BACH JOHANN SEBASTIAN. Bach's original setting of the Magnificat in E-flat major written for Christmas vespers in 1723 includes four inserts, placed at the end of the score, to give a dramataic representation of the Nativity. Although the later D major version is most often performed today, this earlier E-flat major version stands on its own merits with many attractive features which disappeared with the downward transposition.

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
