Vocal Score-Its first performance at the San Carlo theatre in Naples on 26th September 1835 an acclaimed success Lucia Di Lammermoor was a real triumph for Gaetano Donizetti. The Bergamasque composer - who had returned to Naples that year where he was hailed as a maestro - had met Salvadore Cammarano and they quickly struck up good artistic relations. On the inspiration of Walter Scott's 'The Bride Of Lammermoor' Cammarano wrote a fast-moving libretto typical of a romantic ballad with a strong formal structure and boosted by first class melody. The love story as described by the two authors is beautiful yet sad and tragic. Lucia takes on an almost uniquerole in Italian Opera; a heroine completely bereft of human passion apart from her total dedication to love. The romantic female character par excellence capable of bewitching even Madame Bovary and Anna Karenina.

Containing 38 Piano solos this bumper collection offers a fantastic selection of film themes all specially arranged for the Grade 1-3 pianist. Features a brand new easy-to-read notation style complete with fingerings chordsymbols and lyrics where appropriate.

The opera ?Na s? was premiered on 22 April 1749 at the Académie royale in the Palais-Royal Paris in celebration of the signing of the so-called Treaty of Aachen. It was revived again in August 1764 shortly before Rameau?s death and achieved great success as the ?opera of peace ? even though it did not appear in print during the composer?s lifetime.In numerous arias Rameau provides his singers ample opportunity to shine while he reveals his orchestral mastery in particular in the chaconne and the various other ballets.The work appears here for the first time in a vocal score with a keyboard reduction. The reduction is by François Saint-Yves on the basis ofthe new critical edition by Pascal Denécheau which is part of Opera Omnia Rameau edited by Sylvie Bouissou.This edition is the result of a meticulous comparison of all known musical sources. In the main section it presents the version that Rameau approved for the performances of 1749. The appendix contains those passages that the composer cut during the rehearsals in 1749 and all changes that he undertook for the 1764 revival.

Humphrey Clucas is known for a wide range of choral and vocal music alongside a growing body of instrumental music and this beautiful and evocative song is set to words by A.E. Housman. Originally for voice and lute Evenfall also works well with piano accompaniment and the edition includes versions for high voice (A minor) and low voice (E minor). The accompaniment is simple and supportive allowing the flowing melody to soar above with a tonal and accessible style which should appeal to singers of all ages and abilities.Humphrey Clucas was born in 1941 and read English at King's College Cambridge where he was also a Choral Scholar. Having taught Englishfor twenty-seven years he subsequently became a Lay Vicar at Westminster Abbey but is now retired. As a composer he is self taught and although he is well-known for a set of Anglican Responses written as an undergraduate almost all his serious music has been written over the last twenty-five years. He has a growing reputation as a choral composer and has produced an impressive and steady stream of choral works both sacred and secular alongside much instrumental music. He has written works for Cathedrals in Chichester Guildford Salisbury and Winchester as well as for King's College Cambridge Southwell Minster and Westminster Abbey.

The composer Rudolf Kelterborn about his work: ?I call the ten compositions for female voice and piano ?DUOS? because the voice and instrument parts are treated musically with absolute equality and indeed often go their own independent ways.

In the vocal part there are several variants, and this makes them accessible for different types of voice.

The 10 duos do not form a complete cycle that can be heard only as an entire work. Smaller groups can be put together and presented according to text-related or musical aspects.

The texts are by authors who have continued to inspire me for years.? / [10 Duos Pour Voix de Femme et Piano] / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

Salieri, Antonio Prima la musica e poi le parole Divertimento teatrale in one act Details Edition no.: BA 8811-90 ISMN: 9790006542826 Editor: Betzwieser, Thomas / La Salvia, Adrian Arranger: Müller, Karl-Heinz / Schellevis, Hans Language(s) of work: German, Italian Language(s) of text: German, English Product format: Piano reduction, Urtext edition Comments: Replaces BA 7698-90 Binding: Paperback Pages / Format: XVI, 199 S. - 27,0 x 19,0 cm A memorable musical competition commissioned by the emperor Joseph II took place on 7 February 1786 as part of a festival in the orangery of the Schönbrunn palace. The Italian court singers and musicians performed Mozart’s Schauspieldirektor whilst Antonio Salieri’s Prima la musica e poi le parole was performed by a German Singspiel ensemble. This charming opera satire belongs to the genre of “metamelodrama” in which the opera itself becomes the subject of the action. The people who are part of an opera production, for example the writer, composer and prima donna, appear as characters on the stage and are presented in a humorous mirror image. In this ‘theatre about theatre’ Salieri parodies the music from Giuseppe Sarti’s Giulio Sabino in his insert arias, thus playing on the music which was totally familiar with the audience of that time. By reflecting on the musical-dramatic style of that time and discussing whether ‘the word’ or ‘the music’ should take priority, this masterpiece is considered to be a forerunner to Richard Strauss’s Capriccio. This new edition of the score is published as part of OPERA – Spectrum of European Music Theatre in Separate Editions. There are several alterations regarding the libretto text, stage directions, articulation, ornamentation, etc. which have been incorporated into the newly engraved vocal score. Furthermore, all appendix numbers from the score which concern the quotations from Giuseppe Sarti’s Giulio Sabino have also been incorporated. - Urtext edition based on the historical-critical hybrid edition OPERA-Spectrum of European Music Theatre in Separate Editions edited by Thomas Betzwieser (music edition) and Adrian La Salvia (text edition).- Original Italian libretto with singable German translation- Comprehensive bilingual foreword (Ger/Eng) on the genesis and reception of the work, on metamelodrama and intertextuality- Includes an extensive appendix to the quotations taken from Giuseppe Sarti’s Giulio Sabino- Idiomatic piano reduction
