In the brief half-year period from August 14, 1736, to January 27, 1737, Georg Friedrich Handel achieved an unprecedented level of productivity in his opera compositions, creating three operas. Additionally, in March 1737, he also composed a largely new oratorio titled ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità? (??The Triumph of Time and Truth?) HWV 46b. The libretto of this oratorio closely corresponds to that of the oratorio ??La Bellezza ravveduta nel trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno? (??Beauty Reconciled in the Triumph of Time and Enlightenment?) HWV 46a written in 1707. With ??La Bellezza ravveduta?, Handel composed an allegorical and particularly dramatic oratorio right at the beginning of his oratorio compositions. In this work, there is no chorus inclined towards reflection. Not only do the four allegorical figures, Bellezza (Beauty), Piacere (Pleasure), Tempo (Time), and Disinganno (Enlightenment), listen to each other and react to the ideas presented by the others, but this prevailing dramatic principle of dispute is also found in the recitatives.In 1737, when reworking the oratorio material as ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità?, Handel approached the task pragmatically. He needed a new non-dramatic work to fulfill the evening??s program for his audience at the Covent Garden Theatre during the fasting season when theatrical performances were prohibited. Although he had excellent Italian vocal soloists, notorious for their pronunciation in Handel??s English oratorios and who naturally preferred singing in Italian, Handel found a solution. It was evident to Handel that, in response to the ban on performances of his Italian operas during the fasting season of 1737, he should promptly create a new oratorio in the Italian language but following the three-part ??English? oratorio form that he had developed in ??Esther? HWV 50b in 1732. Unlike in Rome in 1707, he had access to a chorus in London in 1737, and the English oratorio, with its substantial choral sections, a preference for concert-like rather than dramatic composition, and frequent inclusion of organ concertos loosely related to the narrative, was already established.The new volume of the HHA includes the original version of the 1737 premiere as well as all the surviving early and later versions (the latter being exceptional highlights) of individual musical pieces from ??Il trionfo del Tempo e della Verità?.

Schubert??s Mass in E-flat major is the last of his six settings of the Ordinarium Missae (Mass ordinary) and also his most important work in this genre. The mass is full of color and drama, infused with the spirit of confession. For many choirs, it is on the wish list of those works they would like to sing someday. But what happens if you don??t have enough singers, money is tight, and your venue is on the small side? Here the experienced arranger and orchestral musician Joachim Linckelmann has a great solution. His version for soloists, choir and chamber orchestra requires only 7 winds rather than the original 13. The string parts, while identical to the original, can now also be scaled back. The vocal parts (soloists and chorus) are completely untouched by the arrangement, so that the vocal scores and choral scores of the Carus Urtext edition can also be used for performance?,A large-scale work now arranged for smaller choirs ?,13 winds of the original version reduced to 7 instruments?,Vocal scores and choral scores of the original version can still be used?,carus plus: The work (original version) is available in the app carus music, the Choir Coach, as well as in our Carus Choir Coach series (audio only)..

Handel composed his first Italian oratorioLa Bellezza ravveduta nel trionfo del Tempo e del DisingannoHWV 46a in 1707. It is based on an allegorical moral libretto written by Cardinal Benedetto Pamphili who also commissioned this work.Disinganno (Illumination) and Tempo (Time) try to get the young, beautiful and frivolous Bellezza (Beauty) to recognise the true values of life and to act accordingly. The audience accompanies Bellezza in her spiritual development, in which she increasingly distances herself from Piacere (Pleasure) and listens more and more to Tempo and Disinganno.The oratorio contains some of the most beautiful music Handel ever composed. This includes the enchanting ariaLascia la spina, in which he uses the music of the sarabande from the operaAlmira, composed in Hamburg in 1704, and which then achieved immortal fame inRinaldo(1711) asLascia ch'io pianga.

The Gloria, composed in early 1822 at the age of 13, is Mendelssohn's first creative venture in the field of church music on a larger scale. It is a direct result of his composition studies under the director of the Berlin Singakademie Carl Friedrich Zelter, but was no longer wholly a student work because the young composer hoped that Zelter would provide him with an opportunity to perform this work with the Singakademie. The enthusiasm for Handel and Bach which was sustained by the performances at the Singakademie influenced Mendelssohn's early creative style. In the Gloria Mendelssohn sought to emulate the model of the large-scale baroque cantata. The concluding fugue, the mysterious Qui tollis and lyrical solos ensembles in the place of solo arias give testimony to Mendelssohn's great talent and willingness to experiment.

In the musical-historical context Anton Diabelli is among a transitional group of Biedermeier composers who cannot be classed as either classical or romantic. Diabelli's intention was to publish this Mass in accordance with the tradition of his teacher Michael Haydn as a Country Mass, although its technical demands and also its length far exceeded those customary in a Country Mass and Missa brevis. The extant sources offer scope for performance in various different versions as regards the instrumentation used, all these versions having the right to be considered authentic.

We know relatively little about the genesis of Schubert??s Mass in E-flat major (D 950) which he completed in 1828, a few months before his death. The work was not performed during his lifetime and we can only speculate what might have caused the composer to write this Missa solemnis.In the preface to this volume of the New Schubert Edition, editor Rudolf Faber assembles all documented facts. Furthermore, he focuses on the accents, which are such a characteristic element of Schubert??s autograph scores, and explains how Schubert used them in a very differentiated manner, in particular in the Mass in E-flat major. In order to do justice to these subtle differences, the New Schubert Edition has introduced a new symbol: an accent which is flexible with regard to its length and which makes it possible to visualize Schubert??s sophisticated employment of emphasis and accentuation.The work is scored for large orchestra (without flutes), chorus, and one soprano as well as two tenors as soloists. In Schubert??s autograph the organ is not explicitly called for, but Ferdinand Schubert added an organ part for the posthumous premiere on 4 October 1829 at the Dreifaltigkeitskirche of Vienna Alservorstadt.
